TBird Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 REally. In addition to being the Ravens lead stand-up comedian with his antics on and off thefield he's a professional opera singer. Go to Ravens site for pic performing at a Catholic Charityevent. Anyone remember Hauska? He's on the top 4 list. He was a journeyman kicker ala Billy Goatand blew a simple kick in Minn that killed our playoff chances and was run out of town. Hestill bounced around til he landed in Seattle and won the SB ring. Well, we wouldn't have Tuck if Hausk and Goat hadn't blown those kicks Gano is the other one whom the Ravens cut in favor of Hausk and that pissed me off at the time.I wanted Gano and he is doing well now after bouncing around including the CFL. Shayne Graham is the 4th on the list. In addition to those kickers we have probably the best punter in the game. HARBs credited the special teams coach and scout for bringing them all in. http://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/article-1/Seahawks-Steven-Hauschka-Hails-From-Ravens-Kicking-Tree/6e6b7d41-bf14-4100-adf9-e19354764484 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBird Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 This is just a bad year for everyone. It has to get better next year. Can't go anywhere but up from here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cravnravn Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 This is just a bad year for everyone. It has to get better next year. Can't go anywhere but up from here.That depends on how Joe heals, if he doesn't return til late October we could start 0-8. And then yes it could be worse.

varaven45 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Joe returning back in late October. Crav, where are you hearing this ? I heard successful surgery and back in 6-9 months - meaning September at the latest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vmax Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I heard acl/mcl was 12 month recovery, lets not forget he just was operated on last week January Joe will be ready. He's no baby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBird Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 Exactly. He's still young and never has been injured before. He'll train hard to come back in Septbut he'll be rusty and miss the entire pre-season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc. Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 He's not that young, especially injury-wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll train hard to come back in Septbut he'll be rusty and miss the entire pre-season.No way near young, he's took a pounding over 9 years, and because he's not elite he gets no breaks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldno82 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 So should we be looking to draft a QB to learn for a season or two behind Joe? And if so what round? We've got so many needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got so many needs.Bottom line its a 12 month recovery, we have absolutely no idea how Joe heals, we've never been in this position Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varaven45 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 If it's truly 12 months, we should just tank another season ( another 4-12 record) and plan on being the Bungles and Browns from the last decade. And hopefully draft well and gear up for a 2017 season. I'm thinking more like Max - he's back around September. Can't see Joe not being ready by Sept/Oct. If not, we need to draft Joe's eventual replacement or acquire via FA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBird Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share Posted December 14, 2015 Joe's still young. It's not like he's Steve Smith's Jr's age who is trying to come backnext year. He's never been out before. Joe isn't 22 anymore but he's not 32 either.When I broke my shoulder at 57 the surgeon said I was still young to have surgery onit but if I were a few years older it wouldn't be feasible. Joe is a tough kid who took a lot of hits never getting injured except once in Detroitbut still played with a brace on his knee. He will return. I wouldn't be surprised to see them draft a QB in the first round to groom for the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
