tsylvester Posted March 20, 2018 Posted March 20, 2018 Ozzie staying on is just the Biscutt's way of not giving in to the calls for his head. Just more dumb stuff from this front office & owner. Hopefully, Harbs goes with Ozzie... Quote
papasmurfbell Posted March 20, 2018 Author Posted March 20, 2018 Steve is proving he knows nothing about football. He keeps being bamboozled. He will run the team into the ground if he isn't careful. It does not take much to be a perennial top 5 pick. Quote
vmax Posted March 20, 2018 Posted March 20, 2018 Mike lays it out....this is the cold hard facts.... The Ravens missed the playoffs by just one game, but they played in possibly the worst division of the NFL and had the easiest second-half schedule of any team.To show how many holes the Ravens had a year ago, just look at the number of their unrestricted free-agent starters who have been signed by other teams. Wide receivers Mike Wallace, Jeremy Maclin and Michael Campanaro, tight end Benjamin Watson, running back Terrance West and right offensive tackle Austin Howard don’t have jobs.Ravens sign former Raiders wide receiver Michael Crabtree to three-year dealRunning back Danny Woodhead just retired, and so should safety Lardarius Webb.Let’s move on to the coaches.Remember when the Ravens were a prominent organization and opposing teams would try to sign their assistant coaches, especially on defense, as coordinators. The list goes back to Marvin Lewis and included Mike Nolan, Mike Smith, Jack Del Rio, Chuck Pagano and Rex Ryan.That doesn’t happen anymore. That tells you something. It’s not just about the front office or the players, but the coaching as well. Bisciotti could have gone through this organization like Sherman through Atlanta. The Michigan/Philly connection isn't working for the Ravens. It's working great for Philly right now. It worked great for the Ravens when they got John and won a Super Bowl. After reading this from Preston, the only positive that I can see is they should end up stronger by replacing those players. Quote
oldno82 Posted March 20, 2018 Posted March 20, 2018 Yes, replacing is better than re-signing these guys even for the favored one year contract. While I don't agree with everything that he's done by a long shot, I don't think Steve Bisciotti is a fool. If the results are the same look for big changes next off-season and they will come rapidly after the last game is played. Quote
varaven45 Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 Slow news day ......... Nothing edifying or newsworthy that we didn’t already know. Cmon Mike, tell us something good ! Quote
JPPT1974 Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 Seems like a slow news day as life gets in the way! Quote
Dayme23 Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 Bold move you heard it hear 1st Ravens draft Lamar Jackson pick #16 Quote

Slow news day ......... Nothing edifying or newsworthy that we didn’t already know.Cmon Mike, tell us something good !Do you want him to make up good news? Bold move you heard it hear 1st Ravens draft Lamar Jackson pick #16 I think Jackson would be a devastatingly bad choice. Quote

varaven45 Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 No except even the most clueless fan already knew all this dribble. Why bother spewing more of the same ? Quote
papasmurfbell Posted March 22, 2018 Author Posted March 22, 2018 He is required to do a certain number of columns. Not much is happening right now so he is looking deeply into the moves revolving around the Ravens. Quote
Tornado700 Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 Well, I did not know that Wallace is gone. Our best receiver. BTW, when is draft day? Quote
