OTAs this week

[papasmurfbell]

He’s not one I’d keep.  Not enough production for what he will get.  Let a sucker team compensate us through the nose and waste their cap.

[tsylvester]

86 catches for 1200 yards last season, 74 for just over 1,000 the year before. Never complains about touches, he is a solid player. If they can find a true outside guy, he will be even more productive inside.

[papasmurfbell]

Not one single td in the post season.  Those stats were at the expense of likely.

[tsylvester]

Every reception by a player is at the expense of another player. Do you know the route combinations, the reads? Who was 1st read, 2nd, 3rd? Nope

The lack of a touchdown in the post season can be for many reasons, one if the qb and time he has.

Another the the play call, see 1st paragraph. 

9 days till camp, cant wait

[papasmurfbell]

This many opportunities in the playoffs I would say is nerves.  Don’t forget that very last play in the end zone he was butterfingers.

[tsylvester]

How about Likely's fumble against the Steelers a few years ago? Or his drop in the endzone in the playoffs against them? Or his lack of awareness against KC at the end of the game in the endzone that would have resulted in a win? Instead, he doesnt get all of his feet in bounds.....

Been plenty of miscues by a number of players, Zay is a keeper

[oldno82]

Geez you can't ask for much more than back to back 1000+ yd seasons the last 2 years...and he's young and wants to stay here.

Likely is young with tread with less chances at the apple.

Mark is 30.  That’s not young.

[oldno82]

I thought we were talking about Flowers?

[papasmurfbell]

Sry.  Flowers is young but can’t get in the end zone.  He isn’t worth 35 per which is about the rate now.  

[oldno82]

I've been reading a lot in the media about how the Ravens 'need' to add a veteran receiver. I don't see why, at least at this point. We've got Surratt and the other WR we drafted who's name escapes me and I think they ought to have a chance along with Dez Walker for a place on the depth chart. Sure they're young but I really don't want to see a continuation of the Harbaugh philosophy that by default a veteran (especially an aged one) is always better than giving a young guy a chance. Before you know it, our young receivers are in the 3rd year of their rookie contract with only one year to go just as they are hitting their stride. Lets give them an opportunity sooner.

[tsylvester]

No sense is bringing in a guy who is two steps slow and cant get open save for once every 6 games.

Flowers is now a veteran, plenty of games under his belt and he is still very fresh.

Between Lane and Walker, there is size, speed, one will prove out to be able to get open consistently and catch the daggone ball.

Between Bateman, who is also a vet now, and Sarrat they have the other slot covered opposite Flowers who can also double as a deep threat. Lane can also work in the slot, giving the Ravens 2 big wrs in the slot to match up with two big tight ends in Andrews, Smythe and Hibner.

There is plenty of talent to be used, developed, save cap space. With all due respect to the media who cover this team, blow it out your a......

[oldno82]

My sentiments exactly!
