papasmurfbell Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 The Ravens D is solid not great anymore. Quote
cravnravn Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 Can you provide me the power ball numbers for the 121 million draw tonight, Oh great Kreskin.. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 It is 139 and no i can't. The machine picked my numbers for me. Quote
cravnravn Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 Well Im disagreeing with you on your D prediction..We are great, we are elite D we have spent 10 years in the top 5, I dont see us regressing this season, if anything I see us into the #1 and #2 slot..We have a honest to goodness shut down corner in Webb, just wished that there was some way to keep Jimmy Smith, Carrey and Webb on the field at all times.. This is why I miss camp, Id love to hear reports from fans on how Smith & Williams clash is going! Quote
reddog271 Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 The Ravens D is solid not great anymore. doesn't have to be great... but they've been top 5 for like the last 12 years... what is there to complain about? Quote
papasmurfbell Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 It is not bequethed that they will be top 5 forever. Also being top 5 is reletive. There can be quite a falloff from 1-5. Also screw the way they calculate the rankings. It only looks at yds. There is much more to it than that. Quote
reddog271 Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 Nothing is bequethed.... if you check.. I would bet there were top 5 in points each year too. Quote

This is why I miss camp, Id love to hear reports from fans on how Smith & Williams clash is going! Crav with these pass happy offenses I think you're gonna see alot more of the nickel passages. These guys are gonna be complementing each other all year! Quote
papasmurfbell Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 Except you make it sound like they will be top 5 forever. Quote
cravnravn Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 Well Pops they have been Top 5 for 10 years now, I know we are spoiled brats... Quote
yagersports Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 What is this guy's point? Why is he arguing that one day are D won't be this good? Well duh, doesn't take Nostradamous to know that eventually we won't be great at D. However there is nothing right now in the works that would indicate that we won't continue to be successful on d. Papa should change his screenname to Chicken Little. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 Have you concidered changing yours to head in the sand. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/ravens/bs-sp-preston-ravens-0731-20120730,0,3695255.column At this point, Ravens should be concerned about rush defense Quote
cravnravn Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 Why? caus Mike Preston said so? Come on Pops Quote
papasmurfbell Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 He tends to be correct more times than not. Just because he tells the truth as he sees it and doen't sugarcoat doesn't make him worng. Quote
cravnravn Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 Oh thats right you are Preston, god how can i forget that!!!!!!!! Quote
cravnravn Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 No hes a f'n antagonist..Hes been an asshole since 2000, why would expect him to change. Quote
yagersports Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 Preston often looks for a story where there isn't one. With Ngata, Cody, McClain, and Lewis, things will be fine, health being a factor of course. I don't see Preston making any evaluation of Ngata's muscle contusion last year. It's clear that he drastically whore down and wasn't as effective as a result. And......on top of it.....despite the rushing yards allowed.......we WON games. This is a deep team that can win games and overcome adversity when one part of the team fails. There is no reason to doubt this teams ability to stop the run. None whatsoever. This team is deep and has pride. They will do just fine. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 Except it is giving up more on the ground over the last few yrs. It has accelorated. Quote
cravnravn Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 This week its the D-Line, next week it will be Ed Reed, the week after that it'll be the O-Line, then from opening day on it'll be Joe Flacco...We know his schtick all to well Quote
papasmurfbell Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 The OL should be questioned. Ed should be too. With Joe I have to question Cam. Mike has yet to drop a bomb on his head. Quote
