Newsome is Awesome

Of the two, I'd keep Brooks. Not certain of Brook's upside, but have seen quite enough of Elam. If Lewis is also eligible for final safety cut, it might be close between Elam and Lewis, still would let Elam go and not think twice about it.

I view it the same way. A good Quarterback is like fresh strawberries, both leave little time to mess around. To my eye, they have isolated him. Have taken his favorite receiver from him. Provided him with receivers from below the top shelf. Played musical chairs with his offensive line. It's an amazing story. Obviously they haven't meant to undermine him, but they haven't done much to support him. On a positive note he seems to have developed rapport with Wallace. A man sought out to help him. Flacco has made very positive comments about him. If that relationship clicks on the field they will have to be praised. Obviously the 1st round selection of Perriman was also an effort to get Flacco that help. I always thought Wallace's biggest strength was knowing when and where to go on the field when a play was breaking down. If he can do that for Flacco, Joes arm will likely get him the ball.

Yeah, the coaching staff is tired of answering questions about his return. He had this childhood disease Osweiller something........Osgood maybe and after his recent injury they talked surgery but opted for "Stem Cell" injections. Certain the staff are not holding their breath for his return and fans shouldn't either. In evaluating the 2016 Ravens, I did not consider contribution from Perriman. It would be nice, but it would be a bonus.

Jimmy's 6'. The roster say's he's six two. He's tall compared to most of our other CB's

At least Jimmy Smith is getting closer to defending those TD's we keep seeing here. He got his hands on that one.

Thank You, I am adamant. Being right would be very very sweet. But I want the Ravens to be the preeminent team in the NFL and they are not moving that way. What really bothers is that we have the QB to do it, but we insist upon isolating him. I do believe Stanley played the majority of his snaps against a Linebacker/DE that is in jeopardy of being cut. Make no qualifications upon who Tunsil embarrassed and he also did make some mistakes. But his dominant plays were supremely dominant. Ogden started as a guard, which is a tough position due to multidirectional responsibility. Tunsil made one play that was very noteworthy, he stoned two rushers on the same play from vastly different angles and a pass TD ensued. What was clear is that they were Running with the Big Tunsil and not away from him. Agree it's preseason, but my oh my. Unfortunately he is not a Raven, but this is a "other teams" thread. Wholelotta, don't do me that way...

Maybe........maybe not, but discussing Revis's rookie year, (2007), 87 tackles was a career high 16 games started out of 16 games played may not be a successful measure either. They could have started him because they had no one else, but with hindsight that would appear a stretch. 3 Interceptions may not be a successful measure. 17 passes defensed in those games may not be a successful measure, but it was third best in his career to date. Whether Revis 2009 season was the best CB season ever is debatable, but it's pretty hard to argue that in 2007 he didn't show immense talent right out of the box. Applying that to Elam or Lewis, well Elam for example had 1 pass defensed, couldn't tackle and 1 triple clutch INT, that was right at him. However, have to agree our Front Office has not yet given up on Elam or Lewis.

Well waller couldn't take his place until week 5 so I think it would be a guy like butler and we would just have to use Webby or somebody else at the PR position and just be cautious until we figure out a long term solution. I've really got no problem with Webby doing it all year..all we need is somebody to catch the damn ball. Half the time it will go out of bounds or be a fair catch anyway. Campanaro would be ideal and he should feel the pressure but I don't think anybody like Reynolds is threatening to take his job..hes just not ready. If camps healthy its his and if not we just go with another receiver like Butler or Mathews and throw Webby back to catch the kicks. That's the way I see it anyway. Not sure we can trust Waller to receive punts. That pick that bounced off his hands last week was very concerning. If he plays well in the remaining preseason games without a muff maybe one can begin thinking about it. But am skeptical Campanaro stays healthy enough to make the plays to make the team.

Understanding this is not about Revis, but rather players we hope can become Revis, he started all 16 games as a rookie and had a career year in regard to tackles. One could certainly make a case that his first year may have been the 2nd best year he has ever had. Keenan Lewis has had trouble staying sound. Talent usually shows itself to coaches quite early. Sometimes they hang onto guys hoping to find it. http://www.nfl.com/player/darrellerevis/2495717/gamelogs?season=2007 http://www.nfl.com/player/darrellerevis/2495717/gamelogs?season=2009

Miami and the Big Tunsil 1st Miami Offensive Series: Dallas Thomas, 4th year, 315, completely overwhelmed. No other way to put it.

Aggressive looking block however. 4- Run to Big Tunsil's side, but the man he attempts to block gets in on the tackle. Not a good play 5- Pass, Tunsil not only seals his man, he bull punches him off the rush. Don't know who, but still nice pass block Next Miami Series 6- Tunsil moves his man out of the ball carriers path. They are running with the Big Tunsil 7- quick pass.......tunsils man clears on quick hitter but its completed. average play 8- Tunsil neutralizes his man, but Fins punt........no first downs yet.

Wow......fights upfield........good block on semi trap play........small gainer 26. Play goes other way when Tunsil pulls left......many of Stanley's 1st game plays were similar 27. Tunsil stops a bull rusher.......not a stone 28 Tunsil blows a player off the hole........ 29 Tunsil stones his rusher at the line for an extended time, QB sacked 30 They keep lining up fresh rushers on Tunsil and the result is almost universally the same....nada 31. Tunsil stays right on his man on a busted play 32. Tunsil follows his man inside on a completion......not really a factor 33. Tunsil rides out another pass rusher........Fins rollin 34. Tunsils man beats him to the off center guard hole and makes tackle for loss 35. Tunsil seems to get lost and is not involved in screen play...third and long 36. Tunsil gets far upfield on a sreen and fins covert..........doesn't really make his block....but the hustle was complete 37. Away play where tunsil blocks his man into direction of play for 3rd time.......his man makes tackle 38. Tunsil ties up another fresh lineman ....minimal gain 39. Tunsil looks awkward on no opponent play.......foot stepped on and he goes down 40 Tunsil stones yet another fresh pass rusher....Fins down deep 41. Tunsil pulls runs into at least two giant lineman and seems to bounce off his block. Good effort though 42 Tunsil fights another bull rusher keeps QB safe....but fins kick for FG...Tunsil appeared to tire in this series.....he was very active. Next Fins Possession 43 Tunsil stones another fresh face 44. Tunsil again.......fighting and sealing on a block. 45. They run to Tunsil again, pulls and makes effective man moving block 46. Tunsil looking again, puts his shoulder into a man late....incomplete 47. Non involvement play.......maybe busted 48. Tunsil blocks his man but he recovers and makes tackle about 8 yards downfield. 49 Tunsil takes his man and moves him out to create the hole. ....textbook 50. Tunsil turns his man outta the hole 51. Tunsil appears to be only lineman to move downfield on 3rd and short...4th down 52. Tunsils man circles left and runs himself out of bootleg right.....TD Tunsil is playing out of position and I could detect the fact he wasn't always sure what his assignment was. But once he came in there was no Rush Pressure from his side. It's preseason, but he is clearly the starter. Didn't analyze the Giant Defenders and am quite certain their starters were long gone by the time The Big Tunsil finished his night's work. But then I know for a fact that our Rookie faced a starter for 3 plays. It is preseason. That known, would somebody please shake me and wake me up and when you do whisper me into a trance and tell me that Laremy Tunsil is a Raven. Let it be so

No........just deciding who to cut and who not to cut, that's all preseason is. What one couldn't miss was: Mallet's quick release, ok...he bonked one off a defenders back, but he got it out before the corner could even turn. Judon putting results on the board Dixon can cut

PFF rated Stanley a 1.6 for the game with their current Grading System which indicates that Eli Manning's pinpoint, long up the sideline pass in a recent Superbowl to Mario Manningham was a perfect play at a 2.0 score. With that stated, they rated Matt Judon and Alex Lewis 2.1 and 1.5 respectively. (If you're asking how one scores a 2.1 with a 2.0 being perfect, don't, its stats.) Weight can become relative in regard to situation but stats won't be able to reflect that, nor even comprehend it.

Mallet is just as tall as Joe Flacco
