I AM LEGEND

Schefter just reported RG3 injury is serious... Really bad news for us. McCown looked so comfortable ripping us apart last year.

Ahhh how I miss these predictions threads...the good ole "we should win by 24" even though as Ravens fans we should be accustomed to never winning comfortably let alone actually scoring 24 pts. Now we get to act as if RG3 isn't 1-0 against us, Hue Jackson doesn't own us, we dont have a history of week 2 let downs and even worse the Raven Killer Josh McCown may play...I don't know how anyone can feel comfortable about a division away game with those things in play.. With that being said...I completely expect this Raven team to find a way to win this game. They better. This is the type of game you can't lose if your trying to be taken seriously this year.

This is looking like a classic "Win all game but lose in final minutes" Ravens game we've come to know and love.

Uggghhhh

Jimmy smith is doing fine...he needs his line to help him.

No pressure...ugghh

I would like to see them at least collapse the pocket a bit more...when tyrod gets time its like he has a steel wall In front of him.

Just not seeing anything special about this defensive line these last two years. And I'm talking Jernigan and Williams...

I can't remember being this irked by the Ravens and NFL in general in a while.. This whole Tunsil situation that transpired over the last couple days doesn't sit well with me. For 3 days out of the year...the NFL and all its owners and organizations get to put on this moral/ethical/integrity crown and thumb their noses at these young 19,20, 21 year olds and say you have red flags..or character concerns.. CHARACTER CONCERNS?! the NFL?!? There's character concerns from the top of this league (Goddell) down to the equipment boys who put air in the ball. So your scared this 21 year old smokes weed....guess what??? Half your locker room is probably watching the draft with a big fat blunt in their hand. Now we get to hear the whole idea of " Stanley was always up there" " we graded him just as high as" STOP. No you didn't . u didn't want to draft Tunsil BC of the attention you'd get. But as fans I want the BEST player possible, not a plan B BC my team is afraid to draft a player. Every draft 20 players get hit with these red flags and character concerns and a good portion of them you never hear a peep out of during their playing years. The Ravens have stuck by some good players through the years that did some dumb things...Is it different BC their on the team...their pro bowlers...their top tier players... Give these kids a chance. Try having ethical morality with the players in your locker room and the coaches and owners in the league already before you let a great player pass because he smokes weed.

Sooooooo Tunsil's injuries and not playing in a pro style offense just came to light right before the draft?

Ex-Raven says Ravens should have drafted Tunsil http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/baltimore-sports-blog/bal-ex-raven-wally-williams-says-team-should-have-drafted-laremy-tunsil-20160505-story.html

Sure you can regret something like passing on Tunsil if you were highly coveting him before the draft...and then let something as minute as a weed video and public perception stop you from drafting him. On the night of the draft it seemed like whatever team picked him was in for a year of bad press and publicity and were gonna be made the laughing stock of the league...fast forward to the end of the draft weekend and the sports world was on to the next story.

Another great article that highlights much of what I was saying in here... http://baltimoresportsandlife.com/ravens-really-passed-tunsil-bong-video-made-mistake/

Article was just posted on bleacher report saying that general sentiment has turned as teams were disappointed in Tunsil and now admire him after what was done to him and how he handled it...article also states teams are regretting on passing on him. http://m.bleacherreport.com/articles/2638877-mike-freemans-10-point-stance-post-tunsil-panic-throughout-the-nfl

1.Tunsil was the best Tackle in the draft according to College EXPERTS that I had seen describe the competition field. 2. It wasn't until closer to the draft that I started hearing rumblings Stanley might be getting viewed at as an equal. BUT still, the college EXPERTS were still saying Tunsil was best. 3. The trades up top happen and now you start to hear Tunsil could go 3 or 6. Stanley is still projected as top 12..some believe maybe he can slide in top 7 or 8 if things play out right. Also the incident with his step father is not new at this point. 4. Enter draft night..pictures surface... Reports are going wild that teams are either taking him off their boards completely or not willing to spend a high pick on him. ( this is my first issue) 5.Balt picks Stanley....OK so I'm blah on the pick ..but mainly because I'm not sure if its A. Because of Tunsil ordeal or B. Because they just like Stanley better. 6. Then you see titans do the same thing...they have even less of an excuse to pass on Tunsil...Conklin though good was widely regarded as the #3 tackle in the draft...so you definitely know the weed affected at least 1 team maybe two. And no I don't care what GMs and coaches say after the pick..they all cover their butts ..if in fact they did want tunsil their not gonna come out and say it. Hell we basically caught Jerry Jones in a lie when he said he talked to us and we let him know we were taking Zeke. We wanted Ramsey. If this is about Tunsil being injured alot ...I can live with that.. If this is about Stanley TRULY being rated higher I can live with that as well... But If this is ...we didnt draft him BC he has a lot of some character concerns ..I can't live with that..

Soooo.... Much like Ray Rice...the video is the thing that pushes the whole smoking incident over the top..because at face value..minus the tape...we have a 19 year old smoking weed. That would've been fine if not for the video right? And he took money from a coach for his moms light bill...horrible. How many teams passed up on Cam Newton for that same thing...better question how little do you think the Panthers now care about that ?? And he was a victim..I highly believe that he's either in SD or Baltimore right now had his ex financial advisor or whoever it was didn't sabotage him.. And your absolutely right I don't feel bad for him in the long run..he's a millionaire living in Miami...but he was kinda vilified that night.

Yea I typically just go to tune in and listen to 105.7 the fan.

"pulls this" what exactly did he pull if you don't mind me asking?

Pretty sure the Dolphins stated that Tunsil was the best player in the draft and they were filled with excitement when he slid to them....but yea I guess #8 prospect sounds a lot better.

Lol only on this board......during this discussion.... is Tunsil now overrated...he was number 1 on almost 50 different mock drafts for 3 months... But because Ozzie and them passed on him..he was now magically not even top 15 on the Ravens boards. LMAOOOO...guys please take the purple shades off... My fault I should have known better than make this topic on this board. People who go against the Raven way on this board are treated like the Antichrist. Who knows maybe the Ravens will bring Will hill back and let him fail his 12th drug test. Oh that's right..it was a low money deal..so the character concerns don't really mean as much... Or maybe Suggs can pour bleach over his girlfriend again and the Ravens will cut him...oh Nvm..he's the face of the team... Let's keep picking on the 20 year olds and tell them they messed up too much to be on our team

I actually like Stanley...I just like Tunsil better. Almost 90% of the College experts had Tunsil being the best tackle leading up to the draft with a substantial but not large gap between him and Stanley. And u said Stanley is a bull during Run block.. But everything I've seen said that's the weakest aspect to his game. On the tape I've watched Tunsil was a bit more fierce and NFL ready. Like I said I'm happy with Stanley. But you guys are letting them sell you a clear number 2 as 1B. I want number 1. I'm willing to accept this if it was based on his injury history. That scared me as well..but all accounts state this was due to character concerns.

Lol seriously

Lol u brought up Will Hill and proved my point perfectly..... quick question, why did the Ravens give him an opportunity in Baltimore? Yea exactly.

Ugh

we weren't going for Zeke. this is Jerry Jones trying to save face because he knows he blew a great opportunity to get an extra pick AND still get the player he wanted.
