as weve seen from this year, you can never have too many quality linemen

For real, although we pulled Ducasse off the scrap heap.

Since Joe Flacco was drafted the only WR we drafted in the first has been Perriman and he looks like he may be a good one.  Torrey did pretty well as a 2nd rounder as well.  

I agree we should draft another guard / center and but I feel another possibly WR and TE may be in order.

There have just been so many misses at WR in the past and if you asked about Perriman before this season most people would not have had much confidence. The fact he has stayed healthy is really good and if he can continue his arrow is pointed up.

Guard and center seem pretty important if not most important on offense for me. We need to backfill for eventual Zuttah leaving and Jensen\Urschel are backups at best. Unless we resign Wagner I see Lewis as RT in the future.

WR wouldn't surprise me but I don't think early unless someone falls. TE is quite backlogged with Pitta, Williams, Waller, and Boyle. Something will have to give here.

No need to take deep shots when the short game is working. You use the deep ball to keep defenses honest when they are successfully shutting down your short game or blitzing heavy. There was nothing overrated about yesterday's performance, we finally gave Joe good protection and he absolutely lit up the dolphins. He was money all day. We played like a SB caliber team.

I was at the game, it was definitely a fun time in section 150.

I say overrated because the dolphins never challenged. They played alot of zone and off coverage. I don't expect the Patriots to do that. I expect press man on Monday so someone is going to have to get off the line and beat it.

Timmy is definitely the more valuable and explosive player.  He is turning out to be a steal in the 2nd round.

His progression has been high.

Yeah and it's quite possible we trade up with comp picks tradeable now.  We should have a 3rd in this years draft.

Maybe, hard to say how the 2017 board is going to fall but most pundits see more overall talent on the defensive side. I don't think we need much on offense.

QB -set

RB- pretty much set

WR- We draft horribly at this position but nothing before the 4th round

TE- Unless we cut Pitta I think we are good here.

OL- Could see Guard and Center as spots to bulk up

i really do think it will be brandon williams or timmy jernigan who get the money... and i think timmy will get it

I think Timmy has a better chance of getting paid simply because we don't have anyone on the roster that is a natural fit to replace him. He's also a 3 down guy whereas Bwill comes out on most passing downs.

I agree, someone is going to pay BWill big money and I think that someone will end up being the Redskins.  BWill would solve a lot of there run d problems along that line.  He wouldn't cure it totally but it certainly would be a start.

i really don't want to lose him, but fear we will.  

You never keep everyone and we won't be able to afford market value since we are tight against the cap. To really do anything outside the draft we would need to shed some cap.

I think the ravens will make Bwill an offer but he'll get more money elsewhere. We have Pierce ready to step in with Willie in the pipeline. I also think we draft defense heavy this draft to get replacements ready for Suggs and Doom.

I don't care who we play, just get to the playoffs. A much better year than 5-11. If we do this year is a success regardless of how far we go.

We might be able to keep Wagner but Bwill is pretty much gone. Someone will be dumb enough to pay him big money. I think Pierce steps in and we draft a few dlineman. I'd like to see Guy and Aiken back and I think both won't cost much. The rest are just depth and shouldn't be to hard to retain if we want.

For some reason I'm rather optimistic about this game despite the opponent.

According to the weatherman we can expect snow on Monday. Hopefully that doesn't hurt us. I really think we have a better team.

That would actually help us since NE's offense is predicated mostly on short timing passes off cut type routes. Our running game is superior to theirs.

we have a secondary this time around. 

brady dunno nuthin bout dat.

Depends on the matchups. I would expect Jimmy to cover Bennett if they split him out wide. Powers\Wright are going to get somebody unless they bring webb into slot and Elam at FS. I almost like the latter more. I don't think powers\wright could keep up. 

Really hoping a desperate bills team mans up this sunday.

We need to bat 5000 passes down in this game. Brady won't be holding the ball long.

Tavon, no question

Ravens never make it easy on themselves..............

Had a couple good years but wrong side of 30 now.

Hope we are healthy for this game, gonna be a tough one. Offense needs to put up 20+ for any hope to win.

Good win but I think a little overrated. Our offense didn't really change for this game. It was still alot of the west coast short stuff that was turned into longer gains. Didn't see many passes travel over 15 yards in the air. The short passing game has been installed as an extension of the running game. The dolphins linebackers got exposed all game long. They adjusted a bit after halftime with a scoreless third quarter but we got to them in the 4th. Not going to be this easy in Foxborough.

The offensive line today was awesome, other than 2 stupid penalties on Ducasse they did great work. Joe was accurate as well except for the int which was a dumb decision.

We need to find another punt return guy. Hester gives us no hope of a td and simply looks timid.

Keep winning

Pittsburgh isn't winning out. They aren't the kind of team that is capable of winning 5 straight games.

Wouldn't call their schedule easy either... still have to play Giants and Bills, who are both .500 or better caliber teams. They've got a tough 3-4 game stretch coming up.

Didn't say it was easy, just easier than ours.

Giants could do us a real favor but their offense is just as mediocre as ours at times.

Anyone can get hot, remember 2012?

I really think this will be a break out for our run game! I'm hoping Dixon will break out with a long run TD. I really wish Alex Lewis was back already, anyone know when he's coming back? I thought he was doing pretty good for a 4th round pick rookie.

High ankle sprains are usually 6 weeks.

Line has been pretty good with yanda moving to left guard.

Of the ravens maybe but not the league

Really hoping the run game can bust out. I'd like to see a couple explosive plays from West and Dixon.
