ALSKAN RAVEN FAN

Its stories like this that should get reported on. Way too many times these stories are put on the back burner and the stories of players making mistakes are what get front page postings. Jacoby Jones is a class act and we would probably not have a second title if he never became a Raven. and as for Coby R. keep fighting man!!!! GO RAVENS.

Wallace showed he can run more routes than just going long. Wallace went over the middle of the field and caught short to mid range passes through out the season. I want Wallace to stay. I dont believe Wallace is a true #1 WR bur he is a very viable #2 WR and Perriman can keep growing into a viable #3 WR . Oz and Decosta need to find the Ravens a true #1 WR that can compliment Wallace and Perriman.

Camp can make plays and has made plays but he is very injury prone.

I agree with you that we will probably get a WR in free agency that seems to work for Oz I also like your thoughts about the O-line plan you and I both know next few months are fun to watch and see how Oz and his staff work these things out. But every draft I always hope for players who play in the trenches to be drafted.

Games are won and lost in the trenches PERIOD!!! If your team blocks great and pushes the d-line around you can basically run the ball at will and pass the ball at will. Same goes with the D-line if you are constantly blowing up the O-line your stuffing the run and putting extra pressure on the QB so I would say up- grade the O-line and D-line every chance you get through the draft and build strong trenches. Joe now needs a sure handed #1 WR to help him out I think offensively O-line and WR are the needs but defensively CB,ILB and OLB/DE are needed. I do think that Wallace and Perriman can be a legitimate #2 and #3 WR in this league. As of right now we dont have a true #1 WR on the roster.

We need vocal leaders on both sides of the ball and I am not just talking about guys who just talk but guys who talk and back it up with their play, practice and film study. SSS retired and he was the only noticeable vocal leader on offense. Suggs is getting towards the sun setting on his career those 2 guys were probably the most vocal leaders who backed it up on Sundays. Weddle was vocal in his first year and he was a leader who made plays on the field. But right now on the roster there are only 2 guys going into next season who are vocal and back it up by their play and that's Suggs and Weddle. We need guys who are going to call each other out when someone is not playing to their full potential and guys who can go out and cause something to happen when we need something to happen. Notice both vocal guys are on defense with SSS gone now we need guys who will call the offense out and make plays on offense at key times in the games and get the team fired up. Everyone remembers R.Lewis and "ANY DOGS IN THE HOUSE" chant guys were fired up before the game even started and at that time we also had E.Reed and Sizzle and S.Sharpe guys who could get the whole team excited.

Ravens need to get their rears in gear to catch the Patriots. I dont care about the rest of the AFC teams.

Very true @Tru11

I am a big Flacco fan PERIOD!!! That said this year he has to improve but Oz and Harbs have to get him guys who can make plays at the right time.

NO!!!!!!! Target a first round DB, OL, DE/OLB Dixon and West have proven that they can be Starters at the NFL level.

I dont like the Patriots but the Steelers I just HATE!!! EDIT: I want an NFC team to win the Super Bowl but this week I am pulling for Brady and the Patriots. Atlanta is my first choice Green Bay my second and Patriots my third FOR THE SUPER BOWL WIN!!!

I hope its an open competition.

sweet Thanks for the info @TheConquerorWorm

Does anyone know if this is going to be considered a home or away game?

Good point I personally like around the 7-9 week bye so guys can get healthy and get ready for the 2nd half of the season.

I would love the pick of Peppers to the Ravens but as of right now no one knows who is going where but if Peppers fell to the Ravens then I say great!!!

Whelp Oz and Harbs need to figure out who of our free agents they want to keep and extend the best top offer the team is willing to pay for them and let them know that it is the best offer they will receive from the Ravens there is NO NEGOTIATING THE OFFER. The reason I say this is with the newer free agency rules on when teams can start negotiating contracts we have seen it happen all over the league players having offers from other teams on the table and at the very second free agency begins they are signing with a new team. With the final and best offer on the table for the guys they really want to keep they just might have a chance to keep one or two of their own guys. That being said I am only saying do this with the players you definitely want back not every free agent player on the roster. For this to work they would have to extend their max amount of a contract and that's still no guarantee that we get our guy back but at least the player knows where he stands and just might take a little less to stay on the Ravens roster.

I would like to see them draft a young developmental guy of the future

Got to address the secondary both safety and CB starters and depth. Got to get guys on the O-line starting with the center and depth across the whole line. Got to get serious pass rushers who can get after the QB and try to get D-line guys up front who can get pressure on QB's with out the blitz. Got to get a true #1 WR

I really hope they can get their heads on straight and figure out how to proceed with free agents, the draft and replacing one of my most favorite players in SSS. They have to shore up the O-line get a real #1 WR and get a safety to really compliment Weddle and some serious depth and competition at CB so we can acctually have the very best 2 guys starting at CB.

hopefully the O-line benefits from this.

Praying for his family R.I.P.

I guess this is just the way things are. I wish we could draft a Julio Jones or SSS of our own and develope him. I just don't know if the Ravens scouts know what to look for at the WR position because they sure have not earned their money drafting WR's. They sure don't seem to hit on it with all the WR's they have drafted in the past none of them seem to be better than a legitimate #2 guy most of them are questionable #3 or #4 WR's in the league and would not even make some NFL teams practice squads.

I was hoping he would stay. Best of luck and wishes to him unless he is playing the Ravens.
