  1. No because his agents had intimated all clubs that if Collins was selected after the 3rd round, he wouldn't sign.
  2. The Hall of Fame would mean nothing if a player like Ed Reed who in my view transcended NFL secondary play doesn't get in on the first ballot! It's really that simple.
  3. Most importantly Bio, these new UDFAs, drafted rookies and 2/3rd year players who didn't have the fortune of being around Ed Reed can now clearly claim they were on the same team at the same time! What if it were for only 1 day??
  4. What a man! And doggone funny too! That line had me rolling in laughter! Classic Ed Reed.
  5. That guy Chris Simms is the consummate panderer to the Steelers. In his heart even he knows Ed Reed is the greatest, but they want hits and support from the Steeler fans. I think that is all it really was. It is truly idiotic to even compare the two. Different planets in terms of talent. Totally different.
  6. Thank you Will Hill! Now try and prove that you are a capable replacement for the inimitable Ed Reed! Tall order but something to strive for being a Baltimore Raven!
  7. I can only hope that Brady is remembered for who he really is. A cheater who won games and not a winner with an asterisk. He is no different to me than a doper who gains an unfair advantage to win except what he did was worse. Why? Because a doper only affects the game in that he plays better than he would have otherwise. With what Brady did, he cheated other teams out of a victory by getting an advantage with under-inflated balls, helping his RBs not fumble as much and his TEs and WRs catch the ball a whole lot better! So in my book he is a worse sportsman than all the dopers put together.
  8. Once was more than enough. The time they did it is still the best ever. So why mess with the distraction?
  9. Ed Reed was to a defense what Peyton Manning has been to an offense, except better.
  10. We had the best draft of the lot and it is time we get to work on the next Lombardi.
  11. The one that is timeless in Baltimore - ED REED #20!
  12. As cool as that would be, since he didn't play last year, he may in fact be eligible in 2019 I think...
  13. One of the few playing geniuses that has graced the NFL since inception. The others were Barry Sanders and potentially Peyton Manning imo. He was as electric to watch on defense as Barry Sanders was on offense.
  14. I'm happy for Reed! Now he just has to wait for a well deserved yellow jacket!
  15. Does the computer program come up with these titles or is it you Ryan?? I think the title is a little confusing.
  16. What a sham! A disgrace to the real Joe Flacco. In my view he should be in the top 15 players of the NFL till he plays this game. In fact, I'll go this far with Flacco. There aren't more than 2 QBs I would live with other than Flacco and they are Rodgers and Luck. However, having said that it is only for the regular season. Come post season the only QB I would ever want is Joe Flacco. So in essence that makes him the best player in the NFL in my book!
  17. Why do I get the feeling that Trestman's calling was to be the offensive coordinator for the Baltimore Ravens? I truly believe he'll stay as our OC for a long time as will Dean Pees our DC! They are both bike lovers if I understand correctly! Cool stuff!
  18. Ed Reed is the greatest safety the NFL has ever seen period. You can argue that all day but you would lose that argument. Congratulations on your retirement Ed! If it were up to me, a statue wouldn't be out of order for your exploits!
  19. Correction - 4 SBs.
  20. These guys are such cheats and cry babies, especially Brady, I don't know how anybody can really respect that. They are shady operatives all the way from top down to Brady and that is just the way it has been. They break rules as and when they please till they are actually caught. They gain advantages from that and nobody is the wiser till they are found out. Once they are nailed, they move on to the next sleazy thing in Kraft and Belichick's bag of sleazy tricks. They are a tainted organization in my book period. The NFL isn't going to fine them because the release of this report and the ambiguity contained in it, didn't have to take 4 months to complete. Are you kidding me?
  21. Tray Walker has no illusions about when he is going to be ready. I like that he recognizes that. Such people typically end up working really hard and improving till one day we find out he can do it all! Go Ravens.
  22. Don't be worried, because the people that get canned for not worrying aren't. They are comfortable with our CB situation but I bet you they won't stop looking to better themselves at all positions. So, if some quality veteran became available at a discount, I wouldn't put it past Ozzie to sign him up!
  23. We won't stop till we have a team that is fully capable of hoisting the Lombardi trophy! That is the Ravens way!
  24. Oh wait till you see the other AFCN bloggers. They are far worse as homies! Actually Jamison Hensley is the only one that comes across as objective! Go figure...
  25. How can a fan not love the Baltimore Ravens? They just keep doing things that make you fall in love over and over again!
