    https://www.yahoo.com/sports/news/arrested-eagles-wr-josh-huff-believes-everyone-in-the-nfl-has-a-gun-145103886.html

    “I’m a professional athlete. What professional athlete don’t have a gun?” Huff said, according to Philly.com. “I have a wife and I have a son at home, and my job is to protect them at all costs. My job is to protect myself as well.”

    Gun and weeds don't go hand to hand; he needs to get a gun in a legal way first.

    Huff was charged for unlawful possession of a weapon and for having hollow point bullets, marijuana possession, a DUI, speeding and obstructed view for tinted windows, CSN Philly said.

    He belongs to the gang instead of NFL....

    Big Ben's return could be rocky ride

    Perhaps the Ravens shouldn't care if Ben Roethlisberger starts this week. Per ESPN Stats & Info, Big Ben's effectiveness has dropped severely in his first game back from injury throughout his career.

    For the stat geeks out there, here's some positive news, assuming Ben plays.

    The facts are how many time our defense got smoked by nobody QB or some sorry butt back up QB? numbers of times

    But we are always competitive against big name QB.

    If anyone ever follow football and watch the Vikings 2 game losing streaks after their 5-0 start, you know what happened to their quickly collapse on both offense and defense?

     

    The O-LINE!!

     

    As soon as their OT starters going down, their team going down.  When their offense couldn't move the ball, their defense got exposed and beat.

     

    Joe just came off from ACL/MCL knee surgery and had to deal with losing both of his starred OT tackles, Stanley and Yanda; is it logical to say that it's normal to perform with that much of adversities? 

     

    Excuse or not; be reasonable and look around the league and ask one question for yourself; who would perform better if they are in Joe's shoes?

     

    Even Aaron Rodgers would ask his O-line to give him couple seconds more to complete the pass.  There's no doubt Rodgers move better and read the defense better cuz he is healthy without any major surgery in the past.

     

    No Joe's hommie or fan favor, but look at the facts that how many would succeed in the broken O-Line when they just came back from ACL/MCL surgery?

    Good post

    Not coaching up young talented WRs is catching up to Joe Flacco. He is not benefiting from years of chemistry. Same can be said for the OC. For all of Harbaugh's accolades he is not an offensive guru. So it is natural that there is going to be multiple OC's to find a really good one. Then it is natural a really good OC is going to take a coaching job elsewhere.

    The OL and offense is way out of whack. And so is Joe Flacco. Joe is rattled from the hits. It throws his timing and mechanics out of whack. Flacco hears footsteps from his previous drop backs and hits. The run game works sometimes. When it is on there is zero confidence to keep the run game working. And Flacco and his WRs due to the pressure, fails to get his piece of the machine working before the run game begins to get stuffed. The OL allows no timing and rythym for Flacco and his WR's. Thus all the short dumpoff tosses.

     Many fans have cited the cut block as the reason many offenses are struggling at times. And I think those people are correct. As matter of fact, fans do not realize how much it is hurting Offenses, QBs, WR's,timing,rythym and the OL.  Offensive lineman with average talent get it done by keeping the DL off balance and guessing. Which effects the DL rythym and aggression when he has to anticipate a cut block. The smarter lineman even when missing the talent element consistently makes effective blocks through technique and mixing up his block techniques. The cut block is the biggest weapon for many technicians and all blockers really. I think it was Kevin Mawae that said in an interview the cut block extended his career beyond his dominant playing days. The cut block is that effective.  From Rushing the QB or trying to fight through a block to get the RB. To slowing down an explosive defensive players pursuit or explosive jump off the line. The cut block was a necessary Weapon for many blockers success. With all the rule changes favoring the offense. Eliminating the low cut block has leveled the scale a little. Many lineman are struggling and the offense with them. 

    Joe Flacco when given a clean comfortable pocket and allowed to scan through his weapons throws a beautiful pinpoint accurate football. As good as there is in the NFL. When his OL dominates he is as good as any QB in the NFL. No QB is as dependent on his OL as Joe Flacco. And that is not a bad thing. When his OL struggles he can play below average. When his OL dominates he is as good as Roethlisberger. (See 2012 playoffs)The way it looks I think is the only difference between Flacco and the top 5 QBs is their skills in going through progressions at warp speed. Flacco needs his time to go through his progressions and anticipate the longer intermediate and long throws. Especially when throwing over the middle with so much going on. When given time in a clean pocket Joe can make pinpoint accurate tight spiral throws with his eyes shut. 

    Forget stats. Just use your instincts and the eye test. Do you see Joe lighting up the scoreboard with a dominant OL and run game? In an offense that effectively mixes run and throw. Even with good WRs that run effective routes as opposed to the freaks like Green. If ravens rebuild their OL, it is conceivable that next year everybody laughs about this year Joe is having. While he is one of the most prolific QBs in the NFL. And ravens offense as good as any as there is in the NFL. 

    With the cut block eliminated, talented Offensive lineman will be at a premium. Blockers with average size and talent will have a harder time being successful. I think let's out think the league while fixing the OL, protecting the investment in Flacco and helping Joe and the offense light up scoreboards. I think the OL should be the focus in the draft and FA. Our rivals will begin to figure out the need for more size and skill on the OL with the cut block eliminated. Their salary will escalate while a bigger premium is laid on them in the draft. Because traditionally adequate blockers will begin to struggle with a big part of their repertoire 86'ed. I know some will say I'm making excuses for Flacco. But many offenses are struggling. Look at Jacksonville. A mostly adequate line that is now struggling. And it's QB and best WR with it. I think even his biggest critics acknowledge to themselves Joe can be as good as any QB when his OL dominates.

    Did anyone notice how bad the Vikings OL was last night. Bradford couldn't get anything going. OL injuries have derailed them the last two weeks & even the best D can't make up for that.

    Oh, and how's that Jake Long fellow doing at LT? LOL

    Some couldn't see that and blame on one "Man"...../shrug...

    Apparently he wanted Von Miller type money but even then why not ride him out into the playoffs and get a comp pick when someone over pays him. Very weird trade tbh. Browns better sign him in the offseason.

    the Browns gonna be 0-16 and will get 1st overall pick so a 3rd round pick of the Browns is like a late 2nd round pick; I think it is very good deal......
