JoeyFlex5

ya know... i see his sack numbers, and his TFL's and watched a bit of film on him... idk if im going crazy or not, but it appears that he is an ILB on tape.. why am i seeing him listed as an OLB? i looked into calhoun and i wasnt overly impressed, he seems to be the last one off the snap quite often, snap anticipation is a huge thing for me and i love floyds anticipation, and his burst compliments that anticipation very well, calhoun is definitely solid, i see him as more the pro ready guy and floyd having a higher ceiling

you know what you did... YOU KNOW!

robert quinn is one lol just saying that cuz im getting heat for taking him there, oh well. by the way, i hate you.

ben in 08 was the single most incredible qb performance ive ever seen and i maintain that to this day, his sb run was the most frustrating, irritating, infuriating, and damned impressive thing ive ever seen(the first 3 because im a ravens fan) and i actually would rank his sb run that year above joes sb run. and even in 2015 id still take ben over ryan without question, he has the it factor that ryan has seemed to lack so far, and ben also has had dumpster fires for an OL for most of his career and his wr corps havent been half of what ryans have been.

i almost negged that lmao

these puns are phenomenal

on the topic of brees, ill be honest, he did not even cross my mind. i felt pretty stupid after seeing him go like 2 picks later, im still ok with my quinn pick though, you win in the trenches, defense wins championships, and pass rush is vital. im old school mayne

well if he went 17th after the season he had then there must have been some huge reaches, kinda like im seeing now. some folks looking to just take whatever qb is there rather than get the true value

sorry man but hey, i got robbed of joe by allblackraven 1 spot before me so i panicked. if you wouldnt mind, id like to see that list, and jj watt is unavailable in this scenario.

i had my reservations about waller, and in the pre-draft process i wasnt a big fan because he appeared stiff in his film, but that little snap preview in that video... looks like i misjudged, this dude really does move well for his size, we could have ourselves a steal if he can move like that with the pads on and if he can grasp the learning curve

lot of hate for my robert quinn pick, is he not simply one of the overall best defenders in the entire league at possibly the most valued position on defense? surprised by the negs on that

with the 8th pick of the draft a franchise draft, the Joe Flex Zone selects, Robert Quinn, DE.

i agree 100%, but more importantly id rather have someone who doesnt give up 3 touchdowns to begin with lol

people keep pointing out his confidence, idk though, he seems to play with a swagger that would suggest hes been good, he could give up 3 consecutive touchdowns and then make a nice tackle on the next snap and he would be fired up and flexing for the crowd thats booing him. i supported elam for 2 straight years but its just too hard to support him anymore, ill still hold out some blind faith, but i dont think its confidence, i think its just mental, he absolutely cannot seem to even come close to the learning curve, he has horrible tackling technique, he stutter steps before the hit and he hits way too high, doesnt wrap up, bad angle, bad discipline, he has good ball instincts and i appreciate that in the most desperate of moments he has a knack for going after the ball and he succeeds at that more than his overall performance would suggest, but he also fails in the most routine of "catch, tackle, get off the field" situations so often that he is nothing more than a HUGE liability on the field. i cant help but think how good a wr feels when hes got the ball in his hands and he sees that #26 as the last thing between him and the endzone, when elam's on the field he will be the offenses focus, get a YAC guy in the open field against elam, any offense that can succeed at that, will succeed on the scoreboard.

fowler being a former gator, probly makes it hurt just that much more jags fans. i hate seeing stuff like this happen.

camp is an excellent punt return option with his ball security, awareness, and quickness, but on kick returns im not sure about his top end speed. touchbacks all year?

"Marlon Brown came on strong _______________ and figures to have a larger role." boy if i had a nickel for every time ive heard that and it failed.

for tenacious faulker, this post pretty much summed up my thoughts. 3 aging possession receivers, an old as dirt TE, pitta long before he blossomed, dickson had always been stone hands, and stallworth was never worth a thing on any team, especially ours. all this on an offense that is based almost purely on winning 1on1 matchups vertically and catching comeback's(which wont succeed very much if you have no speed to threaten with) it was the safest offense we ever had, but it had so many shortcomings. our 2012 offense was lightyears ahead of 2010

avoiding injury bugs, this team is SB or bust, sure we have alot of rookies to depend on for a well rounded team, but i dont see a single rookie that should have a very difficult learning curve, perriman, williams, davis, and maybe allen(not sure about his patience in a zone stretch) are all natural system fits, they all have very good position coaches, and i just think they will all have solid rookie seasons. if our secondary finally stays healthy, and if we can avoid IR'ing 4+ players from a single position group then i think we are in legit contention for a SB. if monroe plays up to his contract, wagner shows minimal lingering effects from the injury, and if our secondary can come back and our starters can at least play to 80% of their capabilities without getting hurt, then i dont see how we arent one of the most dominant teams in the league. i am concerned with the pass rush though, i think we'll be top 10 in sacks, but nothing like last year. and if sizzle and doom both get hammered by father time in the same season, we could be in big trouble and we would be depending on whatever 3 down linemen are on the field to generate the pass rush, we have no depth to bring pass rush from exterior so if the starters arent bringing it, nobody is.

i would like to see waller make the active 53 pretty consistently this year. perriman, sss, camp, aiken, brown, and waller. like ive said before waller has his concerns about his agility and his breaks, but he is a whole tier above the majority of late round project H/W/S wr's due to his ability to actually turn and position himself, box out, climb the ladder, high point, and catch the ball with his hands, that is an ability that cant be coached, you either have it or you dont, and waller has it, and every other late round project wr who is 6'5" or taller seems to seriously lack that ability. waller has potential to be a bonafide #2 or 3, and there is no better way to develop him than to let him get the reps where we think he could be beneficial, if he can grasp the playbook i think he should see lots of time on run formations since he will be an elite blocker up the sidelines, and this would allow for some nice PA plays, and i think he should get a solid number of redzone snaps, but as i said only if he is putting in the work required and he understands the playbook. a year or 2 of letting him split time as a 3rd and 4th option situational guy will be enough to really get him the reps he needs to develop, and he is a guy that i could actually see becoming a legit wr, not many db's in this league can handle his post skills.

as everyone else said, too much distraction. plus i feel like the team may have lost some of that entertainment factor, i mean we had ray as a youngin, shannon sharpe, goose, mccrary, and billick when he was still his flamboyant aggressive self, that team had some real characters that made for great entertainment, and our team overall lacked the discipline and class that it has now, it just wouldnt have that same jazz from '01, the ravens seem like more of a brotherhood than any team in the league but it is strictly business at all times, except for team photos lol

did he sign a 1 day contract? or has he not filed yet and is waiting for the 1 day contract or something?

i also think davis was the best pick of the draft, i had him somewhere in the top 10 of the 2nd round, thats somewhere before the 44th pick, we got him at 90, and he is such an incredibly perfect scheme fit, he has ridiculous size, he carries it well, i mean he can really for being such a mountain of a man, he can get in the backfield on pass plays and he can eat space in the run, he can penetrate, or he can just push the guy in front of him all the way back, he is just so freakishly strong and a surprising athlete. hes also playing with a major chip on his shoulder, the fire in his voice on that conference call is something you will NEVER hear from a rookie. he is going to dominate and i can feel it. i already want his jersey
