  1. just wrote up a full mock draft and didnt even post it because i feel like ive posted too many of them already. the draft is just too far away.

      Just under a month to go!

      thats too far lmao

  2. My apologies Mr. Castillo.

    JoeyFlex5 replied to a topic in Ravens Talk

    i never wanted castillo gone, i just wanted some of his sideline authority stripped. jim caldwell is simply not a very good OC and he needs big time weapons to make his system work, castillo and caldwell simply failed as a duo of coordinators and it was a bad idea to begin with. i dont think anyone should have EVER questioned his credentials as a teacher of the game, he is one of the greatest teachers the game has ever seen and he can turn the most raw of Olinemen into starting talents within 1 season of coaching.

  3. i am convinced dorsett is the best wr option for this team. a trade up for him in the 2nd would be worth it even if we had to give up our 3rd for it.

      we'd be losing even more value by losing a 3rd rounder

      if it means getting dorsett then i dont think were losing value at all. like i said i think getting dorsett in the early 2nd will have a much better impact than whoever we would get in the 2nd+3rd. wr needs to be addressed in the draft more than any other position and it isnt even close, we wont have a shot at doing that by picking at the tail end of every round, and after the mid 2nd the talent gets thin at wr, while there is good depth at many other positions such as cb and dl.

      my first time commenting on this site. im from ontario canada and have been in love with the baltimore ravens since 2000. my take o this years draft is sliding out of the first round and getting an early second round pick to acquire phillip dorset and double up later at wr with someone like darren waller.i think this kid would be a tremendous asset in the red zone. also draft a cb with our original 2nd round pick. love tevin coleman rb too. if we can get these guys i would do it.

  4. 2014 Playoff game - Patriots Ineligible Receiver Shenanigans

    JoeyFlex5 replied to The Mom Gene's topic in Ravens Talk

    its not stupid logic, its always been illegal, they just outsmarted the refs because there was no specific rule deeming this illegal, leaving the refs confused, even though these tactics broke the rules which generally outline deception and trickery. its a broad rule and it is there to keep the games fair, the general rule is "do not use blatant deception", otherwise no team in the league would just line up and play ball, there would be bendings of the rule book in every game and the refs would be scratching their heads wondering whether or not they should throw the flag. next thing you know there wouldnt be enough paper in the world to write the entire nfl rule book. not to mention they declared an eligible and an ineligible, a timeout was called and they lined back up without re-announcing their eligbilities, which means the TE who lined up at the tackle position was an ineligible receiver and he still ran a route. THAT specifically is illegal, and has rules on it in the book, thats 5 yard illegal formation but the refs were so baffled by what they were witnessing they didnt know how to respond, but its the patriots so they figure its best to let them get away with it.

    JoeyFlex5 replied to The Mom Gene's topic in Ravens Talk

    they probably had it up their sleeves until the browns tried it and the rules committee announced that it was illegal lol

  6. Would you like to see a Ravens throwback jersey?

    JoeyFlex5 replied to HockeyAndRavens's topic in Ravens Talk

    bucs creamsicle uni's are incredible.. i seriously dont understand all the hate they get. and it would be fun to see the 96 uni's in action once a year. would like to see them do it in 2016 as a 20 year anniversary thing

  7. Arthur Brown at OLB? (speculation)

    JoeyFlex5 replied to CalvinSmoke's topic in Ravens Talk

    i think so too. next year he will make the active roster and step in on occasion and show great promise, while daryl smith regresses, the following year cj and brown are full time starters and daryl smith is released right before the start of free agency, arthur brown comes in and plays navarro bowman to mosleys patrick willis, arthur brown goes to cleveland making 10mil per year and then gets swallowed by the ravens o-line twice a year

  8. Arthur Brown at OLB? (speculation)

    JoeyFlex5 replied to CalvinSmoke's topic in Ravens Talk

    this. it would have taken a hell of a camp performance for a youngin like brown to take that job. daryl wasnt losing that job to anyone because cj was the all star but daryl smith called the shots, the coaches didnt feel comfortable having a rookie spearheading the defense by calling out pre snap adjustments etc. i think there are 2 scenarios, either brown is just not looking good in practice, or they are just prepping him and keeping him healthy for the day they can unleash him on the world next to mosley when they are comfortable with him running the D on his own.

  9. 2014 Playoff game - Patriots Ineligible Receiver Shenanigans

    JoeyFlex5 replied to The Mom Gene's topic in Ravens Talk

    i know but the patriots view on this is: "nowhere in the rule book does it specifically say that we can declare our rb ineligible and let our tight end up line up at left tackle and run a route as long as he declares eligible, so therefore it isnt against the rules" and that legitimately is their attitude on the situation, it is pathetic and borderline childish how they respond to the criticism about it, they were wrong and they know it, if they dig deep enough into the rulebook to find this, then they know its illegal but 1 of 2 things will happen: they outsmart the refs and get away with it, or they get a 5yard penalty and dont try it anymore.

  10. 2014 Playoff game - Patriots Ineligible Receiver Shenanigans

    JoeyFlex5 replied to The Mom Gene's topic in Ravens Talk

    yes because theyre the only ones low down dirty, and desperate enough to do something like that. dont kid yourself, it is deception and trickery, there is no specific rule defining it because it is a ridiculous scenario that the rulemakers couldnt have thought of on their own.

      Waste of potential. Its things like this that prove he wasn't as committed as he should of been.

  12. Ravens Signings and Re-signings (actual and speculation)

    JoeyFlex5 replied to Moderator 3's topic in Ravens Talk

    i know what ur saying its just a pattern i have seen the past 2 offseasons and i would hate to see our DL get an injury bug and become "that group" that is a liability due to a lack of depth, that holds back an otherwise amazing team.

  13. Ravens Signings and Re-signings (actual and speculation)

    JoeyFlex5 replied to Moderator 3's topic in Ravens Talk

    it just makes me think that ozzie is settling and expecting urban to recover and be the starter, and we have very little depth if that is the case. it happened with our OL 2 years ago when he settled for gino, it happened this year when he expected chykie and ajax to be competent depth, now both years those positions were hammered by injuries but i dont want this to be a trend, where we settle at one position and be only 1 injury away from it being a huge liability. the DL being a liability is unacceptable for a team that historically dominates in the trenches and wins with the defensive front seven.

  14. Ravens sign S Kendrick Lewis

    JoeyFlex5 replied to rmw10's topic in Ravens Talk

    yes and thats what i was hoping we could have had with elam and brooks, but elam didnt pan out at his natural position of SS let alone show versatility to play free, and brooks was solid as a nickel corner and struggled everywhere else, and then got injured. i think kendrick lewis on his own is an average safety, but if you can pair him with another versatile weapon like hill then suddenly they feed off eachother and both become much better

    JoeyFlex5 replied to Moderator 3's topic in Ravens Talk

    bilukidi barely ever stepped on the field for us and we gave him the money instead of lawrence guy, is what it seems like. unwise move.

  16. Ravens Signings and Re-signings (actual and speculation)

    JoeyFlex5 replied to Moderator 3's topic in Ravens Talk

    well i dont think hes gonna be commanding any kind of fat contract. if thats the case then thats unfortunate because he certainly isnt worth more than a 2m/year type of deal, at least not at this point. but i didnt think he was asking for big money

  17. Ravens sign S Kendrick Lewis

    JoeyFlex5 replied to rmw10's topic in Ravens Talk

    where is this common idea coming from that will hill is purely a FS? he is versatile and plays both spots, but on the giants they had a stud SS in antrel rolle, and the ravens have nothing at FS forcing him to play there, but safety was a revolving door for us and hill showed that he is a decent FS but a dominant SS, one of the best in the league. most FS's dont play man up on feature TE's and attack the slot and the flats, that is where will hill showed absolute dominance. kendrick lewis on the other hand is a natural FS who can play some good run support. if lewis is the starter day 1, he will be FS and hill will be the SS. if anything it gives us a reliable presence and ballhawking potential at FS and most importantly it gives us stability to allow our other players to step into their best roles.

  18. Ravens Signings and Re-signings (actual and speculation)

    JoeyFlex5 replied to Moderator 3's topic in Ravens Talk

    i think he was underrated, were losing alot of potential if he walks. when he was on the field he was disruptive, and he was tough, when he stepped into the lineup he was so consistently around the ball, every backfield pileup that happened when he was on the field was either caused by him or he was right there to clean up. i see him as one of those guys that comes to the ravens as a very under the radar signing, and quietly becomes a very good starter, we do it with low draft picks on the DL all the time, if we can keep him around i really can see him becoming better for us than what arthur jones was. he could be a dominant run defender for us and i dont think tyson or urban could bring what he brought, they are more suited for getting to the qb, lawrence guy is an excellent space eater and a good anchor for stopping the run

  19. Ravens Signings and Re-signings (actual and speculation)

    JoeyFlex5 replied to Moderator 3's topic in Ravens Talk

    NOOOOONONONO this is bad. we are making a GIANT mistake letting guy walk. he is a stud in the rotation and i fully believe he can be a serviceable starter if needed. if we let him walk then i will start feeling kinda down about this offseason

    JoeyFlex5 replied to Moderator 3's topic in Ravens Talk

    well you would be wrong for the most part, although there is a slight gray area there. but this is not the place for it so i wont argue.

  21. Ravens Signings and Re-signings (actual and speculation)

    JoeyFlex5 replied to Moderator 3's topic in Ravens Talk

    ive seen it fail repeatedly for 20+ people in the past 5 years alone. you cant force someone to do what they dont wanna do. if justin wants to be a pothead then hes gonna do it and no amount of rehab is gonna help.

    JoeyFlex5 replied to Moderator 3's topic in Ravens Talk

    i was referring more to blackmon i havent followed lyerla not even a little. i think its pretty clear blackmon doesnt have an addiction but rather mental health concerns. it seems his brain stopped progressing in his later teen years. i have been raised around these people and i have seen more of these kinds of people than most, hell i was one of them until one day a switch flipped and i decided it was time to grow up. marijuana is not addictive, plain and simple, the closest thing to a marijuana addiction is people feeling that it keeps their head straight, some people have legitimate mental issues that marijuana is simply the perfect cure for, some people on the other hand are just immature and dont want to give it up, rehab wont fix either of these things. if blackmon has these mental issues, then he needs to just retire from the nfl and move out to colorado, if blackmon is just childish, he will continue to do these things until one day he just snaps out of it and realizes that he has an incredible gift that will carry him through life and that smoking a little reefer just isnt worth it. either way, people will do what they want to do, he needs to get his head on straight and grow up, rehab cant do that for him.

    marijuana use doesnt warrant rehab.. 9 times outta 10 it warrants maturity and nothing else.

  24. Free Agency Targets

    JoeyFlex5 replied to ravenz2752's topic in Ravens Talk

    i hadnt heard this but no big deal, when comparing him and housler its "proven commodity/big contract/injury concerns" vs "unproven TE with huge potential who has been on a sorry offense his whole career" housler doesnt have the stats to warrant a massive contract, at least not as big as what cameron was looking for, but like i said he has been on a bad offense, with inconsistent at best qb play, and he would be coming to an offense that historically loves their TE's and gets the most out of them, and has very good hands and great athletic ability, he brings alot of assets to our offense and wouldnt come at a huge price. our failure to address the TE position is the only thing that has me worried, with teams not being evidently interested in houselers services i think we could get him on the cheap, i think charles clay is a bit overrated as is chandler, theyre both solid but i dont think they would be worth a bidding war.

  25. Free Agency Targets

    JoeyFlex5 replied to ravenz2752's topic in Ravens Talk

    is there really any player in free agency, that has been a "must have" player? who also was asking for a respectable contract? stevie johnson? who cares. andre johnson? who cares. cecil shorts, REALLY... who cares. perrish cox? who cares. tramon williams? overpaid and who cares. chandler? who cares. vince wilfork? who cares. i dont understand why so many act like these are must-have players, like any of these players need to be pursued and signed at all costs, not a single player in free agency is anything close to that status, and all of them offer a minor upgrade, a unjustified cap number, and question marks. calm down folks, stop being so impatient. by the time the draft is over, everyone will either be praising ozzie once again, or they will be losing their minds even more because he had an incredible draft but didnt take a wr in the first round. there are 2 players i have seen in free agency that i think should be heavily pursued by us, that is housler and cameron, because TE is unlikely to be filled via the draft, everybody else on the market is really just "meh"
