The potential of defense seems to be immense ON PAPER. It is up to the players to apply their talents and the coaching staff to get the best out of the players. I think we'll be back and at worst a top 3 defensive team! Go Ravens!
Not in panic mode with plenty of offseason left. But I am ALWAYS worried about our offense. The real key will be Joe having complete confidence in his knee this year. And hopefully we field the right combination of OL to keep him upright. We'll go as far as Joe takes us....which could be to the top with a vicious defense and smart QB play.
I get so excited when I see those comparisons to our great defenses! I think they will live in the top 3 statistically once everyone has gelled and all falls into place. This can be a GREAT defense in a hurry. If we aren't going to have a great offense let's have that historically great defense we're renowned for in Baltimore!
Why would we trade any capital for a WR that has done nothing but consistenly prove he can't stay healthy??? (Watkins) We'll be right back in the same position with his injury and with less ammo to get another quality FA WR and/or draft one if we were to trade for him. I would rather give up a 3rd rounder or even a second depending on who for a good to great #1 guy. Dreaming I know..........

Jalen Robinette, Air Force WR (might not be allowed to play)
Jon Toth, Kentucky C
Devonte' Fields, Louisville OLB
William Likely, Maryland CB
Just a few interesting undrafted guys still available 👀
FYI 49ers signed Lorenzo Jerome....so upset..
Yeah unfortunately, the Air Force already announced they won't waive or delay Robinette's two year commitment for service. I hope he is allowed to play but both paths have been taken before (playing after that commitment). Either way, good luck to him.
No open practices, minimal access and shutting these boards down (shoutout to our fanmade boards now) seems contrary to connecting with the Ravens' fanbase. Maybe it's a case of taking 5 steps back to take 2 steps forward?
Ozzie alluded to the Ravens getting the medical info on Foster and Allen during the press conference which is why they went tumbling....so the front office knew there was risk there with them.
I was so certain we would take Reuben Foster with this pick. Of course they knew about the injury concerns so it makes sense we didn't. I was hoping he would fall into the second round though. I wanted a WR so bad. I hope we can find a gem late like other teams have done (good luck...I know I know). Either way, our secondary looks pretty damn good. Part of that 'chip formula is having a great secondary so we are on our way.

to these sites to read and try to get into discussion are always put down by the very FEW and SAME people that always dominate
and act as if their opinion is the only one that matters. If you disagree with them you get talked about and ridiculed as if
you didn't know a thing about football.... And lord forbid if you say one wrong thing about the Ravens. It is either you
just agree with everything and anything the same 5 or 6 people say that act as if they own the site or say nothing.
This was basically the same thing I read on another forum while back as well. They would say that the place
became a ghost town and wondered why. It was the same reason. A few know it alls that spoiled it for everyone else.
So it has nothing to do with advertising, more exposure, etc. ...it has to do with allowing the same very few people dominate
everything with their opinions get away with it and drive everyone else away. That is what happens to these sites. It is as if
these people have no life and have to voice their opinion on every single subject that comes up. And as stated always act as if
their opinion is the best and only one.
I used to sit in seats at Ravens stadium that were adjacent to a lone seat that wasn't owned by a PSL. The best thing
that happened was that a lot of times it usually sold on game day to an opposing fan. At first that seemed like a bad thing...
but eventually I learned that I got better insight and talk from someone with a different opinion about not only their team
but the Ravens as well because they weren't biased and gave opinions that were way different then a purple kool-aid
drinking Ravens fan. So eventually I hoped that the person buying the seat would be someone from the other team as I had
better conversation and friendly rivalry with them.
These sites block those kind of people. They only allow Ravens fans and set up so many rules about what you can say or
not say that after a while it sounds like a Leave It To Beaver TV Show. "Golly gee Wally the R avens are really neat" .. "Yeah,
I know Beave" ... But let Eddie Haskell show up and it all goes down hill and he is told to go home.....
Hopefully, someone opens a site where people can voice their opinions good or bad and stop the few no-it-alls that dominate
and ruin them.
Agree with this. Definitely the aspect about this place I won't miss. The "holier than thou" crowd, but I liked checking in on game day and enjoying wins together or commiserating when we lost. It was good to know I wasn't alone in my heartache those days. Been going on these boards for years so it will suck not being able to see the Flock.
It is Kyle not Justin.....
Way to take care of that 10 pt lead
Awesome hands aiken
What's a scramble drill??
There goes morningweg again

Agree on Peters. Was worried if we were to take him and he is feast or famine but he is out there playing!

Up until the last 2 seasons we were able to mask Joe's flaws with the run game. Now it's all on Joe's shoulders and he's showing that he can't handle it. For the money he makes he should be able to carry this team and make players around him better. And he's just not doing it.
All facts. Close thread. Mechanics question alone is enough to make the point.
The penalties are just ridiculous and reducing or stopping them should be at the top of any list unless its running the ball more 1st
Give us a coaching staff willing to run the ball, make actual in game adjustments, can manage the clock and timeouts, had an actual feel for the game and can motivate when necessary.
I love how they play their hardest and put it all into everything when it's already over and hopeless. When there was plenty of time the offense moved like poop slow. Defense couldn't tackle. Overhaul the whole team.
I honestly don't know how they do this.....all the smoke and mirror stats and can't even tackle and coaching staff can't manage the clock. Terrible.........unexcusable.
Moseley doing great things all night.
Again.....need a full overhaul.
