    Anyone want to join me in a puke party?

    @kaitlynross1: #Breaking: attorney Gloria Allred will hold a news conference in ATL about a NEW allegation of domestic violence in the NFL this afternoon

    There are a LOT of undocumented cases of domestic violence, on both men and women. I think most people know someone who's been in an abusive relationship, to some degree at least. It's always sickening. But the whole "crackdown on NFL players" isn't fair when there's a portion of the population who continues to attack their partners and cast judgment.

    it was stupid unsafe and illegal and he should be fined.......but it wasnt intentional so it wasnt dirty

    You think an NFL veteran receiver who works on footwork around the year just happened to forget not to step on people's faces? It was his intention not to be stopped on that play. He put his foot where it needed to be to do so. Intentional. Do you really need to keep fighting that? I'm not even calling it a big deal.

    your right he does kick his leg out because he started the hurdle far too early......he realizes he will come down awkward so he instinctively gets his feet under him(as is common practice) it just so happens the punter cringes right into his foot(not the punters fault either) it just looks bad

    Stop with your Suh explanations. It doesn't matter that he was trying to hurdle him. It doesn't matter what his "instinct" was. He wasn't a victim of circumstance. He chose to hurdle a player and chose to land on a player instead of bailing so he could get more yards. Simple as that. It's not a big deal, so I don't see a suspension, but he was guilty of a dirty play and will probably be fined.

    I'd put money on us signing one of those two players (Florence or Flowers). We have a spot for them, unlike Denver and New England, and we present a chance to win a Super Bowl over some other teams with a CB need. Plus this is our kind of move.

    Our secondary would be unstoppable with Flowers, but he is too expensive.

    I think that's an exaggeration for a team without a proven FS, but if Flowers could come in on 3 CB sets and push Webb inside, combined with the team revitalized speed and depth up front, we'd be very difficult to pass the ball against.

    Tyrod's most important job is to play the opposing QB in practice. Sometimes it calls for a QB with great arm strength or mobility. That's why Tyrod's around. 

    Plus we ALMOST beat the Bengals with him at QB. We could probably field a good rushing team with him as a wildcat QB, but not a good offense. He'd need McCown receivers to look good with his arm. Didn't do too bad last preseason though.

    Urschel (as much i like the guy as a person) is not going to beat even Gino.  John is probably the weakest guy in the whole lineman corp we have atm.  It also doesn't help he has no physical attribute nor the technique.  

     

    I think if anything, he can help other players understand and teach them the schemes while his learning our football offense.  Other than that, him being on the field is going to be incredibly hard.

    What are you basing this on? He did 30 reps of 225 at the combine. Only 7 O-linemen did better this year. Not that it directly translates to total strength. We also play a zone scheme which isn't so much strength-oriented - so why would it be incredibly hard for him to get on the field?

    We paid 120 million for a 19 TD, 22 INT quarterback.

     

    For comparison Tom Brady with no receivers early in the year threw 25 TD's and 11 INT. 

    Granting that Joe Flacco is not Tom Brady, he was still overvalued by Oz.

     

    Contrary to what many believe on this board, Oz is in hot water and primarily it pertains to the Flacco contract.

     

    Flacco has limitations. He is a "System Guy" and that's another reality that slipped by Oz these last couple years.

     

    Flacco has won a Championship and can win others if the Raven's surround him with the proper personnel.  This is another reality that is clearly lost upon Oz because he has not taken the actions to "protect" his Flacco investment.

     

    Flacco can get the job done with the right tools. Oz on the other hand just doesn't get it any more and clearly is heading the wrong direction again with the offense.

     

    Hopefully this is the last year we have to endure the missteps.

    While I agree that we overpaid by about $119 million, we saved a lot of money by signing monster talent like AQ Shipley and Brandon Stokely for pennies. So it all averages out to 8-8, right?

    Do you guys see john urschel as a guard or could he be our future center? I kind of like the idea of a super genius calling the adjustment checks.

    I would love that. He'd show up to the line and face the nose tackle:

    He complemented his impressive performance as a pass catcher, with a strong showing as a blocker on the edge. He repeatedly sealed the corner on perimeter runs and effectively neutralized his assigned defender on power plays between the tackles.

     

    -Bucky Brooks on Crockett Gilmore's Senior Bowl.

    Sounds like a good cog in the zone scheme.

    I got Spotify on my Mac because of a friends suggestion. I love how you can find music to get a certain mood or feeling. I associate music through mood, colors, and feelings so this awesome for me. 

    I found some bands that I think some people who like prog rock, jazz, or prog metal

     

    God Is An Astronaut

    - this band is sound like if Aliens came down and showed us their proggy music

     

    just found a new band called Red Sparowes

    listening to their song In Illusions of Order

    sound a little like Intronaut 

    Nice suggestion. Intronaut is great! I think that genre of music is pretty easy to play, so there are a good amount of bands who sound okay but just miss the mark, or get boring quick.

    he has a better chance of starting than an UDFA, our FO really values experience, if nothing else he will be rotated in with Arthur Brown and Daryl Smith if he makes the roster, as a former first rounder with experience he will get playing time, one year off isnt a death sentence on a career

    I think they value actual ability more than failed potential. If McClain isn't 3rd or 4th on the depth chart, it will be up to special teams. It depends on how willing he is to learn it and how hard he's willing to work. I would love to see Rolando turn his career around here but I seriously doubt it.
