Rav'n Maniac

Wow. If Maxx plays as fast as he talked answering questions during his presser, we're in for a real treat. lol

I'm with you there. I work in northern Virginia and southern Maryland often. Can't stand the traffic in and around DC. I will drive 20 miles out of my way to avoid traveling through DC and it's suburbs.

I feel that Zuttah having KO and Yanda as bookends really helps him look better. I also think KO helps Monroe out as well. jmo

Lets just throw some salt on that wound. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/06/07/cops-find-brandon-spikes-car-abandoned-after-hitting-a-deer/

Nah, not much different than "Predator" just with the "Perr" in front instead.

This^. CTFan - Why don't you try to PM "B-more Ravor". He is the resident contract & salary cap master. Brian will answer your questions.

I saw on another site today where someone referred to him as "The Perredator". I like that for a nickname as he certainly looks the part.

We will start by gaining almost 20M in dead money relief after this season when Rice, Ngata and others come off the books. Then by paying a portion of it up front in bonus money that will be spread out evenly over the length of the contract.

That's just so wrong! He's depth. Jensen may never amount to anything more than a career backup and may never see the field, but the team has seen enough talent in him to offer him a EFA contract this season. Even if he is just on the PS, he benefits the team by helping them to prepare week in and week out.

This! You are spot on.

I agree that this is what history proves the Ravens to be. Out of 23 playoff appearances, we had only 5 at home for a 3-2 record. I don't agree that we need to be in a weak division to take a top seed, although good teams in weak divisions generally are higher ranked more often than not.. Every team in the NFL can be beat, we simply have to play better than our opponents to achieve this going forward.

For just once, I would like to see us do well enough to be the #1 seed with the road to the championship coming through Baltimore. Everyone has to have a dream and that's mine.

Damn man! I spit my coffee out on that one. lol

You just have to love this guys heart. It's much bigger than than ball he carries.

It's been great seeing some of the vets come out for OTAs. That doesn't happen much and we are very fortunate to have players like D. Smith and the others thinking of the "Team" first.

Crockett Gillmore is one of the sickest names in the NFL.

Darin Gantt. He's the worst towards us. without question!

I agree. Must be something else going on there that we don't know about.

I like that, Double X sounds good. He could even play up to it when he scores. Bang his forearms together in an X shape twice.

Wow, I completely forgot about Worilds retiring. Nice catch! Thanks.

Agreed, the Steelers are rebuilding on D. In addition to their DC and Polamalu, they lost Clark, Keisel & Taylor as well. If I'm not mistaken, didn't someone else leave & sign with another team? I can't remember for sure.

I remember us talking about the pontoon way back when, that's why I brought it up. Too funny. You can still name her. Have a flag made up and fly it off the stern across from the jolly roger. Won't be long, you'll find yourself talking like a pirate. Arrr.

Nice! Won't look the same once you mount the wife's pontoons, lol. What you gonna name her? At least it's partially Ravens colors and a big Ravens head sticker would look sweet on the side there. j/k

Not trying to sarcastically rebut your post, just trying to explain my reasoning. With that said and using your per target numbers: While in S.F. he was targeted on avg. 130 times in each 16 game season. While in Bmore he was targeted on avg. 109 times each avg. 15 game season. That's a difference of 21 targets more in S.F. which is 1.3 targets per game avg. Not that much more per season considering he averaged 15 games per season here. In S.F. he caught an avg. of 83 per season on 130 avg. targets with a 63.8% avg. completion rate. In Bmore he caught an avg. of 62 per season on 109 avg. targets with a 56.8 % avg. completion rate. To me, he played better in S.F. As far as the 3 missed games he had over 3 years here, no one can really say how he would have performed during those games for certain. He could have lit it up, crashed and burned or more than likely, just continued his averages. We can only attempt to figure it out based on his averages over the 15 game season. Using the above averages, over 16 week seasons he would end up with an avg. of 66 catches per season on 116 targets which is still 56.8% avg. completion rate.

Since you are asking, I feel Ben would have been awesome with Boldin & Mason, especially since I am a big fan of both receivers and hated to see both go. I have never been a fan of Wallace and Holmes and I believe we would have been less productive with those two here. My only knock on Boldin, and it's not a big one, is that I feel he could have had better regular season production while he was here.
