Rav'n Maniac

I truly expect over the last days here to see this become the march of the beer guts.

So tragic. My heart and prayers go out to the entire Heap family. RIP little angel.

I HAVE DONE IT. HAPPY? ARE YOU HAPPY WITH WHAT YOU SEE?

Damn, look at those noodle arms. lol

Per Zrebiec: Webb's new deal is 5.1m over 3 years, 1.2m signing bonus and up to 1.4m each year in incentives. Incentives include playing time with all tied to interceptions, fumble recoveries, punt return yards, etc.

Steve's pretty classy himself.

Does this tat belong to anyone on Ravens Talk?

Steelers announced today the Dan Rooney passed.RIP.

Looks like Webb is getting his number back from Jefferson. Jefferson will wear 23 and Tavon is going to wear 25.

I hope that doesn't screw up Tavon's mojo. j/k

Im surprised nobody has voted for ross on preference. Tbh i kinda like him. Wouldnt mind him here if the board falls that way

I'm not a fan of Ross, especially not at 16. When I look at his film, I see glimpses of Taylor, Clayton or Johnson. 3 highly ranked WR;s in the same mold that we wasted picks on.  At some point, the team needs to make better WR selections in the higher rounds imo.

Completely misread that

Yeah, me too. We could have some fun with that but, it's better off left unsaid. lol

What's up Crenshaw? Haven't seen you around these parts in a long time. How's life treating you?

My preference would be 1a Davis or 1b Williams but, I feel both will be gone before we come up. I could see two of the Bears, Jets, Cards, Bengals or the Browns at 12 snatching them up. With this in mind, I think we will take the best available edge/olb at 16.

3. 3 safety sets could be a thing now. We use a third safety a lot in the rotation, and Webb would still be playing a lot.

I really like the idea of the 6 DB's in obvious passing downs. 3 safety's and 3 corners with the quality of players we have could be deadly. But, we still need a rush.

There's only a few weeks left and the dump thread is nowhere near 100 pages.

I think reaching 100 pages took a dump.

I see that the Eagles have lost rotational DT Beau Allen to injury.

In hindsight, waiting a week may have gotten us a better deal for Jernigan.

I've always preferred the front facing logo. It's not quite as cartoon-ish as the one presently used imo.

I am planning on going on a tirade against the forum's worst on the last day. As many are I'm sure. I'm not planning on logging in ever again so why the hell not? I agree. Let's do this damn thing.

Have I told you how much I respect you lately? lol

It seems Romo is done and has decided to hang them up.

Lol, Didn't realize it was 4/1 article when I read it. What a fool believes...

I doubt that Boldin would actually come back. I read he was recently asked about coming back here and his only reply was " Is Harbaugh still the coach there? "

@BOLDnPurPnBlacK what's the other message board I hear you are creating. I'm interested 

Here's the link: http://baltimoreravens.boardhost.com/index.php

A North Atlantic cruise in September? Would hate to see their season get torpedoed before week 3.

Lmao, is anyone surprised by this?

Lmao, They really need to outlaw inbreeding.

The active/inactives list is because there's not a Disabled List like in baseball.  It's a way to ensure that all teams have the same amount of players entering the game.  If you have a team with no injuries, you have 53 players you can rotate.  If your team has 6 injuries, you're battling 47 vs. 53 players and that's where the "unfairness" comes in.  If they implemented some sort of DL, maybe they could make that work.  I think it's long been a fear of abuse of the DL system, and also taking the strategy out of the game.  A big part of football is game planning and determining which positions you might be able to go short at in order to get a player at a another position that better fits your game plan.

I understand the strategy involved as you have listed and I agree that they need to maintain an active/inactives list for rotational purposes. Unless, as you said, they incorporate a DL, which would be abused and I don't see as a realistic option. My point, and maybe I didn't explain it thoroughly, is that if they increase the overall roster by 7 players, they should at least increase the active roster to the same degree. Maintaining the same number of inactives weekly at 8 as opposed to 15.
