    He might be and I saw Jamie Collins combine numbers there almost Identical expect for Vertical and Broad jump Tyus has him in cone drill 

    Jamie Collins- 41.5 Vertical 11.7 Broad jump 4.64 40 and 7.1 cone bench 19

    Tyus Bowser- 37.5 Vertical 10.7 broad jump 4.65 40 and 6.75 cone bench 21

     

     

     

    That's not almost identical. Jamie Collins blew him of the water in the vert and broad. Those are massive differences.

    Dude, you aren't confident in the offense at all, you are just setting the framework so you can complain about Flacco the second things go wrong. It is pretty obvious and is the whole reason I have been calling you out.

    And you really are bad at reading, this is 3 times now where I am saying judging each play individually as opposed to taking a game or season into account is stupid. It is called sample size, it is a pretty basic thing to know. If a guy is getting pressured all the time, I would expect them to hurry things up with the expectation of being pressured. Even if he isn't, if the line is doing bad enough that the expectation of being pressured is there, then that is a problem with the line. Kinda funny how with Kubiak he had a good line right? Kinda funny how in 2012 when he had the best line he has ever had for those 4 games he went on that great run? And now that the line has regressed since Kubiak left, funny how Flacco has regressed as well? Maybe because Flacco actually trusted those lines to give him time and doesn't with the lines the past couple years. Maybe because those were good lines and having to deal with the lines of 2013 and the injured mess that was 2015(which was far more injured than the defense but of course you were blaming the offense for everything even though they were all injured) messed up his mechanics? But no, I am sure those were great lines and Flacco ended up injured both those years by tripping over his own feet. 

    And here comes the contract talk. I get that but at the same time if you expect him to perform like Rodgers then you haven't been paying attention. We pay him what we pay because we have no other option if we want to stay competitive. Maybe you want organized chaos back but we only won 1 super bowl with it and it was an all time great defense that certainly hasn't been here for years. We aren't getting rid of Flacco and the contract ain't changing so either get used to it or pop in some highlights from 2006 and watch us struggle with Boller or old McNair in the playoffs. 

    As for the line, We have 3 positions filled. The others are question marks. Would you be fine with a 4th round rookie starting at CB? No, you'd be crying about how little help the defense has as per usual. You probably still will find ways to cry about that this year. No different at Guard but they are offense so I guess that is fine since it doesn't fit your narrative. And that 4th round rookie may be changing positions and may be raw so again, counting on a lot for him to actually perform well this year. If all these picks and FA signings this year were on offense, you'd be crying about how little help the defense got too which is what I find funny and what I have been calling you out on this whole time. You are no better than the people you are going after so much. But lets break down that 2014 defense at this point in the offseason just so you can realize just how hypocritical you are being.

    We had a freaking stud in Ngata, we had a good starter in Canty. Sizzle, Doom, McPhee were deadly, Upshaw was good against the run. We had CJ and Daryl Smith. We had a first round pick in Elam, a good FA in Kendrick Lewis. Jimmy and Webb with a 5th round pick in Chykie Brown who had time to develop and another one in Asa Jackson. That is 4 CBs for 3 spots right? Honestly that might be a better group than this offense as it has a really good front 7. Of course we learned that CB was a mess with injuries and players not developing but that is just as likely to happen with the O-line this year is my point and people being concerned about it aren't "not giving the young guys a chance", they are looking at what we have and seeing a fairly high risk in the group doing bad. And you haven't even tried to hype up the receivers yet haha. But lets break down that O-line:

    Stanley is good but already missed time last year, Yanda is getting older and we had good play from LT and RG in 2013. LG,C, and RT were just terrible that year. So it is very possible those guys stay healthy and Jensen/Urschel become the next Chykie Brown or Asa Jackson and that our rookies aren't ready for the big time yet(I mean San Diego State to the NFL is a big jump and our other guy was more of a developmental pick). Heck maybe Lewis regresses and does poorly at RT. That isn't even taking injury into account.

    Your my hero! 

    He's as biased as the come when it comes to defense vs flacco

    That might be enough, that's what we had during the last SB run.

    Do you think Boldin, Torrey, Jacoby Jones, Pitta and Ed Dickson are substantially better than Wallace, Perriman, Moore/Camp and Pitta/Williams/Gilmore? I don't. Besides,Oz adds at least 1 pass catcher before the season maybe more. Sure you can say "but injuries...". The fact is they are a part of the game, can't 

    Perriman gets a starting role this season, with a full TC, and will do tremendously well: 70-80 rec, 1000-1100 yards, 6-8 TD's.   
    He got rid of his rookie jitters last year and will make an impact this season imo. 

    The keys are: (adequate) protection by the OL, for Flacco to gain more confidence post injury, and for the running game to become a consistent, viable threat again. 

    Yes the 2012 group was better and it isn't even close

    I thought purplepitta was going to post this last night, but I guess he didn't.

    Here is a quick preview of what the new board that he and I are creating. Sorry for the bad quality. I couldn't upload the full sized picture, but you get the idea.

    Will do

    Think I will sign up to this site if enough of the regulars do. Looks very well laid out

    I decided to watch full games. He was hsed in coverage so much it got annoying....and thats not a bad thing.

    I read a lot of analysts say lack of production was a problem but in my eyes it was because Houston used him in coverage way too often. Its a miracle he got those sacks given his limited opportunities. 

    When in coverage he rarely was targeted and if he was, he was typically in good position.

    I watched the 2015 bowl game vs FSU because i heard Daniel Jeremiah say he "ran with cook stride for stride 45 yards down the feild" so i had to check it out

    Theres proof....he said he did it.

    Now i watch the game film and IT NEVER HAPPENED!!!!! Cook never even had a carry pass 8 yards in the entire game! He had a 20 or so yard reception and Bowser was on the complete other side of the feild.

    FYI GUYS!!! sorry to post this in this thread. I just really wanted to call out Daniel Jeremiah for being a LIAR!!!

    It wasn't against fsu if was the senior bowl or something like that

    All I ask is upon release people check out or boards lol :) . @flynismo , upon open I loved to get in touch but for now me and my friend have been working hard and I see it as a personal project for now, but in the future I loved to get in contact. A message for all, I am looking to not only keep the community together, but expand the forums to articles where you amazing fans with opinions can write nonbias reports without being restricted in addition to other growths. Ex: Would you ever see an article posted on here about how Ozzie's picks have been dipping? Garret and Ryan would be fired in a split second. I love the current simplicity but I know you guys could love it as more. 

    The issue with your site is many have jumped with @BOLDnPurPnBlacK who's a long-term member here. No one knows you and people will.be loyal to him even if yours is better, and it is looking promising. You really need to PM him

    The only reason I am not carrying points is that I haven't been active the past few months :)

    Listen, there were times where I thought the mods were being way too knit-picky, even with the understanding that this is a family oriented community. But they have also let me slide many times, more than I deserved. They have been more than fair to me personally, and for that I appreciate it. 

    You know, the other night I went through my content just to reminisce; as narcissistic as this is going to come off as, I got a lot of laughs reading through some of my old threads and the responses to them. The Purple Reign thread was probably my favorite thread ever :D

    So it's kind of depressing on a personal level to see this forum die. So much time spent on here, so many laughs shared with others, so many awesome and cool new people I've gotten to meet. but instead of being sad about what we're losing, I'm just thankful for what we had!

    This  draft should end all the Flacco debates, outside of maybe one draft they have done nothing to put a team around him.  They obviously dont think he is good enough to build a team around.  They elected to stop teams and find a true leader on defense.  

     

    So I think Flacco goes at the end of his contract. Or sooner if we get a trade partner. 

    So you accept that flacco has nothing to work with? That's good you admit that after your constant bashing of him

    Plenty of talent? Get real. Camp's always hurt. Moore has more drops than catches. Gillmore's always hurt and when he is on the field is too slow to be a viable threat. Maxx is almost always hurt and if he's healthy he's not on the field bc of poor coaching. Boyle is slower than I am and is also suspended half the time. Waller is underused by the coaching staff but also took forever to figure it out. Taliaferro is a back and is always hurt. Urschel had a good rookie year and has done jack since then.

    So, that leaves Perriman, West, Dixon, and Allen who have been healthy and at least somewhat effective, and three of them play the same position: RB, which isn't the key to unlocking any passing game.

    And Perriman? Misused and drops too many over the middle passes. 

    Wanna rethink the whole "plenty of talent" crap?

    This. Our offense is relying in players with question marks everywhere.

    Pass catchers that have shaky hands, waller Perriman and moore. Pass catchers with a chequered injury history, Perriman Williams Gilmore camp. Pass catchers with a chequered drug histroy, boyle.

    Olineman that have been replaced by off the street cast offs and a 4th round rookie, Jensen and urschel.

    These are the players we are relying on to step up. Maybe they do maybe they don't. But it's on Ozzies head if they don't
