One question - did Sanu even catch a pass in the game? I know AJ Green and Marvin Jones showed up to play but what is this clown doing running his mouth?

What was Kendrick Lewis thinking when he let Green fly pass him, secondly has Ed Reed' tapes been banned from the facility because Will Hill surely didn't get copies of them. Safety is suppose to be occupied by high football IQ guys... Example when Ed Reed was injured for a few games in a row and Zibby stepped in for him, Zibby knew he wasn't Reed and played dam near 20-25 yards off the ball keeping everything in front of him, hell I couldn't see Zibby on TV until a pass was thrown. He was smart enough to not get beat deep.

I really feel like it actually was a cover 3 look like Harbaugh had mentioned in his PC. They had 2 deep routes on that side of the field and Hill and Smith were late to converge.  Hill was caught staring down the front side and stopped moving his feet.  Even when the pass was thrown to Green he didn't break on it like he normally does.  The way Kendrick Lewis reacted to a streak route indicated to me that he was NOT in straight man cover even if our defensive alignment at the snap looked like we were.

2013 all over again. But we already blamed that on Rice and Pierce?? It is overly predictable playcalling IMO. Forsett is nothing special and our line has been playing poorly in all 3 games this season. It didn't help that Joe was off his game until well into the 3rd quarter.

The flags were flying..... Did you guy's see this one??!! http://russellstreetreport.com/2015/09/28/ruling-on-the-field/missed-offensive-pass-interference/

I do, and was yelling pretty loud at the TV when it happened live.  After a decade or so of Ravens games I've given up hope on getting judgement calls going in our favor, just the way it is if you want to root purple & black.

Nice to see they threw Melvin right back into the starting lineup so he could pick up where he left off in the AFC divisional - getting ROASTED. Jimmy Smith and the almighty Will Hill looked bad today as well, time to make some changes to our game plans. Justin Forsett was also a dumpster fire today, our running game is awful as a whole. Having a hard time finding any positives outside of Steve Smith, Brandon Williams and 2 defensive plays. Where was the great Timmy Jernigan???

Great, Pees calling out the secondary for not being able to cover with no pressure upfront

Exactly. Every corner looks bad when he has to cover for 6+ seconds. We need some pressure up front!

I think Waller needs to prove that he can make plays before they put him into situations like that.  While the guy has a lot of potential, he is still raw and has very little experience playing against NFL level talent.  Guys like Gillmore and Brown, who are about as tall as Waller are guys they were rather use in those situations.  

 

Also, I think you meant to say Waller is about as fast as Torrey.  Torrey ran a 4.42,  Waller ran a 4.47, but Perriman ran a 4.27.   

Let's try to remember that this was hand timed which is always substantially better than electronic timing.  Taylor Mays also ran a hand timed 4.24 before the official timing came out.

Brady did fully  cooperate. Your being swayed by NFL and media lies. For the media it's all about ratings. For they have no honor or shame. What the judge said was the NFL had no (zero)  proof. Oh, they phoned up some proof, that even a hateful idiot could see. Lets play ball and enjoy the games. Peace Dude.

Well wrong on both right there chief.  The only thing the judge said was that the league acted outside of what they were allowed to do within the CBA.  Not fully cooperating ala Brett Favre dic pic investigation only received a fine.  San Diego Chargers equipment violation also only received a fine.

Anyways... Pumped that Jernigan is practicing again cause we need him out there this year, along with Perriman!

Flacco would have more if it wasn't for Lee Evans, Anquan Boldin and TJ Houshmanzadeh.

Flacco would have zero without Boldin

KO's career is on the rise, at 31 - Yanda is on the backside of his career. He is still a great player at this point, but giving him a large longterm deal probably isn't in the teams best interest.

He's a 7 year veteran but he's only 26? Is that right??

He's a 5 year veteran who turns 27 on June 16th

On your comment about the Pats you might be right but remember they'll be playing the first four games WITHOUT Brady.  That's gotta hurt having to use a second string QB whose playing time has been extremely limited.  I'm guessing they will be lucky to be 2 and 2 after the first four games.

If I were to put money on his appeal, I would bet his suspension becomes 2 games at the very most, especially after Kraft announced they won't appeal the fine and loss of picks.  It just seems like some backroom deal was made right then between Kraft and Goodel(who is hearing the Brady appeal)

good depth signing, good for camp competition at worst.

Camp can't get off the bench without pulling a muscle. Time to give that Carter kid a shot.

"He's a no-nonsense downhill runner with terrific feet for his size who finishes through contact — traits very much on display last season."  Who's paying this guy? Talliaferro may be the softest 226 pound rb Ihave ever laid eyes on, Buck Allen plays a very balanced game, he may not have the weight that Talliaferro has but he naturally runs harder, a quick film study will show that.

I would have to agree, I think he runs way too high and is lousy at short yardage.  I have high hopes for Buck Allen.

have a coke and a smile Ben.

its May, we're bored. have some fun.

lol fair enough..

How about some NFL production before we start with this nonsense...

No wonder he could set an edge, I didn't realize he played defensive TACKLE in college! Congrats on a great career to this guy, was a great leader and always did his job.

Pats just cut Dennard, prob an upgrade over most of our reserves

Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada!  Started watching more NFL in junior high after only watching CFL as a kid.  I was immediately drawn to the gritty defensive style of the RAVENS!!

I like this pick up because honestly there is no Travis Fredrick or Alex Mac type center in this year's draft and you don't want to reach for a need. So I think this is the right move at worse he can come in and play guard. I think a 5th rounder in next year's draft is very little to give up for a proven young guy who is only been the league 6 yrs and is 27. As far as PFF is concern I trust Ozzie's grade far more better.

Frederick had a 3rd round grade from Mike Mayock and turned out to be a great pick at the end of the 1st round even though it was a "reach" at the time according to almost all the pundits. I really don't think anyone can say there isn't a quality center in this draft class at this point, there are so many quality players at high-profile positions that alot of really solid players may be overlooked.

The top paid center (Ryan Khalil) got a 6-year $49 million contract. That's $8 million a year. Mack will likely ask for more than that, especially if a team plans on offering an unmatchable contract.

The GM that gave that contract was also fired shortly after. He also did ill advised top of the market contracts to Deangelo Williams and Charles Johnson that year if I recall correctly which now have the Panthers in cap jail.

I'm not even sure Nick Mangold got that much money, and he's the best C in the game IMO.  I wouldn't be surprised if Mack is more in the 7M/year range, which is still out of our price range to get back to your original point. Mack was more of a dream as far as our team was concerned but I'm more than happy with the acquisition of Zuttah.

I was more referring to paying $10+ million to Alex Mack, when we can still get a good player for half the price (and we did). I think getting Zuttah was a great move. I've only heard positive things about him from Bucs fans.

Where did you get the impression that Alex Mack will get 10M per season?

What did our center rank at?

#35 of out 35.

Except you wouldn't be able to trade him after two more years, because he's about 2-3 years from being out of the league completely.

Nobody offered a 4th or a 5th round pick for him, therefore its just silly to pretend like he's worth that price. Its like people pretending like they know how much a player should get on a contract. No person is actually overpaid, because the "market value" of a player is, by definition, the amount that somebody is willing to pay for them.

If Boldin was placed on the trade market to every single team (which he was) and nobody offered more than a 6th round pick, then he's worth a 6th round pick.

It's hilarious to me that you think he was put on the block for "every single team". Harbaugh and the FO traded him to brother Harbaugh as a favor and also to protect themselves from payback. If he was cut(like they were threatening) then he would likely have gone somewhere in spite like New england or Pittsburgh. It's very stupid to think that rivals of the Ravens had any real chance to trade for him.
