All of last offseason all the coaches were going out of their way to complement Matt Elam saying that he was working harder than ever, and praising how well his offseason was going. I know we kind of have a log-jam at safety with more quantity than quality, with the exception of Eric Weddle, but if Elam was actually making progress like the coaches said and he comes back healthy do you think there's any chance for him to play strong safety with Weddle playing free safety? It's just a thought I had yesterday what do you guys think?

It's all good. I think with all our FA signings we are only going to get 1 this year although it should be a 3rd cause of the size of KO's deal

Well I mean Torrey started with dreads and then cut them so wouldn't that be another comparison?

I don't think we get a compensatory pick regardless. From my understanding it's from player leaving in FA not getting cut.

Yea I get the point your making, but if you're basing it off talent alone which I think most are he has to be up there.

Oh you haven't heard? We're all getting together and petitioning for OZ to be fired and for some of the forum members to run the FO. (Please note the sarcasm)

iirc it was a broken ankle, and that gained a ton of respect from me. I remember one specific play where he caught a ball and was headed to the sideline but the safety was coming at him full speed so he stopped, stiff armed the safety and then walked out of bounds.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA perfect.

As long as it's fast twitch functional muscle.

He has always had the talent but never been able to stay on the field. I've watched him since he was with the Dolphins, since I do live in Miami, and even then the team felt like he had the talent to be a top notch corner but just couldn't seem to stay on the field. He was to the Dolphins what Camp is to us now.

I think the bad move was letting Miller walk but the Foster deal isn't bad. He only got 400k at signing and 1.5M base deal with incentives that can take it up to 3.5M. I think that's reasonable because if he can stay healthy I think he still has some ability left, and if you feel he can't stay healthy you can cut him before week 1 and no harm no foul all they lose out on is the signing bonus.

Not weird in a bad way just kind of like crazy to think how blessed we've been to have this transcendent talent on the field for us for such a long time.

I'm aware lol sorry not enough sarcasm I guess. A little weird to think though that 20 years from now when this thread is opened for that new season 52 days will still be Ray Lewis.

I'm sure we can find another player for 52 days right?

Actually went to the same game last season for my first game at M&T Bank. I paid about the same to sit near the 50 and it was definitely worth the price especially since we won.

With the 803rd Pick, Dante's Inferno selects Jamize Olawale, FB

and iirc the Ravens had to choose between Grubbs and Yanda so he's not really so much the one that got away, we kind of let him sign elsewhere to keep Yanda.

My girlfriend tried that last year and the system kept going down and when she called the hold was eternal, by the time it was actually working all the tickets were sold out. We ended up getting them from Stub Hub I think but we still got great seats!

Enjoy it! I made my first trip to the Bank last year, and after going to the stadium here in Miami I can say it's a huge upgrade.

I'm trying to go to Baltimore for the game against Miami. My brother is a huge dolphins fan and we both live in Miami so we're trying to make the trip, and it's usually a pretty close game.

Or his agent? does he even have an agent anymore?

Dante's Inferno Selects, Dustin Colquitt, Punter

Yea definitely. I used to try to start big fights in each city until I killed all the guards in the city in one sitting.

Yea, I feel like if he didn't think he could fully come back from this he would've retired.
