Idk. We went thru Denver both times we won the SB. Could be what the doctor ordered.

Williams is the best NT in the league and does a different job than Ngata. Williams eats up blockers and drives back the pocket whereas Ngata was more of a penetrator. Ngata in his heyday would be worth 15 mil a yr now maybe more. Hopefully we can resign all 3 players from the '12 class cuz we need to regain an identity with more in their prime players. We are sorely lacking in players that were homegrown between their 5th and 10th year. We have maybe 6 of these types of players on our roster which is pathetic.

Yes those players and coaching staff put their jobs on the line lol

That's sooooo funny but the real reason is probally we have no place to play him and I doubt we sign any headliners when we got our own to try and lock up (Manny and Britton). I think its a good move to raid the RedSox minors. I'm going to predict right now Tavarez makes the team cuz we don't want him going back to the Sox. I'm going to have to assume nobody wanted our minorleagers haha.

Wholheartedly agree when you talk about feel for the game. If the run game is going I believe Marty would stick to it and if Joe is hot ride that arm whereas imo Trestman always wanted to get cute and try to fool people. To me tho this whole thread is moot cuz I don't want Marty going nowhere and he can become the longterm answer at OC.

Weddle was an A+ signing by Ozzie. Our secondary is a 100x better.

Basically what we are looking at is under Trestman we would give up the run game in a close game but against the Dolphins the pass game was working so why deviate. With us jumping out in front the playaction was always there. They had to keep worrying about the run. Just cant give up on the run when you got plenty of clock and the game still in question which was happening under Trestman. You don't neccassarily need any kind of ceratain pass ratio to the run as long as you got all options open. Pedal to the metal.

I do want to give him a chance. I'd like to see a basestealing threat at the top of the lineup for a change.

Thanks for telling us who our inactives were.

Squish the fish.

The thing we need most is a leadoff hitter. We need better OBP.

The committee could also look at the fact that both Penn St losses happened at the beginning of the year while they beat Ohio St in the middle of the year and have rolled off 9 wins in a row and like Ohio St have a great following. You cant rank Mich ahead cuz if they played that extra game they may have lost. In the end. Ohio St will go in imo but theres gonna be a lot of drama in this which is good cuz at minimum it should be 8 teams with the Big 5 conf winners, the best one in the other conf's and 2 at larges which Ohio St would be a no brainer. I personally think Penn St is better than Wash but can you imagine the sqwaking that would happen if Wash got knocked out lol. And how bout James Franklin and McSorley. Two fun guys.

Go Penn St. I want some controversy lol. Ill go with Va Tech too. Whynot doubledip.

Jeez I just went and looked up Snider and he played all last year in the minors but I guess you didn't say he was regular in the majors lol. Remember we had him and he was terrible. I agree with you we need starting pitchers but just bringing in mediocre guys isn't going to do it. Maybe Detwiler over Miley but with these other moves we'd be just like gerbils running in the same ol wheel thinking we getting somewhere. If you want to do something ballsy maybe we should trade an Adam Jones or JJ Hardy and get some high profile minor leagers in here like some starting pitching. Or even Manny. Whoa!

Unfortunately that's the way the NFL will probally look at it tho but right now I think he's at least the Ravens MVP... but you know 32 teams.

Can you list explanations for each as to why you want these guys. What are they gonna provides besides more mediocrity. You defintly have to explain Snider at least.

The more I think of this right now I'm fine with Martyball. We've been looking for somebody long term and he's been an upgrade over Trestman imo. He doesn't give up on running the ball which gives us the playaction. Chip Kelly sounds interesting and Joe seems to do pretty good with hurry ups and we do have good speed on offense but I do not see him taking a backseat as OC. Personally as a fan Id rather see us keep a more chew up the clock style.

Tucker play about 3% of plays if that. Nope.

Realistically yes. We can beat anybody.

I believe he wont but Id like to see him do it. More than once.

Get a whole bunch of friends. We need Ravens fans in that stadium.

This is classic. Joe is a game manager.

@January J Great analogy of the game and the "ugly" you couldn't think of was is the way we just play the game. Ugly!!

The good- the safety call. did it once before why not again lol.
