Ozzie didnt want to draft anyone with injury concerns and we already have enough tight ends.

Solid pick

love it

So where is this community moving to?

Reddit?

no love for Malik?

Maybe the fight with pitta and flacco jumping in crushed his confidence a little bit. He was probably too physical trying to show the coaches what he could do. he probably hit pitta to hard and  flacco had to protect his bff. After that fight maybe he wasnt playing as hard and was hesitant that why he couldnt get any play time. 

James Conner falling to the 6th round? Im bias though.

Orr was a special teams player who was fighting for the starting job and won it clearly hands down because he was playing like a champ the whole time. Mosley was obviously going to start but the spot next to him was wide open. Orr won it and ran with it.

He was never beating Orr out at any point and time last season and I have no idea why you think this. Training Camp snaps do not mean a darn thing.

People are being hard on him because he was a second round pick that we took instead of taking some other useful players. All draft picks have some sort of upside and since he is a Raven I am hoping he does start showing us why the Ravens thought so highly of him. I am just not betting on it. People are also being hard on him because we drafted him to be an edge rusher and he didn't seem to be able to get the job done and lost out to Matt Judon and Z. Smith. Then he moves to MLB and he didn't look tremendous there, albeit it is a somewhat new position to him.

Nobody has written him off yet, but nobody is reinventing history with him either to believe he's a stud.

How come people only cry about the correa pick? what if correa was injured last season and we didnt know about it? i dont see poeple crying about the Kaufusi pick. People need to chill out on correa and just give him a chance to learn. Judge him when he gets on the field and plays.  It was his rookie season learning a new position. Orr been playing ILB of course he was going to win the starting job.

 4.64 forty is all that I need to show that he is a pretty slow safety comparatively in the NFL to other S's. I never brought up about his game film. I'm sure the Ravens FO know that and know he is better suited as a in the box S. 

Edit: Someone posted earlier that his 40 was a 4.75. He actually ran an official 4.64

didnt elam run a 4.4 or 4.5?  hmm

I want to repeat my previous observation

Matt Elam SS, Draft: 2013, Round 1, Pick 32

Total tackles:    131
Sacks:    0.5
Interceptions:    1
Pass deflections:    7

Tony Jefferson SS, Draft 2013, undrafted

Total tackles:    276
Sacks:    5.0
Forced fumbles:    6
Pass deflections:    11
Interceptions:    2
Defensive touchdowns:    1

 

im surprised Elam has that many tackles

Arthur blank went to the sideline then the falcons fell apart ..

James Conner is still my favorite running back . i rather OZ get a pass rusher and corner is the first 2 rounds then fall back on Conner in the later rounds .

Is the hype real with tj Watt?

I'm so conflicted.  I seriously think the Steelers have more talent than we do BUT we always play them so close.  Is it possible that Tomlin is not that good.  I think they should have beaten us much worse.

Steelers have better coaches and they can adapt to situations . Dean sticks to his gameplan till its to late and marty is idk .. Offense played well enough to win today.

Noah Spence is 100 times the player though.

How do you know that for sure?  John Harbaugh doesn't like giving chances to rookies and waste them on special teams.

Too bad we didn't draft a good pass rusher like Noah Spence, and instead got some undersized injury prone linebacker in last years draft.

Noah Spence is smaller than kamalei . 

 steve smith last game.

Defense is so vanilla that a rookie QB can break it down.

Why did you quote me to say that?  You could have simply wrote that as your comment instead of quoting someone and not saying a thing pertaining to the quote. 

Watch the game next time

What happen to us running the ball controlling the line of scrimmage. It just ended completely.  And in the end zeke out did our backs. 

 

It's the little things that tick me off watching other offenses against. Seeing a screen or dump off pass go for 15 yards and ours go for negative 1. 

See opposing TEs and WRs find open areas in the middle of the field all day and we literally get nothing from our guys ( other that S.Smith ) in the same areas. 

Z.Smith can not set the edge or get pressure come on man you have to be good at one of them at least!

 

Did you watch the game? Defense didnt stop the cowboy once in the second half. 

Dak exposed this defense . everytime they played man he knew who to pick on same vs zone free 10 -15 yard gains everytime.

You homers can say what you want but flacco and harbaugh need to go

Flacco had a solid game. bs zuttah penalty threw the game off for the offense  then the no call on aiken in the endzone . Refs were paid.

Oh by the way.

 

With the new NFl rule for kickoffs.

Devin HHester the highest paid touchback returner in the NFL.  WHY.

If he ain't coming out with the ball why pay him.  Anybody can do that and take a knee.

Its the coaches making him lose his confidence.

That's his first year for God sake; what do you expect from him with a crappy OC, QB, and OL. Are you seriously expecting him to carry the veterans!!

Why is Chris Moore getting more opportunities. they both suck but one is 4 rounder

Is Flacco the problem getting all these offensive coordinators fired?
