Um, those two areas are pretty much everything. But I agree, they need to play a solid game to win. The Jags will be fired up as this is their "season" if they don't win.

Nobody.... and it shows.

Let's see. The "offense" as you call it, had less than one game to get ready as the QB was coming off surgery. SSS too. Wallace is new. New left side of offensive line. Is it too much to ask for "improvement" each week? For the most part, Cincy and Pitt have been playing together for years. I will choose to wait a few games before jumping off the cliff, but be my guest Fastynart, leap.

We are not going to lose...... So I am not worried about that stat. Amen, Mom

Vets don't go through waivers - that's why the FO chose Forsett to do that with. Waivers? I thought he was released. He could have signed with another team but chose the Ravens.

To do that means you either sacrifice key parts of your existing team, give up the farm in next year's free agency market or stink ever worse this year than last a draft one.....

At $3M a year? I don't see it unless he reworks his contract.... Just like the Ravens are attempting to do.

I too wished for Butler to make the cut. With that said, is he better than SSS? Wallace? Aiken? That brings us to Perriman and Moore. He isn't going to be chosen over #1 Perriman and Moore is faster and with as much or more upside. I thought for sure he would be the #6 WR. Obviously, he wanted a change of scenery as he was offered the PS again. He is from Sarasota, so he is going home. I will follow him and see if he surfaces in TB.

Oh, and a shout out to Justin Forsett. Great guy, heck of a ball player and I wish nothing but the best for him in anything he does. At least he got his signing bonus. I'll be looking to see where he lands.

"If" Butler doesn't get picked up by someone else, I suspect he is back on the practice squad for depth. No?

Can someone tell me how Matt Elam made the team? I understand he was a #1 pick, but c'mon. He didn't produce and only looked reasonable around other 2nd and 3rd stringers.... Is he the expendable one when Oz finds someone released?

The only way Reynolds can go to another team's practice squad is if the Ravens release him. They won't do that..... this year, at least.

My 2 cents. The players need more game speed practice. They need to stop working out in the weight room so your tendons aren't over taxed. During the last contract negotiations, the player's union chose less practice in pads for allowing more power by Goodell. How's that working out for them.

Can't happen. Joe can't carry the team with his arm. That's why the Ravens keep drafting RB's. Other teams have used the "run by committee" with success. Possibly that is what shakes out, but I agree they are doomed if the running game falters. If the Ravens have to pass 50 times a game, we will lose the turnover battle and finish in last place.

For the 100,000th time. This Dennis' and the Ravens decision. Are you mother hen? Say your prayers for him, wish him the best and wish him well.

I am not trying to take a personal shot at you here, but you are confirming what Danny stated. You stated Jimmy and Ladarius were not at full strength. The Ravens did not have roster depth last year as it was evident during the preseason games where other teams' second and third stringers took our backups to the wood shed. We lost 5 of our first six games and the only loss was Sizzle. This team was not very good. Yes the parity in the NFL is real and there isn't a huge difference between winning and losing. That was evident by all the close losses. But the Ravens didn't have the horses (all year) to get them over the hump. Sugar coat it all you want. Vegas has the O/U for the Ravens at 8 wins. That should show you something. Even through Purple colored glasses. Hey. I'm all for the Ravens beating the Squealers and Cincy. I'm all for the Ravens getting into the playoffs. But at some point, fans need to be realistic.

Not so sure they cut Boyle. He did play better than second round Max Williams, and he is cheap. Think it's time to move on from Pitta. I know he is a great player, but it's time to let the younger ones a shot. You want to keep Boyle who can't stay out of trouble but move on from PItta? Doesn't he deserve a chance to make the team? What if he turns out to be the best of the group? Patience is a virtue.

I'm with you John. People can't give you back change without it spelled out for them. Located in Detroit? Now I understand.

SSS, at his age, accumulating 1000 yards this year would put him in elite company with no other than Jerry Rice. He was on pace for over a thousand last year and did so in 2014. Yes, you are entitled to your opinion, but at least, back up your "opinion" with some substance.

The team was 1-5 with everyone but Sizzle. The team obviously wasn't very good.

If the Ravens don't find a place for Waller, he won't be on the PS.... too valuable. I predict he has some "injury" and is placed on the IR.

Give John a little time. He should be able to whip up an algorithm in no time. I just want in on the patent.

As I try and wrap my head around the Ravens' draft plan, the only thing I come up with is their observation that the team needs better overall depth. Is it better to have more bodies or is it better to have a few future stars? Time will tell.
