    As a whole, yeah. Though I think Stafford actually played better than Wilson in this game, it's just that he didn't get any help from his receivers.

    Ive definitely been impressed with Stafford. The Lions OL has been good too.

    I do not understand what i just read about us looking for another RB. We have a fine set already and could not use them correctly so why on earth do we need another RB ? Are the issues with not implementing the run game Dixon's fault.The guy can move the ball when he is asked to. Would rather spend the time, effort and money on making the O'line better and then use the run game more. Would help the entire team. 

    Seemed from Harbaugh's comment that they're looking for a scat back. They're a dime a dozen though, so it won't be difficult to bring a couple in to compete. Harbaugh also seemed to say Buck Allen could still fill that role. Either way it doesn't seem like RB is going to be a flashy or big name move this offseason.

    i dont get the interview terribly bit - unless somebody just downright disrespectful or a complete nut job or just seems apathetic

    these guys are football players, not looking for ceos, sales manager, engineers, not even checkout people

    we just want guys who know where its at when its time to play ball

    some people dont interview well, might get nervous, not be that well spoken, have trouble comprehending questions - i can imagine its quite a daunting process having possibly up to 32 interviews in a short timeframe - having ones bad enough - no doubt its a room full of people too - not just one on one, owners, coaches, scouts, dang ive heard of priests being involved

    There was a video on this site a while ago, I don't know where it is, but it was one of the beat writers getting a mock combine interview with Decosta. Its a really interesting watch if you can find it. 

    Basically the interviews serve two purposes: (1) to gather some basic background information about the person, and (2) to evaluate the players temperament. I think the second one is probably the more important purpose as teams gather a ton of the background information beforehand (Scouts are out visiting high school coaches, college coaches, looking for all kinds of deep, borderline creepy information about these kids). It's really important to know a player's temperament because of its connection to things like suspensions, emotional responses to adversity in the game and even small things like drive killing penalties. If a player can't hold himself together during an interview where they should know everything that is at stake, that should definitely affect their draft stock because of how important it is to stay poised and focused in football games. 

    It's not even just a Ravens thing either, there's always stories about weird questions meant to upset the player or catch them offguard- such as the infamous question to Dez Bryant about his mother.

    Garett Bolles declared for the draft (Pictured in my profile pic because for a while I thought he could fall to the Ravens, but I don't think he will at this point). I think he's a stud in both the run and pass game and should be the first OL off the board (or maybe Ramczyk if he declares).

    I think that Ramczyk and Bolles are the only legitimate LT prospects I'd consider in this draft (and neither has declared yet). Robinson won't be an NFL LT, but he could probably be an average RT or guard, he's probably going to go in Round 1 even though he shouldn't.

    The team cannot and will not hold on to a lead. What is so hard to understand Bout that?

    I understand it. I just think there's a lot of different places to put the blame (players, FO, coaches) and relative to last year, there was still improvement.

    Flacco needs to take a pay cut. There's no way he or anyone can justify his cap hit being 10 million MORE than Tom Brady's in 2017. Free up some money so your team can help get you a better O Lineman and receiver. 

    Tom Brady is a bad comparison for contracts, he's always taken a lot less to help the Pats and he can afford to do so since he's married to the highest paid fashion model in world history.
