Lmao what the hell are you talking about? We already were trending in that direction. We were the #1 d for a few weeks and finished 7th. We needed a better pass rush and corner depth to really elevate the defense and now we have those reinforcements. Had we been 15th or worse on defense then okay, but we were already knocking on the door if a great defense, especially w J. Smith on the field 🙄 Well, if it's as you're saying, then let's not call this a "Major Philosophical Shift" as it's titled. Seems like a bucket load of hyperbole, rather than simple mid-stream adjustments. That was my original point.

Usually, changes in philosophy do not and cannot turn on a dime overnight. If the philosophical change in approach is true, then I expect that to be a 2-3 year transition to being the team resembling that style. So that means potentially 1-2 more years of middling, not-yet-fully-developed, average team stats and finishes before the break out comes.

Love our D, worried about our O.

Looks like Cincy got another one from the chain gang. Went with Mixon. What is it with Cincy and convicts? Maybe he and Burfict will fight it out on the practice squad and send each other to the IR. lol

Got the pass rusher in Bowser.

I'll think positive and consider this Ozzie's attempt to create Legion of Boom 2.0

OK pick for an area that's been a major weakness for year. Bummed that we didn't pick a pass rusher. That means round 2 & 3 needs to be DE, OL, & WR

Ozzie is singing The Clash right now: "Should I stay or should I go (2nd round)?"

Pass rusher is looking more and more likely for us. UNLESS Ozzie trades the pick, and gets more 3/4th rounders.

We're definitely going OL or DE on this round

Well, all 3 WR's on everyone's list is gone.

If certain key guys are gone by #16 (Davis, Williams, Foster, etc), I could easily see Oz pulling a trade, dropping down in the 1st to pick up yet another 3rd/4th.

If we do WR, we need the best precision/possession receiver we can get. Perriman & Wallace can gallop all over the field, but we need a guy or two who can stop, turn on a dime, and haul in catches in traffic on short/medium routes.

"American Airlines has dropped charter flights for six NFL teams, including the Ravens." I heard United's starting a new class of seats called "Full Contact"...oh wait...

Tragic. Absolutely tragic. How devastating for the family. My heart goes out to them. It's the last thing any parent ever wants to see happen in their lives with their own kids.
