  1. One player can make a difference. Moe Williams couldn't replace Jamal Lewis. So if we can get 100% healthy we can make a run at going 8-8 / 9-7 and maybe win the division. Our offense needs some finger pointing at this time. Ray Lewis had it right. Hold them all accountable. Leave politics out of it. Make the Ravens offense show up from here on out.
  2. Even though he's a veteran, right now Joe needs a QB coach. He's developed some bad habits that need attention. Time to go back to 2010 when Al Saunders and Jim Zorn were truly helping Joe with his mechanics. Joe was much more consistent. Face it. He's starting to look like Jeff George. This years offense should be putting up 25-30 points a game. There's a reason it is not. Coaching..or the lack of it.
  3. We needed this. John did it right on time. Now we can expect to see better play calling. And for all those bashing Joe, if we had had a real secondary in 2014 no doubt in my mind that we would have beat NE in the championship game. Joe is the best QB we've ever had. I hope Marty returns the Ravens back to balance. It was tough watching Joe being used incorrectly.
  4. What poor play calling. As soon as we abandoned the run the offense turned cold. We need a balanced attack to have success. Why not let the RB coach call the plays. Our defense has to be frustrated by what they are seeing. No support at all. If you won't replace Trestman, at least change who calls the plays.
  5. Anyone who believed the talk that Monroe would be our LOT was duped. Joe got his sacrifice answered with this J.O. clone. I expect Stanley to be eased into the position in preseason and ready to start at LOT game one. This is a great pick. Protecting Joe's blind side was the priority. QB's going 1&2 made the pick possible. I was elated when that happened. I knew we had our man.
  6. Pitta would be better off not to chance it. He's a smart guy who will do well in the real world. Goodbye Dennis. Thanks for 2012. You were there.
  7. Pitta is old news. We do have 3 TE's. Yea Max the waxed axe. Put the hammer down. The smoking deisel. I'm ready to see it. Pitta is old news. Not even close to Todd Heap.
  8. Camo pajamas in those colors are very cool Sami.!..but have you ever seen the MLB San Diego Padres in camo? They look like they belong in the middle east.
  9. They're NOT gold. They are mustard. If the color was similar to the Rams' color of gold it might look good. To say the least, the Fashion Designer is colorblind. This was embarrassing. It is now in our teams' history forever. Is French's sponsoring the Ravens?
  10. I'm not doubting your football knowledge but we are talking about Joe Flacco and the Baltimore Ravens here so I think a con job is out of the question making your post irrelevant. IMO
  11. How big are injuries? Game one in Denver was it. Losing Suggs and Smith Sr. missing the winning catch. That said it all. Draft is #1.
  12. The 2016 season started in Cleveland. That TD runback for the win cost us the #1 draft pick. I think Harbs was thrilled about it (not).
  13. Big deal...The Broncos Steelers is the one I want to see. They were comparing the Broncos defense to the Ravens 2000. In that case.. Let's see the Broncos first shutout of the year. Didn't we have 4? Best ever are the 2000 Ravens defense.
  14. Harbs runs a tough camp. Webb didn't need to bulk up. He needed time to fully heal. Some of the Vets benefit more from breaking in easy. It worked last season with Owen Daniels. Webb should be quick and loose. I think Webb will have a fine season as will Melvin. Can't get enough good DB's.
  15. The Donkeys have 2 rookies in their offensive line. Their RB's block poorly. Manning was antsy all preseason. We're going to eat them up. I'm not as sure about the Donkeys defense. That could be a different story. They are talking bad and things may get dirty. They think they are going to be the best defense in the NFL.
  16. All NFL coaches get hit with tough questions at the wrong time. This reminded me of the interview of Packers coach Vince Lombardi after winning Super Bowl 1. The question everyone wanted answered was "How good were the AFL Champion Kansas City Chiefs?" I felt at the time of the interview that Vince really didn't want to answer but reluctantly he said "about as good as Detroit" who finished 4-9-1 tied for last in the west. The answer Vince gave may have been different if he had been asked at halftime when the Packers were only ahead 14-10. Harbaugh was smart for not responding. He was obviously steamed at the time.
  17. There were a couple of good clean hits. Suggs is like JJ Watt. The only way he doesn't play his game is to sit him on the bench.
  18. It went great during the practice with the Eagles. This game wasn't a very physical game which is opposite of what you expect from a Ravens/Eagles game. The Referees wouldn't allow it to get physical. Our starting running game was moving along pretty good.
  19. It says Ravens greats...Not players. There are so many. How do you finish the list without feeling someone else should be there? Why not honor Art Modell at the final game as Sami suggests and invite other greats (some won't be able to attend due to prior commitments and announce their names during the Art Modell celebration. Like Art said in his speach to the team after winning SB 35 "forget the front office." It all was because of his players and how hard they played for him. You could have McCrary and others get their recognition in Art's honor. I think Art would be proud.
  20. I remember the play Barney S. Joe did say it. You could read his lips. He also stared Watt down after the cheap hit in the back Watt threw at him. I don't see a kick returner either. As a former special teams coach with Philly Harbs must be searching for one.
  21. The kicking game is half way there. Now just sign Tucker to a 5 year deal. One reason Tucker came to the Ravens was Billy Cundiff. It was Tuckers' best shot to make an NFL roster as an UFA. Tucker has excelled and will want top pay wherever he plays. He deserves it. I hope that signing Sam helps keep Justin a Raven.
  22. I laugh about what the Broncos do in Denver. The draft, the coaching, the GM. The Ravens are their role model. They have admitted it. Kubiak learned as much as he could in his year as OC but he also gave us his best while he was here. We shoulda beat the Pats. Gary deserved to win that one.
  23. We were fortunate to have the Falcons new coaches drafting defensively in rounds 1 and 2. Had they kept (Smith) their former coach TE Maxx Williams would have been gone for sure and maybe WR Perriman too. It was good timing.
  24. "Fell their way" is what happened last year when C.J. Mosley wasn't picked in the first round top 10. This draft had the Ravens selecting the best player for their team to go after the Lombardi. They replaced Torrey in round 1. The top TE in round 2. Had Shane Ray been on the board would the Ravens have selected him in round 1 or 2... I doubt it. Anything about the Ravens wanting Ray was smoke. Even what Harb's said may have been. But yes things turned out in our favor. Other teams made BIG mistakes allowing Ozzie to get his needs filled with potential top players. Ozzie possibly has had his best ever draft.
