Wow...for someone who says they don't want to argue, there sure are a lot of argumentative posts here. And lots of exclamation points too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Btw... "your" and "you're" are two different words.)

I didn't think it was possible for such an ignorant and childish status to cause 31 comments. Ah well.

Worst.thread.ever.

Yup your right I'm 18 but at least I dont come up with silly childish nicknames like Harboo.

That comment there shows yours maturity level.

Get over yourself dude. "Harboo" shows your maturity level. Grow up.

Yeah, Fitz took over in that game! What a Beast he is with a great QB!

Exactly, and he's even good with a subar QB too. Fitz is one of the best receivers ever.. too bad he's wasted his talent there.

Would be great if he ended up here, with Flacco's cannon!

Oh c'mon man. If anything a Mattison defense ranking Top 5 shows how ranking can be overrated and does not truly speak to the talent of your defense. Everyone knows Mattison was bad.

I never thought Mattison was a bad defensive coordinator even though I wasn't always fan of his play calling. You don't reach top 5 stat wise if your defense isn't some what good.. Some Ravens fans just don't like defensive coordinators like Mattison and Pees because they not super aggressive defensive coordinators like Rex Ryan bringing organized chaos. I totally understand Ravens fans missing those days but just because todays defense or Mattison defense didn't measure u...

Play calling is a major part of a coordinator's position though, the other being the overall game plan. Yards have a direct affect on the game in other areas - even though everyone wants to discount them like they don't matter. You'd be hard pressed to find many who do not know that Mattison was a bad DC.

If you watch film of HA HA , AND Pryor, you will see that Pryor is the more instinctive player. He is a true playmaker. Ha Ha is good but don't think he is worth the 17th pick. Pryor will be a very good FS because of his instincts. Elam has a very small reach, and that is the reason he is not very good in coverage. Pryor actually has an above average reach for his size. I just think Pryor is the best FS in this class.

I'd love that combo two quick athletic safeties that love to hit and blitz would be great. I'd like them to have a veteran FS to teach them the ropes maybe an Ed Reed back for vet min for a year. Let him retire with us but help Elam and Pryor learn how to watch film from himself.

Not really a fan at 17 overall - I really think there is excellent value in the second and third rounds at free safety e.g. Brooks, Reynolds, Bailey.

No that is reality! Your looking past the fact that there were 3o other teams we could have negotiated with! Honestly, Boldin was as valuable to our offense as Ray Lewis was to our Defense! It was a mistake to get rid of him! I can say that because it was and is the truth. You may disagree if you want. P.S. Merry Christmas. I'll be playing with all my new toys!! Lol

Nah, everybody new we don't have any bargaining chips when it came to Q's trade. He was obviously worth much more to us but realistically, 6th round pick was OK for 30+ yo WR with a so-so regular season behind him. Enjoy your holidays, I hope we all watch more Ravens football in early 2014!

Ditto!!

Every time I turn on 105.7 before the game and Preston starts talking I want to find him and punch him in the face. Between his concocted stories and the way he makes the team sound like they have no business in the NFL I can't take it.

I actually usually like Jason La Canafora.

I like Mike Preston.

... and this morning the apologies are coming out...

Castillo is the problem, and other coaches also have this team under performing.

Give the reigns back to Moeller. This is just absurd. The more I think about it. I don't think Gradkowski is a problem. He held his own against Geno Atkins last year without any hitches.

Agreed

smh this is so lame

The second part is a crock. But the first part is bang on. Why he didn't see the second half was perplexing.

WELL, THE COACHING STAFF TENDS TO PUT THE PLAYERS ON THE FIELD. tHAT IS WHY I SAID WHAT A JOKE THEY HAVE BEEN ALL YEAR!

We may be able to get Thomas Decloud since he had an off year last year with Atlanta. Maybe we land him on a 1 year proof it bargain deal that Ozzie is famous for.

We still have some cap room for bargain deals.

FS, center, or RT

Ngata, dinged and nicked up three straight seasons, not much of a drop off if any when replacements are seeing duty in his spot plus 16 million tells me he's gone next season.

No Hardbaugh. We wont SAVE 16 million. We would only save 1 million, and have 15 million in dead money. He's not gone unless someone is dumb enough to trade for him.

Ngata had a good game I thought. Definitely an improvement over the last few weeks.

Mike Evans or Sammy Watkins would be ideal. Not likely for either to be there at 16 or 17 draft spot.

Evans is not a possession receiver. Nor is Watkins.

@ MISSRAY & STEPH we will get a top TE in rd1 then a WR in 2

CURSONA PIRATE

Joe will never get the respect he deserves. Even after his fantastic playoff record. I would take him over most in the league.

Allowing that the variables are consistent, I'd trust Joe just as much as I'd trust Brady throughout a whole game, not just the two minute drill. He could hang with the best of them if the variables were consistent.

He was a possesion receiver. Something Flacco has always had. Mason, Boldin. The O-line sucked but the pass protected half way decently!

I can see where your coming from, would be king of crazy if Q ends up back here next year. Lol

actually i am good with Q being gone, I fault our coaches

It was a good call for sure

It was a good call

So the consensus is that the refs blew that one right?

Just saw Ravens talked to Mammoth Guard Gabe Jackson. Watched his film, and made me say WOW! He is HUGE, and looked very solid in all phases of his game. We also talked to Alabama's Punter Cody Mandell, and Aubern's punter Cody Parkey. Per @AaronWilson on Twitter.

He's Marlon Brown, if he was durable, bigger, stronger, faster and had better hands.

I agree.

I'm not a fan of having somebody on the team for the sole purpose of returns, especially a WR like Holiday. Even Asa provides a little bit as a slot CB. I'd rather we not take up a whole roster spot for RS only.

He doesn't offer much outside of returning which isn't anything special.

ya but i don't want him to take up a Wr spot

Franks and Stewart are laughing their asses off......lol

Lack of talent is what has plagued our secondary, not Spags.

The Rams secondary was brown water trash.

Are We talking about same Derek Cox who played really terrible for the Chargers after signing a nice contract then cut. t Goes to a cornerback needy team like the Vikings then gets cut by them before the final cuts of regular season? If you talking about this guy then i don't see how he would had been better than Chykie unless he somehow regained his 2012 form

You know, Ozzie sets the roster, not Harbs...... Some wisdom for the uninformed...

HarBoo over sees/ manages the game/has final say!! How do you leave Brown alone with maybe the best WR in the game, with his only help an unproven single high safety? Answer, You don't!!! Mr. The Raven! So there some info for ya!!

I'll wait until the combine. There's a lot if good receivers we can't see right now, but Matthews looks damned good

Agreed. To an extent, I actually pay attention to the combine.

im pressed on Matthews at this point. he just has that IT factor, the guy comes down with the ball regardless of how well covered he is. and hes the best route runner in te draft imo. I say just take him at 16

Thompson was cut already, But Trawick would probably get the nod over Brown, solely because of his size. Brown is one of the best, if not the best FS on this team. All us fans know this, but for some reason Harbaugh is letting his playmaking ability rot on the PS, like a bad Apple. It honestly makes me sick!

I like Omar Brown i think he will become a great player but dont you think other teams would had snatch him up by now if he was as good as fan believe he is?

His play has answered that question for me!He is always where the ball is and is a ball hawking play maker, who is not scared to get dirty. He did the same thing in college!

HarBoo says he's a 49ers fan now, well guess what HarBoo, within in the next 2-3 years you will be riding your brothers coat tail. Like I said you make me sick. Your a prideful liar!

Well then IM sure he can ask Jim to loan us Vernon Davis for the year

Yeah like we lent them Boldin!

Don't look now Stephen, but I agree 100% lol

I'd love to have Ed Reed back in the flock! He should have never left! Let's go!

The coaching staff doesn't want him back. Makes me sick. This site also is starting to make my stomach sick as well. Some of the folks with a little power on here, don't like it when we make remarks about HarBoo. I thought this was America.

Jazz pretty much summed up my feelings - if he's available bring him in, but right not he's not.

hahaha

lol

he couldn't get PT at UCLA, but we shall see... you never know

He has 11 career receptions and one touchdown

Yeah, just like the idea of giving him a shot. Overall I love the UDFA class we signed.
