  1. ...and he catches everything.  The only dropped pass by him that I can remember was the TD pass vs Cinci in Game 1. I really don't understand the folks saying he's on the bubble to make the team.  I seriously question whether or not they payed attention to what he did last year.  If he has a camp similar or better than last season, there's no way he gets cut. 

    I think the 4 WRs from last year's roster plus Perriman & Waller. Anyone else that shines in camp goes on PS. Sure don't know what all the hype about Carter is. Fiftieth best WR in this draft class with same 40 speed as Camp & many others. You mentioned Aiken catches everything...Brown also caught everything thrown to him the 2nd half of the season. I have great hopes for these guys; TEs included.

  2. A 2 PT conversion should be WAY more difficult than a PAT. The premium on that additional point should be rich ... so that it is only there when you are desperate. I do not want to see rules put in place that motivate teams to routinely go for 2 because it has been made too easy. 

    Gotta say I agree. The Philadelphia option (move the spot to the 1 yd line) is going the wrong way. If, as some think, the owners will move the PAT back even farther next season, then they should also move the 2-pt conversion spot to the 3 yard line, not the 1.

  3. Aaron Schatz of Football Outsiders writes, "The 2-point conversion is converted roughly half the time, so the numbers suggest that the smart head coaches will begin to go for 2 after nearly every touchdown except in certain late-game situations, an XP try being worth roughly 0.91 points and a 2-point try being worth roughly 0.99 points." It will be interesting to see if Tuck gets less work this season; after all, Ozzie anticipated this change when he drafted all the 6'4"~6'6" pass catchers.

  4. I like it. I really wanted a big size like his on our team.

    I like it also and really can't see 6th rounder, 6'6", Darren Waller with 4.45 speed going to the PS and the 47th best UdFA, 5'8", De'Andre Carter with 4.45 speed making the 53 as some forward thinkers are projecting. But we have until the end of August to speculate, ya never know what's going to happen between now and then.

  5. Levine to safety? Now this speaks volumes. Even though the Ravens won't own up to it, Elam was a big mistake. He is a hole in the defense wherever he plays. Tired of the lame excuses being made for him. This year should be his last chance. He has done nothing since being drafted a #1. Whomever thought this guy was worthy of a first round pick should be fired.

    That would be the Raven's GM....something Oz, Ozzie something. Probably a new guy, don't really know. But you're correct, he should be fired. Good suggestion. ^_^

  6. I had DePriest, Perry, Wilson, Clausell, and Worthy making the team....

    WOW ...  Would like to know who your bubble players are that are not going to make the team.

    Only spots I see open are on the PS but I'll admit....one UDFA will probably make the 53.

  7. The most recent article said Engram spent a lot of time working with Waller so far in rookie mini camps.  I feel like I read somewhere that Engram really wanted Waller to be drafted by us so this might be a good sign.  Could be that Bobby sees the potential and is determined to make sure Waller makes the 53 man roster.  Either way, Engram's been great for the team so far so I'm excited about this 

    Agree. It would be extreeeeemely unlikely for the Ravens to cut a 4th round pick. Waller has so much going for him (size/speed, including no pressure to be an immediate contributor) as a situational receiver that all he really needs to do is stay healthy, get better, show sustained improvement. This draft class of receivers, both wide & tight, sets us up nicely for years to come.

  8. Tray is certainly needed; given his size & 4.5 speed, in a year or 2 perhaps he could team with Jimmy to give us two formidable corners. He'll likely get little playing time this year but he will get some. If he can make us forget we didn't draft Marcus Peters all the better. Here's hoping he shows his best.
