As fans if we knew going into this year it was a rebuilding year we would understand the growing pains BUT Super Bowl was in the discussion. First off Pees I think needs to go and bring in some fresh aggressive coach. Why go man to man with a player like Green ? You bring a blitz inside the 10 ??? You have to be held accountable if your D is costing us games. Next we miss SPEED on offense that's why we have no running game. Defenses are once again stacking the box. Pretty much why Smith is getting a ton of passes. Lastly I think the Bust tag can already be thrown out on Perriman, not for his play but looks to me injury prone. Between Pees play calling and having no speed of O is why were 0 - 3 and on the brink.

"Schedule is predetermined years in advance for the most part. Its not a valid excuse." True but not the home games and away games for that season. Not making excuses just stating facts. That got dealt a bad hand as far as the schedule goes.

Hardest schedule EVER. @denver @oakland Cincy @pitt short week browns @9ers @ cards chargers. REALLY ! first 2 out west then 3 tough AFC north bloodbaths then back out west and then come home to a good charger team. UNREAL ! Really my best scenario will be 4 and 4 and that means they have to go 6 - 2 in the second half just to be in the conversation for a wild card. Don't think they can do it that Raider game loss was huge.

I don't care what team you are this schedule is brutal and it just gets harder .... what up with that ??????? BRUTAL!

I really don't play the blame game BUT what in the world is the NFL thinking giving the Ravens this type of schedule ??? Has to be the hardest schedule in the history of schedules. Other then that Joe has to make that throw to Smith has to. Joe stop lofting passes that's a bad habit in this league.

This guy has a motor and plays hard. He'll fit into the Raven way just fine. Love the signing.

my main concern is Steve wearing down its a long season and Steve wore down last year. We need him down the stretch. Not worried about injury, its football.

Upshaw is going to be a beast.

Ravens have a powerful offensive line , NOT an athletic one. Last year they had problems with speed outside rushers. They do need Perriman back ASAP even if he's used as a decoy. Need the threat to open up the running game and to spread out the D. The D played great and I loved what I saw from them. Suggs will be missed more so on the leadership role then player. Even he said he's on the back 9 of his career. I think the rookie and Upshaw will fill the void. On the leadership role I think its Jimmy Smith time. I think this week is a huge game. If they struggle and still win I'll be concerned IF they lose I'll be even more concerned. They have to duplicate what the Cincy did its as simple as that.

The key piece is KO, if he comes back in beast mode look out our line will be dominant. K

Last year Tampa had no identity on offense so I don't put to much stock in his ranking. Great deal and a major upgrade saw that he ran under 5.0 in the forty. Oz does it again in my book.

Great pick up by Wizard of Oz . I'm sure Ray Rice said go for it since they together at Rutgers. Nothing like a multi offensive lineman. Draft a stud right tackle and I think this line will be good going forward with great depth.

Guys were SOOOOO lucky to have an owner & GM like we do. It all starts from the top. Have a great draft and be in the hunt once again.

Ozzie didn't plan on Pitta getting hurt when he got rid off Boldin and his 6 million salary. No way we sign Canty and Domerville if we kept Boldin. Can't have it all.

My wish list now is sign Will Montgomery, draft either Lewan or Martin and hold off on FS until the summer.

best free agent signings are your own players. Monroe, Pitta , Jones , Smith & Miles and Steve Smith is just an extra. Great job Ozzie.

Might be 35 but plays like he's a lot younger. Stays in great shape and plays football like it should be. Great signing Ozzie keep up the good work..... Welcome to the Ravens, Steve.

I would take Edelman or Smith in that order. Also maybe look into Carlos Rodgers to replace Graham. Wonder if Jim would put in a good word for him ?

Happy for Graham good player, but not 4 years 16 million. Asa time to step up !

Next up Daryl Smith and Graham.

If Ozzie can get Steve Smith, Alex Mack and Daryl Smith signed, Baltimore should petition for Ozzie Newsome day.

the beauty with this deal is that Monroe could very well be here for the full 5 years. A team / player friendly contact imagine that what a concept. Best front office in all of sports.

Headline: Ravens get Monroe at discount. Ozzie does it again. Welcome back Monroe !

Not good , Browns just OVER PAID for Dansby 4 years 24 million , same age as Smith. Way too much coin I would say re signing Smith is slim to none now.

Smith would be like a mini Boldin, tough and a chain mover. I like it for a year or 2.
