I'm so curious to see what we get out of Mike Wallace. He was a home run hitter with the Steelers and the insurance policy for Breshad Perriman that we didn't have last year. I remember being astonished when the Steelers let him leave in favor of Antonio Brown. He would have been a nice compliment to Kamar Aiken or Steve Smith last year.

Kamar Aiken has the mentality, but he just doesn't quite have the same Anquan Boldin skill set. Sometimes persistence and determination are not enough, you have to have some talent too.

I'll take under on both.

Certain players are irreplaceable. Someone else takes their spot, but it's never quite the same. Steve Smith and Terrell Suggs make this team exponentially better by their mere presence alone. They are the rare type of people you find in every profession that just seem to make everyone else around them better. If they can't play the Ravens will move on and be fine, but that doesn't make them replaceable.

I am more optimistic that Steve Smith Sr. will recover from his torn Achilles then Bershad Perriman will recover from bumping his knee--even with the new haircut. P.S. I cannot wait to see what we'll get out of Mike Wallace. He's done. Justin Forsett/Buck Allen/Kenny Dixon. It doesn't even make sense that they would keep him right now. I like the experiment, but it has failed.

Last time they went 5-11 they followed it up with an 11-5 season. You just can't predict one year's record based on the previous year's record, but if you want to try the trend suggests the Ravens follow-up losing seasons with winning seasons--they haven't had back-to-back losing seasons under Billick or Harbaugh. Draft position is designed to bring parity. Our draft picks in 2008 made a huge impact on the field. Our draft picks in 2006 made a huge impact in different ways. When you draft high you draft impact players.

Sergio Kindle, KYLE BOLLER, Michael Oher. Remember what this forum looked like when Branden Trawick took out Jacoby on that kick return... or when Lee Evans dropped that pass in the end zone... or when TJ Houshmandzadeh did the same thing.

Will Hill and Will Davis looked good... Not saying things are wonderful but I am optimistic... The Ravens are making the playoffs.

I hate to see Asa Jackson go. I thought he really showed some potential last preseason and the Ravens need some depth behind Webb. I still think all he needed was some game time...

I received a lot of red in this forum when I said that except for Smith Sr. and Perriman we have a lot of receivers who might be number threes at best, but now it seems the writers agree... hmmm...

"James Hurst took over at the spot..." if Hurst learns to back up right tackle Jah Reid is out the door.

Question six says a lot. I hope this guy retires a Raven.

That's a lot of big names on defense... If two guys (i.e. Brent Urban, Kapron Lewis-Moore) show up as big as they flashed last year it might be hard for offenses to do ANYTHING against that group... Never thought I'd say this, but we just traded away Haloti Ngata and got better.

Seems ugly and odd to see Dennis Pitta 6th on the depth chart at TE... In my opinion, he is one, two, or retired.

That was what I was thinking. Even if the officials can't use those cameras due to some league regulation or something, I bet they will take a peek at that big screen and make their decisions more carefully so they aren't called out for making the wrong call on Monday morning.
