Wouldn't Dexter McCluster be a better choice?

--Eliminate preseason games entirely. --Start the regular season when the preseason currently starts. --Increase the number of regular season games to 18 --Add two bye weeks to the regular season. --Increase the roster size.

I'd be curious to see if offensive-minded head coaches actually produce better offenses, and if defensive-minded head coaches actually produce better defenses.

Joe will have an excellent chance to better next year because somebody better than James Hurst will be playing left tackle; and that could be almost anybody.

Not that I don't love having Justin Tucker, but you can't just sign someone to a big, long-term contract without thinking about what other part of the team you could improve with that money. If Tucker ends up wanting $4 million per year more than an average kicker, the Ravens have to ask themselves if that $4 million dollars is *best* spent on keeping Tucker, or if it would help the team more overall to put it to another use (resigning Yanda, picking up a free-agent wide receiver, etc.). I'm not sure that spending premium money on a kicker is the best decision.

I don't think Melvin's progressed to island status: How about Melvin's Isthmus?
