    Some of that can be attributed to our lack of a run game. Those other teams you speak of probably have a decent balance of run/pass and maybe even have a qb that can pick up a few yards on their own so defenses respect that. No one respected the Ravens play calling this season. Defensive coordinators knew the odds were in their favor to send more than 3 guys at Flacco. They knew that because of his knee and possibly coaching he chooses to go to the ground more often than scramble. Joe used to run like a damn stallion in his early years. I think the coaching staff or maybe his angent told him to stop running. I dont know. So while everyone talks about how bad our line was or how bad flacco played I think it really came down to stubborn Tressman and his refusal to make adjustments and run the ball even when behind. Those of us who have watched many many football games remember that often the greatest comebacks are a product of the losing team refusing to abandon the run. Just methodically sticking to the plan. Teams that panick and throw the ball 60 times rarely comeback. I hope Marty is a better play caller than Marc. Balance is the key. Whether it seems to be working or not

    I can agree with that.

    Bruh, Flacco is one annoying creature. Don't hold your breathe, he won't be taking any such proactive steps anytime soon. Personally, I know Flacco is a great player...WHEN HE WANTS TO BE. Playoff game he shows up, game on the line he mostly shows up...heck I believe if we had the ball with a minute and change left at Pitt, Flacco probably wins that game too. Problem is; why can't he play with the same focus and intensity consistently? How come he is able to find open receivers in those pressure moments but sleep-walks his way through most of the game? I've seen talented people like Flacco who are seemingly bored with life and only get going when there's a boot up their behinds. Flacco desperately needs a coach with a size 14 boot constantly lodged in Joe's behind. He needs to be called out before, during and after the game, constantly pressured to be great or he'll always veer back into his default snooze mode, and making rare appearances in big moments.

    While I understand that you might be frustrated... Maybe you should put in an application for the job.   I would have just a word of advice, As they say at M&T....  Don't be a jerk......  You might not like the guy...  and that's fine.  It's your opinion.  But you have to look at more than what you believe to be the problem here.

    no running game b/c OC/HC abandons it, so what u do is hire another coach to fix it, wow,

    When a defense is consistently stuffing your RB, and you're behind, you don't fire your HC or OC.   You find a better line that can create creases or a RB that can move around, has patience and can make something out of a run....  Me Personally?????  I like Dixon better than West.....

    If he was better than Zuttah, he would long be the starting C. If he's not an upgrade over Zuttah then why replace Zuttah with him?

    I don't know if that was the case.  I just get sick of seeing that pocket collapse and people getting to Joe all the time.  When you don't see that happening with other teams....  It seems as though some of those guys have all day long.

    I think if either fournette or cook falls to us, Ravens will sweep him up in a hurry. The o-line wasn't amazing but it still wasn't bad. Also, don't forget that alex lewis missed last 8 or so games due to injury so once he returns, the line should be: Stanley, Lewis, Zuttah, Yanda, Wagner (if he resigns). Zuttah should be the one we look to upgrade and the o-line will no longer be a weakness. A top rb will take off a lot of pressure on flacco which will help him a lot. 

    YUP, we need a new Center...  Urschel who has been the backup...  Could he be a replacement?

    And just to be clear... there's basically nothing wrong with Weddle's deal for 2017. He's going to be back and it almost certainly will be under the same deal. Has a very reasonable $5.75M cap hit and a very reasonable salary of $4M. I can't see any reason the Ravens would want to change either part of that. 

    If there's somehow a decent decline in his production, then 2018 could be different. He costs $2.5M more then, up over $8M. 

    With Wallace its a bit different. His cap number more than doubles this season, and while I think he was definitely a productive player and we could use him, I'm not sure he's going to produce double the value.

    I think its possible that we decline his option and MAYBE look to sign him to an extension at a lower cap number in the short term. Conventional wisdom says this may not be the smartest move, considering he and Perriman play similar roles and its probably not a good idea to look to lock up a 30 year old speed WR long term.

    My hunch is that he will be back in 2016 as is and it will likely be the final year he is here.

    Absolutely nothing wrong with his deal...  or Wallace's.   We'll see what happens with Wallace now that Steve is gone.

    Im ok with roman as long as we fire juan and weddle is so OVERPAID

    WEDDLE:  $13M guaranteed for 4 years. $26 overall.

    For 2016... Base was $1M; Signing Bonus @1.75M; and Roster Bonus of $1M....

     

    WALLACE .....  two years and $11.5 million. The deal is really for one year and $5.75 million with an option for another season worth $5.75 million. 

    Wallace got $4.5 million signing bonus to sign in Baltimore with a $1 million bonus due in March of 2017.


    Problem is people want us to bring in good players, then they don't think they deserve to get paid.... I'm not thinking this guy was overpaid this year.... Not for all the leadership he brings to this team. $3.75M? I think he's worth every penny.

    I kwow football but you don't have two ,to see our coaches cost us games every year those are FACTs from a smart fan not a troll and if someone doesn't see that you don't know football

    That's EVERY team... not just ours.  Folks act like we are onerous and these issues are only specific to the Ravens.  They aren't...  ask Tomlin.  Ask Any other HC.

    Any plan to motivate Joe to play like he did before he signed his mega-contract and lost all financial incentives? If so I'm sure everyone will be extremely interested.

    Not fair to imply Joe isn't giving it his best, especially given the huge injury he sustained. Have you forgotten that, even after that injury, he stayed in the game for two more plays just to try to keep the drive going? Basically with one working leg??

    Instead, how about wishing for an offensive line that can give him more than 1.2 seconds to throw the ball, and that can occasionally open up running lanes? And maybe some receivers who can get open and actually catch the ball?

    basically the whole off. scheme and playbook needs an overhaul. watching the gb/giants game the other day made me realize how far behind our offense is. our schemes and routes the receivers run do not even compare to gb. their receivers are spread out all over the field while ours seem to end up in the same general area. they come back to the ball and are aware of where rodgers is in case he needs to be bailed out.

    They also have had O-Line issues this year and were slow to start this season. They flew under the radar for most of the latter part of the season. They are now healthy, and are looking fantastic. GB is my second favorite team.

    we are a head coach OC DC away from playoffs

     

    We should just get rid of everyone and completely start over.  That would solve all of our problems.

    This Is an offensive league so I don't really blame the defense, at the end of the day the offense needs to score points and stay on the field to protect the defense. Why pay Flacco all that money if you want the defense to protect the offense? Tell Flacco to give half of that money he got and maybe they can build a defense. And I know people will start naming all these other QB's that got paid, well look at where there teams are, at home just like the Ravens and look at where they're ranked in QB ratings. Until that happens the Ravens will always be a 8-8 team or even worse. Only a hand full a QB's should get paid that amount of money because they can actually carry a team. Ravens shot themselves in the foot again when they extended Flacco's contract which set the team back again another 4 years. Ozzie has really been slipping lately.

    I am sorry that you are unable to dictate the going rate for QBs in the league. There seems to be a misunderstanding of even basic Economic concepts here. And unfortunately, that is not surprising.

    I am sorry you consider flacco an actual qb.......he's not worth wut he's getting paid........except on paper.....he looks sooooooo good on paper......totally agree wit steelraven here......but in reality its our below par head coach and Gutless front office which i am sure You think is jus peachy also........SMH

    I am not sure if you read my post but if you get a chance point me to the place where I said anything about Joe Flacco or his skill level.

    He's a constant subject for this guy... regardless of the topic, the Joe bashing just goes on and on. And let's not forget the coaching. Some folks I just can't understand. They seem to be here for one reason, and that's not to root to the home team.

    he is average at best he got flacco hurried on numerous occasions he is no Ogden he is a consistent Oher and we all know how that turned out he is solid but I wish we would have gotten hargraves CB at 6 but I don't see stanley being a franchise LT hope we finally draft a good CB this year with 1st round pick

    Glad Ozzie make the picks and not you!

    so your happy with the bums that he picks I'm not can't wait for ozzie to be fired

    Most of us are pretty happy with the guys Ozzie picks. We've had some great seasons. And really good guys... I mean afterall, Ozzie did pick Ogden, Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, among many others like Chris McAlister, and got guys like Shannon Sharpe, Derrick Mason, Todd Heap... and the list goes on and on.... SMH... I'm just amazed at how people live their lives completely ticked off about everything and everybody now a days.

    Mason drafted by the Titans...Ozzie traded for him...

    Correct.... Ozzie brought him in. Just like he has done with so many people.... like Watson and Weddle too.

    No, you're just hearing what you want to hear. That's the difference between us. I actually listened to what he said. I didn't hear what he said, then twist his words to fit whatever narrative you're trying to push.

    We can have an eye test or statistical conversation... QB rating or QBR aren't a part of either of those discussions. You do realize that when you reference QBR you are referencing a statistic that you 100% have no idea how its calculated right? You're putting your faith in a statistic that you quite literally know nothing about. How intelligent does that sound to you?

    The difference between you and I is that I realized long ago that it doesn't matter if I like it or not. Its one thing to have a discussion about somebody not playing up to their contract when there's actually something the team can do about it. That's not even remotely the case with Joe. 

    The reality with Joe is he needs to play better. There's nothing else that needs to be said. Its not about how much he's paid compared to his peers, because that doesn't matter. Its not about who's "elite" or any of the nonsensical subjective terms clowns want to throw out to push whatever narrative they want.

    I feel like there's a lot of players on this team that are handcuffing our ability to be a better team based on their contract and their performance. And I complain about a lot of those players, because we have the ability to change that. With Joe, we do not. We're not dating, and we're not engaged. We are married, and neither of us can afford or want a divorce for awhile.

    The only thing that fans can do is accept it. They have no other choice at this point.

    Correct Jacket.

    Any thing to take a shot at Flacco...

    I think he was simply taking up for Harbaugh.  Which I agree with him on.  There's a reason that Payton is on the hotseat.  He's done no better than Harbs as the coach for the Saints.  Their defense is a whole lot worst than ours.  My nephew plays for them; and was set to start at Safety and tore his ACL in the first game. I'm much rather have Harbaugh.

    You seem to have forgotten the 2005 Ravens. The team was 5-11 (I believe), but just as importantly, the coaches (plural) had lost control of the team, both in the locker room and on the field. The defense was totally out of control, and a significant part of the blame goes to Rex Ryan. Rex did good at NY for two years, and has failed the next 5! Sorry, we don't need more of Rex.

    Ravenpic made that comment.  I in no way want Rex back here.  I don't believe he is he answer at all.
