  1. I would hope after going 5 and 11 last year everyone in the organization from Headcoach down the line has a chip on their shoulder !
  2. I'm just hoping we don't look back on this draft as Ozzie's biggest missed chance. Two missed moves that help make the Jags relevant. Keeping our secondary in an underwelming status, while elevating the Jags.
  3. I have a black Ngata jersey. I will probably be buying another #92 jersey soon. Love me some Pacific Island players ! ! !
  4. If next season goes 5 & 11 instead of 11& 5, somebody may just be beamed up by Scotty !
  5. I have been thinking our secondary coaches have contributed to our biggest weakness for the last few seasons. When we let guys go and they seam to do better for other teams, that's a hint. I've also said, I don't like the idea of bend, don't break. Hopefully with new secondary coaching this season and Weddle calling plays, there is a big improvement all around.
  6. I would wonder about Norman & S.S.Sr. going head to head in one on one drills and how long it would be before there was a major throw down ! ICE UP SON !
  7. I still wish we had grabbed Diggs when he was available. Maybe the team needs to hire someone who can better evaluate DB's & WR's.
  8. I love football. Can it be a dangerous sport ? At times, yes. Life is a contact sport. None of us will get out of alive. How we choose to live our lives, is our choice. I have two sons, 14 & 12, that have played football since they were 10 & 6 years old, respectively. My older son chose not to play until he was 10. Football has tought them many life lessons, they would not normally have learned by just going to school. In a day when mothers are afraid to let their kids play out on the streets, and with good reason, football is for my son's, an outlet for exercise, and has taught them how to become mentally tough. It has taught them how to listen to and respect their Coaches. How to be part of a team and do what's best for that team. I have watched them grow from little boys into responsible young men in just a few years. Football has in a large part been one of the biggest defining factors in their maturation. We / they wouldn't have had it any other way.
  9. On a side note, I still can't believe Ozzie passed on Diggs last year.
  10. This just means he's not still sporting baby fat.
  11. Two of our earlier games also ended on what should have been PI penalties against our opponents. In the both games, against Crockett in the end zone . Both posable game changers !
  12. I would like to see the coaches getting more aggressive this season too. Pulling out all the stops, is the only way to attack "every" season.! Defense has been the identity of the Ravens from the beginning and that's become our weak link. Whenever defense plays like it's trying not to lose, instead of playing like it's going to dominate, that's not enough. We have gone from having league high turnover ratios to almost getting none. That, I think has more to do with coaching than individual player skills.
  13. Of course it is ! Knowing the Browns luck with QB's, they might at well take one in the second round too...!
  14. Hopeful for Perriman's full recovery and no sophomore slump ! Just kiddin, I think us fans are in for a very pleasant surprise after having two seasons of terrible numbers of injuries. Hopefully all our injured players come back strong. Going back to natural turf should help with that too !
  15. I don't know, it may just be me but does anybody else feel like the lack of rules is not the biggest problem with the NFL ? When are they going to stop putting more and more rules on part time officials, that already seam to be struggling with the rules that are in place ? I feel like the NFL needs to address this more than anything else. Full time officials could be getting more shool in off season. Maybe a panel in NY to override terrible miss calls that have game changing results.
  16. I think the league needs to make Refs full time employees. The rules are too complicated for part timers. There should also be oversight by a panel in NY to override some of the ridiculous game changing, bad calls/non calls. It's really starting to look like games can easily be swayed with all the subjective calls. Now they want to be able to manditorily throw players out of games for 2 subjective personal fouls.
  17. My heartfelt condolences to the Walker family. May God carry you through this difficult time. My hope is that Tray is with our Lord, now experiencing all the beautiful things not available to us on this earth !
  18. A black arm band with #25 on team jerseys for the 2016 season, to honor Tray would be a nice gesture !
  19. We all loved you here in Baltimore! Unfortunately we didn't have enough cap space to get into a bidding war to keep you here. I'm sure the Raiders fans will love you too, and unfortunately, we'll have to get along without you. But next man up ! Good luck in CA.
  20. The comp picks can't be traded, but can't trade other picks in and around the same rounds the comp picks are, essentially making it the same as trading our comps ?
  21. Still pissed they passed on Diggs last year !
  22. I'm pretty sure that no QB carries a team all on their own ! We would have probably won 5 more games last year with 1 more receiver and 1 ball hawking free safety.
  23. Actually for say 90 K + expenses I'd be glad to make myself available as a driver for ya Suggsy. That could save you, the team and your relationships from some embarrassing consequences. Hit me up bro ! ; )
