Kenneth Dixon had 802 carries.
Ezekiel Elliot had 592 carries.
David Johnson had 850 carries
Le'Veon Bell had 671 carries
Jay Ajayi had 678 carries
DeMarco Murray had 759 carries

Thank you! I was about to post this. Some people just talk to talk lol 

"Hoodie like" move if Ozzie pulls this off. Pats do it all the time.

There's a 30 year old, fresh legged running back out there, who is 10 times better than any one the Ravens currently have or will get. However, is now black balled by the newly, squeaky clean Ravens, who clearly, obviously care more about their newly found PC reputation than they do about winning. Check out their pathetic record since he left.

Lol wait... ray rice?

" Correa won the ILB spot....."

Patently untrue. He was taking first team reps for a few weeks...Orr won the spot.

In fact, Correa was behind McClellan  ultimately.

And peanut onwasaur. Correa wasnt even active most games.

I know. I just don't get it. Was Shareece a bad guy who went against what coaches asked? This board rejoiced his departure. Zuttah plays while injured for us and is a really good guy. It's Webb. It's not Ed Reed or Ray Lewis. His time on the field was up. Not sure what it is with Webb but the attachement here is strong. And I promise y'all I'm not trying be all Sami here. 

Completely agree bro. 

I really hope this doesn't make cam Robinson our first round pick. Love him as a prospect but would rather see us grab Taco, Harris, TaK McKinley Barnett etc or one of those corners.

Couldn't sound like more of a Donkey if you tried. Which I'm assuming you must be. You have taken the torch

Calling everybody "fans" like he isn't one. Lol comical. 

Crazy. We can keep free agents. We can't keep a forum. Lol soon we are gonna lose the team. Jk

I created a "playmaker" thread months ago and got crushed. Not BR puts it up and everybody is all over it lmao.

The people who complain about his price tag are the same people that cant comprehend the meaning of market value.

Agreed, I mean look at osweiler, Fitzpatrick etc. We are in a tough position but at this point our only option is to get Joe playing better which I think will happen.

I agree I think Flacco gets too much of the blame. 

1. He was rushed back from his torn ACL/MCL. Knee was not 100% all year and even admitted to it. Missed a good chunk of the offseason.

2. Had 2 rookies starting on the left side of the offensive line early on. Offensive line did not perform well in a bunch of games that Flacco had to continually hurry and dump it off.

3. Steve Smith Sr. missed two games for sure I know plus two others that he got injured in early and left the rest of the game (not sure if I would go as far as half a season). And it is sad that a 37 year old is the team's #1 weapon. No offense to Steve Smith I think he is top 10 all time at his position easily, but that proves the team's lack of ability to draft receivers.

4. Mike Wallace's first year as a Raven. Breshad Perriman was the #3 and it was basically his rookie season. He still hasn't completed a full offseason and was still the team's #3. Pitta came back after two seasons of being out. Where would Flacco find chemistry at all with players that either have yet to play with him in the NFL or have been out of the NFL for so long? You can maybe argue Pitta since they are friends, but he is coming off of two hip surgeries. You can also argue that Flacco has not yet played with Dixon and West that long. Dixon is a rookie. West didn't become a Raven until later in the 2015 season when Flacco was mostly injured.

5. Kamar Aiken had a terrible season in limited action. Which proves the team was smart to not sign him to a few year deal last offseason after his breakout campaign.

6. New season, new offensive coordinators. Harbaugh admitted to not liking what Trestman put in place during the offseason. I wish he would have ended Trestman's reign before he did so Marty could have put more of his system in place. Never good when a OC is calling another OC's offense. 

 

I could go on but why can't anybody else see these red Flags? The only real continuity Flacco had all season was Steve Smith Sr. from last season and an ineffective Kamar Aiken. Steve Smith was injured for awhile too which gave Aiken plenty of time to prove that 2015 wasn't an outlier, but failed to do so. I don't understand why this is a difficult concept to grasp. Not saying Flacco is god but the guy is human what was he able to really work with?

Well said. The only issue with that is joe's price tag. That's why most aren't trying to hear it.

look how easy the steelers generate offense. We cant dream of that.

Yeah each formation is a legit run and passing formation making their O completely unpredictable. Smh.

We can definitely agree to disagree. Not blaming Wallace, but he's replaceable. His season was of product of Joe slinging it for a ridiculous amount of times. He wasn't a game changer out there. I'm a firm believer that Perriman can have the same success next season given that role.  

I don't understand how you can think we'd be better without Wallace. Our offense is terrible and you want to take away one of the few bright spots we had. That's crazy smh. 

I really wonder how much of what we saw was truly Marty's scheme. That's what has me conflicted about this. I mean his sutuation is the definition of being thrown into the fire. 

Silver lining is that we might get pick 12 or so with some help.

I am.  I know there's been some improvement, but not enough to where there's any reason I'd think we should move forward with him.

It's tough to say considering he most likely used trestmans book. Do you think he'd do better implementing his own system?

I'm not so sure Wr is a MAJOR need. I mean of course it would be ideal to add a another solid receiver but forking up a bunch of bread for Alshon would backfire in my opinion. Fix the online, get a corner or 2, grab a pass rusher.

Let me get this straight - we're talking about the same Cordarelle Patterson who has yet to get above 500 receiving yards on a season, right?  The same guy who was benched last year because he couldn't even line up on the field correctly?  If we're talking about him as a kick returner, sure, I'd love him.  I'm not convinced you watch football if you see Patterson as #1 WR, or even having the tangibles of such.

I agree. Patterson has been a major disappointment on a team where he was set up to get PT. He'd be a returner here at best.

if your 4 rushers cant beat their 5 blockers , you are in trouble.

if their 3 rushers can beat your 5 blockers , you are also in trouble.

you can scheme all you want, in the end its the players who need to get it done.

This is sooooo true. And it looks like we rarely "pinned our ears back" this season. On pass plays we'd stalemate the OL like it was a run play. This is why we saw so many qbs have 5-6-7 seconds to throw. How do you win like that?

As much as I like Dixon I'm hoping we can land a real difference maker at RB. Hopefully fournette falls but knowing us we'd probably pass on him too and draft some project.

This is a big factor that not enough people are mentioning.  Pass rush didn't get there at all today.

All season really with the exception of a few games. 

Is Jernigan out there?

Getting out outcoached early. Not a good sign for a team that doesn't adjust well.

Folks keep mentioning Bell. He never worried or impressed me at all. He is slow and has such a huge delay before he decides where he wants to go. Our defense is so fast towards the ball that he becomes a non issue as always against us. I wish folks, even our own Baltimore fans would give the team some credit. We do a lot of things so well but the few things we do wrong are always the talk and it gets old. 

Bell had a single game with over 100 yards against us, yeah he always hurts us. Here are the stats i am going by.

Bell's stats

I know us as fans hate the steelers but bell is a stud. I do agree that our game plan against him helps us contain him but I'm for sure worried about him every time we play him.
