Watch kickers before the game. They all can make kick after kick from any distance. The difference between a guy like Cundiff and a guy like Tucker is ability to perform under pressure. Why did we draft Boller in the first round? It was because of his natural ability. Why was Brady drafted in the 6th round. Some players play a lot better than their talent and others a lot worse.

So teams are getting rid of their message boards and NFL viewership was down what ? 15 percent last year? What is the goal down 50 percent?

The Ravens should really see how well the Orioles reporters on MasnSports cover the Orioles. It is the first place I look for Orioles news and two writers who provide at least daily articles on the team. Biscotti has had it easy as the team had been winning in the past. If the team continues to be losers like the last two seasons the casual fans like the ones who post on Facebook will stop attending games. The season ticket holders who sell some or most of their tickets will stop buying tickets if they can't recoup some of their expense. With the Orioles, the Capitals and Wizards all winning there will be more competition for sports fans dollars.

The Ravens send out a daily email with what is on the site so no reason to visit. No way I would pay. This isn't someone's personal site this is the Ravens official message board. Biscotti has made 100's of millions off the Ravens and my tax dollars already subsidizes the team. If he doesn't want to pay the minimal money it costs to run this forum to promote his business why would I?

How is Kafusi a rising Sophmore? He didn't play a down,

I don't think the posters on here are bullies like the one person poste I tend to see more negativity about the players and the team. It amazes me how people quickly turn on their favorite players once injuries catch up with the player. There are not many bad football players in the NFL. Maybe a guy like Cody who was totally out of shape. But it does bother me when I hear people blasting Webb. He was great before his injuries. And for a NFL cornerback it doesn't take much drop off from being a great cornerback to a below average one. When you get burned it is pretty obvious to everyone.

Rough sport. Guys like Webb great talent who always gave it his all gone after only 8 years. He will be missed.

If it isn't about money why shut it down? The thread about Webb was started after my post. I would have started one myself but figured it would have been moved. So I didn't bother. My guess is with the two straight seasons with a winning record they don't like people on here calling for people with the team to get fired. Also so the down votes are you people serious. Who cares about down votes?this board will be closing in a couple of weeks. The people I was criticizing don't want you on their site. They think you are a nuisance.

Really this board is pretty bad. Webb gets cut and there is t even a post about it. And if someone did create a post about Webb being cut it would either be locked or merged into another thread. This board is terribly moderated and that is why it doesn't have more traffic. Why would you pay five dollars this isn't someone's personal board this is the Ravens official board. The owners gets a free stadium and has made hundreds of millions of dollars off the team. If he thinks it is too much money to have a board I think it would be better choice to stop attending games and watching them on TV.

2 years from now the Cap will be 190 million. I am sure the first couple years are less of a cap hit.

Yeah. This is probably Suggs last season and the Cap goes up every year. If you don't retain any of your draft picks after their initial contract you are going to be in pretty bad shape.

They seem to have mostly videos now. Videos with advertisements. Really don't watch them. I guess they think most Ravens fans can't read or something.

It seemed to me they never wanted this forum the way that it was run. Shutting down threads. Merging threads that had nothing to do with each other. To me this is not expected. I guess the Ravens don't like fans.

I read that when he played inside linebacker in college he struggled.

I have seen kickers kick 70 yard field goals through the uprights one after another before the game. Then in the game they can't kick 40 yard field goal attempts straight. Being a good kicker in the NFL is about handling pressure well. Tucker seems to excel at that.

Merged into a unrelated thread. The moderators on this site have to be the worst on the Internet..

Hill wasn't drafted until the fifth round. Seems like most teams passed on him. He evidently choked his pregnant girlfriend. I am glad we passed on him. The team has standards of behavior you don't believe in that. But you don't own the team so you don't get to make those choices. No research is necessary the team has a policy not to get guys with domestic abuse in their backgrounds. He has it. So he isn't going to be on the Ravens.

Here are the cap savings if we cut the player (in millions)...Who do you cut? Dummervil 6 Wallace 5.75 Webb 5.5 Wright 2.6 Zuttah 2.4 Watson 3 Pitta 3.3 Arrington 2.1 Lewis 1.8

They nailed an 8-8 season. Canty 2.6 million, Huff 2 million, and Spars 1.4 million. That is 6 million right there. They screwed up.

Yeah what if he said we could have kept Boldin if we didn't sign Michael Huff, Marcus Spears and Chris Canty? Oh wait he wouldn't say that because then he would be admitting they screwed up.

Why wouldn't you want a Left Tackle at 6? Most of the good left tackles are taken early in the first. Hopefully we won't be drafting in the top ten any time soon. Get one when you get the chance. Ogden was picked 4th overall, Mckninnie 7th overall, and Eugene Monroe 8th overall.

He wanted the Ravens to get rid of Ray Lewis about 5 years before he retired. I wrote him an email at the time about how wrong he was and he never responded. He is just a paid troll

I watched the whole press conference. I think there were to few questions to Ozzie and too much focus on Steve. He seemed to answer the same question over and over again about what is his criteria for keeping the coaches and GM. I think he did a good job but I think the press did a poor job with the questions. I do think that Steve is right. Firing coaches, firing the GM and getting a new Quaterback are the simpleton fans answers to all the problems. I mean Tressman was fired a couple of weeks and the same people who wanted Tressman fired now wanted Morningweg fired It is tiresome. Like firing a coordinator over and over again until the offense improves is the answer. Most of all I agree with most of what was said. But I do have two big disagreements. When Arthur Brown was drafted I watched all his tape and I new he wouldn't succeed at the NFL level. He was way too small and was running sideways a lot. I just didn't think he was NFL material. If I could see that with my limited knowledge I think Ozzie and company should have known better. The thing about Boldin wasn't really true. The team signed a bunch of free agents that season who didn't contribute at all. Were even cut before the end of the season. Boldin could have been afforded easily. Saying they screwed up on that one would be the appropriate response

The first time they would have any leverage with Flacco is in the 2020 season. If they cut Flacco before the 2020 season they would save 20 million dollars of cap space. If they cut Flacco before 2018 season they would lose 4 million of cap space and Flacco's cap hit would be 28 million. Flacco's contract was just extended. Flacco is your quarterback the next 3 seasons whether you like it or not and he will be taken up a large portion of the team's cap.

We don't draft best player available. We needed a Left Tackle urgently this year and we drafted one. The thing is with all the injuries you have and free agency every position besides Punter, Kicker and Quarterback is a need. You can't draft a Corner back at pick 16 if there are no first round quality Corner backs available. You can only trade up or down if that is the position you are in and you want a corner back.
