There should some sort of one time, monitored by you guys, page on the ravens site for us to write our condolences and heart felt comments about Holly and the Heaps. The Ravens need to make sure HH is on the helmets and/or jersey and/or field the entire season. Start that site if it's possible. I'm in IT, so I know it shouldn't be that hard lol. Travis Allen

yeah either him or davis who plays like williams but has the speed behind him. It could be a cover up for a pass rusher they may have their eye on.

So if your kid is failing at something you're not going to excite him/her to chase success and greatness? Your logic makes no sense, I'm sorry. I appreciate someone looking at the bright side like harbs do because we would fall into a pit of doom if you were our coach. We were a play away from making the playoffs. One stop! I say we're on the right path to put us back in the SB convo. Yes we have holes and place we need to fill but this isn't baseball. We have a cap which is limited. The best teams seams to never have money. Why? They try to lock up home grown players and not wildly spend. Those guys fought their hearts out for John. He hasn't lost the locker room and everyone is still confident. Why cause issues when their is none? We just need to put ourselves in a better position to win games. If that's call plays effectively, coaching or drafting. Flacco can't throw more than 35 passes. Run the ball! Lots of play action. Def need to be scrappy and physical within the rules. Get greedy. Hit everything thats moving. Send a message on every tackle. Defense need to have that cocky identity which is what ed and ray brought. Know your opponent. We start thinking like Ravens again we'll be fine.

OK, and what if all 7 of those players are on the board, and lets say for sake of example, Detroit (I picked them simply for easy math) wants to give us a 3rd rounder to move back 5 slots, as the draft chart says is approximately even.... you say we don't do it? That doesn't make ANY sense, because you can still get choice of 2 of those 7 AND another player in the top 100. First, It's highly unlikely that ALL 7 will still be on the board. But I'll play along. It's still gamble that not needed. What if we move back 2 spots? And Mike Williams turns out to be a beast. He goes to Titans who then would be another AFC team competing for a playoff spot with Ravens. Also, What if the Broncos trade with Skins. Now there are 2 AFC teams picking a player higher than you. IMO, trading back works when you already have a good team and need additional picks for depth and future. A team that missed the playoffs and have not won the divison should play the percentages and take the BPA That's wishful thinking. You don't know what those guys are going to do. Having two gives you a better change than one. We grab williams and becomes a bust. It can go both ways so it really doesn't matter. The best chance in his never will happen scenario lol is to trade a couple spots back and you still get one of the guys on your draft board and an additional pick because of the draft being really deep in what the team needs. They aren't throwing players on the board. It's a reason they are ranked the way they are on the ravens board. Williams could be 15....who knows.

they have the same teams beating the patriots and they all have yet to do so except us.....please stop the with the crap.....those teams will not beat the pats....steelers possibly but they continue to fail us smh

Completely agree with you. A big key to Joe's success which continues to go unnoticed is he HAS to stay under 32 thrown passes. I keep telling ppl that he is not a high volume passer. I can bet if you look at his record when he's under and over 32 passing attempts, he has more wins when he comes under. So what does that mean? It has to be a solid run game. If we're not running the ball and running play action passes than we should get use to losing because now we're not catering to Flacco's strengthens. He love the deep ball. How did we win the SB?! Deep passes, running the ball and PA. This formula has been proven but along the way we stop using it. I like the signing of Roman who can get the running game back on track. If we mix that in with PA passes and quick slants for our Permian and Wallace, we will be a 10 win team again but it has to balance. We can't get out there and scrap the running game or not get our line to play hard nose physical football. We need that grit. A light must flip on once that whistle blows because we need to clear holes for the RB's. Doing that will cause Joe to play like Joe Cool. Watch the offense when we went on that Super Bowl run. It was so balance and was amazing to watch

Crockett is a big guy of course he's fighting for those extra yards but that doesn't make is hands better than Pitta lol. The bigger you are the harder you fall and that's the case with Crockett. Not saying he can't ball because he can but we've seen what Pitta can do on the highest stage and he can turn into a Pro Bowl TE if he wasn't derailed by the injuries. Pitta has never been a YAC guy. He's the guy that finds the soft spots in the defense, makes contested catches and is a redzone threat which is why we haven't cut him. I think you're pumping crocket up a little to much lol.

I highly doubt Q has any animosity built up over that. It's the NFL and we all know what that means when it comes to players and contracts. It's a business. He still got his money even if it wasn't from the Ravens. Now as far as Torrey, if we didn't have Mike Wallace than yes I say we should bring him in but we do. Why would we have two of the exact same type of player? He was brought in to replace what Torrey did for us. He's also not a red zone threat. Q yes. It's not smart to waste money on past players just to have to have them. Q would be a good pickup because his leadership and production that he can bring that we lost when SSS retired. Torrey isn't needed so it's no point of entertaining that. If anything, we need to see what we get in the draft (hopefully one of the top 3 receivers) and pick up players that's still out their or have been cut. Like Ozzie said, the team will not be finished until the second game of the regular season. Trust the process. It's what gotten us 2 SB's and solid players in all areas of the draft in FA.

not even going to waste my time with the Sherman talk. He's not coming to the Ravens and I think he'll stay in Seattle.

Completely dependent on another team paying that price. If I were another team, I'd just wait a year, give you nothing, and sign him myself. He's getting a big contract regardless, and so that's factored in to the price tag. If this deal were a year or two ago, we probably could have gotten a 2nd rounder for him. But factored into the cost of the trade is the cost the other team has to pay for the new contract... OR... the risk of not being able to sign him to an extension. Maybe Jernigan's agent told teams that his client wouldn't sign an extension regardless. If so, that certainly drops his trade value a ton, because he's a one year rental to most teams at that point. Exactly what I said. No one is going to give you two high draft picks for a guy everyone knows is leaving the following year. The eagle trade makes sense because they still have a third pick but get timmy. Ravens just jump 25 spots which is golden because they can get a starter caliber player.

1st Rd - WR 2nd Rd - OLB 3rd Rd RB 3rd Rd CB 4th Rd OT 5th Rd OLB 6th Rd CB 7th Rd DE wishful thinking here dont mind me lol

We did not give up Timmy and two picks to get a third rd pick. From what I read yesterday we still get a comp pick for him when he signs a new deal. Eagles are taking on his contract so they don't get the comp pick because they didn't draft him I'm assuming. So we only gave up timmy and swapped picks to move up 25 spots.

I don't know about that. Everyone knew that Timmy wasn't going to stay past this year so I HIGHLY doubt someone is giving up two draft picks for him. The pick we got makes sense because for one we get something for Timmy. The Eagles when because they get a good player and still have a 3rd rd pick. We win because we move up 25 spots which is huge because the draft is really deep on defense. We don't know what Timmy will be this season because he's inconsistent. He has the potential but we only saw glimpses of it. I think the guys we have can make up for it and do more. Henry started eating at Timmy's reps so that's saying something. No way a team is going to give up 2 picks for Timmy whose playing for a contract year. He would still be on the team if that's the case. Eagles have a chance to resign if he does play well. If not, he'll be somewhere else. Overall I hated the trade because I like Timmy but it was a really good trade because this time we're not losing a good player because of contract reasons. We get something out of him and can get something now in this years draft instead of 2019.

I don't think Flacco is elite but I do believe if he had the weapons like Ryan, Big Ben, Luck, Carr, Dalton and those guys, we would be considering him as an elite QB. We need to do a better job at drafting receivers. We bring in a really good 1k receiver and a DB that's durable on defense, I think we can make a run in the playoffs.

LOL nice try. Aiken was the 5th target, and he's been in the league 5 years, and he's getting outplayed by a rookie... to the tune of almost 4 yards/catch. That's how you end up with 170 yards less... with just four less catches. Yikes... that's bad. And that's why he signs a one year deal in FA in a bad WR market. You're gonna have to come up with something better than catches bud. This ain't a PPR fantasy league. agreed
