Dorota

I don't think any teams are using 3 TEs often. Probably because it won't work because TEs does not have the speed of WRs. It would work on short yardage gains but would falter during the whole game. 3 TEs are easier to cover than 3 WRs because there is less speed and less spreading of defense. Also 3 TEs would tired out quickly because they are bigger than WRs, making is easy to cover them which is why TEs are rotated.

Thanks for the insight We do still need some deep threats, well aware of that. Will relieve us from blitz heavy defenses some. Just thinking it would be good to leverage what we have in them.

Yes, I agree we need deep threats badly till Perriman comes back. If we cannot find one soon, I hope Flacco throws a 50 yards bomb successfully to Givens which would make teams back off.

Well, we got our butt whopped. And lost three linebackers while at it. That's four down this season Slightest comfort is that nothing went up the middle except the one where they got lucky with our blitz play-call, however still sucks bigtime.

sad to hear.

its always hard to overcome injuries especially when it all happens to 1 position group.

So it's even worse than we thought. We didn't lose 2 LBs yesterday, but 3. All OLB. The last one found out today she broke her arm Leaves us no rotation at all. Honestly, it's the pride that hurts most. We won every single game last season. This year we won just one, drew one and downhill from there. Yesterday hurt, because for the first time, defense really sucked. PBC only have 3-5 offense plays they run over and over, but execute them better than we can defend them as injury...

Agreed. If you can snap like that and KO someone when under influence, you need help and temper management so you prevent it happening again. Honestly, who hasn't thought of punching someone once in a blue moon. The only difference is whether you can control yourself or can't. So Ray really has to sort himself out.

But beating your kids until it shows, doing it to the little ones too and with recurrence... Anyone tell me hitting a kid in the head is safe.

Maybe I'm wrong...

damn, cut me off:

but the fact that two incidents of beating kids pop up in the last year, plus the fact that when his other kid died last year he didn't break a sweat and could continue to play unaffected, then the fact that he manages to have same year old kids with different mothers and the fact that he doesn't show remorse or shame for what he did paint a really disturbing personality profile in my head.

PS: Another video with message exchange between AP and the other kid's mom on the incident that never happened (including pictures) http://deadspin.com/adrian-peterson-accused-of-beating-another-son-leaving-1635102727

Schaub caused us the game with those picks

Refs cost us the game with a bad call that retracted a touchdown. Whole of offense cost us the game, because they couldn't convert 1 yard to get a first down on three attempts a couple yards from the end zone. Sure, he could have thrown it better, but both the passes were deflected and that's piss-poor luck. Our guys could have caught it as well as their guys. That's not ONLY on Schaub.

you are right

Hahahahahahah, I'd do that. My grandparents and them are pen pals. Unfortunately, genuine Ravens jersey is one that I haven't been able to acquire overseas T-shirt, baseball cap, etc, I could, but not a jersey. At Harpies we only wear our uniforms for matches, so if I could get my hands on C.J. Mosley's one (I play ILB with #57), I'd practice in that.

Hmmm, did you try the NFL web site and try to order online? I thought the NFL is a world wide brand. Try emailing the Ravens http://www.baltimoreravens.com/contact-us.html and ask for help, am sure they will try to help you get Mosley's jersey.

Thanks, I'll take a look and once I have some money again, I might get one Customs are a pain though!

TDubbs, I use a mouthguard all the time. Yeah, the helmet should be better, it was borrowed, I'll figure something out, because I'm not even training in that one again.

Take care girl, football is a tough game.

Good on ya but that's why I watch instead of play. I value my life and health more.

(Contact) flag will have to do.

Stay safe.

I agree, even SSS loves to block. I think you're right, Tate is better. I too don't like receivers who puts themselves above the team.

Or any player for that matter. Without a team he couldn't be a player. It's tough, but a team comes first. Of course, whenever we have a new linebacker with Harpies, I'm worried for my spot, but will still extend a helping hand, cheer their successes and work that much harder on myself.

That's true, agreed.

Just a joke

Lmao

I had a friend with the same issue, tough to come back from. At this point I have to believe in the staff and the rehab we have in place for Dorota. It's part of the game, players play hard and get hurt. This is what we sign up for. Hope to have her by the season opener

Thanks guys for the advice. Camp is over, hamstring held up, so I feel happy. Bruised up, bashed up, face mask prints in purple and blue over my fingers, someone's cleat print on my hip, everything in my body hurts and I never felt so content Need to work on my flat out speed and shiftiness, but made a lot of progress on reading the play, so got more tackles at line of scrimmage. First season of women's gridiron season coming up in two weeks, can't wait!

The play on words.. My bad sassy pants

I hope that she isn't Late for Work, as in, that her article isn't published later than usual. Which is also the name of the article at the same time. You see, for you, it's published right around 9:30 AM, but for me it's already 3:30 PM and I've been waiting all day long for any articles about football.

SARAH!!! Where's my read? Late for Work?

give em hell dorota

Typically about 3-4 hours from Baltimore! Safe travels!

With Joe? I'd be blessed! 3-4 hours is not too far

wow we are born in the same year and have the same nickname lol thats really cool.

Is it a lingerie football league?

@BloodRaven. Nope. Regular women's football. Full contact, proper tackles.

We won and won! I could have done better, but I didn't have any major errors and haven't missed any of my direct responsibilities. No one got past the middle

Lol, I know. Not bad. Good access to New York City, Atlantic City and not bad to Baltimore either! Might check out Boston too while I'm at it. Have a friend living in Pittsburgh, but not sure there is anything I want to see. ....And I can go watch Ravens when they play Jets or Giants easily!

Just be careful at what you do in AC.

good luck dorota make it work

Where were you staying in Prague? I love it here too.

I don't remember, but it was one or two stops from the center. It was a pretty nice hotel and we were on a group tour. Could have been a Novotel. We also liked Budapest as this was part of our tour.

I've played football in Budapest and have seen a little of the view from the team bus, but unfortunately, didn't get to visit it as a tourist yet. Going again in May, but again for football

I went to the US as au pair in February, but blew my disc out and couldn't do the job. And as you do not have automatic health coverage for all, or complete health coverage for doctors' visits, I had to come back. The health program the au pairs are offered only covers emergencies and when I called to check whether my back would be treated for free, I was told "No way Jose!" So I came home, where I don't have to pay every single dollar of what I earn for doctors.

Just wait, it's only going to get worse, sadly

I hope not. I've already seen, that Americans often send sick kids to school, because you don't get any employee rights or 4 weeks of holidays like we do, or the doctors, so the kids don't get taken to the doc and the parent just cannot afford to stay home with the kids.

If I click on edit after posting, I can format, or if I want to quote someone. But if I just write a comment under the article, it comes out unformatted.

hmmm might have ask a mod about that

Good idea, I'll do that.

Me too. I'm listening to the conf now and gotta love the guy. He's funny and really sophisticated and smart. I am hugely impressed. Ray Lewis might be the passionate speaker, but with Ed, I understand exactly what he's saying, he's easy to follow and he has a lot to say and he's right.

I missed it too, I wish I got into football a lot sooner, all my family besides my mom was never into sports

Watching Ed and Ray in their primes was truly amazing. 2 of the GOAT at their positions.

I don't think the detroit job is good no matter how talent they have every year they end up being mediocre. Respect to caldwell but he had an ideal colts team and couldn't win the big one with them after dungy left him a great team.

I agree. Detroit needs character and consistency more than anything - that's Caldwell. I'm also anxious/excited for us, it means change.

Detroit forum is exploded with fury after hearing Caldwell as their HC...

when its not posted to the site after 10:0.. dare i say... the writers are... late for work?

Good one! Where is today? Sarah, I'm depending on you!

How long does it take for the articles allow comments? I thought it was about 15 minutes...

wow never heard of that before

Need is the mother of invention We have a new football field we are gradually repairing and the lights are what is still missing, so October practice will be fun. Probably next time we'll just go somewhere else.

That sounds like fun!

looks like he's been busy - https://www.google.com/search?q=OJ+Brigance&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8#q=OJ+Brigance&tbm=nws&tbs=qdr:m - his 5K run for ALS is next weekend

Thanks.

I would run that if I were in the US. 5.7K is doable.

Cool, anyone know the links which we fans can place a vote? Maybe you can mention it on one of news stories and provide a link for Ravens fans to vote. Looks like a good chance all 3 will win for week 4.

It's all on the NFL.com front page Justin Tucker - can't imagine he wouldn't be a win. Watched the Justin Forsett highlights and they look even better than just watching him play. Za'Darius Smith made sure we didn't lose the game at least on one point (the Bell tackle not on the highlight reel), but not sure how much the unbiased football fan will notice.

Got it, thank you.

lets make an appreciation thread for Sarah to encourage her work...

I'm all for it Send me a link and I'll support her. Her articles are funny and informative and the best overview of what's going on. Also, first thing to pop-up EST morning, meaning that I get to read them before I leave work in Europe, so looking forward to them all day.

I like Sarah Ellison. She does a good job. Yes, funny at times too. Good idea to make an appreciation thread for her. I am sure she will like that.

congrads

that sounds cool

Thanks guys!

Mr. Nobody - I do. I played soccer for years. It's not that complicated. I can kick penalties too. Tried to kick the football last night with my first special teams practice and that seemed to work ok (shoot straight and up) too

Some hope maybe.... If I ain't a good housewife I have to be good at something else and I am plenty woman

I hope this works....

Probably the same one that told me I should go watch table tennis, sweetie. Then I schooled him hahaha

Possibly Not making himself any fans
