"Not content to just set the edge -- wants to make the play." -That is from the NFL draft prospect page on Barnett.

That is EXACTLY the style that make Suggs such a lethal force. I would lose it if we came away with Barnett!

Has Webb defended A pass this year?? It is 5 years over due..Cut Him Loose This Offseason

LOVE the Butch Cassidy reference!!!

Ive been one of his biggest fans, and still think he can play adequately, but with the skill on both sides of the ball, Flacco is holding this team back.


Flacco and 6th round pick for Rivers and the Lombardi comes to Baltimore again.

What for a guy (Rivers) who must be 50yrs old.

Yeah. Rivers has everything but the ring and would do anything to get it in his final years. Plus he easy has at least 5 good years left.

Next seasons starting safeties will be Eric Weddle and Matt Elam

And people still want to rag on Jimmy like he isn't holding his own. The problem in the secondary ain't Jimmy folks, it's Webb and whoever is lined opposite of Jimmy. It couldn't be more clear that the secondary takes a huge nose dive when Jimmy isn't out there. Ask OBJ.

Lardarius Webb has been a liability since his first knee injury!! There have been two plays in the past two weeks were Webb has given up and started jogging before the player has even crossed the endzone.

I've said it for years we need to CUT WEBB!!!

Lol... coming back to this board after a loss always makes me so much happier about my life. The loss was devastating. I didnt talk to anyone last night. But, man, there are some special people here. Thanks for the Monday morning pick up you guys!

Haha Whew! I thought I was the only one missing that the sky was falling or something.

This still looks like a 10-6 team.

Just a quick message to the site moderators..I love these "What you missed" articles and clips. It adds so much to the game! Especially things I never would see otherwise! Thank You!

I dont know if you can call the Trestman opinion and 'overreaction.'

Everyone was concerned when they hired him that he would play smash moth football and instead try and turn this team into a passing team..that WONT work in the AFC N.

Nothing in Trestman's recent coaching has indicated in any way that he will be a run-first OC.

..he wouldnt play smash mouth football...*

spelling is dum.

So why not a phone call to the Chargers?

A 3rd round pick in 2017 for Bosa? Hell even a 2nd would be worth it. Put him with Suggs to learn to play and after Suggs leave successor steps right in.

How you not gunna put a SIXTY-ONE yard game winner as Tucker's best game??

The games before that were more exciting and higher stakes for the team..but for Tuck? Naw. He was the only Raven to score in the win over the Lions; and was it mentioned...SIXTY-ONE Game Winner!!

Yeah, I'd put that above the SB kicks but the one to win in Denver - in that freezing cold, double OT, divisional-round game was epic as well

Yeah, no doubt 1 and 2 right there!

(talking bout that divs still gives me goosebumps lol)

Make that 4 WRs who will make the roster. You forgot to mention Mike Wallace

For a second I thought I had dreamt the whole Wallace signing!

I still think the way the draft order is awarded is nuts. The Jaguars beat us but because of strength of schedule they pick in front of us. I think that is fine in instances where there is not a head to head game and they both were 5-11, but when they are both 5-11 and one team loses to the other, then clearly the losing team should pick before the winning team. If there is no head to head then rely on strength of schedule but strength of schedule should never overrule a head to head meeting. That is common sense, something the NFL seems to lack any of. The difference between Ramsey and Stanley is one stupid decision by the NFL to toss out head to head competition in favor of strength of schedule. Someone needs to be jumping up and down and screaming to change this. Now if it was for the playoffs, head to head would overrule strength of schedule, but for some stupid reason, the draft order doesn't follow the same rules as the playoff order. How about one way to determine all of these things which is head to head competitions first and strength of schedule disposed of.

To be fair....the Ravens beat the Jaguars.

Unless 4 QBs are taken before us, I don't see Ramsey being a Raven on draft day. Even then, Jacksonville may still take him with their pick. But, I want so badly to be wrong.

It could happen easily enough.

At this point it seems all but certain QB's are going 1 and 2.

Chargers would be hard pressed to pass up the best LT in the draft. They have T's right now but had similar health concerns at the position to Ravens. If the Ravens would most likely draft Tunsil, you can bet the Chargers would also being in a similar situation. Would also help them in the next stretch as they begin to prepare for life without Rivers over the next few seasons.

Dallas is a wildcard and could go several different directions. I personally see them leaning towards Bosa, Buckner or Eliott. They need help up front on D. A solid 3 down back is rare these days, and Eliott should thrive behind one of the top O lines. There secondary is pretty solid as of now, so I just don't see it being as bit a need which is generally the deciding factor for cowboys.

Jag's could also go a few directions but it seems likely they would take Jack over Ramsey IMHO. Jack can cover the middle very well so still helps your secondary, but they also need to get stronger up the middle and this would satisfy that aspect. Only issue here is what team doctors etc think about Jack's knee.

Not a guarantee but certainly not a long shot either. Really cannot see Ravens trading out now, unless someone is feeling very generous.

I'm with ya on almost all of it...cept I COULD see the Ravens trading out to the middle/late first and getting Noah Spence, plus a bunch of a extra picks.

Either way I REALLY hope Spence is a Raven; a kid who has world class talent, screwed up in life, owned up to it(!), and is now ready to move on with his life towards becoming top in the NFL..sounds like an Ozzie Newsome pick.

Plus I think the Ravens organization structure would be a huge benefit to Spence too.

There is talk about free agent ILB signing; whose out there that would fit with the Ravens??

Cut West. Keep the rest.

Gotta think Taliaferro, West, and Richardson are all fighting for one spot. I think Forsett and Allen are locks while Taliaferro, West, and Richardson all play really similarly.

Agreed. But with how many injuries lately they may decide to keep 4 again. It may just be wishful thinking cause I just like Taliaferro a lot and wanna see him on the roster and healthy.

I hope he gets back on track here!

After wondering, a few months ago, about Will Davis' recovery; only to see an article about it the next day(ESP?!), I thought it might help to have a topic on Team-News requests by fans. The request I have now is for more information on Jaylon Smith.  

What are the chances, given how many picks the Ravens have in the middle of the draft, and that Jaylon Smith wont be playing until next year, that he is selected by Baltimore??

I know its not a popular opinion but Webb is now, and has always been, a burden on the team. Think of a year where he lived up to his contract? Not flashes, but a whole year; an injury free year.....There hasnt been one since his rook contract.

I say to drop him and Lewis from that safety squad and give Elam one last shot at sticking around.

Could this be more about Jimmy Smith and less about the use of the cap space?

Jimmy has played sub-par(not necessarily his fault due to injuries) and putting his cap hit next year at a STEEP 12 mil would be some good motivation to play a) play up to that or b) accept additional years on a new cap friendly deal next year.

Tryin to get in Oz is head is TOUGH!

I do NOT envy having to make a decision on Marlon Brown. He could be the highest TD catching rookie, or he could be Marlon of the past 3 years...

No mention of KLM to replace Canty?? Lewis-Moore has had one of the roughest starts to an nfl career and I think he is about to come in to his own. I like KLM and hope he gets a shot
