Congratulations to Ed Reed on your Retirement, Thank You from Raven Nation

hn68wb4 you are so right i looked at Monroe's game tape and he can make things happen he gets under people and moves them.

thats what im saying, a player going into his 3rd year and he is struggling with just fundamentals this badly, i dont know if he can be saved. its almost like its a learning disability there. some players just cant make the adjustment to the pro's

@xxDarby What is crazy though is he only played 1 year at Tennessee, and smashed records. He may be more raw, but could the upside be higher/equal to Torrey? I don't think that Vikings offense was conducive to WR growth, he'd certainly have a shot to develop better here.

TDubbs he would have a good chance to develope here, but I just personally think he's too far gone. Maybe he dominated college because he run faster, jump higher, and out muscle others, but in the NFL athleticism is only good with technique. I just think his technique is so bad that he is unsavable

and JO, easily in the discussion of best LT of all time, if he isnt the best then hes definitely top 3

If any of you think doug baldwin is a number one caliber receiver or in the top crop of receivers in the league like he believes...then you may need to visit a doctor

I dont believe that Baldwin is a top wr. But who are u to tell him to not think otherwise. What should he do? Let the critics say he is a garbage wr?

The critics dont say he is garbage, they say he is average...which he is. Nothing wrong with keeping quiet and playing your role instead of grasping for headlines.

Where we're you when we won against PIT?

where were the ajustments and aggressive play calling like we had versus Pitt???? Nowhere. Nada. Zip. Pees played turtle. Sadly that is what he does 90% of the time.

I'm still on the RB bandwagon. Next year's class is fantastic, and last night I saw Forsett being awesome (albeit against one of the worst defences in the league), Bernard Pierce doing a whole load of nothing, and I believe LT not seeing a snap.

All he needs to do is watch some vintage JJ vids and a dose of Steve Smith motivational tapes.

Ray Lewis would say Jacoby needs the touch of Ray Lewis ...

I agree. Just like Jimmy, Elam doesn't lack the physical ability (aside from height) .. it's all about the mental game with Elam.

they forced alot on elams plate, any rookie would struggle with what hes had to do in his first 2 years, its only gonna make him better in the long run, if will hill is the rill dill, and our cb's step it up, then elam will finally be able to just play his game instead of overthinking everything and trying to be everywhere to help a busted secondary

Can't wait for tomorrow.......it should be a thrill to watch Will Hill! and of course, Matt.

Also Steve Smith for, once again, being our leading receiver in terms of yardage/making critical plays.

Don't forget 5 sacks in an away game. Best of the season.

Shout out to Hurst and Urschel!

I wanted to make an account just to lose it, but the ignorance was so bad that it would be pointless. It's amazing to think that they can't just stop for a second and welcome these players to Ravens Nation. They're now one of us (sorta) and I'm sure we wouldn't appreciate it if that was anyone's response to us.

Exactly, these young guys are now a part of the team and should be welcomed and at least given an opportunity before people of their own fan base bash them. I'm sure though if these guys turn into pro bowlers or solid contributors, they will be the first to buy their jerseys. Much like Lardarius Webb a few years back.

Bashing the players and bashing the draft itself are two different things. The players could all be great - but if we don't stop ignoring offense and simply throwing hand me down vets & developmental players at it don't expect it to improve.

Actually was just going off of immediate need in this status, but I do believe CJ is a better player than everyone I listed minus Lewan.

OLB is an immediate need?

That was more of a luxury pick
