I don't believe doom will hold out. Especially when he triggered a million dollar yearly increase after his 14th sack last year or something like that. I really don't think Doom is that greedy. But if he does, I'd call his bluff. Pay him nothing and decline every trade coming his way until he mans up and respects his end of the contract. Ozzie went out of his way to bring him in. Harbs goes out of his way every game by starting a guy who's not an every down guy. We all know the kind of defenders harbs loves and doom doesn't fit that description. Don't get me wrong. I loved his signing and love what he brings to the team. I hope he stays here for a few more years. But if he holds out and disrespects us like that then it's on!

Mad mad mad respect to Forsett. I don't even know where to begin or end but seriously. Thank you for staying in Baltimore. Thank you for being a great role model to the players and fans. Shower pill is probably the only think coming from him that I hope to never encounter lol

I'm certainly not the biggest fan of Castillos work. Wasn't a fan when we brought him in to change to the zone blocking and wasn't a fan after his first year. I'm not sure how much credit he should get for last years success but certainly have a lot of respect for the man for sticking to his guns. Slowly but steadily I'm forced to respect him as a man. His coaching is gonna show this year with a new OC but the same group of guys who have been in his system for 2 years.

So many valid points. Tucker is a stud! Best close range kicker in the history of the game! Best extra point taker for the future with this new weird rule. Best clutch kicker we've had for a while. Touchback machine. And here's what I love about him the most..... The guy is nasty! He really protects our blind side better than any kicker in this game. Dear moderators. May we pleeeeeeease have a video of Tucker's tackles. And a statistic of how many points he's saved us?

Agree! I can't even imagine tucker leaving. Especially when you have a head coach with special teams pedegree;) I hope our FO gives this guy a ton of guaranteed money up front to keep his cap hit low because he's the closest thing to a sure bet given his age and position he plays. Perriman is a first rounder meaning the Ravens have the option to keep him for a fifth year. By that time if he demands top money then we would have had a very good WR for 5 years for a fraction of his market price. Tickle me to death if that happens in 5 years "demanding top money" as il be the first one to say "damn that sucks but thank you for your service and good luck wherever you go" unless if he stays in the division lol

I actually crave beating you at your best! It actually gives me a kick and It doesn't feel as sweet when opponents are missing key players. Seriously, I would love nothing more than to walk into mile high. Put Peyton on his back a few times. And watch j.smith put a number on DT like he normally does on a weekly basis. Something like 4 catches for 38 yards.Competitive advantage this. You chose the game, place, rules, and time. And il still kick your behind! Just my 2 cents

Actually more than 20 mil coming off the books. I also doubt that KO Yanda and Tucker would count more than 20 mil against the cap in the first year of their contracts. The Ravens could also free up some cap space here and there if needed. I really don't remember an offseason when the Ravens had the option to keep all starters and sign 2-3 instant starters like 5mil type guys. And an ozzis draft. I'm already excited for next offseason regardless of what happens this season

If it helps the cap this year then the Ravens would have around 8-9 mil. I hope Ozzie surprises us all with a blockbuster trade soon. Use up that cap with a stud! Just one more move along with resigning our guys would make this a PERFECT offseason by Ozzie A+

I wonder how good this defense could have been with Ngata here for at least this upcoming season. 7.5mil is the amount of cap space the Ravens have now and may even free up more cap space if necessary. 8.5 is the amount the Ravens saved by trading him. We could have saved 1.5 on canty and kept ngata.

If Matt us gonna teach joe anything, I reallt hope it's not in the weight room holding a clipboard lol.

Tho i don't agree with a the extent of what you are saying because Torrey also caught more lobs from Flacco than anyone else and stretched the field. I do commend you for showing those videos. OMG they never get old

My biggest concern is replacing Gary Kupiak. I have a lot of faith in Trestman but still have to see it with my own eyes. Offensive efficiency will make or break our season.

If I had to chose between keeping Yanda and KO or zuttah and Moneoe id surely chose to keep Yanda and KO. But the beautiful thing next year is that we won't need to make very many tough decisions. So much dead money coming off the books and the cap will go up. We can comfortably keep our Oline for another 2 years at least. If I'm not mistaken, last years Oline may have been the best group in Ravens history. Zero weaknesses and quality depth when needed. So I may be a little greedy here but I want all 7 guys back next year because we can

Monroe and Zuttah are basically untradeable this season because the Ravens would have more dead money then the actual cap hit. Next year is not as bad but we'd save about 2 mil on each and also carry a hefty dead cap number. Asking Monroe to take a paycut if he has another subpar season would probably be our best option next year. Hurst and urschal played descent football last year for rookies. But that's where if ends. Going into a season with hurst and urschel as starters would be asking for trouble as both would suffer growing pains and there is no guarantee that they ever play as good as Monroe and zuttah. Besides, it takes 7 or 8 good linemen to finish a season. The Ravens have great depth in those 2 youngsters so why fix it if it ain't broke? I honestly thought zuttah played great and there's absolutely no reason to replace him anytime soon. I do agree tho that Monroe needs to pick it up a bit.

Great read larzen

I totally agree. I watched a lot of film on this guy at Florida. Elam was an awesome tackler at that level. Last year he really doubted himself way too often. Should I wrap up? Head up or down? Should I no high or low? Then it's too late. His hips were so stiff and he barely got any momentum while tackling. Just keep your head up and take someone out! I promise you'll feel a lot better about ur selfie. He needs to bring back his headless chicken tackling style that he dominated with at Florida.

I would love to see that happen. Put the ball in forsets hands 15 times a game and 15 times between the 2 of them (run or pass) Allow each one to specialize in specific situations and go with the hot hand every game. What a pleasant surprise Forsett has been. Hope the young guns develop into studs!

Tho I don't agree I think that's fair to say. Indeed Webb was not impressive. But he was playing hurt and I actually appreciate that he suited up while he was so far from 100 percent. I don't believe Webb has declined that much physically as he's still 29 if I'm not mistaken. He has proved for years that he's the real deal. A solid NFL starter to say the least. I refuse to believe that he just lost it at all of a sudden. If someone beats out a healthy Webb then I'd say the ravens have the best secondary in the NFL I do agree that he didn't play like 7mil dollars last year but he did take a straight up pay cut this season and I also appreciate that. If the season starts today. The ravens have j.smith who is a top 5 CB in my books marking the best WR. L.Webb is still one of the best #2 CBs in the NFL marking the second WR and a solid slot CB in Arrington. W.Hill has been a top10 safety the past 2 years according to PFF. And all lewis has to do is hold his own. I think he's capable of doing that at least. Our depth last year was horrendous. This year is a different story. The ravens have A.Jackson, Elam, Melvin and Brooks warming the bench waiting for their opportunities to arise. I'm not arguing that they are starters but they're really really good backups with upsides.

I vote comment of the day!

I've defended joe Flacco to the other end of the planet. And I literally mean that Il continue to defend him because I do believe that he's perfect for our team. But I think it's dillusional to throw all the blame on Torrey when it was clearly joes fault on that particular play. I even doubted myselfe and watched it again a few times. 1- it was second and 5 with about 1:40 on the clock. Why go deep? Even if it was a completion then Brady would get the ball back. 2- the pats rushed 4 guys and 2 of them were on their back when joe released the ball. Why rush it? 3- the pats doubled Torrey and others were single covered? Why force it? 4- joe was not pressured at all but threw it off his back foot and floated it. Why? 5- Torrey actually had his man beat but joe placed the ball a few yards too deep and a few yards inside of the sideline. 6- Torrey actually did challenge the safety but the ball was just thrown in his lap. Neg me all you need but that pass was on Joe not Torrey. Blame the refs, cheap patriot formations, deflated footballs, decemited secondary. Whatever you want but don't throw it all on Torrey just because he's not here.

And until that day comes. I hope we run the ball down the steelers throat 30 times every time we face them!

Thank you! When a kid sais it's all mental. That means it's getting to his head. I'm glad Flacco connected with him deep later in that practice. That's the only way to develop a young reciever doubting himself.

Bingo!

That's so damn rude to say! Suggs came back from an achilies injury faster than any other athlete I know. He played with torn biceps just to be a decoy and force defenses to double him. Hes regularly taken paycuts or restructured for the sake of the team. Took a home team discount in his prime! He's was one of the best all around linebackers according to PFF. The other outside linebackers that have played with him can all vouch that their best NFL year was because Suggs took all the double teams. Your out of your mind for making such claims! And whoever likes that comment is also out of his skull! I really like Z smith upshaw klm and the guys. But be real here. They are not even in the same class as Suggs! He's 32 not 52.

I agree with almost everything you said. Except how easy you guys make it seem for the guy to just walk away from his dream that he's been working on for years. I was a professional athlete and like pitta injuries crippled my athletic career. I was lucky enough to get an education at a well respected school and eventually accept the fact that my body just can't take that kind of a beating. It took me 4 years to accept the fact and move on. Today I still play semi pro games and I'm in a lot of pain for 2 or 3 days after each game. My mom calls me stupid at times but seriously..... I'm gonna break down at 40-45 regardless. I'd doesn't matter to me if i break down a few years earlier. But until then..... I'm gonna run until I fall. It keeps me alive. I'm sure pitta is going through similar deamons in his head but his inner voice is telling him no freakin way am I going to walk away. God bless and good luck pitta. Take your time making your decision and whenever your made up your mind don't look back!
