  1. Brooks got a raw deal Kendrick lewis was practically handed a roster spot. I don't even know if the guy ever showed up to work ??. Plus the fact that he seems like a box safety with mediocre range and cover skills at best. It seems like Elam fits that mold already would've liked one of the young guys on the up and up

  2. Tragedy we cut Butler what more does this guy have to do to make a roster. Yet camp gets chance after chance??, and then we draft Reynolds out of position then cut him when he struggles. Reynolds spot should've been sage given the predicament we put him in. In a year he'll be an all purpose yards machine. This was a mistake. But hey I don't run the team lol I'm just another angry fan ??

  3. We need to keep monroee at LT and start Stanley at guard at least for one more season! We will have an elite offensive line with him and a suspect one without... Stanley has potential but is unproven as a rookie LT will be a liability and it will have a trickle down effect to the pass and run game. Let Monroe lose the job to injury or performance

    I don't see how we keep pitta, there aren't enough reps for 5 TE. Pitta and Gilmore are injury prone. Gilmore is a beast but his style of play keeps him in the training room. Pitta is one more hip fracture away from serious health problems. Then there's our rookie max Williams who honestly hasn't shown me enough to sleep at night. Not the strongest run blocker and separation ability needs work..butt he was a 2nd round pick so hoping for a big season. Watson is an an expensive one year deal, he's 35 not sure if he can replicate last year's production i see him rotating in on passing downs though I am hopeful.

    Kenneth Dixon is a stud and once healthy I think he has a chance to win the job but I worry about his fumble tendencies let's slow the crowning of the starting job. Forset appeared to be losing burst b4 the injury (4.2 ypc from 5 the year b4 ) and without the zone blocking scheme and chop block I wonder how effective he will be moving forward. Buck Allen seems to be getting overlooked for some reason and I vividly remember him making big plays in the screen and passing game. Taliaferro is a bruiser but can't finish a season. Richardson is a bruiser but can't find the hole, hoping our much improved offensive line will make his job easier and allow him to wear down defenses, hoping he can be the high round draft pick from years ago. Terrence west seems to be the odd man out. Tough I liked him but I wondering what his role would even be with us. We have 2 power backs and two receiving backs and then forset who's balanced. What's wests' separation.

    Perrimen is a wild card. I don't know own what we will get from him. For some reason I just don't see him staying healthy. He still hasn't looked right or 100%. For that reason I like Mike Wallace/Chris Moore as the outside burner. SSS will work the slot in rotation with Kamar Aiken and Reynolds. I'm over campanaro. Seen enough at this point. He's got potential but his availability is an issue. When healthy he makes it interesting.

    Side note I don't like Webb and waddle at safety. Webb is undersized visions of that Miami game with him essentially holding onto a guys knees as he gets mossed in the end zone deep, has shown to be an inconsistent tackler I can't shake that play of the Browns player absolutely breaking his ankles in the open field. I think he can cover but his tackling and injury issues worry me about him at the position. I'd rather have kept hill, weddle I hope still has the speed and range to play deep.

  4. Cant for the life of me figure out whats going on with Arthur Brown... a 2nd round draft pick and here we are looking for outside help for a MLB position. Why is brown still on the roster after 3 years if we have no plans for him to get reps in the position he was drafted. If he cant play then he cant play. lets move on but if he can, he should be given an opportunity at the job its been 3 years now and we have no tape on this guy.

    As for monroe... I think We should keep him as an insurance policy.. all this talk about cutting him doesnt really bode well for our O line if the rookie struggles. I think with monroe at LT, stanley at Guard, Zuttah at center, Yanda at LG and wagner or lewis at RT we could have a top 3 offensive line. Im not too thrilled with urschel. The guy is brilliant and is solid depth but I wonder of his committment to getting better at his craft. He comes off like a Matt Elam to me in the sense that whenever we hear about him its never really football related ( finishing is PHD at MIT, playing chess, writing thought provoking articles). MOre power to him and to each his own but when it comes time to suit up his performance and growth in the trenches will be scrutinized if he hasnt taken his year 3 leap. SImilar to monroe who appears to be focussed in other areas in a very critical Make or break year for him.

  5. Regardless of what you think of the drug policy, it was a stupid comment by Monroe. I am not impressed.

    agreed you'd think with him being a Prime candidate for under performing and being overpaid along with this essentially being a make or break season for him, he would avoid controversy and make waves with his play on the field.. evidently not. It just seems like everytime we talk about monroe, its either in replacing him, marijuana related, or questioning his durability.

  6. Idk man... Jimmy was my guy for a while... I just hope he shapes into form. IMHO there are a few guys on the team stealing money with inflated contracts and underwhelming performances on the field. (Webb, Pitta, Jimmys most recent year) I understand he was hurt but as a team tight against the cap and shackled by dead money we need out top paid guys to produce or free up cap space so we can bring in guys who will. Heres to a bounce back year for Jimmy and our secondary.

  7. We really should get donta whitner, with him we would have our new ed reed and bernard pollard combo back. Weddle the ball hawk and whitner the thumper, why are we passing this up because ozzie over paid webb and now that he cant play corner anymore we have to find a use for him. smh ridiculous

    I agree so Much, If we had the old system back I would make three other accounts just so I could give this comment right here three additional thumbs up. Webb needs to take a pay cut and play in the slot, Weddle plays deep whitner at strong IMHO.

  8. The Ravens don’t have a glaring hole at cornerback with Smith and Shareece Wright re-signed to be the starters. Baltimore also has Will Davis and Kyle Arrington."

    That's an interesting statement.

    I actually agree, Jimmy smith seems to be getting healthy, Shareece wright improved and earned a second contract. Will davis was lights out in the slot before the injury. Arrington was once the league leader in interceptions and took a paycut to provide depth. Webb is safety/Slot I think we could get a secound rounder to come in and learn behind for a year. Our first pick honestly should be Elliot... keep our Defense rested, control the clock, balance out our offense, we get a tackle or pass rusher in the third. We still have Z smith, to spell dummervill and suggs. lets not forget jernigan and urban who have shown disruptive potenital. were not as far off as we think

  9. Whatever the FO's say before the draft is usually more smoke screen and bait than actual information - quite understandably. And the Ravens FO seems to be so stragithforward and adamant on thinking about the D at #6, that it makes one wonder whether they are actually thiking about going O... And if so, there are two players that will realistically be available at #6 and are good enough to be picked this high: Stanley and Elliot...

    But that's just thinking out loud, of course.

    I agree 1000%... smoke screen articles vague comments during pre draft interviews and every reporter and mock essentially stating the obvious make me beleive that we might in fact take a dark horse position... I hope we land elliot

    Perriman's injury is very intriguing to me. Somehow, the lack of information about his knee coupled with the length of time it's taken to heal coming close to 10 months now. When you see Flacco with multiple tears on his knee just 3 months ago shoot basketballs, it makes you wonder about Perriman's injury or healing ability. Hopefully, he's well past recovery and is running full speed now. How can he not be when you think about it? He didn't have full tears of his ACL, MCL right?

    I agree completely. Perriman isnt the issue here for me. Injuries happen, but its the intentional misinformation by the front office that has the entire world questioning Perrimans toughness, durability, and commitment. If the front office would be upfront with the full nature of the injury and timetable there would be alot less pressure on perriman to be rushed back. 10 months and he just started running? when he was only supposed to be out a few weeks in training camp according to harbaugh.. smh.. Ive honestly stopped believing anything I hear from John and Ozzie as far as Perriman goes. I Fear his injury may be way more serious than they are letting on, and as supporters of this player and franchise, I dont very much apppreciate being mislead....

    that is all..

    But, I believe, they are limited by non-disclosure agreements and HIPAA from saying anything Perriman doesn't want them to say. They can't just expose a guy's medical condition without his consent. Yes, there is more going on than we know about, but you can't blame Harbaugh or the team if Perriman won't let them release the information.

    But my thing is with every other player weather its a torn achilies (SSS & SUGGS), ACL,MCL (flacco), Arm(forsett) they were rather upfront with the nature of those injuries. With perriman, we were told bruise, then that hed be ready by october then eventually on I.R and now hes just now running 10 months later... just seems like misleading information

  12. But why? Im all for potential.. but we really haven't seen much since his rookie year, and there have been plenty of opportunities. Id really like to see what unknown guys like Butler, Mathews and perriman can do with increased snaps. Were crowded at Wide With Smith Aiken, Wallace, perriman and butler, plus hoping we take a flier on either braxon miller, josh doctson, or sterling shephard i just hoped we were moving on from non producing/potential/project players

    Weddle would be a great addition, but we would almost be guaranteed to never see if Webby would be a good safety. The money saved from cutting webby would have to equal Weddle's deal hopefully. We just need a safety tandem that can provide adequate back up and force turnovers at this point.

    now it's weedle and webby on the backend and smith, wright and arrington on the front end

    What about Will Davis? I'm pretty sure he starts above Arrington when healthy
