They have been big on drafting 'good people' over good players. When Modell first sat down with John, he said " You win with good people; smart, you can make them smart". That is good if you want a bunch of friendly co-workers, not if you want the best possible roster. They have to be plug and play. All our best drafted players are retired. To be honest, we have never drafted a good wr, bell cow outside JL and qb is to be determined right now. Should talk to the steelers about their WR / RB scouting.

Put the time in to develop your football iq and perform. People don't care about the story, they want to see the result. After all it is just a ball game..

It is their job to know and do. It is ours to see if they can. If they can't or don't, we stop watching.

Yep, and he was asked to throw it 48 times! There was more running this game, and I know that the play-action passing off of a typical run formation look helped contribute to the imbalance (and I'm OK with that), but we still need to run more. Either that or we needed to keep going to play-action because it was working. The one thing the coaching doesn't seem to do is to adjust to keep throwing what works at the opposing team until they prove they can stop it. MM was a little better than MT, but he still needed to keep at it more. Dean Pees does not seem to adjust well at all, especially when his corners started dropping like flies. How to play football well, isn't a secret. Make the game simple for yourself, spend the hours, before and after practice. As a career not just something you have to do.

Not true and you know it. Does his best work in post season but you know that as well. Stop the griping and stop blaming the QB for everything wrong. He basically had no training camp and it will take time to get into a rhythm. It may well be 2 or 3 games down the road. At this point I would rather have Flacco at the helm. Some other teams in our division are not exactly killing their opponents either. The Browns just can't win, the Bengals are bungles and the Steelers are up one week and down the next. You have to get to the post season first. There have been qbs that have done more with less than his ability or personnel. Everyone seems to be making the game more difficult than it needs to be.

Seems most of the league forgot how to play football.

To be determined. Players just need to win most of their 1on1 duels.

"Game Plans" At the end of the day it is pitch and catch. People aren't getting open, the ball isn't where it needs to be. Yes, having a competent play caller helps, as a gamer you'd want to have full control. Let Joe call based on what he sees. If he can't do that, then we got the wrong quarterback. Joe and and co. need to get their timing down. Comes down to the players, not the coaches. Coaches are there as a reminder. Not to drastically alter football iq or ability. Things are as complicated as you let them.

To possibly clarify... As a fan, I was screaming "why did we stop running the ball" during the game. As a head coach, harbs should've walked over and asked trestman wth is he doing Have to be balanced, obviously. Coaches are put there to hold players accountable, call plays and point things out, not help them learn how to play football all over again. Let flacco call his own plays, see what happens.

beyond dumb.

What a story.. We all know where the ravens could save some money against the salary cap..

While Monroe wasn't an elite LT, he was far from terrible when he played. Actually Monroe graded out well in pass blocking but throughout his career routinely scored in the bottom of the league in run blocking. When Monroe was on the field... Stanley's rookie miscues will outweigh Monroe's age, injuries..and contract... Wallace didn't have a quarterback to suit him....But he was still a better player than Torrey Smith is...Only if Boldin were kept..

He's injured. He's not injured...

A real story....! ...Stretch.

Non story.

Official?... Too bad. =\ Good thing we have depth and tight ends.

Can you? He isn't injured. .. If he does.. Nice curse.

Another dumb fluff story....... He was never injured........ Watch he does get hurt now.. and that costs... And everyone turns to this curse..

Taliaferro.. Has been there 1 offseason... And Javorius " next step to be great " ... Has to get a roster spot first.. lol

No he didn't

someone tries too hard... roster is looking good though.

This guy appears to be better than all those guys.
