  1. Just an update on Gresham, Marvin Lewis called him a man of many moods, so I doubt he goes back there and the Bulls and Raiders both had interest before the surgery, so this could free him up until June

     

    Maybe not producing the way he should be producing is causing that, I mean year in and year out the Bengals are CONSTANTLY being signaled out as one of the most "talented" teams and year in and year out they do not produce.

     

    That has to be annoying, Marvin Lewis is not getting everything out of those guys. The fact that Gresham isn't producing is an eye opener, I'd go as far as saying he is the 2nd best option on the offensive side of the ball to AJ Green.

     

    Welcome to Baltimore LMAO

  2. I'd actually be happier with that. I've liked Gresham more from the start and really wanted him in the form of a trade when Pitta got hurt since I knew he was going to be a FA. I got hyped up for Housler as others did and with the fact that I knew he was in a non tight end friendly offense. I would definitely take Gresham first.

  3. I never thought the Bengals had a great game plan to utilize his talents. I actually think Gresham has the ability to be jimmy graham with Flacco if his medical checks out.

     

    Jimmy? Really?

     

     

    And I'd be very happy with that, but I wouldn't rule out another move or two if the Ravens can work out extensions with Yanda and Jimmy, which could allow a signing of Jennings and Gresham with how weak this TE class is

     

    That way we won't reach for the fan favorite WR, I'd rather have a the best possible player with ProBowl potential rather than draft a player out of need who may be decent for us

  4. You and Mt. Crushmore need to get together on here lol

    As for me, being a Yankees fan would be like being a Cowboys or Patriots fan, just couldn't do it

     

     

    Is he a Yankee fan too? Born and raised in NJ I had no choice to pick either the Mets or Yankees. That was easy lol

  5. I'd still take Jermaine Gresham if he lasted until June and his back checked out

     

    That would be solid, I liked him coming out of Oklahoma with Sam Bradford. Add Flacco to the mix and I can see him having some pretty good numbers.

     

    But Jennings may be the way the Ravens are leaning towards and focus on the draft to fill in some positions with the best available talent

  6. I see a Greg Jennings signing soon. I think that makes the most since, and then we can focus on the best player available in the draft and go get a WR later in the draft rather than draft out of need.

     

    This is how the Ravens have taught us to do business.

  7. Lol I know what u meant dude that its just very far off standard protocol of whats considered normal in managing personnel and assets. And if it doesn't work out the consequences you have 2 answer to will be stricter for making an unorthodox move. And it will be a lightning rod for criticism and stand out like Rosie O'Donnell with Victoria secret models if somebody traded a #1-#2 pick for a QB that just went in Rd6 or for an edge rusher that was suspended. And I never said the move wouldnt look peculiar but that the front office should trust scouting and coaches judgment and ability to lead players in the right direction. Most of the steals are from off field drama or small schools cuz the unwritten rules say Warren Sapp shouldn't go #1 overall that its to high to take a player with some drama. For the record we have nothing to lose giving Colt Lyera a shot. If conditioned and concetrated on football and working hard on the field and with the coaches off it he will be the best TE in the NFL. He is faster than Gronk more athletic and when conditioned he is functionally stronger than Gronk and tougher. He is a smart dude who had a bad upbringing and just finding his way. He is a chatacter and majors in drama off the field but he is smart and also has character and is a good teammate. The stories I hear bout that dude are like no other player ever!! In practice he lines up at safety and covers a deep threat downfield then lines up at TE or in the backfield and blocks an edge rusher like an OT. As a TE he runs by defensive backs and drags LBs. He ran a best time if 4.52 at combine/proday when he was out of shape. He can be kept in the right direction with good leadership and mentors. Kyle Long was like his big brother and Colt was awesome that year and worked as hard as any player. He was 6'4 258 lbs and in shape. That's when he impressed coaches and teammates lining up at all those positions. A WR in the NFL said he was the best player he ever player with or against and garunteed if he stayed straight will be the best TE and one of best players in the NFL at any position. Not saying he can be trusted yet but Ravens should sign him and give him a shot in my opinion. He is far more physical and talented than Eric Ebron who went #10 overall. Next to Brady Gronk is the pride of the patsies. It would just be to cool to see a ravens fan outperform Gronk!! And watch the patsie hypocrites cry about Colts former drama. If Blackmon agrees to commissioners strict testing and rules I think the ravens should at least check into it and determine if he has changed. He is a smart well mannered guy and a hard worker.

  8. Really?? OK prove its a bad idea. I'LL actually give u multiple chances. Name 4 edge rushers you like that may turn out to be better than Aldon Smith that we can get at #26. Keep in mind we only get to actually pick one of these players. But just to show how rare a talent Aldon Smith is and how difficult it would be to get an elite edge rusher, you can take as many guesses as you want actually of who will be better than or anywhere near Aldon. Don't 4get to ## your guesses of who you like best to least likely to be better than Aldon Smith. Playoff time next year you can check the progress of your players to see if any of them even flashes Aldons Skills and production.

     

     

    Lol I meant insane in a good way, if Aldon came over nobody would ever want to play us lol

  9. In my opinion you are right on about what the ravens need to win the Superbowl. I absolutely love the Tillman idea!! His age and good tackling may be a great fit at safety. With his size and skills he could play Strong or free. However my favorite idea By leaps and bounds at edge rusher is trade for Aldon Smith. When Jim Harbaugh wasn't at odds with the front office and was in complete control of the team he had Aldon Straight and focused. And Aldon was one of the truly elite edge rushers in the NFL!! He seriously abused Nate Solder!! When he is focused and the team is playing disciplined he is as explosive and dominant an edge rusher as there is. He is in the same league as Justin Houston Von Miller and Rob Quinn. SF is reportedly open to the idea of trading him since he was Harbaughs guy and they don't trust giving him a big contractcontract without Harbaugh to coach and guide him. Just my opinion the ravens should ask SF what they want for him and make the deal. A #1 or a set of #2 picks would be a steal!! Harbaugh and the ravens coaching and leadership can keep him focused and straight like The other Harbaugh. Aldon Smith is simply a player THAT CANT BE REPLACED!! At least not by any OK or good edge rusher. HE is that edge rusher in the category of Houston and Miller that can wreck a QBs weekend celebration by himself. This is a good draft for edge rushers but in my opinion there is nobody like Aldon in this draft. The ravens can trade for him to rotate with Suggs and Dumervil as he gets back to the Aldon guided by a Harbaugh while the ravens work on a longterm contract the following year when he could take over for Suggs as longterm starter and dominant edge rusher and all around player cuz Aldon is also a good run stopper and good in coverage. There is no edge the ravens could get with any of their draft picks that's anywhere ear the level of Aldon Smith!! The raven defense with him would be fearsome again. He is an explosive speed rusher that also has size power and moves. He can explode to the QB so fast he can even wreck the short throw game cuz Aldon doesn't need long to get to the QB. Its an opportunity to get the most dominant edge rusher next to JJ Watt. When Aldon was playing for Harbaugh and focused he was better than Houston and Miller. This is an epic opportunity!! Who wouldn't like to have Justin Houston but the Chiefs would ask for far more than we could get Aldon for due to Aldons off field issues that Harbaugh and the ravens coaching, leadership and structure could smooth out. A dominant talent like Aldon can cover and compensate for holes in a defense, especially in the secondary. Aldon compares to a young Demarcus Ware and could even surpass Ware!! When Aldon Smith was focused under Harbaugh, only JJ Watt was a more dominant defender.

     

     

    That would BE INSANE

  10. I pretty much only run with the Ravens in Madden. I use the Packers playbook on defense because I love the Pyscho Nickel package for generating a good pass rush on passing downs.

     

    I've been thinking about switching to a 4-3 defense, thoughts?
