Raven'evermore

Thanks, that helps.

I'm not what you would call a Shareece Wright fan, but when comparing him to Humphrey I noticed that they both have decent speed, Humphrey 4.41 and Wright 4.46. They also both have trouble with the deep ball and they both hit hard at the line of scrimmage. They only difference that I see (and I don't watch film much) is that Humphrey is taller. Of course I'm not there on the field as is Harbaugh or Pees, but with all due respect, somebody tell me what am I missing?

I'm curious as to how Harbaugh will make his decisions on taking the three points or going for first down. He's had a habit of being aggressive in the past, but with such a good defense our team may not need that many points to win.

Prayers for Todd and his wife and children while they deal with this tragic time in their lives. Also that Todd doesn't go through life blaming himself. God bless them and keep their minds and heart safe through Jesus.

I don't understand why so many posters here think that another team would actually give up anything more than what they did for a player who was losing snaps to an UNDRAFTED ROOKIE. While it's all only hypothetical, if the Ravens can get an impact player (which should be more likely with a 74th than 99th pick,) than I think it's the Eagle's fans who after Jernigan leaves will be angry at their own front office, realizing that the 74th pick could have been their player. Time will tell.

Thank's. Had forgotten about the injuries. So if healthy, he may still pan out even as a backup cb. Let's hope. As far as cost goes, it doesn't explain the zealousness of the fandom here. I'm just saying that we should be cautious with our expectations so that we're not so let down if in fact a signing doesn't pan out in the long run, but then again, who am I to ruin people's fun?

Did some research on these boards back when we signed Both Arrington and K Lewis. A lot of people on these boards were excited back then too, especially with Arrington. Not trying to bad mouth signing Carr, but I for one will have a wait and see perspective.

I was one of the most pro Elliott people to push him to us in last years draft. Thought character concerns weren't an issue. Boyyyy was I wrong. I'd be upset if I were a cowboys fan. Glad we got Stanley.

Lardarius Webb and Michael Mcrary were my two favorite ravens of all time. Maybe not flashy or loud, but gave their all.

Thanks. Personally, I have to wonder why he's even playing corner. Not trying to put him down, but speed can't be taught and it seems that he plays better closer to the line of scrimmage than having to try and keep up, or in his case catch up to the wr. As far as getting 2 cbs, I have no problem with that considering how deep this draft is. If anything it might be a good idea to start converting him over to safety as soon as possible to get him ready.

Not sure if this applies to this particular forum, but I remember Wright made some nice tackles close to the line of scrimmage. His one main fault seems to be speed when playing corner. However, he does play with a lot of fire and is a pretty good tackler. Convert to safety? Maybe back up safety? Just a thought. That way we could save a draft pick for more o lineman or whatever else we need. Again just a thought.

Agreed, but I wonder if the coaches are thinking the opposite and that the player has to become what they imagine him to be. Have to wonder if these coaches think they can make something out of these draft picks that's just not possible. Then, when the experiment doesn't pan out like they thought, the player gets blamed or criticized. People learn differently as teachers and coaches use different methods. Some take longer than some others do. As far as Correa, only time will tell, but perhaps a bit longer than one year.

Eh, wasn't really serious. Except that perhaps they did try to put too much on him and that he's thinking too much instead of reacting. Maybe it's possible to simplify the game plan a bit. Not everyone is a John Urschel.

I think it's possible that the coaches tried to put too much information into Correa's brain for his rookie year. Especially not having a solidified role on the team. Would like to see them tell him: see the ball, go get the ball, or maybe better, see Qb, crush Qb. Just wind him up and let him go.

If I may, I'd like to put forth a different perspective about the season and also moving forward to next season. 1. Although we didn't experience the kind of injuries we did last season, we still had some key players out for a good part of the year. Think how much our blocking could have been better had Crockett and Max been able to contribute. Maybe had opened the running game more. 2. I'm as excited about Perriman as ever. Not only was this considered his rookie year, but he was out for most of the offseason and still made some spectacular plays. I see a lot of deep passes. 3. SSS retiring means more targets for our younger guys like Waller, Perriman, Williams, Waller, Moore... Even Wallace should see more targets. No offense to Sr. 4. 2015, we went 5 & 11. This year, 8 & 8. Definite improvement. 5. Flacco should be fully healed (I hope). 6. I would like to see Harbs get away from the aggressive play attitude. It's one thing if you have the personell, but I would like to see us play a bit more conservative, run the ball more and not take so many chances on fourth down (jmo). 7. Our running game can be one of the best with Dixon and West, if we improve the oline a bit more and run more than pass. My point is that while we do need improvement, we're at least moving forward. Grape is my favorite Koolaid. Oh and I almost forgot; Camp actually stayed healthy. Miracles do happen.

Jmo, but another reason for our running game being ranked so low is because we're not using it enough to punish the other teams d line. Back when we had Jamal Lewis the running game didn't really take off til the second half. You could see how the opposing team was tiring trying to hold up against our run. True that Dixon nor West are in the same build as Lewis but they have enough strength and size to wear down other teams. Also, if we continue to use them interchangeably like we have, they'll remain more rested. Perhaps even use Allen sparingly sometimes to help. Again jmo.

If we keep using the no huddle, don't make too many penalties and stay healthy, we will win.

The good: The no huddle offense. Finally breaking the one td on first drive and then mostly field goals for remainder of game curse. Joe actually spreading the ball around and hitting his targets. O line was amazing. Not taking Tunsil in the first round. The bad: the hands to the face call on Sr and Jernigan's penalty. I mean really?

I'm not concerned about our front line against the run. I think Dallas will try testing us up the middle at first but then go mostly to the outside. With our linebackers, I think we can keep them to short yardage for most of the game. We need to put pressure on Prescott almost immediately at least to test their O line. If we can get penetration early and get to Prescott often, then we can him make a bit nervous and perhaps cause an interception or two, or maybe three. As much as I've liked Elliott, I don't think he breaks a hundred rushing against our D.

I do think that Joe had a lot to do with Trestman getting canned, but I doubt if he was the only veteran who had something to say about it.

Wish I could give you more pluses, but we're only allowed one each. LOL, would love to hear all this on Raven's news like it actually happened. The punching the wall bit is a possibility though.

Also, whether or not our wrs are being covered, we need to start passing long. Sure Perriman should have caught that first deep throw but in his defense how often has he been targeted going deep? You need to develop in game situations. Jmo. Oh yeah and West is looking like a stud and Allen did well too. Why did we get away from the run so soon?

There's also such a thing as being too aggressive. Harbs is too much of a gambler. He says he wants to give his team a chance to score and yet he takes away that very chance after the offense worked hard to get within field goal range. Maybe at one time this strategy would have worked consistently, but this is not that offense. Not calling for his head. Just really frustrated.

Good post. I believe pot is socially addictive. Maybe Waller also needs to stay away from certain crowds that make it easy for him to make the same mistake again. I believe he has a lot of potential and would hate to see him go to another team.

Stop selling alcoholic beverages, or limit people to only one. The real fans will still come to the games and the idiots will stay home.
