The Ravens interior defensive line is pretty impressive this year. When Doom gets back they are going to wreak havoc on opposing quarter backs. Little worried about Shareece Wright. Also worried about Williams, Correa and Gilmore. What happened to these guys.

?

Our record says we are better and that is the extent of it. If the Ravens can't find a way to run the ball we are in for a long season and will not come close to making the playoffs.

With all the hype surrounding Urschel in the beginning of the season it is interesting that Alex Lewis beat him out for the job.

Forsett looks awful and sadly I don't see much upside. Allen won't be much better either, which leaves West and Dixon to carry the load. I am also really worried about Correa and Max Williams. Are these guys busts. Guess time will tell, but being it is Max Williams second year and he has not caught a single pass is a little concerning.

Our line is a little lack luster as well as our running backs. However, I think Trestman is the real problem. We have never in the history of Baltimore have been able to run the sweep. It should be banned from the playbook. Our offence will continue this trend until Trestman goes.

Perriman all over? Pretty sure this guy has been significantly healthy since we signed him and unlike Perriman he has produced highly in all of his seasons with us................Where are some of you guys coming up with this stuff. Some really bad posts, but some good ;)

That's extremely optimistic opinion. Lets ponder that prediction after they have played at least 8 games.

Correa who ?

Same, he has to make the team. Especially since we cannot rely on Campanaro to stay healthy. Butler seems to stay healthy and he's been making plays.

I love all the really long posts, some of you guys should be writers for the Baltimore Ravens website....... lmao.

It's a little scary that we have not heard or seen anything from Kamalei Correa our second round pick. Little concerning. Just a little.

I have to agree. Love John and he is a great coach, but I think his time in Baltimore has come to an end.

I miss Pollard so much. I thought he was such a good fit with the Ravens and even though he wasn't the greatest in coverage, he made up it by killing receivers across the middle. Towards the end of the game the receivers didn't even wan't to catch the ball for fear of getting annihilated. I was so sad when they released him.

Really? No doctor, but bone breaks heal way way quicker than tendon or ligament tears, I am surprised they're counting him out for the whole year. You are correct in a sense, but broken bones can vary in how they actually broke. A clean break is the best case you can hope for in all situations, or next best is a compound fracture which is multiple clean breaks, then there is the fragmented fractures where the bone has broken in many small pieces kinda like glass shattering. I know about this topic since my brother broke his leg when he was younger and the doctor was knowledgeable and shared the info. All that being said, depending on the type of break he sustained and add in the fact the location is the ankle and requires a lot of functional strength to hold up to the rigors of NFL life, a season gone is not so far fetched. The other half is that he will most likely be healed before the seasons end but then you gotten figure time in to re-strengthen the muscle since he won't be using them for several months. That really does not leave much room for getting back for some game time. The smart approach is to say do not rush back and potentially risk re-injury, as they have so far indicated. There is no pressing need for him to be rushing back either as two others who dealt with similar issues will now be in the running for those reps, Urban and Lewis-Moore who have show play making ability, plus they still have Guy who has been a very solid and dependable player. You're right, hopefully it is a clean break. Would be great if he could at least get some reps in this year.

Correa lol He's going to be our Mad Max

You honestly think somebody can break their ankle and be back playing within a few months? Sure, depending on the severity of the break of course. Bone has lots of blood vessels which speed up healing where as ligament/tendon damage does not, hence why it takes so long to recover.

Really? No doctor, but bone breaks heal way way quicker than tendon or ligament tears, I am surprised they're counting him out for the whole year.

Haven't heard much from Elam, Brown or Forsett. Maybe we can cut all of them and create 3-4 million in cap space. I think it is now safe to say Brown and Elam are busts in Baltimore. Sad but true.

I think the best move would be to put him on PS. I think Reynolds would be snatched off the PS quick. Several reports had the patriots very high on him, possibly they would have drafted him in the 7th round if he was still there. He seems like one of those prospects that coach belicheck likes to keep on his roster: young guy with great athletisism and can play various positions all across the field. The Pats are a good enough team that they could afford to stash him on their active roster if they believe he has NFL potential. So I think you risk losing him if he gets cut. I know, but who really cares. I mean I wish the guy the best, but there aren't too many 6th rounders that come to a team and win a starting spot immediately. Hence why he is a 6th round pick. Not sure what all the fuss is about with him, if he does great great if he doesn't oh well. Wish him the best though.

I like this guy

It will be interesting to see what happens. Watson is def not getting cut and if Pitta keeps playing well he is not going anywhere either. Now we have Crockett, who is a beast and we can't get rid of our second round pick in Max Williams, and if thats the case Boyle played better than him, so it is going to be interesting to see where everyone ends up.

What a great move, I was worried about our O Line, but this move def sures things up. Now if we could only get more secondary help, but I don't think that will happen at this stage in the game, but I could be wrong.

I know I'm a bit optimistic but looking at all that went bad and most was out of the Ravens' control. Just the law of averages of those close games gives the Ravens an extra two or three games... The Ravens weren't a bad team they stayed in most games against really good teams they just couldn't win. I don't see how people don't think the Ravens have playmakers... Jimmy Smith when healthy (and he is finally going to be healthy) is a top 5 cornerback in this league. Powers is probably one of the most underrated guys and he is our 3rd cornerback. Weddle coming in is huge and he will be a big part of the Ravens future.There are several guys that are playmakers they may not be top 5 at their position but they are definitely very good at what they do. We don't need Suggs to have a DPOY season like we used to. We don't need Dumervil to pile up 17 sacks again. The Ravens were in the upper half of the league both offensively and defensively. What they struggled in that made them lose 9 of their 11 losses by 1 score or less was because they were near the bottom half in the redzone on each side of the ball. The Ravens offense now has Wallace and Perriman to open up the middle of the field for the tight ends including Ben Watson. The defense added one of the best safeties in the NFL and a very good slot cornerback. The loss of Suggs was probably the defining issue that sent the Ravens to lose games early. The Ravens do not need players to be top 5 at their position. They won the 2013 super bowl with a bunch of guys that were solid and a quarterback who knew how to sling it. The talent is there and the media only follows the teams that do well and the Cowboys (of course). A lot of pundits believed the Ravens were on track to win the super bowl. If they scored one more time and each of those games they could have easily been 12-4 last season give or take a game. Plus why do you think the Ravens can't win the division? The Bengals have lost a lot of important pieces, the Steelers we swept last season and Martavis Bryant is out the season for suspension and Bell likely has a 4 game suspension now, and the Browns are in rebuilding mode. I see 3-3 as the floor in the division next season. My definition of a play-maker is different than yours. Play-makers are the ones that make plays when it matters, and the Ravens have none aside from Suggs and Steve Smith, the problem with Smith and Suggs is they are both older in age and coming off devastating injuries. And Jimmy Smith is a good corner, and that is it. He does not come up with big plays such as interceptions of turnovers, teams also don't plan around Jimmy Smith either, as they do with top 5 corners. Daryl Smith was a good line-backer for us, but didn't make big plays. Justin forsett and company are very average in my book. The bottom line is that no team prepares for the Ravens and go "better watch out for that guy". And when we won the super bowl we had a ton of play-makers. Suggs, Ngata, Lewis, Reed, Boldin even Pollard, wide receivers were so scared to go across the middle when he was in the game, He was also the one that put the dagger in the Patriots in the championship game by knocking Ridley unconscious lol My point is we have none of those types of players on the Ravens at this moment aside from Smith and Suggs. Hopefully the rookie class will hold some surprises.

I am just not feeling it with these guys. I mean who are the Ravens play-makers. Suggs? He is coming off a second Achilles tear, and Steve Smith the same thing. I mean Brandon Williams is a great player, but he doesn't get turnovers or sacks or big plays (with that said, great player and glad to have him). Weddle should sure some things up, but our secondary will again be a weakness. I think they have at least another year of rebuilding. I still think we could possible sneak into the playoffs, but I don't see any evidence that we will win the division. Sorry to be a deby downer bros :)
