rossihunter2

I went to see it with some friends and will say this - i really enjoyed it, maybe even more than the 1st one but there was no consensus among the group on the overall quality of volume 2

it's still no guarantee he's on the roster - it feels like more of insurance in case he improves rather than an expectation that he will improve

well they occasionally seemed to ask him to pull in college but he was never really that effective - he looks powerful but doesnt seem to have the footwork to be powerful when engaging as the pulling guard... maybe it's a lack of practice given that they mainly operate a zone scheme in his program - and someone (cant remember who) much more knowledgeable than me about offensive line play in the game day thread after he was picked mentioned that he seemed physically better suited to the power scheme but that they didnt use him well within the scheme so maybe it's about practice and technique (I hope) rather than an inability to work in that sort of scheme these are my hopes and dreams

haha - rossi aint my name either lol - but its always been a username/pseudonym i use and its stuck with me for a long time

im glad you mentioned that wyoming game because i just watched it and he looked pretty solid - I know he's bigger than guys we've drafted in recent ravens history but he didnt seem to work as well when pull-blocking which i guess could be problematic if we are moving to a power scheme like it seems we are - i worry that he's a boom-bust kind of prospect for us...

they're more complicated to do though so only adults can dislike things...

i feel like you are a 15 year old from like 2007 who somehow time travelled to this exact forum thread because that's how dated some of your comebacks are...

dont think dallas put dak in on purpose - and given that they wanted connor cook and paxton lynch over dak prescott, the only advice we should take from dallas is that sometimes you just get inexplicably lucky

or the jets

why does anyone do anything? none of it matters... what's the point in even posting on this forum for example... none of it is significant... yet you still do it...

it'll be weird not seeing joeyflex5... maybe you can keep the flacco fu manchu as a compromise?

absolutely - although i think there's an outside chance he could sneak onto the roster given how thin we are - (we have 4 wrs at the moment predicted to have an impact this upcoming season - i imagine we will have at least 5 on the opening day roster - may well be a vet free agent but who knows) he's a guy who will need some work but could come on quickly because while i see a litany of issues, none of them (except the hands) are fundamentally large issues in terms of how much work they need - he's a player i could see developing into a decent 4th receiver maybe a 3rd receiver and supplementary deep threat if he does well on special teams though, he may well get more opportunities to develop given that's likely how our 5th/6th receivers will contribute

i agree with this - clowney was way more hyped for the athletic traits vs garrett - people were calling clowney a once in a generational type talent which i just didnt see - athletically that makes more sense for garrett than clowney - i agree that garrett has been overhyped... i think many media analysts seem to forget that it's not all about sheer athleticism (garrett im sure will succeed though, he seems like a very motivated and intelligent young man who's surprisingly interesting as a person as well as a prospect)

im not sure i agree with this - harris uses the spin more often but i dont see it as being executed as well - i suppose when harris gets it right its slightly more effective because it emphasizes timing - but so often i see him get the timing wrong and he isnt violent enough to execute the move without great timing - i saw him spinning in place so many times whereas when williams uses the spin move it's often violent and purposeful

no - everyone is supposed to not discuss the picks because the mods asked you to adhere to the rules - not all of us had the luxury of being switched onto twitter etc. and i dont necessarily want to watch a draft tracker for hours on end - that is literally the reason the programming exists id love for the show to be properly live, but i cant change that so i deal with it and hope to learn the picks organically it's just about courtesy dude, if a load of people kindly asked to not have the picks spoiled for them/the mods ask people not to do it either then surely it's only polite and nice to adhere to those requests what do you personally gain from announcing the picks in the thread earlier than broadcast?

why are you announcing the pick here though? if you're not interested in the tv show why would you announce it on the gameday thread? if you arent willing to play by the rules (which we all want to play by) and discuss picks as they are announced then why bother posting them? essentially your argument is "I, atomicfront, don't like watching the nfl draft coverage, therefore, everyone who does watch the show doesn't deserve to not have the show spoiled for them" - it's not like we were watching it an hour later - we were literally watching the international coverage - the picks werent announced to the world before the coverage - they were announced earlier by beat writers - the nfl certainly agrees with italianraven and I because they stopped any broadcast media from tweeting out picks early

i just watched some of him 1vs1 in practice and i can see why he went udfa - he's inconsistent and sometimes reads the corner wrong - his hands are also inconsistent but he's got good height and length and good deep speed with some decent short area quickness - he breaks well even when he reads wrong although he doesnt sell fakes particularly well at the moment - he's a nice developmental guy to have in the building and if he comes on quick then maybe there's a place for him here

Jalen robinette would be really intriguing if he could be cleared - he has enormous hands (maybe the biggest in the class at wr) and he uses them well jon toth is surprising that he still hasn't been picked up - maybe it shows the devaluation of centers a little but he's a potential starter type which is amazing for a udfa devonte fields unfortunately will not be coming to Baltimore because of DV issues (probably why he went undrafted in the first place) will likely is like tavon-mini - in coverage etc he mirrors like a guy who should go in the 2nd round but he just is too small - unfortunately he's a guy that's only coming in to play as a returner because even your average slot receiver or scat-back is taller than him

Just saw it this evening... obviously I won't spoil it but I thought it did some things much better than the first film but also had some problems dealing with the lack of novelty value

I appreciate the steelers and I'm pretty sure they don't suck... if anything, when your main rival compliments you it's probably a sign that you are a respectable and worthy opponent

I mean its pretty easy to understand - as with much breaking news around the NFL - beat writers often report things that aren't confirmed or haven't happened yet - in the case of the draft the show always runs behind the actual draft - I assume you can understand that it might take away from someone's enjoyment if they already know what's going to happen

quick... hide the link before some of the ^^^ see it

it's ok if you dont think marlon humphrey will be a good cb because we have marshall yanda in the wings ready to play outside corner in stead...

i mean maybe they'll try and reanimate aaron hernandez too...

yes it's disappointing not to get offense but outside of juju in the 2nd and maybe isaiah ford in the 6th who should we have taken that would have been a player worth the pick we might have taken them at and were they better than the player we took in stead - maybe i would have taken ardarius stewart or chris godwin ahead of chris wormley but that's one pick and there would still be complaints about not doing anything for the offense
