2011 Wishlist

[MJSMOOTH]

1.Fix the O-line- move Oher back to Right Tackle If healthy bring back Gaithers if not draft a LT.

2. Get Joe Flacco to grow up

3.Sign that great corner that the raiders just release.

4.Draft a MLB Future RAY LEWIS if we can find him

5.Get a pass rusher to help suggs

6. Give Mcgahee and McClain more touches that means signing a TRUE full back like in 08 when we had NEAL.

7.Don't throw that ball more throw is better stick to Ravens football which is running the football and playing solid Defence.

8. Cam needs to call better plays more creative plays

9. Learn how to beat steelers I don't think its a matter of play calling when it comes to beating the steelers.

Yeah,, I already know a playoff appearance is good enough for you.

It's just a guessing game if Boldin would rather be here. I guarantee he's not happy about how he was used here. I guarantee he's asking, why did the Ravens bring me here?

You know me how? Please enlighten me.....

#1 get nnamdi asomugha, we cannnot continue to ignore our suspect secondary its going to continue to kill us unless we adress it!
^^^
Everyone in the secondary except for Carr & Ed Reed is expendable!

#2 Start Kindle! Sorry J.Johnson is a solid player but we need more than a one man pass rush and i believe up front we need to use multiple/different looks and allow our faster lb's such as gooden & prescott burgess to come off the edge more!!!

#3 Work more out of the shotgun! By all means im not saying become the Saints but flacco's suspect mobility can be limited and he will be able to focus more on getting the ball out instead of pass rushers

#4 Blitz more often and with higher percentage! we have too many great athletes to be a stand still defense!!!! we are too versatile to not be blitzing! use our depth and create more blitz packages and stunts!

#5 Get rid of D.Landry! he hits hard but he lacks range and instincts we need a safety that can cover more and make QB's Pay. Im not saying we need another Ed Reed but we need a guy like Antrelle Rolle or Eric Berry...someone complete, more of a playmaker!

#1 The Ravens have addressed the secondary. They've done so every year for a longer time than people like to remember.

Webb and Foxworth are expendable?

#2 Kindle has to earn his way on the field.

1 Not going to happen
2 Kindle may not even be cleared to play football and you have him starting?
3 I actually agree here
4 We actually blitz often, just need another edge rusher
5 Landry is, IMO, a pretty decent SS and really isn't even in the top 5 for Ravens off season priorities

There's no guarantee that Kindle will actually be able to play next year. If he can, it's better he's used as a situational pass-rusher until he becomes more acclimated to the NFL game.

I agree with this. It's proven that Flacco and the passing game operate better out of the shotgun.

We blitzed a good deal in 2010, it's more about winning one-on-one matchups.

Semi-agreed. A safety that is better in pass-coverage would be a luxury but those are hard to find.

ditch Cam

[XxSizzleXx]

I change my wish to Ngata signing for an insane home discount, which would open up the bank to then bring in Nnamdi.

4 year/45million would be helluva savings.

Who knows maybe Foxy ends up restructuring his deal for a lot less?

It's the off-season, I'm going to do a lot of wishing.

Heres to going 18-0 next year! lol

With the Bengals rumored to be losing Palmer, Ochco and Owens they could be doing some rebuilding. Browns are up and coming but still need a lot of pieces. If we can figure out how to beat the Steelers and Colts with the schedule we have next season - not completely out there.

That defense was arguably the best of all-time. They only come around once in a blue moon. And with the NFL moving more to an offensive game. I doubt you'll find anything that closely resembles that.

But its a wish list...cant a guy dream!

[jj2020]

Yup it has been said but 1 - 100 fire cam 101 beef up our secondary fire cam again. Then ground kindle and make him get permission from Ray Lewis before doing anything then fire cam again

[RavenMike22]

1. Lock up Ngata
2. Re-build O-line
3. Develop young receivers/tight-ends
4. Strengthen secondary
5. Lock up Koch
6. Find page 2 of offensive playbook
7. Allow Kindle and Cody to become compliments to Suggs and Ngata
8. Build Flaccos vision and confidence

If the Jets don't re-sign him.

[RL52TheGreatest]

1) Nnamdi comes to Baltimore after taking drastically less money because he's tired of playing for a losing team and barely getting noticed.

2) Upon Nnamdi signing, Champ Bailey decides he wants to still play corner and comes to Baltimore for vet minimum to play alongside Nnamdi.

3) Sergio Kindle is cleared to play and instantly wreaks havoc on opposing QB's with Suggs. Nnamdi, Champ, Webb, and Wilson let barely anyone get open (and even if they do, there's ED REED) and so the Ravens average 8 sacks a game. Oh, and Kiwanuka was signed for when Suggs and Kindle need a breather...

4) Ravens' D surpasses D of 2000 leading Goodell to bring up many possible rule changes for the following season. One such projected change will involve "flags" and a certain QB named "Brady".

5) Cam actually learns from his mistakes and aside from just utilizing players better, lets Joe free. With his new-found freedom, Joe enters beast mode and breaks Brady's TD record while throwing for 350+ per game. Boldin sets the record for most TD receptions in a season as well.

6) Gaither comes back from injury with a vengeance and is moved back to LT. Oher goes back to RT, Yanda moves back to RG, and our O-line starts to dominate again. Ray Rice goes back to his '09 form and keeps churning out 100+ yds per game on the ground while also contributing in the receiving game.

7) Ravens go 16-0 in the regular season and get the #1 seed in the AFC. After their bye week, the Colts come into Baltimore and get stomped after Peyton throws 5 picks and gets sacked 6 times (hey, the Colts' O-line had a pretty good game). Next week, the hated Steelers stop by and Big Ben has the worst outing of his career. He only throws 3 picks, but he gets sacked 10 times and is even taken out of the game a couple times after getting knocked around. The offense also plays flawless football and there isn't even as much as a bad snap. Ravens win 52-3. Finally, for the Super Bowl, the NFC champs are so scared that they almost don't even show up. Ravens dominate and this time their special teams doesn't even give up a TD and they get the first Super Bowl shutout.

Hmm...this is more of a dream-list than a wish-list, but whatever...

Haha true. Let's see if that quick-pass offense works on Nnamdi and Champ! mwahahaha

[the hard nosed bird]

This might sound crazy but I only have 2 wishes for next year. Trade Bulger, since we're not going to use him anyway, to the very needy Arizona Cardinals and swap # 1's to grab Patrick Peterson in the first round. If we have to give up a 3 or 4 with it, it may be worth that pick. Especially considering the fact that most of our rookies don't take the field until later weeks or the next season. Our players are to good to loose their spot so we really have nothing to loose.Peterson is a solid big corner with very nice cover skills. Given the right opportunity, can even be elite in the NFL. Just imagine a lock down corner like Peterson with Carr, Foxworth, Webb, Wilson, & Reed in the secondary. The second wish is to improve the O-line so Flacco can have time to hit his targets on the field. In Oz we trust, go Ravens, make it happen.

Damn good point!! Having Peterson work with the players and staff we have would be a great off-season play to develop a strong shut-down corner!

This would be amazing, we have a massive need for more speed on Offense.

I am confident that we will lock up Ngata.

O line needs to be addressed, hopefully Ozzie can find a center in the draft and try to sign a veteran tackle.

Our other major need is a pass rusher opposite of Suggs. Im hoping Kindle will be back next season, but there are no guarantees.
