Sounds like Kindle wasn't ready mentally, but it seems like he is now. it would be really interesting if we could start to include Kindle more. He has more speed than Paul Kruger and McPhee. Kindle could be another young impact player for us.

[orlandoraven]

Good to hear. I was expecting Kindle to be more involved with passing situations this year but Kruger's emergence and not being ready apparently killed the opportunity. Let's see what he can do.

[H8R]

Well, I think a lot of this has to do with our special teams coverage being suspect... so, this might be a ST spark the team is looking for. It's obvious our coverage has been lacking on returns ( though punt returns has been improving)

[Free Agent]

Its nice that they want to play him on special teams, because he also comes at least for a few reps on defense. We got a few looks at him against the Colts, but I hope we see him quite a bit more the rest of the season.

[Yoonkeem]

Kindle is pretty special.
there's a reason Ozzie chose him as our first pick.

I'm still hoping Ozzie's confident in what he sees in Kindle.

But i feel like he can be a pretty good sack artist when he's groomed straight...

[izvoodoo]

It took Kruger 3 years, so lets be patient.

[dontbnvus]

Just saw the interview with JJ. He said Kindle is blowin people up at practice. He just cant get on the field because of the way that everyone else is playing and the numbers. He also did mention that he expects Kindle to be a force in years to come.

Sorry To Say This But Hell Mostl Likely Be A Bust ,( Well Considered )

2/3 Years From Now I See Our Starting DLIN

SUGGS , NGATA , CODY , KRUGER

And He Never Get A Chance To Prove Himself

Then He Goes To A Team Like The JETS Who Love Our Players , Then Accels Becomes Top 10 In Sacks .

[big hits and ball hawks]

It's good to know Kindle is doing well in practice. I can't wait to see him more on defense, maybe we will Sunday night. (Not saying that I'm displeased with how the other guys are playing.) If for right now he's gonna be a beast on ST and help the team that way then I'm perfectly fine with that.

Not if we use our backups all the time, which we do under Pagano. Even if he's just used as a pass-rush specialist next year, that will be plenty valuable. Saying there's no place for him in the future is like saying there's no place for McPhee now. I'm sure he will EXCEL. Even an average-talented LB can excel in our system, and Kindle is gifted. He just has to have more time to put in the work.

[Ravenseconbeast]

Lets see what the kid has. I've been waiting for a long time to see what he has to offer to Ravens Defense. Bring IT!

Doesnt get the reps yet to be "an impact player", but 4.5 sacks and a ton more hurries is damn good!

[BmoreRavens732]

I see kindle almost the same as torrey smith...some people loved him out the draft and some didnt and torrey in preseason didnt have 1 catch iirc? And kindle no sacks...then torrey was thrown into the fire week 3 and DOWN GOES FRAIZER the kid lit it up and has been huge for us in so many ways and is quickly becoming a star...but does anyone know why this is happening besides like sergio torries got talent? Because torrey got a chance!!! And iirc torrey admitted the game was moving to fast for him at first then he got his legs under him and it was nothing but mental errors...coach harbaugh is saying its just mental things for kindle to right? Cuz we all know hes gifted and given the chance I believe he will rise...torrey had evans infront of him and kindle has krugar in his way

so you put kruger in at LE again after everybody was able to see that he is a lob? where is mcphee? where is jones?
way to start on the forum? must be a friend of wizard 1!

he will get his chances on our team. just like kruger. he also will be way better than kruger. he has a ton of potential and was one of the best players coming out of college. we took him for a reason.

next year will be suggs on one side and kindle on the other. trust me!!!

Well that's what people were saying about Kruger early on too. And look at how well he has turned out

[CapoRocky]

I hate to be so down on Kindle, but most of it is due to the bad choices that he made in his rookie season that set him back for almost 2 years now. I am not a big fan of trading down in the draft. We could have had Gronkowski in our lineup and many more TDs than even Heap put up in his prime.

Kindle definitely derailed his career to an extent with the accident his rookie but he still has time to get back on track.

As for trading down, there's nothing wrong with it and it made sense that year.

As for Gronkowski, do you [i]really[/i] think he'd be putting up the numbers he's putting up as a Patriot if the Ravens had drafted him?

[Bltravens]

Great news, the more talent dressed on Sunday's the better I always think.

Yup! If Kruger was in as much as Suggs you might see 7-10 sacks out of him this year. That would be rather impactful!

Ravens offensive system is totally different than the Patriots offensive system; besides, Cam is nowhere near Belichick in term of football genius. If Cam uses all the talents on our offensive correctly, Joe should puts up big numbers. What happened to Boldin in slot reciever?

PS: it's December football, and I don't want Cam to screw us up again; 25+carries for Rice per game is the right call for Cam. Other than that, he can call whatever he wants cuz we can't change who Cam is.


Back to topic, with Pagano under the helm, every1 on our defense should shine in his system. The man uses every1's strength......Kindle will make a great impact on our pass rush in December....

[jdynamite]

Nice that kindle has finally earned some respect of the coaching staff. I have been constantly on the forum wondering why he couldn't at least be apart of special teams like in preseason... ( he was out football for an entire league and we had no real offseason this year so even less developmental time for a player in his situation. ).

He has the talent to become a contributor and I believe our coaching staff will mold him into a professional....

[bmorefan444]

Our defense doesn't have weak players right now so it's hard to pull someone out to make room for Kindle. His time well come.

[Guest RBates]

Are some of you even serious? The man has completely lost hearing in one ear. It will take him a while to get use to that alone. We know that he has talent that's a given. I'm not going to give up on him. I like what i see. Sergio just needs a few years and a little support.

Oh and one other thing just like all Ravens- SERGIO NEEDS TO PUT THE HULK ON.<<<<<<<<This means tear up the weight room. Copyrighted the phrase.....lol

[BloodRaven]

Year 1: Sergio Kindle becomes self aware.

Didnt he already bulk up significantly from his "rookie" year? Pictures of him this year makes it look like he's up to 250-255 which is plenty big enough for the position he plays.

Yeah bulking up is only half, to put the hulk on, you have to be able to use it as well. EX. Kruger bulked up, but he couldn't carry it. Now he has the Hulk on him.

Pernell Mchee must have been born with the hulk.

[BloodRaven]

To build on that, everyones frame is different and designed to carry an ideal weight. Kruger simply wasn't built to carry 275lb.

As for Kindle, the guy might be jacked but he's very top heavy, his legs look like chicken bones.

I think that JJ may be signing elsewhere nezt yr as a free agent... the Jets will try to throw money at him that we can't match. And in comes a combo and Kruger and Kindle. A nightmare tandom in the making...
