Brendon Ayanbadejo tweets Pats offense is a 'gimmick'

[berad]

Why BA? Focus on your poor ST game instead of giving the Patriots something to harp on.

I have no problem with the trash talk if you back it up. And if Ray doesn't mind. Maybe this is a trick cause they want them to run the offense and catch them off guard. Don't mind confidence, but BA, you're not even a starter.

Naah, I don't like it. BA has no business talking trash. He's a special teamer, and he's talking trash two days after his unit gave up two TDs. He needs to shut his mouth. Nobody was trash-talking in the previous games where we played well. Just study the game, practice, and go out on that field and perform well. That sends a much bigger message than talking trash ever will.

[frozen joe flacco fan]

Shut up, Brendon!

[bmorefan444]

BA......shut up. Looks bad on the orgranization, looks bad for you personally, and it gives the Patriots some extra motivation.

[GrimCoconut]

I echo the opinions of others: focus on our special teams that gave up 2 TDs.

This isn't as bad as Kruger's comment, but this is just a stupid comment where the other was arrogant.

That "gimmick" scored 30 points on us earlier in the year in our house............

Cheaters! LOL!

[blackbird29]

Just went on BA's twitter and he just posted an apology for his tweets. Too little too late in my opinion.

[FerrariFan87]

Yeah, the "damage" is already done, but glad that he sees the error of his ways... even if it took a teammate or someone from the Ravens to point it out to him.

I am quite sure he didn't see the error of his ways. Someone within the team probably pulled him to the side and told him that was a pretty dumb thing to say and do. Stop poking the bear. But yes the damage is done and just gives Brady and the Patriots more fuel for the fire.

[theblackdog]

Come on, BA is a human just like the rest of us and he probably got caught up in the moment and said something he shouldn't have said on a public forum. As long as he and the rest of the special teams fix their issues from last Saturday, this will be a moot point.

[blackbird29]

Something he needs to remember is talk is cheap. Shut up and let your play do the talking. And after the ST gave up two TD returns he has no room to talk about anything in my book.

The truth is it is "gimmicky" . The NFL stepped in and stopped Sam Wyche and Esiason from doing something along these lines (although different) years ago. They won't stop NE from changing because everyone knows certain franchises get degrees of leeway from the NFL offices. No franchise ,coach or player benefits more from the officiating and NFL offices than Belicheat and Brady. The NFL destroyed evidence in the spygate case, there was much more than ever let on. Belicheck will always find a way to bend the rules.

Brain O' Leary's book exposes the whole pathetic cheating , yet anyone connected to the Patriot franchise nor their fans have any shame at all. No amount of first round draft picks taken from these people would be too much. They are the dregs of the NFL and deserve no respect for legitimately winning anything.

I'm watching highlights of the Giants Super Bowl and what is the recievers first thought after a big catch? Watch it be "a flag somewhere" , NFL players and coaches know it the fans know it.

That said, BA should stop twittering and play ball.

If it's legal, then it's not gimmicky.

[YYZ66]

Lovely, 4th string inside LB and overrated "special teams ace" giving New England bulletin board material.
I see that he tweeted an apology. Probably after Harbs tore him a new one.
Thanks BA....

[Ragin'Raven]

"You ever say something like this again, I will kick you off this team so fast...They don't need anything else to feed on to get ready for us. You let your trash talking take place in your play on the field, and don't go air it out to the media. You understanding me?

Twenty minutes later.... Logging onto Twitter.... "I'm sorry for...."


Yeah, it probably went something like that today..

[Cville-Raven]

Can we please cut BA seriously after that last performance of ST's, he's already ripping a team that could beat us badly.

[cwfRaven]

Glad to see he apologized, whether "prompted" or not. Unfortunately, you can't un-ring a bell...

[Bump N Run]

I think Brendon needs to worry about making tackles and staying in his lane on special teams and zip it.

[baltravensrj55]

damn BA. He needs to work on his special teams coverage and stop worrying about other teams. He missed a tackle on the first return that was scored against us. C'mon man!

[Bump N Run]

just another example of Brendon trying to bring attention to himself. this dude is as narcissistic as they come. post some more pics of your abs, ya [profanity deleted].

[baltravensrj55]

actually BA screwed up pretty bad on both returns and could have made both tackles

ugh still living in denial that the pats have just been that good consistently for a very long time so like most bonehead patriot haters you use loose facts that don't even add up to anything serious to try and downplay how good our team has been and is. You certainly aren't a bright raven fan are you.

[ravens_4life]

if we get blown out sunday i am blaming ba for this. it doesnt matter anyway, now brady is coming, coming for blood. i notice how when teams talk trash like that before games they usually get blown out. good job ba. Idiot. i bet you that commet cost him his job. ba wont be a raven next year.

[ravens_4life]

i wasnt really that nervous about sunday. with that stupid comment i just got a bad feeling.

[adam713]

I really really don't like BA doing this. It's pointless and stupid. Honestly, these are the types of tweets you put out when you've been drinking or something.

Yet, I don't think it matters. Just got to want it like we did in Denver.

[redrum52]

Billick said you don't tip toe into the lions den. I guess BA agreed. Like I said, if they team knew and didn't mind then cool. If he was the only one who felt like this which I doubt, not a good look. This got out to the public very fast.

And honestly, after thinking, I'm not that mad. Let em be angry. If we can't match their intensity cause of this crap then the team didn't deserve to win. Ravens will be prepared and this will be a physical game. Trust me, everyone who was on the team last year remembers what happened and the clock and down "issues". This will come down to capitalizing early on their mistakes or defensive stops. We MUST build lead.

[RavensFanInCA]

I trust the Ravens and Ray Lewis to slow down the no huddle. I think back to when we played Miami in the '08 season when they unveiled the Wildcat. Some people called it a gimmick but it worked. What happened when they played us? Didn't work. If it was so infallible, it would be how everyone runs their offense now.

There's a difference between the hurry up and the wildcat. There is a way to stop the wildcat, and it's actually easy to do so. But, there is no effective way to stop the hurry up. How do you slow it down? There's only one way to do it, and that's by sacking Brady and hitting him repeatedly. Not an easy task.
