1 guy I miss/1 guy I wish

[BmoreBird22]

Still doesn't compare to Boldin

Yes, doesn't compare to Boldin because being ignorant is so much better (please consider that Doom's cap hit would have fit on the team with Boldin).

[The Raven]

As for as Kalil goes, do you really think the Panthers would unload him with how their offensive line was getting new faces? Plus, how's his cap hit since he was once the highest paid center in the league?

 

Oh no, I definitely don't think they'd unload him and he wouldn't fit in our cap. That's why he's my wish. Zuttah's decent and all, but having a dominant center like Kalil would make our run game ten times better, especially in the red zone.

I still wish Alex Mack weren't under the transition tag. Too bad the Ravens didn't get a one year replacement because the Jags put in a clause where Mack could opt out of his deal after the first year, if I'm not mistaken.

[Gordo52]

I miss our old scary defense. I don't think our defense scares anyone anymore.

I wish for any free safety that could fly sideline to sideline.

Get what you're saying but with the way the leagues gotten there's really only 1 scary defense left.

[balfan23]

If Rex got fired (not likely) I think he would entertain coming here because of Suggs Nagta and harbaugh IMO . Did he he get an extension last year or something ?

I just don't see Rex ever coming back. The saying "you can't go back" I feel holds true here. In the end, I Bisciotti didn't want him to be the face of the franchise and I'm going to guess Rex felt dissed for not being offered the HC job here. 

[Seseau]

Ewww no I wouldn't want Rex back in Baltimore.

 

Plus he would probably only entertain the idea of HC nothing less.

 

I don't miss Boldin. Smith Sr. has been ideal for us.

 

Wish: Megatron

[AsianRice]

I always want Rex to be our DC, not HC.  Although he wants to be a HC, he already fulfills his dream in NY; it's time for him to come back to B-more.......

 

PS: as long as we keep winning, Pees ain't go nowhere.....

[arnie_uk]

What's so funny?

out of eveyone we've had u pick Kruger? Who had one good stretch when suggs came back from his injury?

No ed reed, lewis, thomas, price, cmac, jo to name a few.

And Kelvin benjamin?

Have you only been following the league for a yr?

[busterblue52]

Miss: Ray Lewis/Ed Reed They come as a package

Wish: Calvin Johnson

[KBoum]

I really like Ryan's schemes. But Ravens don't have S. Richardson or M. Wilkerson on their roster.

Ngata isnt there anymore, Canty is not and Williams is kinda the Jets NT, D. Harrison.

 

I believe we have better LBs and we certainly have better CBs. Safeties, they might have they advantage I really loved that kid Pryor monday night.

 

Ryans exotic schemes are great when you have so so secondary and you wanna get pressure. Pees thinks he can get pressure with 4 or 5 and let the zones. But the think is we don't get so much pressure and our secondary is bad. We don't have any Cover 1 safety right now. Our safeties arent great at deep zones. Outside of Jimmy, our CBs have been bad so far this year.

 

I believe we would be better with more pressure and more man to man. C. Brown can play press coverage pretty good with pressure. Asa can hold the slot as well. Thing is they can't do it 5-7 secs.

[1/28/01]

Miss - Reed circa 2004

Wish - Rodgers (was just sitting there...ugh)

[Hardbaugh]

Miss Chuck Pagano- I felt the defense was a more professional outfit under his leadership where Rex Ryan ran quality but undisciplined unit. At times some of the penalties where embarrassing.   See Detroit and Scott throwing the refs flag for two examples.

 

Wish-No trade down for Kindle and Cody in 2010 and pick someone of that would be more productive for the franchise.

[Raven552]

I miss Jarret Johnson, especially after that hit on Hines Ward..

Nice to know having an opinion makes me ignorant. I wasn't aware

an incorrect statement which presented as fact like yours was, once rebutted, does have a case to be called ignorant.

Nothing I said was rebutted. The money we saved from cutting Boldin went towards signing doom. I know that want the plan, three other players we signed with that money i don't think play here anymore except canty who is injured.

And not the point, of preferring boldin over doom....which is opinion.

No, it was rebutted because the Ravens could have had Doom and Boldin at their current cap, no problem. They could have both, and you suggesting otherwise and showing it as fact is what is ignorant.

That's fine to want one over the other, but realize it wasn't like the Ravens chose Doom over Boldin

It's obvious they could. But we cut Boldin as part of the solution to clearing cap space for upgrading our defense. So I in that train of thought, doom is included. I realize it wasn't a cut a to sign b. Doom wasn't even supposed to hit the market.

Doom and all the players we signed from cutting Boldin didn't and still haven't lived up to what Boldin brought to the table.

no it didnt. We had cut boldin long before doom hit the free agency market. The signing of doom is no way linked to cutting boldin and visa versa

[3-4ravdef509]

Not directly no. But we cut Boldin to create cap space to improve the defense.

Doom was long after, but we had in mind/were hoping for a player like him to pass rush opposite suggs when we undertook retooling the defense, which involved cutting Boldin.

Actually, the Ravens wanted to get better in the middle and on the defensive line because teams had gashed the Ravens with the run game, something they weren't used to. That money went to improving the inside linebackers and defensive line to prevent getting embarrassed against the run. I'm sure the Ravens firmly believed that opponents rushing for 200 yards in some games set up the passing game. They weren't in the hunt for a pass rusher, but when you can get a player of Doom's caliber, you don't pass him up.

As you acknowledged, Doom and Boldin are unrelated, so try to leave them that way. Not that Boldin had done anything to justify being the highest paid slot receiver in the NFL

[Static]

Guy I miss Corey Graham.

 

Guy I wish , Tyrann Mathieu

Yes again, I wasn't trying to apply they were directly related, but rather that the money we are spending on doom I'd rather be spending on Boldin,

And take Boldin out of the playoff run, and we don't even get anywhere near sniffing the Super Bowl.

Botin didn't thrive here statistically because of the scheme we ran, where as the scheme we are running now, he would thrive well

but thats like saying the money we used to pay flacco, you'd rather use on signing Calvin Johnson. They aren't related.

We weren't paying boldin 6mil, he just simply wasn't worth it. We asked him to take a pay cut, he said no, we cut him.

Doom and boldin aren't linked in any way shape or form. Its one thing to say you wish we kept boldin.

Its totally different to say you wish we kept boldin instead of doom.

How much is a number 1 receiver worth?? 6 mil sounds like a steal...

If you don't think he's a number 1....no clue where to go from there as we're on different hemispheres.

$6 million is what Wes Welker is making and I can tell you he's far and away better than Boldin in the slot.

No, I don't think he is, and he hasn't been since his rookie year

Boldin was a part of an offense that began to correctly use the receivers and began spreading the ball around to multiple targets in a more effective manner. Sure, he helped, but he wasn't the reason for a Super Bowl run. It was everything clicking at the right time

I respectfully disagree. Boldin stole the show in Indy, which opened the defense up for the rest of the receivers. Denver thought they should double Boldin and that Champ could lockdown Torrey. That backfired. Then the Patriots went reverse but talib got injured and their plan went to shambles plus Boldin again went beast mode. In the superbowl The 49ers didn't seem to do any one thing to try and take anyone away except trying to put pressure on Flacco. We pummeled them until the blackout and lost momentum and then Boldin stepped up with quite possible the most important play of the game to give us the extra points we needed. Boldin was a very important cog, the key to it as he started it.

No one is debating his importance, but no one is hyping up the throws Joe made, the catches and returns Jacoby had, the interceptions Corey had, how amazing the offensive line was, etc. When you think about it, Boldin did well, but you're over hyping him
