If you could spend one day with a Ravens player or coach who would it be and why? 'Current player/coach'

[BOLDnPurPnBlacK]

Marc Trestman... In hopes that his daughter shows up at some point!

[redrum52]

Matt Elam

We both like to Eat Greedy

You probably both tackle about the same as well...

I'd probably pick Suggs. One of the guys whoa been there the longest and seems like he'd be one of the most fun.

Brilliant choice

[BmoreBird22]

John Urschel - he seems like a guy that I'd have a lot of interests in common with.

You're both geniuses that publish math articles with names hardly anyone understands in highly prestigious journals?

I'm in my last year of medical school - so we both have a thirst for knowledge in common.  We both like to challenge ourselves physically and mentally - me by competing in marathons (someday a triathalon I hope), him by playing football.  I just think we'd have a lot of similar things to talk about.  Although I will fully admit that math was not one of my stronger subjects in college.

It was just a joke, don't worry.

Joe because he's my favorite player

[Ravenseconbeast]

For those of you wanting to hang with Suggs, he is not as personable as you might think. I wired his house and been back many times for additional work including a large 3 car garage addition. Although I kept it very professional, never once did I get a "how you doing" or any interest in the work I was performing like most customers would do. I also did Marvin's, Jamal's and Jermaine's houses. They were much more friendly to work for.

If I had my choice it would have to be Ray. I would love a chance to pick his brain for a little. The guy has always moved me and I can't wait for his book release.

Talk about being a proffesional...maybe you should keep it proffesional and just appreciate the business.

Not everyone has to cater to please in comfort of his own home..

I would like to spend time with so many Ravens players and coaches I can't really name one right off the top of my head. However, these names come to mind and I wouldn't mind getting any of them if one was all I could get to spend time with:

Flacco

Harbaugh

Urshel

Steve Smith Sr.

Webb

Suggs

Yanda

Trestman

Pees

Jernigan

Williams

D. Smith

Forsett

Tucker

Marlon Brown

Canty

Bisciotti

Ozzie

DeCosta

Hortiz

 

Give me any one of these and I will be thrilled! Highlighted ones I would be delighted to spend time with first if all were available to me.

[GrimCoconut]

I would maybe take Tucker, seems like the most laid back and nice guy. Propably the funniest person to be around

My pick as well. Jimmy Smith is a close second since I'm such a big fan.

[i82much]

Can I pick a cheerleader?  I'll let you guess what we'd talk about ...

[Blackbirds Rule]

Great question. Mine would be Brandon Williams. He's seems laid back and cool. Suggs, Smith Sr, Jernigan, and Urshel would round out my top 5. For coaches/ owners I would go with Biscotti and Newsome. For all time Ravens it would be Lewis, Reed, Siragusa, Woodson, and Sharpe. Deion Sanders too.

Both tackle that buffet about the same #EatGreedy

This, it would truly be a toss up between him, Urschel, and Forsett. 

 

All three seem to be very humble guys that you could have a conversation with and you would not walk away disappointed. I think that all three of these guys are great role models. I definitely like Urschel because we both have a love for mathematics although I did not make it a career I took as many upper level Math electives as I could. I will say I dont make as much money as him, but I am comfortable and I still choose to put money away and hopefully retire in my 40's. Him making the decision to drive a used Versa and live off 25,000 a year makes me think we would have something in common as far as fiscal responsibility and maybe the value of long term commodities and durable goods over short term investments for the hopes of those visceral spikes that are only an infinitesimal representation of investments. At least, that would be ideal. 

Forsett because he took a long road to get here but he is here and his money has not changed him. He understands how finite the amount of time you play football is and lives his life accordingly. I think that he is a great role model for perseverance and someone that you can have your kid look up too and not have to worry about what ridiculous things he will say in the media or that he will be arrested. I think he is genuinely a really good dude. 

 

I also like Brandon Williams for that reason. Humble guy who had to work his way through a college that was not a pro factory and played his tail off. He has lived a day in the life of a normal man and he remains rooted in a strong sense of self. He would probably be the most likely to make it through life without bankruptcy if his football career ended unexpectedly. He has worked hard and has had to live within his means.

 

I think any of these guys are guys you could talk to about real life issues and get direct and honest feedback and probably some insight from personal experience, Williams and Forsett especially. They are my new Jarrett Johnsons.

[Militant X 1]
