2015 Training Camp Updates

[Bruce_Almty]

I really really want Brooks' name in the hat when the starting safeties are being decided between Hill, Lewis and Elam.

 

Only Hill is guaranteed to start and even then its unsure which Position. 

If he starts the season on PUP, Brooks may be this years Will Hill and come on strong in the 2nd half of the season. Like the rest of ya, I have high hopes for Terry.

Guess he didn't Google?

Ha, zing!

If he goes on the PUP and then does well the 2nd half of the season, that means whoever played the 1st 6 weeks must stink. It's kind of hard to bump a 6 week starter unless he's horrible or injured.

People are sleeping on Kendrick Lewis, I think this coaching staff has already penciled him in as the starter next to Hill. Yes spots are earned and not given but I think he's our guy at FS and it's his starting job to lose in the coaches eyes.

Agreed. IMO, Lewis was brought in to start at FS allowing Hill to move to SS.

There are injuries that will certainly occur, hopefully not major, and we rotated that position a lot last year, for many reasons. I think it's certainly possible to make an impact without completely unseating a starter.

Is it just me or does Maxx Williams look really out of shape?

He looks like a tackle right now to me.

[rafahash]

I live off his twitter feed, this is a gigantic blow

 

Yes it is, my friend. This may be our biggest loss for the 2015 season. I loved that guy

 

I wish him luck

regarding offseason football players, ive seen much worse

[The Mom Gene]

Me personally, I wouldn't get too concerned until the time comes, and he wasn't ready.  Before we all begin getting overy concerned...  just wait and see what happens.

[Bltravens]

That's pretty sloppy though...especially for a 22 year old kid.

[1/28/01]

Yeah and is that a pontoon? Have some respect man and buy a real boat!

[Edgar]

That's pretty sloppy though...especially for a 22 year old kid.

he's always appeared a little soft in the middle. definitely needs to get stronger..... i'm going to predict 39 catches and 5 td's for this year.....and i think he is 21.

[sflegend89]

Maxx could definitely be in better shape but keep in mind people's body fat always shows more when sitting down. Plus he's a TE, they don't all look like Vernon Davis lol. Being back at the Castle where he can get healthy meals whenever he wants, lift, and run around in pads all day in training camp will probably do wonders for him. People think because he's really young he should be in better shape but for the big fellas it's usually the contrary. They aren't as in tune with their bodies like the vets are, they don't know as much as they should about nutrition, and they don't know what kind of weight room work they have to put in to make it through a deceptively long 16 game season (plus postseason in Baltimore).

I thought he was 20... might have just turned 21

yep, that's the one. There was so much hype around the guy fresh after the draft -then he has a not so great showing in OTA's and minicamp, and also has a minor injury.. not a huge deal but it's a little concerning. Atleast we got a month to whip him into shape. But at this point when compared to Boyle you would think that nick was the second round pick. Edited July 25, 2015 by January J

From what I heard in OTA's and minicamp, he was a chain mover who just caught everything thrown his way

Yeah he just turned 21 in May.  First Ravens player ever younger than me.  Can't say I like it lol

He's got me beat by about 7 months

I heard that about Gilmore... And I heard a lot of positive things about Boyle. But from what I remember everybody was wondering why there was almost no reports on Maxx whatsoever, and many assumed it was because he wasn't doing much. Not saying what you heard isn't true- I just never heard anything like that. The best I heard was that he had a decent camp but has a lot to learn. Which is expected in a way - not saying it like it's some big thing and we should panic, just that the reports on Boyle were a lot better. I mean the kid is only 21 years old so he's got a lot of grooming and growing to do. But from the bit of footage I saw, Maxx looked completely exhausted and worn out, I guess I was just expecting him to be in better shape bc of all the hype that was around the guy. Still got high expectations for him though, I just definitely think it will be a much slower process than I thought and may take a few years. Edited July 25, 2015 by January J

And every bit of footage I saw, Maxx looked completely exhausted and worn out.

I'll try to find the report, but I just heard he was catching everything and moving the chains. He wasn't doing anything flashy or spectacular, just doing what was expected of him.

[January J]

I'm sure the news has been broken already .. But it's official. Dennis pitta and Terrence brooks have been added to the PUP

[uhhhh]

regarding offseason football players, ive seen much worse

You mean Terrence Cody? He was always out of shape

[DomMcRaven]

Yeah he just turned 21 in May.  First Ravens player ever younger than me.  Can't say I like it lol

no kidding man, It's wild thinking about it..I'm only 27 so half of the players in sports in general are younger than me- really makes you wonder.
