Thanks.  It's weird having to look for reports that aren't from Aaron Wilson.

So we're cutting Webb, right guys? Right???

[BmoreBird22]

I heard Ozzie was too ashamed to even cut Webb. Had him sit in the port-a-pot, alone

[K-Dog]

Ya know its not like Webb walked into practice carrying a family box from Royal Farms.

Ease up on the guy.

Nagata and J.J. didnt pass on their first try's last year, their seasons turned out fine. 

People need to take a chill pill.

[lgcs27288]

Did they use pads today? From all the videos I've seen, it doesn't look like it.

No, pads are on Saturday I believe

Think I remember reading it's tomorrow.

Could definitely be wrong though.

Per Harb's presser today, 1st practice in pads is Sat.

The Ravens Conditioning Test is a Bear

 

Ryan Mink posted this a couple year's ago after rookie Courtney Upshaw failed his first attempt. It explains what's involved in the test.

[ravensdan]

Uh....

Jacoby Jones.

[BmoreBird22]

Jacoby Jones.

No, I was just saying that Jacoby Jones had arguably his worst year here in every aspect as a player.

Haha, after reading that, I think I would participate in 90% of the off season program just so I wouldn't have to take the test.

You're not wrong - Saturday is tomorrow.

[rmw10]

Well, for you guys overseas lol.  It's still Thursday here.

*spoiler alert*

 

I'm now going to tell you what happened on Friday...

[K-Dog]

No, I was just saying that Jacoby Jones had arguably his worst year here in every aspect as a player.

But not due to his conditioning or lack there of, either way, point being, the current Webb drama is unnecessary.

it definitely is given the notorious nature of the conditioning test

I stand corrected, as expected.

Thanks for clarifying.

[Ravens#5]

I can't wait for Ravens Football. This is going to be a great year for the Ravens. I also can wait to play as the Ravens in Madden NFL 16

 

[757RavensFan]

Thanks for clarifying.

No worries.

Where's the info coming from?  Curious to read or hear whoever it's coming from.

Mike Preston's sun report. Said Butler dropped some balls that appeared to be easy catches. He also said the entire offense struggled with timing, which is to be expected imo. The defense plays faster then the offense early on. I bet even Trestman took a bit to adjust because the Ravens TC happen so fast it's almost like a game for a play caller. So it wouldn't surprise me if Pees won day 1.

But i also heard that while the offense started slow, the WR really turned it on and put on a show.

That's the important part of the post. Would love to see Baltimore's version of the greatest show on turf.

Day 2 starts at 10am.   Stack, Stack, Stack!!

One thing that impresses me so far is the great attitudes of all the players coming back to camp. When a 36 year old receiver is spinning the ball and having fun, it has to be one of the best camps in the NFL to get back to work. IMHO our organization is one heck of a first class operation. I also like that many the players stated that they were happy that we have no distractions this year. I just assumed the players just dealt with that stuff and let it roll off their backs, but evidently distractions do somewhat wear on their nerves. We are starting off clean this year and I like it! I hope things continue to stay so positive!

Webb passed his conditioning test per Aaron Wilson. Not sure if Casey Walker passed his or not.

[Kid87]

Ive been hearing how fast Perriman is so that's good.. Havent heard about drops so that's good too

Yeah, last year when everyone was barraged answering non-football related questions (Rice) I'm sure it took its toll.  This year their only focus is what's happening on the field and not off.

Walker is an injury situation - knee tendonitis, I believe.

[Ravensfan23]

He had a drop or two yesterday but that's to be expected. Honestly i think his hands are vastly overblown. People only report on his drops because he had a bad wrap for drops in college. That's cool but because of that knock, one drop will get a ton of mentions. Guys like TO, Steve Smith and Brandon Marshall are high drop guys but you never really hear about that part of then because they are reliable in most cases. If Perriman continues to do exactly what he's been doing since putting on that Ravens uniform he'll quite all the talk about his drops and make people focus on his talents.
