We all suspected Joe had to make his adjustments. I believe Joe had a harder disappointment when Daniels left.

IMO Pitta is no longer a Raven after this season. He seems to be doomed with an injury that IS life changing. Sucks:-(

Daniels at his best as a Raven wasn't even as good as Pitta at his worst.....

Of course he has moved on.

I thought of Daniels as his key replacement and those two were on the same page much like Dennis and Joe were.  Since Dennis was on IR quite a bit Joe made his route adjustments with Owen and thats the platform I have come from.  Believe me I Admire Dennis and have his away jersey.  I never advocated he resign like others in here had done. .

It's going to be so amazing watching Gilmore as our #1 TE. Sparks will fly.

I don't bet but if I did, I'd be Pitta is back around week 10. He is working hard to get back,

I sincerely hope you are right and that he gets to stay there. Unfortunately, a hip dislocation is not like many of other injuries. In order to dislocate a hip the first time, you have to break a part of the bone, because the hip joint is built that way. That's why it tends to be recurrent there. After the first injury, you are missing a fundamental part of the support for the joint to stay in place and it's so much easier to dislocate again. That's why second time he didn't even have to have contact.

Crockett Gilmore is going to come on like gangbusters. He has done a good job of lowering expectations for himself and the Ravens have done a nice job of flying him under the radar, but he was drafted in the third round. To put that into perspective Ed Dickson was drafted in the third round and Dennis Pitta was drafted in the fourth..in the same year mind you. If all they thought of him was that is was a big bodied blocking TE, they could have waited until the later rounds or sniffed around the UDFA list to bring in a big body TE. Gilmore is 6'7''...the tallest target Flacco will have. He's got very long arms and big hands. We was listed about 250lbs last season and supposedly is up to about 265-270lbs with added upper body strength. He lettered in Basketball, Wrestling, Track and Field, and Football in high school where he played WR, TE, and DE. He played both DE and TE in college. The guy is a beast. He accepts his role as a blocker and that means you can start him and not worry about him taking a play off because he thinks he's a WR. Now that he's the number 1 guy I can see him and Flacco hooking up quite a bit and I think he'll really shine in the redzone. I am really going to miss Dennis Pitta because he made some outstanding plays for this team. I really feel for him getting hurt like that and give him lots of credit for coming back from this once already. If he can come back again it will be nothing short of amazing but I really want him to do what is best for his long term health. I don't want to see him going down like that again.

Before the injury Pitta was on his way to being considered as one of the top TE's in the league.
