I'm glad he has respect of our guys.

We don't need Chip Kelly to tell us who is legit on the RAvens and who is not. HArbs track record in the NFL means a lot more then Kellys does!

[PauleB]

Shouldn't it be second-round cornerback instead of second-year?

[Crusader]

ENOUGH of that crap "Elite" who REALLY cares? As long as Joe is a Raven and healthy is all that matters to Ravens fans.

[The Mom Gene]

Now, Now... I'll take those compliments any day. I love my "elite" QB. You're right Cru, Nobody can tell me he's not, but the media may have a field day with it. That's all.

Philly should be respected as well no matter what drama circles them they keep everything professional and in-house.

Philadelphia reporters asking if Chip Kelly "slowed down practice to accomadate the Ravens"?????? I found this statement kind of offensive, no pun intended...... It makes it sound as if our team is old, all rookies, or just incompetent.... I have a great deal of respect for the Eagles organization, but I guess reporters will ALWAYS be dumb reporters.....jmho...

Sorry "accommodate"....

I completely agree with you! Reading news from Eagles staff writers and journalists or comments from fans, they all seem to think that their team is watering down the practice so we could keep up. Arrogant naive little people

 

They'll see come Saturday who needs to keep up with who!!

[RAVENSNAYSHUN]

With all due respect, who has the "reputation for being the NFL%u2019s offensive genius"??? Chip Kelly??? After just 2 years in the league and two-10 win seasons??? Hyperbole much... But I agree, Joe's elite

[BmoreB]

I think I'm a Chip Kelly fan now.

Flacco is lookin' swoleee

[Bmore#410]

flacco looks like he put on at least 15lbs of muscle and I just pray we can get through camp and pre season without a mjor injury I hate pre-season because of that. I think Flacco is under rated The stat I care about most is Ws and he gets them. He is a lot more poise, he seems to have eliminated thoseOhh NO JOE plays lol. For any QB going through 4 ocs in 4 years has gotta be tough. I remember dutler last year saying it takes 3 years to fully know a playbook lol maybe he start actually out work in the playbook. I couldnt be happier to have Joe Cool running the ravens offense.

[Crusader]

Remember this guy name Tashaun Gipson on the Cleavland Browns Joe. 12 interceptions in 2 years.

[bostonraven]

Flacco probably always played with a chip on his shoulder, but now he has a Chip on his back

At least one Philly reporter agrees with Kelly.

I wish I could have seen these practices. Everyone sees something different when they watch them. A week and a half ago I saw Waller and training camp and made comments here and wrote an article on another site that pointed out that Waller may be that guy to fill Perrimans shoes with his size and 4.47 speed. Now he is showing that. I would have loved to see this practice just to see how the Ravens stacked up. To read these articles you would think the Eagles didn't even show up but after all it's the Ravens site, which is why I would have loved to have seen them go head to head.

Kelly recognizes that we have an elite quarterback in Flacco. I am sure that he also knows that his team is not even close to having one. Nice to read his compliments about our team; especially the OL and DL, where the game is always decided.
