[News] Late For Work 9/10: 'Doggone' Joe Flacco Returns To Scene Of Crime

[H8ME]

Seemed like a knee jerk reaction to cut Jacoby J. after one bad year. His individual talents can change a game at any time. He's a play maker.

Second, yes they made a mistake letting go of Jacoby..because hes a deepthreat/elite returner even with drops and singlehandedly won 5-6 games over the yrs. Including but not limited to Snowbowl v Vikings, Playoffs at Denver, key in SB, v Squeelers etc..

Now not only do we not have a legitimate returner, but we dont have a true explosive deep threat with Perriman down..

[Gorgee3]

HENSLEY, LETS NOT FORGET.

1.

We don't have anyone returning punts with security nor experience.

2.

In the 2013 season the Ravens weren't a good team ending 8-8 and Jacoby was still pulling miracle plays, it could have been worse.

3.

It's not Jacobys fault that trawick Bashed Jacobys knee and sprained his mcl.

4.

Did trawick get cut!?

Did he make it as a starter?

It wasn't a good idea to cut Jacoby. Jacoby has talent and experience, swagg and was a game changer. Every season he did special things.

As for cutting Daniel Brown for Asa Jackson. That was a terrible move. Jackson does more damage to his own team! D brown proved something in the preseason. Favorites, body types draft picks and all that is not the best way to go. There's also unrestricted free agents out there trying to find a way.

[Grapple Raven]

Whether cutting Jacoby was a mistake remains to be seen, however it would have been nice to see if Jacoby could have bounced back this year as a Raven before giving him the pink slip. Just sayin'!

[The Mom Gene]

Well, seems like we like being technical about Ravens-games that were played 2 years ago Hope it's not a sin here

 

Or are you implying we love our Ravens too much???

 

Absolutely Not..... I wasn't chastising you guys...  Was just making a generalized statement about the Doom and Gloom of whether we can win or not on Sunday...  My point was....  "We are a completely different team that we went in there with 2 years ago"...... 

 

As Ray would have said back in the day....   You just gotta play the game, Sal

[FloridalovesRavens]

Perriman Perriman Perriman. He is hurt and will play when ready geez. Good grief people let it go. We do have 52 other players lol. Go Ravens.

It was 2 years ago that the Trawick incident happened.  LET IT GO, people.  

 

And I'm not even sure what him making the team has to do with Jacoby: Trawick is a good special teams player if you pay attention instead of obsessing over one dumb mistake 2 years ago.  And he's experienced depth at the safety position, where we're thin.  Jacoby on the other hand was just as unreliable last year as Asa Jackson was in the preseason this year, and there was no room for him as a WR.  He'd be taking up an entire roster spot just to return kicks (not that valuable anymore) and sometimes punts.  That's not enough to justify a roster spot.

I did... 

 

[Bohica5]

It was a good move dumping Jacoby when we did(we really did get the best out of him)...He is Done.....I like how Joe said that he like to play there(good jab at denver since we beat them in their very 1st game in that stadium as underdogs....as usual.....we Crushed em!)....Face it perriman is another wr bust but luckily we are good at picking up used wr's with talent left(not lee evans).......hope he gets great at handing out towels in the shower....."Towel here breshard"!!

[TheVIP74]

The Breshaud Perriman era is not getting off to a good start he has been out since July will we get much from him this first season I don't see it. He might be out for the first 4 games just my guess its too early to call him a bust but you have to be disheartened with whats going on with this guy.

[H8ME]

How is B. Perriman a bust when we haven't even played the first game yet? As far as the Jacoby situation, if Harbaugh wanted him here he'd still be here. Yes, I blame Harbaugh. This team makes some strange personnel moves. Like, why is Asa back? Why cut a young promising receiver for a four year player who's done nothing the four years he's been here? 

 

Where's the speed? Deonte Thompson's out there. He can return kicks.

Kubiak? What is a Kubiak? I thought we were done hearin' about the dude.

[Maryland]

I'm at the point where I'm tired of hearing about Perriman. It's frustrating for everyone involved, so just stop talking about him being inactive until something changes. Once he does start practicing, it'll be a pleasant surprise.

[huntrgathrr]

Kubiak should have stayed as an offensive coordinator. He has a good chance to implode in Denver this year as a HC. Both KC and San Diego look better than Denver. How will Elway feel about Kubiak when he finishes 3rd in the division. I think Elway made a terrible move in firing John Fox. It was just a cry baby move because he hadn't won a super bowl. They have had a very good team for a long time. I doubt Kubiak get's anything more out of his players than Fox did.

If they open up with a loss to the Ravens, Kubiak's job will already be in jeopardy.

[DrinkmoreBeer]

The Ravens cut Daniel Brown to bring back Asa Jackson?????? I can't believe this. Jackson is a terrible CB and fumbles on returns. Here's a great idea. Activate him for the Denver game, so Manning can throw 8 TDs.

[Tru11]

you guys are way to hyped about what someone does in  pre season games full of 2nd and 3rd stringers lol

 

if a guy lands on the PS chances are he aint that talented as you think he is.

 

smh at the outrage of losing a PS player

Haha. Well I guess Asa is just as exciting as Jacoby. They both have you on the edge of your seat. 

 

Question: Why is John Harbaugh above (constructive) criticism on this board? The love affair is embarrassing.

[RRRRRavens]

As for this "is it an advantage for the Broncos that Kubiak wass our OC last season" topic... Kubiak was the HC in Housto for long years before he came to Baltimore - and look how much of an advantage it proved to be when we faced the Texans last season...

 

Also, this logic should also work backwards: if it's an advantage for Kubiak that he worked for us, it should also ba an advantage for us that we know how Kubiak thinks...

 

In reality, it's the players who are gonna decide the outcome...

I suspect you're right.  From Denver's perspective it's not Kubiak's offense they are going to try to defeat next Sunday, it's Trestman's.  And from the Raven's perspective we are not attacking Kubiak's offense but rather the Bronco's OC's offense which may differ significantly from what Kubiak would do if he were their OC and not their head coach.

[RRRRRavens]

Well, lets face it... if Jacoby was playing a key role in our offense, we were doomed to begin with.

Have to disagree with you here, Jacket.  Remember this was the Jacoby that merely months earlier in our Super Bowl win caught the pass at the end of the first half for a TD (juking two defenders our of their socks) and then opened the second half with a kickoff runback TD.  Without those twin performances from him we don't win what turned out to be a very close Super Bowl.  Of course a month earlier than that he catches the last second miracle TD pass from Joe that keeps us alive to even be in the Super Bowl in the first place.

[RRRRRavens]

Wellll.... IDK what this says about the NYGIANTS or about ASA... the Giants are badly in need for DB's and hence why they picked up Asa... but he couldn't / didn't last a week with them? didn't even practice? A team who badly needs DB's and sees that as one of their biggest weaknesses thinks that he is not good enough to even give a chance to... I think it becomes more clear why we cut ASA

Maybe . . . .   On the other hand it may tell us more about the Giants organization than Asa.  Sounds like they are a little confused over there if they pick up a guy and then let him go before even looking at him.  If this is the way they run their team then it's no wonder they are ranked so low in the pre-season power rankings.

[RRRRRavens]

TBH, I never understood the importance of the Pro Bowl...

I've always thought it was an attempt to imitate baseball's All-Star game.  But the games are so different it really doesn't make any sense for football.  In football the chances of receiving serious career threatening injuries from being hit by the best in the league are real whereas in baseball it's almost nil.  So players play the Pro Bowl much less intensely.  Sort of a gentlemen's agreement to not really hit too hard.  Actually, pre-season games are more hotly pursued than the Pro Bowl.  Plus it's a little like an insult to hope for some player to be chosen.  That's like saying you hope the player's team will not be in the Super Bowl since Super Bowl contenders are never in the Pro Bowl since they are practicing for the Super Bowl.

[RRRRRavens]

thank you ksk316, that video shows what I was talking about. Jacoby had to wait on the pass, but was so far behind that terrible defense that it worked.

Same thing happened in the Super Bowl at the end of the first half.  That long pass from Joe was so underthrown that Jacoby had to slow up to catch it while the DB's ran right by him.  Then, after catching the ball, Jacoby had to turn, juke both of the DB's out of their socks, and scamper into the endzone.  Despite Joe's underthrown pass it will always remain one of my favorite plays to watch.

[RavenzOz]

I love a good pun, and that Justin Forsett pic is awesome :-)
