Keep Joe in the shotgun with a RB by his side to help block at times and can slide out "Juice" can do this and KEEP SLINGING THAT ROCK so Joe and the WRs can build a better relationship and get Triple " S " his Ring! LETS GO!

Joe should be throwing right now under the castle dome to Waller, Aiken, all tight ends, working on routes, and situational play calls, like 3rd and 5, 3rd and 8, 3rd and 15....Joe needs to step up, working harder to develop chemistry with these guys.....

Trestman needs to know what these new guys did well in college....what routes they excelled at, and should also be tracking what 3rd down calls have failed....we need to get busy moving the chains, before we are called on to do so

[reed20fence]

Not sure if we have enough guys right now to warrant even calling it a receiving 'corps.' LOL.

We'll be alright.

[markwpayne2015]

Short passes and ground and pound. We will be alright.

[playlikeawhat]

What? Joe needs help at receiver? Nonsense. It's clearly Joe's fault. I don't care how many facts are in this article. Pssh. Facts. The nerve of this rational writer. Why doesn't he spew that superstitious elite QB nonsense like the rest of sports media?

Thankfully crockett gillmore is coming back, him and maxx williams, along with rotating nick boyle in and out we got some good Tight ends, also Kamar aiken is coming on pretty strong, he really helped last week. Give Waller more reps and see if we can rotate marlon brown in and out the slot. This offense despite the grizzly injuries is salvageable, Maintain our balance with forsett and the tight ends in the passing game. We can make an offense out of these players, hopefully if we make the playoffs, we can be 100% healthy and make a run. Im down for that what about you guys?

I feel so bad for Joe, he probably prays every night Ozzie gives him a elite WR, not on the tail end if their career.

The CBA prohibits "extra" practice at the facility. They'd have to find a high school field or something.

I like Waller! Hoping for big things from him. Gotta high ceiling. That size and speed we can use. Only been playing WR for a couple years. Coach him up and let's see what he can do. Wait till next year after getting stronger in the program!

Browns are supposedly weak vs the run. Hopefully we can take advantage of that, since I wouldn't want to have to rely on our receiving corps.

exactly. Need to get tali and buck Rollin.

[Raven_Lunatic]

Garrett's right, all these recievers stepped up and made plays when it mattered. Waller's first catch, I was the only one who stood up and said "Nice first catch!" Nobody else in my group even knew what I was talking about! smh

Some of Aiken's recent grabs have been reminiscent of what we used to call "The Anquan Boldin Show!" (That's when defenders would double Torrey, freeing up some room for Q's body grabs!) Ah good times...but exciting times are ahead as well.

[GO_Ravens]

Givens will do well with us just watch

[thecommish]

Would like to see more Waller... especially in the redzone or short yardage... Givens will help and we can attack in the short zone. TE's and Givens, even Marlon but not much to stretch the field right now and this may make it much more difficult on us to run the ball.... allowing defenses to play tighter vs us!

[FloridalovesRavens]

Browns give us a fit every game we play them. We will do what we have to do to win. The no name receivers may just do the job. We will all see on next Sunday. Good luck guys.

Gotcha....well whatever it takes to get better quicker, doesnt happen sitting on the sofa

[Purple nd Black]

One thing that stands out on this offense right now is SIZE. Maxx, Nick and Crockett are Huge. Throw in Waller and Marlon and we have the biggest pass catchers in the game. Excited to see how the guys step up. Love the addition of Givens who I'm sure is ready to prove just how good he really is.

[MichaelJ34]

I wouldnt mind seeing a big body speedster get more looks Waller youre up!!! and Lets get Crockett back healthy we need him.

[purpledown]

The media gives the Ravens zero credit for winning Thursday nights game. I'm tired of hearing about Perriman, put him on IR and move on.

[stuckonaboat13]

One positive out of all this drama and nonsense... we get to see what Waller can do. You just never know when things could just suddenly "click" for the kid. With his skill set and size he has the POTENTIAL , key word being potential, to be something special in Baltimore

[bigcatfrank1]

Givens may be a gift, how many times have we seen players go through a few years to develop. This kid got pushed to the side because of QB problems, Tavon Austin and play calling. The Rams didnt utilize him, maybe the new environment here can light a spark. Joe is exactly the kind of QB who can keep calm and allow these young guys to work to their potential. Steve Sr. needs to get healthy and then the Ravens really cut loose with the young guys ready to back him up! Go Ravens...silver lining is there to be found.

[Crusader]

Man Joe is constantly be hind the eight ball here in Baltimore. His oline is getting him sacked again, Ozzie let's go two of his top receivers and gets him a two broke horses and now their having run blocking. Is Joe elite? I don't think they want him to be.

[Crusader]

AMEN to that. If and when he lines up in  a game then we'll talk about him. Now he is a first round NO SHOW.

[Crusader]

I say run the ball and give these WR we have now at least one game without SSS a chance before aNY more trades or deals.
