Sad question but a good one for sure.

Joe Flacco invite all the WRs over or out to dinner and BOND! If you go to the store take Marlon with you if you go to the cleaners take Kamar with you if you go wash your whip take Ross with you! Oh yeah I got my old Joe back the 350-400 yd Joe Flacco that use to light it up before the contract! Love "THAT" guy! No diss Lol that's one of the Nine game win streak! LETS GO!

[salamander]

The fact that Aiken said, "We feel like he (SSS) was with us. A little bit of him is in every one of us" shows how much SSS has helped inspire and influence our younger players. I hope SSS reads this and feels just a bit better knowing what he has meant to his teammates. I am proud of those younger players like Aiken, Givens and Ross who stepped up in crunch time.

Wasn't that Givens that did that "Torrey" move of stopping his go route to make and deep catch down the sideline?

1. Stop using Marlon Brown waste of plays and throws

2. Aiken, Ross and givens are explosive together! Very fast.

3. Butler needs a shot! He's proven more than Marlon

4.Roddy white still hasn't been used in ATL so see what's up.

5. I pray Peeriman comes back, but again, please no more Marlon Brown

[bmoraven]

Givens, Ross and Aiken are able to contribute collectively to this team. Givens can stretch and becomes a deep threat, Ross is tough across the middle with good hands, and Kamar seems to be running better routes and has that Gritty ability to make plays. Marlon is a lost cause. Don't waste reps on him. As a group, with some creative Tight End play, this offense can produce. Joe needs to lead, and Coach Trestman needs to earn his paycheck and draw up some balanced games spreading the ball around to these guys in Steve's absence.

[purpledown]

Ravens should find a way to make Smith a permanent (coach etc) part of the organization.

[Tdot.to.Bmore]

i have a gut feeling that Perriman may make his debut after the BYE and Dennis pitta will make his debut soon too. One game at a time boys, and you never know what can happen!

[omar586]

demote MARLON.

 

GIVENS, ROSS, AIKEN should take over now. 

 

BOYLE is impressive than  maxx.

[thecommish]

marlon who?

[thecommish]

Boyle is a beast!

[Orange_Peanut]

Give Flacco a weapon and he will be great. I still have hope that Perriman can become that. #HaveYouSeenPerriman?

[Crusader]

These receivers lost their crutch, Now they have no choice but step up or step out. That is of course Hurst or Monroe play better and protect Joe.

[ravens4life86]

Boyle is a beast. Glad to see 3 deep shots, Givens,Juice,SR..

Glad Givens was more involved, and Aiken was catching almost everything, Ross good too.

Marlon Brown peace out homie,Cut material.

By no means though is this cast acceptable next year even with possible Sr return, and Perriman. You gotta draft another WR or two like Will Fuller ND,Josh Doctson TCU, OSU Big athletic WR

[ravenwildman]

Receivers absolutely stepped up! excellent job! GO RAVENS!

Notice a name that's missing here?

 

Stop. Giving. Marlon. Brown. Snaps.

[Zeus]

marlon who?

The tall guy that runs all over the field each week and drops balls

[Hank Johnson]

Isn't it amazing that wide receivers suddenly learn to catch the football when the "Stork" stops doing the 29 run, 89 catch mambo and throws one of them the ball? That's what sports writers like to call "stepping up". something difficult to do without the ball coming your way.

[Crusader]

The Ravens corners really need to step up. I have more faith in the receivers doing their job than I do on Jimmy and Webb. Jimmy can't tackle and Webb waits until the runner comes to him. These two are not rookies who just started.

[Crusader]

Marlon Brown is listed as dropping three passes this year and none would have been touchdowns like some others have. Check your facts.

[Ravensfolyfe]

Marlon Brown should be #4 on the depth cart of recievers.

[ravenstime]

I totally agree, we need to draft a couple of WR's, early in the draft. We need to give Joe potential while he's in his prime. Unless we can trade for a Vet, then I'd draft 2 in the 1st 4 rounds. I know we also have to give our defensive secondary some attention as well in next years draft. These guys caught most of Joe's passes and Smith was effective as well. We'll miss him for sure, it's going to effect us somewhat, but now Joe will have to hit the open man and not over-look at Smith.

[stampedehero]

Every player we have should wear  89 on his uniform.  Every Reciever should carry 89 into their work ethic. 

 

I was surprised with Jus picking up 39.  He should be a vital element in the up coming games after the bye.

Good thing Urschel and Yanda got snaps at WR, we're probably gonna need them considering we can get together 2 1/2 capable WRs on a good day.

[EliteRavens]

I think we have our starting 3

[jpboechat]

Givens has been targeted a lot in deep passes, that's good for Joe. I hope the bye works out good for us and Flacco can develop routes and chemistry with these guys. Gotta coach Brown back to catching footballs. (and Perriman returning from injury would be cool...)
