[News] How Is Breshad Perriman Handling His Injury?

[BigUgly]

This team was only a few players away from having been a playoff contender: A healthy Suggs, a healthy Steve Smith Sr., an effective Webb, a circa 2014 Mosley, and a contract year and healthy Monroe. Oh, I'd also add an offensive coordinator that knows that the Ravens are a run-oriented team (Kubiak), and a defensive coordinator that knows the Ravens need to play with attitude (Lewis, Ryan, Pagano).

"I THINK he wants to be out there"

This has got to be one of the most mysterious situations I have ever seen with a star draft pick.

[Zeus]

" I THINK he wants to be out there", that explains a lot. Bust.

A bunch of coaches have been fired, why is Pees still here?

[JoeyFlex5]

The best evaluation your going to get of Perriman is training camp. For obvious reasons you can't judge him on his play this season assuming he does because the time frame is too short. He would have to play at least 6 games to be fair and judge his quality as a player. According to this article he hasn't been practicing so I wouldn't expect amazing gameplay from him early on. The Ravens in my opinion still need to use their first round draft pick on a wide receiver. A big body wide receiver that can go up and make contested throws in one on one coverage. Joe Flacco throws touch passes and when they are not on the money. He will need the type of receiver that can make the plays Anquain did. I think the Ravens need to buck the trend of getting a veteran receiver this season unless Steve Smith comes back. After him no more because Joe Flacco will never build chemistry with his receiving core the way things are currently being done. Joe Flacco and Marlon Brown have no chemistry because we went out and got a veteran wide receiver. You can't expect things to pick up where they left off after a year of a player on the bench. Marlon Brown's breakout year was last year which the Ravens organization didn't show any faith in his talent. I'm not saying I don't like Steve Smith but you do have Michael Campanaro. True he gets hurt but he does make plays. He should at least be the no. 4 receiver for next year current roster if not no. 3. I look at the Ravens passing offensive struggles coming from one or two things... Either the receiver aren't that good or its the mentality of the qb. I think its honestly the latter because Joe Flacco targets one player way more than the rest of the team. One player shouldn't be targeted more times than the rest of the receiving core combined for a game let alone multiple. If their that bad everyone should be gone.I'm interested to see Joe with two first round draft picks at WR. At that point no excuses either he performs are we draft another QB...

with a pick that will LIKELY be somewhere between 8 and 4, you want us take a WR regardless? even though the top WR in this years draft isnt even a top 10 talent? even when we have other holes on the team and 2 qb's likely going high will push a top 5 talent to us? youre asking for us to take a monumental reach on a need when we have tons of needs just as dire as WR that we wouldnt have to reach for

[ReginaldColeman1]

Besides Cooper no other first round WR from his draft has performed well. Two others are also sidelined. Agholor has been out since week 5 and just returned to practice. White's been on the PUP since 8/30. Parker's receptions - 49 yards. Dorsett at six receptions for 108 yards. Meanwhile he may still be the man Ozzie wanted. Bell is on the IR. Do u throw out the baby with the bath water? No. U hang in and wait. There is no calculation that guarantees success. U just keep trying. And I don't care if they do or don't get the number one pick. They'll fill in their holes and be back stronger than ever. And they actually could still go .500. Harbs keeps the attitude.

How is Perriman handling his injury ? Very quietly, as nobody has access to him. lol

[OzzieBisciotti]

i have seen you post this same concern repeatedly, and i have also seen it rebutted repeatedly, and you have yet to address any of the rebuttals, so here it goes again... 

 

osgood schlatters is a disease that affects adolescents, to put it as simply as possible, the tendons and ligaments in the knees dont grow as fast as the surrounding bones do when hitting the major growth spurts during the teenage years, its fairly common, and the ligaments DO in fact catch up and grow back to regular size, and at that point it is a complete non factor, the disease is essentially gone once the soft tissue in the area grows to adult size. 

 

this has been stated by doctors in the organization and on other sports outlets, and if you would do just a small bit of research you would see for yourself, but obviously you could care less about facts and youre just another troll calling for ozzies head with no real knowledge of whats going on, and literally spamming these boards on every single perriman page with a post that is practically copy and pasted. 

 

also a few tidbits for ya, his father had osgood schlatters as well and played for a decent stretch in the NFL, and his career was 100% unaffected by it, i know a guy who has been installing carpet for over 30 years who had it, he says his pain stopped his junior year in high school and he hasnt felt a thing in his knees since, and id be willing to bet a career carpet installer takes a worse beating on their knees than a football player does. 

 

 

Not a troll- but driving home the point of the obvious- he should've never been drafted- Ozzie is fine drafting lineman, but he has no right to draft WRs- he hasn't picked an elite receiver in his whole life- Perriman was a waste of a pick- now we only have him for 3 years- Ozzie will cut him after his contract is up even if he plays very well bc the man doesn't like to pay receivers- just a fact.  Do your homework. That's why Joe will never be elite because he doesn't have the same tools that Brady has- How is Joe going to build chemistry the way Brady and Gronk have or the way Dalton and AJ Green have if Ozzie is always in rent-a-receiver mode all his life?  Thank you.  

[Crusader]

Nursing it like a baby.

[Crusader]

"osgood schlatters is a disease " enough for me not to pick in the first round but lets say he does get over it then what are the after affects of the " disease"? Read about that folks.

[boldtown]

engram "thinks" ... might want to get in touch with him and finally "know" something.

[Nick04263]

I don't care if he only plays the last couple of games so long as he shows us what we have. Regardless, Ozzie needs to attack the offseason looking for a number 1 WR. Free Agency or the Draft. If he misses and gets a number 2 so be it. Anything will be better than the current situation. If Smith comes back for a year and Perriman becomes a force, so be it. But we can't just stay status quo into next season or we will be having the same conversation all over again.

[budman]

Jacoby Jones was released. Do we pick him up????

[Purplepowers88]

It's the weirdest thing: Just the other day I was wondering how Breshad's Perriman spirits were doing! This guy is becoming a joke.He needs to get on the field and play.

what is the status on dennis pittas return form the pup list

[respecttheRaven]

Longtime New Orleans Saints receiver Joe Morgan is signing with the Baltimore Ravens, according to ESPN's Ed Werder.

what is the status on dennis pittas return form the pup list

 

He's already been activated.....  been practicing for over a week now.

[bozo]

I think pitta is having a mental issue, now hes always going to be worried about the big hit which will affect his ability to play the game at his best. finished he is.

[ellicottraven]

The question should really be - how are we (fans) handling Permian's injury? Not very well it seems.

[mendii]

We need another bruiser, this team has shown it needs a burner and a scrapper and Breshad certainly has the ability to take defenses over the top. The WR group coming into the draft doesn't really [profanity deleted] away, but if this season doesn't turn around we will have our pick of the litter. Treadwell out of Ole Miss is being compared to Anquan Boldin...

[mendii]

No... Pitta is definitely having a hip issue. Non-contact injuries are not going to make you afraid of the big hit. 

[RavensVAfan]

Actually I believe he is within the three week evaluation period where they need to decide to add him to the roster or put him on IR.  If they add him, someone has to go.  Remember Urban is also ready.  Same thing.  If he comes on someone else goes.

[fusuymada]

I think since we didn't trade for a wide receiver and there is nothing of value still out there in free agency that talk about a wide receiver in a draft or free agency after the season is very premature. College receivers get injured, free agents are expensive and you know how Ozzie is. As far as what Perriman can show by the end of the year the one thing he cant show is durability. So do you want to rely on a guy who had four good games at the end of the season but couldn't get on the field the other 12? Are you going to base your wide receiver corps on that? Are you going to draft another person that may or may not be successful? I think the draft bus has already left the station (as far as receivers go) and Ozzie is going to have to pay to play if he wants Joe to have any weapons. Otherwise, Ozzie is waiting on Joe to be something that he just isn't, which is unfair to Joe.

Steve Smith Sr has yet to be put on IR, when Ozzie does that it will free a spot for Pitta or Urban.  I don't think, based on Harbaugh, that Urban is close so it certainly can be used on Pitta.  In my opinion, Pitta will announce his retirement.  Just my opinion, not based on anything but gut feeling.

[Crusader]

This team has lost its mind. Sooner or latter Steve is going to have to stop this madness. If John and Ozzie are not trying to get fired their even doing a lousy job at that.

[RavensVAfan]

Agree with you on Pitta.  I have the same feeling since the SSS spot was taken by Morgan.  If Pitta was giving signs he'd return and the team felt he could do it they wouldn't have signed Morgan.  Now, if in one week Pitta stays, someone has to go. How Pitta exits, however will be complex from salary and cap stand point.

[Tenacious Faulker]

I'm calling BS on the whole Perriman story. Read between the lines: Engram with the "I think he this and that..." speak, Harbaugh with the "slowest healing PCL in history" barb, Dr. Andrews finding nothing else wrong after the scope procedure and the indefinite time table for a return is a major give away.  A strained PCL for a pro athlete is a 6 week affair at worst. Even if it was extended to 2 months, Perriman's injury now has gone well-past that deadline.  No way its just a "slow healing PCL".  That answer by itself holds very water.  Whatever the issue is the Ravens are tight-lipped about it.  Why is that given they are so very open about other injuries like Pitta's for instance?  Likely, I'm thinking more and more its because they fear a PR storm about their first 1st round wide receiver selection in 10 years.

 

I personally don't care what the issue is - I won't stop liking the team for a mistake.  I won't stop liking Perriman if he was not ready for the NFL in some way.  I just want the no-BS, real deal on Perriman.  Otherwise it make fans fear the worst about the kid.

I completely understand what you are saying and love that idea of a QB, but the Ravens are not going to draft a QB in the upcoming draft. Joe Flacco is the best QB in  Baltimore Raven franchise history, he has never missed a game, and he won a Superbowl not too long ago. All that adds up to he is staying. I don't know anything about the WR in this years draft, but yeah we need to get one asap. Just because you have a really high pick doesn't mean don't get what you need when your on the clock. I remember when we were supposed to get Dez Bryant, but the Cowboys traded up and took him right before Baltimore was on the clock. If he was on Baltimore words can't describe how much better the offense would be. Consistency is important and I'm tired of the Ravens FO bringing in a veteran receiver for two to three years and not getting that type of receiver in the draft so he can be on the team his entire career. The only real needs we have personnel wise is at WR, OLB, DE, QB, LT, would love a better FS . Now of everything I just named  when has the Ravens ever had a great WR core. All those other problems Ozzie Newsome  fixed except wideout. It's been like that forever in Baltimore. As for everything else I addressed... You get a DE because Chris Canty is getting old (or move Brandon Wiliams like Haloti Ngata or Carl Davis to the position) , You need OLB pass rusher as insurance for Terrell Suggs (let Courtney Upshaw do the dirty work like always) QB Joe Flacco needs to be replaced but will not be. I honestly want a QB that targets the whole team and not one player for 60 minutes. One that can read defenses, throw the deep ball in stride to speedy receivers, throw the ball correctly depending on the situation (every pass doesn't have to be a touch pass, bullet passes do exist), and be a leader in the locker room so Ray Lewis doesn't have to be just to win a game. I totally agree with you on the QB pick. LT Eugene sucks in real life and on the game so he need to go. I get more sacks than I can count with this guy on my team. lol. FS I would love t see Matt Elam play his original position at FS and not SS. He voiced he didn't want to play that position and was forced to because of injuries at CB. He would have chemistry with Hill if nothing else. Slow FS make me cringe when deep balls are up in the air so I don't really care for Lewis.  I don't disagree with what your saying, but most of those other needs we have as a team are their due to injury. WR is another case entirely, it has never been good. Arguably the most important issue on the team. The defensive secondary shutout Payton Manning so I can't say we have a bad secondary considering if the line doesn't get to the QB the receivers will eventually get open. The pass rush will return with Terrell Suggs and everything on defense will be great we just need insurance at OLB or DE.

ozzie doesnt pay receivers? he offered torrey a nearly identical contract to the one SF gave him, and he STILL left, and he was offered this contract 2 years in a row, which lets be honest, was an extreme overpaying, what was it 35m for 5 years or something he was offered? torrey is worth half of that. 

 

ive done my homework, you obviously havent. also, how does one just assume that a FIRST ROUND pick at WR will only be here for 3 years? for starters, we arent even finished with his rookie season yet, were only halfway through and there is still a solid chance he suits up, so 3 years is an overstatement. ALSO, we have the 5th year option, which is a relatively cheap deal that most rookies tend to take, third, if he is performing, he will get paid, ozzie would never let a first rounder who performs to their draft stock walk out the door unless something ridiculous happens like being outbid for a guy we are already trying to overpay.

 

to make this simple enough for you to understand... calling him a bust is extremely premature and kind of ridiculous, is it frustrating? of course, is he doomed for failure? not at all. and saying that WRs should be off limits for ozzie to draft, but then clamoring for him to get joe a weapon, is extremely contradictory, you want a gronk and aj green type weapon but you tell ozzie to stay the hell away from all WRs because apparently he is clueless, make up ur mind man

[JoeyFlex5]

I completely understand what you are saying and love that idea of a QB, but the Ravens are not going to draft a QB in the upcoming draft...

i cut it short for clutters sake.. 

 

i didnt say for one second that we should draft a qb, i said 2 qb's that could go before our pick, means that 2 highly ranked talents fall to us. for just an example, lets say we are 5th overall, team 1 takes jared goff, team 2 takes ronnie stanley, team 3 takes robert nkemdiche, team 4 takes connor cook, that puts joey bosa(the real #1 player) in our laps for a monumental steal at 5th overall. things like this happen every year, teams desperate to fill holes reach for players at certain positions and we take the true talent that slips past, hell the redskins passed on leonard williams for brandon scherff. we could totally have a scenario like that this year where we get a top 3 talent outside of the top 5 because of a run on qb's and OT's

LOL at Ozzie will cut him after his contract is up.  Ozzie has NEVER cut a player who performed well on their rookie contract.  They willingly leave after they become a free agent and take more money than what the Ravens salary cap can afford.  I think you need to "do your homework".
