Why does everyone keep saying, "put Osemele at left tackle".  It is a ridiculous idea.  His natural position is at guard.  He does not have the athletic ability to stick with speed rushers off of the left side.  The casual fan may think that its no big deal to switch positions in the middle of the year, but it is very difficult.  The footwork is totally different.  He is currently playing gaurd where he could be a pro bowl player.  To switch him to a position  that he has never played in the nfl is laughable.  Although I doubt that we will be able to keep him next year, it would make it even tougher to keep him if we had to pay him a LT salary.  Can we please put the kibosh on this whole moving to LT thing.   It is possible we could play him at RT but it really doesn't make any sense to move him there either.  SWITCHING POSITIONS ON THE OFFENSIVE LINE IS NOT SO EASY ask Michael Oher.

Brandon Williams is good but Ngata's stats put him way above Brandon. Just look at their first three years in the league. Nice to bring Ngata back and Suggs, Brandon, and Doomerville. Now that would be awesome. Brady would never stop crying.

Past stats have no relevance.  Brandon Williams NOW, is better then Haloti Ngata is NOW.

Monroe is doubtful even when he plays.

There is a misconception on this forum that Monroe is a poor player.  It is not true (everyone likes to whip the whipping boy).  If he plays, (i know thats a big if) he has earned a positive PPF grade.  He is our bests option at LT because Hurst is one of the worst tackles in the league according to PFF. Its hard to believe that when he does play that the "Monroe Haters" are even watching him play.  Who focuses on the left tackle the whole game besides PFF.  I think people are just frustrated that he is not playing, so hating on him has become the popular thing to do.

took the words out my mouth. And considering the difference in pay between the two I'd say we're pretty satisfied with Bwill.

One year does not make a good football player. Just look M Brown who had all those touchdowns and now many on here call to get rid of him. The whole problem with the Ravens is CONSTIENCY. Look at Jimmy Smith, Webb, and Monrow. Are they today worth the money? Heck give Williams the BIG contract for one year performance.

The Patriots are the only road block to the Superbowl in AFC. Where have you been the last 8 years?

You continue to go off on tangents.  First you compared Haloti and Brenndans entire career.  Now you're talking about giving Williams a contract.  The argument is simple and you are trying to make it complicated.  Here it is....  Williams is playing better than Haloti this year.  It is that simple.  We are not comparing careers or talking about contracts.  And I will say it again to make sure you get it.  What i said was THIS year Williams is playing BETTER than Haloti.

If this is directed at me which i believe it is.  I said PAST not pats.  Though to the argument we were debating the PATS stats would also be irrelevant.

Sad, but true, but also very funny.

[757RavensFan]

so around here if someone gets hurt suddenly they don't care. Talk about throwin your team under the bus. Until you've walked in his shoes you need to quit bustin his chops.

Exactly! If he's hurt and can't go, he can't go. Half of the folks complaining about Monroe, are the same people who call out sick because their allergies are bothering them.

Drake is from Toronto, he's not our living mascot. Only the untouched would name something Baltimore drake night. Just leave it at Tucker's celebration. Maybe we should have a nay nay night too.

I guess I'm crazy and I have no football IQ then. Brandon Williams has been playing ten times better than ngata all season. If he's not an anchor I don't know what is.

 

Jan, you have to understand something, its about more than just Brandon Williams. OF course BWilliams is good, but like any big DT, they get tired, and need backups. We mostly go out of the 3-4 defensive package with 2 DT's on the line. And there have been countless times where our defensive line hasn't gotten any penetration this season, so I don't know how you think Williams is "ten times better than Ngata". That's a disturbing comment bro lol

who's rated higher between the 2 this year? I don't even need the damn pff grades- the eye test tells me all I need to know. Our D line is one of our strongpoints this year. Edited December 6, 2015 by January J
