Who is our team next year

[Deflated Football]

restructure joes contract, use that money to snatch a WR

We still won't have the money to sign an Alshon Jeffery or take on Calvin's contract, but we could definitely snag a cap casualty like Garçon, DeSean, Vincent Jackson, Roddy or Mike Wallace. We don't need a superstar WR, we just need a reliable and competent cast like Joe had in 2012.

Not how this front office operates. We don't participate in FA, we sit back while all the big names and top players get new contracts and then we bargain hunt and go after cap casualties. It's annoying at times but that's how the front office does things, I can guarantee you we won't be in the market for a #1 WR on the unrestricted market.

[January J]

Probably should part ways with Eugene Monroe. I guess we could keep him as depth to avoid the 6 mil of dead money. I've got a small idea of what the team may look like next year I just don't feel like typin it up right now.

Gotta love the front office sinking money into questionable investments like Monroe and shipping out Boldin after he plays a huge role in us winning a SB, I'm still salty over that. The front office has squandered so much money we could be spending it's ridiculous.

[FlackAttack]

Even with the restructure, we wont gave enough cash for a game changing wr. We will go back to the bargain bin again, unfortunately. Why do you think the tean is going to beg a 37 year old steve smith coming off an achilles tear to hold off retirement?

 

this post makes absolutely no sense whatsoever

yes, we all know ozzie closes his blinds and naps during the off season. but they will go after a WR,  guarantee it. it was easily one of our biggest and most blatant holes on the team since week 1. no way we completely put all the investment in perriman.

would def be cool with any of those WRs you mentioned.

Agreed! I'd love to have one of them as a Raven.

[PerpetuallyBored74]

I don't get it.

If you guys like Garcon as a starter, then why don't you like Aiken as one?

They're essentially the same type of WR, only Aiken is a little bigger and younger.

 

No, Aiken isn't ideal at #1, but he's fine at #2/3 in a WCO with his size (that he plays up to), sufficient speed, toughness, and decent hands. (and yes, in today's NFL I consider a #3 to be basically a starter.)

 

Maybe Perriman can be our #1, though it would be a shock if he can be that good by next year.

Maybe SSS will come back and still play at that level in 2016. Or maybe we'll draft a true #1 (finally).

 

I'd be fine with Givens and Aiken as our #2/3 with Butler and D. Brown as depth.

That's not a bad WR corp, minus of course that crucial #1.

If we could get a true #1, that WR corp would arguably be the best that Joe's ever had (sadly).

[January J]

I just don't understand the fascination fans have with givens. I'm sorry I just don't see it.

[ALSKAN RAVEN FAN]

Don't be surprised if Aiken is that guy

I think Aiken has come along but I still am not sold on him being a true #1...but hey we both know I am not Harbs or Oz so who knows but Aiken has definitely improved. I also like D. Brown he has hands and strength if given the chance I think he could be a formidable #2 or #3 WR.

[ALSKAN RAVEN FAN]

Why in the hell would anyone want Kendrick back there next year? I'd rather see Elam in that spot over him. Jeremy Butler looks legit as well. West over ZO.

Ya....What you said.

 

Well in my mind I would want Will Hill and Matt Elam to play their true positions which is obviously Strong Safety, I hate seeing Elam being put in at  Corner and his ability to cover the deep ball is terrible is terrible

 

ofcourse Kendrick can be cut but who will be our true Free Safety? Terrance brooks? Harbaugh barely plays the dude and trust me I want to see what brooks can do

I do agree with guys playing their true positions and Elam was horrible when playing corner.

I mean whats vincent jackson gonna be 54 whats roddy gonna be 55? Mike wallace is a deep threat that hasnt amounted to anything after he left pittsburgh i would take givens who wont even make the roster next year over him. All d jax is gunna do is get hurt... The only name i like that you mentioned is garcon... When hes the #1 he can get you a 100 catch season but the kicker is he also has big play ability. I mean everyone loves how we like getting players off casualties but i mean we havent really had too good of history with that. I mean yeah sss was a hit but look at the names that comes to mind b-mack was benched until he played 4 good games in the superbowl run... I dread bringing his name up even to this day but... Lee evans the only game he ever came to show up in had the biggest dropped ball in team history... I mean what are you gonna expect from these older guys like roddy or jackson... Theres gotta be some reason he isnt getting the ball this year.. I mean look at andre johnson this year he isnt the same player.

well to be fair no one knew he would have as many injuries as he has had everyone at the time thought that was a good signing... I don't want to see him cut after this year... If he's traded cool and if we can keep ko cool... I just don't want to see Hurst next year play... Get someone who can at least hold fort for him

I just don't understand the fascination fans have with givens. I'm sorry I just don't see it.

I don't either I got negged the other day for saying something about him not gonna be on the roster next year... He's done his job but I mean there isn't nothing saying he has a spot on the roster next year

I highly doubt he will be resigned and if so it will be for cheap and he will be buried on the depth chart. If we don't move on from Marlon brown I'm gonna do the Peyton girl scream.

your gonna do what?

[January J]

lol I guess you haven't seen that commercial.

[terrynjulia03]

Why retire if he can be paid for sitting ?

 

All the TE's return.

 

BBBBOOOOOMMMMMM !!!!!

 

Owner Steve blows it up.

Because his health is more important? If Im the medical staff Id force him to. If Im Oz I force him to. Etc.... As a fan I dont want him back. I dont want him to play again period. He does and week 3 gets hit, or makes a wrong cut or anything and they have to bring the Ambulance on the field and we get to watch him be rushed off never to walk again? Nope. Respect the man too much for that.

[terrynjulia03]

As I was making this thread I was also scratching my head on Forsett, we have three other young Running back in west, tali and Buck which make nice for 3 headed monster but Forsett is the only one we know that can do it all.

 

As for Camp I really want to give him one more chance, Im a huge fan of him and I really think he can be more than just an injury prone dude, hes been productive on the field

I think Buck will be a better back tbh. Hes getting the snaps now, than another offseason, I think he'll be just fine. Tali is our slugger. West is that shifty guy that I think Trestman will use alot once he also gets some snaps the next few weeks and a offseason.

As for Camp, man yeah hes shown flashes. But when a guys been in the league 3 years and you have enough fingers to count how many QUARTERS hes played, not even games, thats a problem. I would rather not use 1 of the 53 spots for a guy you know 100% wont make a full season. Thats cutting off your nose to spite your face.

[JoeyFlex5]

our team next year will be flacco, crockett, yanda, and brandon williams, and we will field nobody else, and we will scratch and claw our way to .500 with all 8 wins coming in dramatic walk-off fashion.

[rudywasoffsides]

What are the odds that Maxx Williams steps up next year? As a second round pick I got to say I am extremely dissapointed in his play this year and am honestly surprised this board hasn't really complained about him given how much people complained about Perriman. Can somebody please explain to me why this guy has done almost as little as Perriman has for us this year??

He's a rookie, and TEs almost always do nothing in their first season or two.

http://www.nfl.com/stats/categorystats?conference=null&statisticPositionCategory=TIGHT_END&offensiveStatisticCategory=null&defensiveStatisticCategory=null&season=2015&seasonType=REG&experience=0&tabSeq=1&role=OPP

Atm he's third among rookie TEs in receptions and receiving yards. Will Tye's 29 receptions for 326 yards isn't lighting the league on fire either. If you were wondering, Eric Ebron got 25 receptions for 268 yards in his rookie season, and Gronk got 42 receptions for 546 yards. As you can see, Gronk is just a freak among TEs (and iirc was a linchpin of the Patriots revolutionary new offence that year) but even his statline wasn't amazing on its own.

[rmw10]

Not Raheem Mostert or Kaleb Johnson, both of which were young players that got claimed by the Browns.  I'm not saying that either will amount to anything, but it kind of makes me mad that we let of couple of young players go while Marlon Brown is still chilling on the 53 while not practicing.

[PurpleCity5]

I have watched a few vids on our secondary and I honestly have to say, Webb better accept the move at FS or else he will be moved to the chopping block. I understand why he's reluctant, he has worked very hard to get to where he is as a CB, but at the same time he gets burnt, has not played decent overall, is not the play-maker he once was, and it not the difference maker all while hurting the teams cap. I have defended Webb on plenty occasions but after reviewing tape on the secondary, I have not realized how poor Webb has been this year. He just has not been good at all. He's slow, what I mean is that he cannot keep up with those speed killers nowadays. He does not have the length or athleticism to keep up with those #1 options. I do hope that he can accept that move to FS/Slot in order to extend his career. 

[acranfor]

QB - Flacco

RB - Justin, Buck, Enzo

FB - Juice

WR - Perriman, Aiken, Camp, Butler

TE - Crocket, Maxx, Boyle

OL - KO, Urshel, Zuttah, Yanda, Wagner (KC will be a key tryout for KO at LT)

 

DL - Williams, Jernigan, Davis, Urban, Guy

OLB - Suggs, Doom, Smith

ILB - Mosley, Orr, Brown

CB - Davis, Jimmy

FS/Slot - Webb, Brooks

SS - Hill, Elam

 

There is talent. We need coaches to get the best from that talent + winning mentality back + key outside contributors at LB, WR, DB either from draft or FA. The building blocks are still there.

[bmorealldayyy]

We are a good team we just need to cut down on turnovers and force more turnovers on the defensive side

[Dilferian]

they'll be better, like 7 or 8 wins

I'm On my phone so it'd too hard to bold a certain line of texttext.

I may be the only one here, but I don't blame anything on Lee Evans, to me that was a good defensive play. I see this mentioned a lot and I just wanted to finally Chime in. The defense has a job too, and yea he could of held onto it, But the cb made a great play on the ball... I will never blame Lee Evans. But I will blame Cundiff...
