For some reason I can't edit this post but it should say Perriman but my auto correct vetoed my correct spelling.  

Probably a good thing grim. There is a better chance of ravens drafting trading or signing for a Perryman than Perriman playing.lol of course I'm rooting for him to play and play well. Although I have my reservations about his stiff routes I like everything else about him minus  the injuries of course

Anyways,bold predictions. Flacco hitting 4000 yards is not exactly a bold prediction as it is pretty much likely. He was on pace for about 4500 yards. Willie Henry becomes an effective rusher and forms a nice tandem with jernigan. Henry is eventually a pro bowler but probably not as a rookie but will be impressive. Dixon and Allen form a potent tandem running and catching. Forsett loses touches to the young guys. Jensen makes the pro bowl or many analyst's say he deserved to. Wagner rebounds to match his 2014 season. Urschel eventually gets the center position and establishes himself a very good center and qb of the oline. While the oline will dominate as a unit. Maxx will break out with one of 800 yards or 8 tds. He will stand out with one of yards/TDs. Campanaro and Chris Moore will for a very productive tandem. Not sure about Perriman to include him but that would be an awesome young trio!! As for defense the rush will come from interior penetrators Jernigan and ultra skilled draft steal Will Henry. Kufusi has the skill to switch to edge rusher cuz he is not an interior . However he needs to reshape his bod a little b4  any bold predictions to excel at edge rusher.  Losing the excess weight he is carrying will help with back. So while he has the raw skill to be a double digit guy he needs to in edge rusher shape. So no bold predictions yet for kufusi.

 

If we are making honest predictions here. Suggs will not be the impact player of his pro bowl years.  And ravens will be looking for young players to get pressure on opposing qbs. Dumervil will get about 7 sacks but no longer the feared edge rusher he was. And SS will be a tough fiesty player but will not put up the numbers at the pace he was producing just b4 his injury. He is 37 coming off achilles. Will not be a difference maker but through determination he will put up about 55-65 catches  for about 700 yards. But rookies and young players will mature and make an impact. Nearly forgot. Mosley will rebound and have a great year and excel in coverage.

Sweep the Browns and Bengals. 5-1 division record. 

Tucker doesn't miss a FG or XP all season, forcing that extension (if not done before the season).

Flacco passes for 4,500+ yds, without a single WR or TE going for over 1,000. 

Set a team record for sacks in a season. 

Ravens have best red zone offense in the league. 

Defense triples interception total from 2015.

A Raven wins comeback player of the year, and represent the runner up, 3rd and 4th place in voting (Flacco, Suggs, SSS, and Pitta).

Set franchise record for points scored, yards, passing yards, TDs and 1st downs. 

11-5 record.

No one gets hurt. Like anyone. At all

I thought this was supposed to be realistic lol but dam if they don't deserve it.

 

Webb is going to lead the league in interceptions with 11.

Pitta will lead the team in receptions mainly playing out wide.

Wallace will get over 1000 yds mainly cuz of a 25 yd rec avg.

Ronnie Stanley will earn a ProBowl nod in his rookie season.

Arthur Brown will lead the team in tackles.

Yeah. I was mainly joking about the 4000 yards thing because he can do it.  It's more of a joke though how he seems to just come up short for whatever reason lol.  Almost like a curse.

ALL fans on these boards rejoyce and celebrate when the RAVENS win.

Secondary try not to suck so bad as last year. That was embarrassing.

Receivers....well....nevermind

Offensive Line....If you can't block...hold real good. Take lessons from the Cheatriots, their holders do real well.

Pass Rushers...we know you're aging, but seriously if you don't get some pressure on how do you expect our Secondary to not be pitiful like before?

Marc Trestman.......please don't go pass happy now......Its not like this is the Grey Cup man...We know the temptation is great, but come on man..... just stay off the PASSSSSSSSSS

Ozzie Newsome...Your year is primarily over......but be careful with our surplus.........no Free Agents like 2013 ok?

Beat the Bengals at least once........Please

That's it, to accomplish those things would be bold.

Something about the SB in Houston sounded familiar.  Guess who was there the last time it was played there?  Steve Smith...

Plus.... Our two Super Bowl wins came from stadiums in the NFC South(Tampa & New Orleans), so it's time to add the AFC South to the list.

My bold prediction is that 4 Ravens make the pro bowl (after only one this last season) and that the Ravens make it to the playoffs.

Yeah I know lol, but I'm very high on him and ZDS. If they can star healthy they're going to make a name for themselves in this league next year.

[January J]

Flacco throws for just short of 5000 yards.

 

Pitta, Crockett, Maxx and Watson catch a combined 25 + TDs

 

Forsett rushes for 1300 yards, and Buck Allen also puts up 1500 total yards from scrimmage.

 

Our secondary goes from last in the league last year in turnovers to FIRST- led by Jimmy Smith , Jerraud  Powers and Webb combining for 12 interceptions

 

Zadarius Smith leads the team in sacks with 16 

 

We finish the season 13-3

 

Perriman actually makes it on the field.

 

What...you asked for bold.

Who woulc you say has the best chance of the young WRs to step up?? I agree with you on many front office blunders since the championship run.  However do you not see any potential at all in Ron stanley,Jensen and the young receivers. I will say Ron Stanley needs to tack on some muscle. Up to 20lbs he could. He doesn't have the upper bod strength of Tunsil. Ron Stanley has got by on techniques and activity while Tunsil has used very matured upper bod power to dominate. My opinion it is a great thing Stanley has flourished while needing power. While he could struggle til he tacks on some power and gets in shape,if he adds power element to his technique and athleticism he would be a superior left tackle to sheer athleticism and power.

So in your opinion, what does Stanley need to work on? 

[RavensFan34950]

Bold Predictions.

1) Willie Henry and Bronson Kaufusi gets the Brandon Williams treatment and rarely plays in their rookie season, but become beasts in their second season. 

 

2) Lardarius Webb will be a top 5 FS this coming season. Basically he will play like Charles Woodson did last season. Has the I.Q. to do so

 

3) Za'Darius smith will get at least 9 sacks this season. Love what im hearing about him this offseason. Hearing his first step and anticipation of the snap count has been amazing in camp.

 

4) Terrell Suggs will retire after this season to pursue his movie career. Yep i just sense that Football is not the number 1 priority in his life anymore. Question is, will he be a HOFer?

 

5) The Ravens will be a top 5 defense in both yards and scoring. Only position on defense i'm skeptacle about is inside linebacker, but i am highly confident in the rest of the group. I believe Weddle and Webb will make all the difference in the world back there and we are deep as heck on the line.

 

6) Joe Flacco will have a season reminiscent of Tony Romo's 2014 season. Don't know why I feel like this is going to happen. Just a real deep gut feeling that he is going to ball out this year.

You have to much time on your hands. It offend you that Stanley needs to get stronger to dominate in the nfl?? I will be more confident in Stanley when he gets stronger. Make sense to you??

[LosT_in_TranSlatioN]

After successfully making the Ravens roster, I overtake Flacco at the starting QB position much to the joy of the entire fan add despite me being infinently worse. We go 0-16. This leads to the firing of Ozzie Newsome like everyone wants, and I then take over as GM, and since us forum posters are smarter than Ozzie is I draft everyone you guys suggest. 

 

Hows ws that for bold?

 

Fine. Real ones.

 

. Flacco goes beserk.

 

maxx has a 1000 yard ten TD year.

 

Buck Allen has a better season this year than Dixon as a receiver.

 

forsett gets benched mid year.

 

Ronnie Stanley makes the all pro team at LT as a rookie.

 

Despite Maxx leading the team in yards, Pitta returns to former form and we have the best TE duo in the league.

 

We trade for a stating LG mid season.

 

Correa turns out to be an absolute beast at ILB

The receiver I'm highest on is still on the team, but maybe not for much longer.  They forced it into him in jump situations when he wasn't open in far too scripted situations.  They missed him deep. There was no rapport. He went out injured.

The kid for Cincinnati is fast, but then so was the guy I just referenced.

Perriman is an unknown. He's showing an affinity for injury and that is troubling.

I'm hopeful Wallace has something left in the tank, but as sorry as it sounds if Steve Smith returns sound, he's liable to still be our go to guy.

[ravefan52]

Flacco goes over 4200 yards

Kenneth Dixon overtakes Forsett as the starter by week 6

Defense doesn't allow AJ Green to absolutely destroy it

Leslie Frazier becomes DC by next season

Yeah, because his lack of "power" will be the ONLY reason for him struggling.  

While you're at it, make sure you re-post your comments about Campanaro being better than Aiken.

Browns loss?  Come on man. That's the most heinous prediction possible. Some of these are pretty out there but losing to the Browns would be beyond embarrassing 

I have a ton of respect for Hue Jackson and those guys always seem to play us tight. But I looked at the schedule and I changed my mind. Don't see the Ravens losing to those guys Week 2 and I definitely don't see the Ravens dropping a Primetime home game to them.

Yep sure will. Repost this page. If Campanaro actually plays he is better than aiken. Of course Stanley should lean out and max out athleticism to follow rushers and mature his technique. But power is the primary reason tackles are failing. Except Greg Robinson. He is plain clumsy!! Lane Johnson looks very impressive. While Joeckel and Fisher are jokes. All are about equal athletes and have matured techniques and gained experience against nfl edge rushers. But if you watch all those guys play Lane stands out for the way he controls edge rushers while Joeckel fights and looks like he is trading water trying to fight off rushers. It looks easy to lane once he gets his hands on them. All came into the league the same year with similar athleticism but clearly needing to get stronger. Lane has tacked on about 20lbs of muscle or close to it. Joeckel kalil and Fisher look the same. Lane came aboard the eagles with a role model in Peter's who is very strong with his athleticism and showed Lane when he is far stronger than the edge rusher he has a better chance of controlling him. Lane took notice he was as athletic or more athletic than the aging Peter's but Peters was far stronger. Lane looked very impressive against some very good edge rushers and 3-4 defensive ends this year. Ron Stanley is considered a slightly more athletic lane Johnson with lighter movement skills longer arms and a stouter natural base combining out of college. And a more natural feel for the position as lane was considered more raw than Joeckel and fisher. Ron Stanley has the best most natural feel for protecting the edge since Joe Thomas. And he has a mentor to show him around in Urschel who is already showing him around the gym and how maximizing strength and athleticism will make him a better player. Sure Stanley can handle the job but the idea is for him to be the best left tackle in the league. And he has the raw skills to be that. And the resources around him to max out his immense natural skill,athleticism, techniques  and length. I like the ravens are out working the league. And have the players like John Urschel, Campanaro and Ben Watson to show the way. I'm not going to repost anything regardless. But why are you not taking some pride the ravens are out working the league and have some of the hardest working and most knowledgeable players around the league to show everybody how to max out skills,muscle,strength and athleticism. The complete oline is buying into the idea. Urschel is a round5 pick that has worked his way into position and primed to be a top center. Wagner is stronger and leaner and could outperform his 2014!! The best right tackle by leaps and bounds. Ron Stanley has the skill to be the best left tackle in the league. He was compared to Lane but has more natural skill, anchor and instincts on the edge. Jensen who is already very very strong and freakishly athletic for his size is buying into the work ethic Urschel is showing. Rookie Alex Lewis is part of the oline clique and buying into the work ethic and training nutrition standards. He could replace Yanda eventually. The oline is a strength of the ravens with even after ko moving to oakland. Ravens oline has serious potential.

Dude, maybe not this year but in next couple yrs the browns have a lot if assets if management doesn't  screw up those draft picks. Could turn their franchise around and thrust them to contenders
