[News] Eisenberg: 'Issue Or Non-Issue' On Breshad Perriman, Darren Waller And More

[BR News]

Breshad Perriman avoided major knee surgery. Two tight ends suspended. Joe Flacco didn’t take a single snap in the offseason. The Ravens have a new left side on the offensive line.

The left side of the line didn't do so great when Monroe and Osemele were in there  run-wise so Im thinking its a non-issue. I also don't think Urshel will be the starting LG

Perriman hasn't seen any contact and he keeps getting injured. I don't feel good about this chances in this business

[Bob21043]

At this point, I think Perriman is more of an 'issue" - has a similar injury to the one last year, and from what I understand, they are prescribing the same treatment program. How did that work out? - a year lost; so, we may be looking at the same thing this year? Real shame, can always use more viable weapons on offense. We'll just have to wait and see.

Topic: With Eugene Monroe and Kelechi Osemele gone, the Ravens will have a new left side of the offensive line, probably Ronnie Stanley at tackle and John Urschel at guard.

MAJOR ISSUE when the left side of your O-Line only has 10 total starts between them. 

[The Greek]

i sure hope perriman is not a bust

[eze17]

Two of our TE's being suspended will be an issue if Pitta can't come back, and one of the other guys goes down. Don't forget Gillmore is coming off an injury. And while Williams has good potential he's unproven. So I have a wait and see attitude on this one.I'll agree with Eisenberg on all the rest of them.

True. After he gets tackled 40 times and gets up for the next play then I will feel good.

Amen! Speak the truth brother! And let's hope he can do just that!

Was he so fast in college that he never took a hit?

[mearzunkies]

I still think Lewis will be the starting LG, yes 2 Rookies on that side;). If he does not "start" the season he will most likely take it over at some point. IMO

[Flamengo1265]

I hate to think what might happen if Perriman ever gets tackled.

A receiver that can't even walk yet run in a NFL game. Yea, he's a bust.

If getting hurt and missing a season of football makes you a bust, then there are a lot of busts in the NFL, making millions of dollars.

And yet more truth today! Don't count him out yet...

[bluehen]

Let's hope management provides the truth about Perriman's return, not a re-run of last year where we were led on all season. I really do hope he is ready for the start of the season, but the wait-and-see mode described in the article above give me cause for concern.

Left out his name

So you believe this " stem cell injection" is really going to fix his knee to play in the NFL? Next I guess they will try Pixie Dust. Still, never was worth a even 4th round pick.

Yeah, if one of the guys goes down before the season starts it could be an issue, but doesn't that apply to most positions, on every team? And even if Gillmore doesn't start, in theory Watson and Williams should be enough.  Seriously though, how much do teams really use their third tight end?  Yes, having 3 or 4 help, but its not something the team needs. And even if one goes down, Waller will be able to come back on week 5.  If the team is already in trouble by week 5, they have bigger issues than being short tight ends.

[Fastynart]

Really tiresome hearing about Monroe and Perriman. Monroe was terrible. Stanley will be an improvement. How much? Who knows? Osemele will be missed more, but Urschel is good and should get better. Worrying about Perriman, who hasn't even proven he can play in the NFL, is ridiculous. The question is how long do the Ravens keep this guy when he has shown nothing, and can't even get on the field without getting hurt? Elam should be the next to go. He flat out stinks.

God Ravens fans have some faith in your OWN damn team!

While Monroe wasn't an elite LT, he was far from terrible when he played. 

[ellicottraven]

Agree with all your judgment calls. Perriman’s recovery is the major issue and his healing capacity even more so.

[fusuymada]

The precedent that was set last year regarding Perriman and his ability to heal, speaks for itself, so anyone who is on the edge of the chair waiting to see Perriman in a uniform playing in a legitimate game, then lean back, it's going to be awhile. With Wallace and Matthews on board we have the speed thing taken care of so we can wait. Speaking of Wallace, I have never heard him as dedicated as he is now. There is a lot more motivation going from the bottom to the top than just maintaining. Finally, losing KO isn't preferable but Uerschel has been thrown in the fight, initially as a rookie, played two separate positions and balled. A lot can be said for being smart. The saying Brain Over Brawn didn't arise because it's not true. Stanley, sight unseen, over a guy who couldn't or wouldn't get on the field to play is a no-brainer. Thinking this is an issue is having a set of blinders on. Just because these two guys have limited experience, they both have been highly successful at the top levels in college and Urschel in the NFL and gives no reason but to think they will more than excel. Both are calm and cool in the face of danger and their intellect can not be overlooked.

Actually Monroe graded out well in pass blocking but throughout his career routinely scored in the bottom of the league in run blocking.

When Monroe was on the field... Stanley's rookie miscues will outweigh Monroe's age, injuries..and contract... Wallace didn't have a quarterback to suit him....But he was still a better player than Torrey Smith is...Only if Boldin were kept..

No comment on Stanley, just gonna let it play out.  Disagree that Wallace is more than Torrey Smith........maybe in 2010 or 2011 he was.   The Boldin brain fart was the genesis of the decline. Newsome needed to go on that alone. He's just piling on now.

I know what you're saying and I agree. He seems to be one of those people who takes longer to heal than others. I wouldn't want to guess when he might be back healthy. I just hope that he heals much faster than last year and is ready to play soon.

Sooooo Boldin would have prevented Perriman, Suggs, Flacco, Forsett, Monroe, Wagner, Webb, Jimmy Smith, Pitta and Zuttah from getting injured?

Boldin would have personally ensured that Ray Rice didn't get drunk and put his hands on his soon to be wife?

Boldin would have replaced most of the defensive players in the Patriots playoffs game and made up for every single missed tackle or made sure the defense knew how to cover the trick formations?

Boldin would have somehow convinced Ngata, Torrey and McPhee to take more reasonable contracts?

Boldin would have given Ed Reed his youth back, thus not forcing him into retirement?

 

Fact of the matter is, other then 13' when the team as a whole just had a tremendous amount of turn over, the offense hasn't really been a big issue for this team(outside of injuries), it has been a faulty defense that has held the team back. Not sure, in fact I know that Boldin wouldn't have fixed that. Smart move letting him go? Not at all, but to act as if keeping Boldin would have somehow prevented all the "real" reasons why this team has been up and down the last 3 years is crazy to me.
