I hear you. I wouldn't mind a top offensive linemen, either; although Castillo is money at developing these guys so we'll see. I think we need to invest in a real legit center, though. I'm sick of seeing Zuttah getting pushed back and I'm not liking how Lewis is getting beat out there, too. I've seen Lewis on the ground a lot this game. I would prefer Garrett, personally. Give me pressure and sacks.

Anyway, I like how this game turned around fast. Lol. I hope people didn't go to the ledge earlier.

 

I really think the 2nd round is a good spot for a center. That's at least where I think we would get one. I really think we can find a good center there. I also wouldn't rule out offensive guard but that's only if we're picking in the mid-late teens.

Silver linings:

On defense, last three possessions, Browns have 60 total yards on 15 plays. As far as run defense, excluding the 85 TD run, Ravens have allowed 42 yards on 13 carries, so a little over 3 yards a carry.

We gotta game....

Amazing how the team rebounded mentally from that shameful performance early on. There's no other way to say it, either. We looked disgraceful on the field in the 1st quarter. We looked absolutely terrible and there wasn't much that looked good except Tavon Young (not sure when his 2 pts were) and Hester's return.

agreed. can possibly land the best center in the entire draft in early 2nd.

haha, Boomer! "We'll find out who's the winning organization and who's the losing organization. I'm telling you right now, Baltimore will come back"

This isn't surprising, seeing as how McCown likes to tear our defense apart, but it's still disappointing to say the least. The North is always tough, but we should be beating up on the Browns. Jimmy Smith worries me and so does our pass rush. Moore should unfortunately be in the dog house after that missed wide open TD catch.

So, next time Ravens start like this... Make the game thread disappear

Boomer just put a lot of pressure on the Ravens. He essentially declared that we'll find out who the winning organization is and he believes Baltimore will come back and win this game.

Yeah, Centers are a bit devalued in the draft. Travis Frederick who was considered the best C in his class was considered a reach at 31. Some people think till this day that Dallas didn't have to pick him there. I think you can get a Pro-Bowl level talent C in the 2nd.

How come I look across the NFL at other offenses and they can move the ball with ease.

True story. Perhaps the game thread was cursed?

How's that putting pressure on us?

I sincerely believe   Trestman should be fired . 

I never thought I would say he is worse than Pees but he really is . 

The sweeps on 3rd down !!??!? 

Hey Trestman this is the NFL where the players are fast .

I think the one player that haunts me the most to miss out on in a draft is Hopkins.

I knew Houston would take him (so I'm betting the Ravens knew), but they didn't trade up and he's an elite receiver now.

Past that, I wanted Desmond Trufant (who I did not see going to the Falcons) and that would have given the Ravens an awesome 1-2 at corner

It's the giraffe's fault

[PurpleCity5]

I don't think Jimmy has been playing as bad as some say. Webb has been bad to be quiet honest. He had a horrible angle on Crowell's TD run and whiffed on the tackle completely.  Orr missed a tackle on Hawkins that would have stopped that TD drive they had to start the game. Wright gave up a TD too and a couple plays. The whole defense just hasn't been good.

I predicted that when we were down 20 - 2. Not worried in the least when we have Flacco and some good WR, with 3 quarters left in the game.

I think something else to consider is maybe the Browns are good? Sometimes the other team is just good. Then again, our offense didn't look hot against BUF, either, so yeah. I think it's a combination of issues. I don't really like Trestman's play calling most of the time. The times he runs the ball are very questionable and then some of the plays he calls to throw the ball are also a bit perplexing. Then  again, our players need to play better for sure. It would be nice if Zuttah was getting blown off the ball and practically starting out 2 yards deep once engaged, lol

Flacco is actually throwing the ball to Pitta only. 120 million dollar man....lol

LOL I know right? < 50 % completion rate so far. Jeez.

Nah. Ethan pocic is a first rounder, therefore wherever we pick in the first round is a good spot for a center(assuming we aren't absolutely horrible and picking top 10)

There's a reason no one has considered that, lol

I understand too but hated the play call.

I'm sorry. I can't remember what he said verbatim. But, if you can rewind to the discussion the crew was having, I'm sure you'll get what I'm saying.

[PurpleCity5]

I wouldn't be surprised if Jensen gets the first team reps soon. Zuttah just cannot get a push and looks lost on a blitz sometimes.
