Ravens could use Taliaferro, but he is hurt as per usual. I don't think he will be here next season.

another garbage pick by the fo. too many lately

They don't really need Talliaferro that bad, Juice can run, thats whats great about having him. Plus we have Keenan Reynolds on the practice squad if we wanted to get real creative. Also Waller and Wallace have both run plays out of the set. Most importantly, Buck hopefully can address his issue and get back to the team, we need him back on track, the guy has the physical skills!

A must win if there ever is one.

Taliaferro can go. We don't have any use for him esp. since he can't stay on the field. Dixon and West is are 1-2 punch and I love it. And Juice can spell them a little if needed. Buck is only needed for special teams so he better be a heck of a special teamer- props to him on that block.
I haven't seen how many of each position we have active for the 53 each week but I'm surprised Z hasn't been active recently. Seems like the more healthy front 7/pass rushers you have each game the better. And it seems like he might be a beast on s.t. but I don't know if he can play them or not. However if we do have enough front 7 active already, I definitely would rather have Judon active. I think Judon, Young, and Dixon are future stars for us.
I know a lot of people will have different opinions and pick at this statement in many ways, but I think we're primed to start charging. With Jimmy and Doom coming back + the way they've played all year, I don't even need to say anything about the D. Wright is the ONLY thing that will keep our D from being #1 from here on out. Even with the schedule.
I understand why a lot of you are hating. But I have a lot of faith in Joe still. He's slowly been getting better each week. And when you think about it, he really can't play any worse than he did at the beggining of the year. The steelers and Cowboys are an exception, but there really aren't that many play off caliber teams that can run the ball well. And I know we haven't done great this year, but with the line settling down, and Dixon getting more involved, we're definitely picking it up. Dixon is going to start turning heads no doubt. All this is really going to help Joe as he's already getting better and better as well. And he's a cold weather qb if there is such thing.
Time to start ramping things up. That begins Sunday. We carry that into January and I guarantee NOBODY will want to play us. Playoffs are a whole different animal and the Ravens are used to and ready for playoff football. I've seen so many fans post on fb or colums before. Patriots fans welcome and want to play the steelers, but they never want to play us. There's a reason for that.
Time to send Sizzle and Smitty out in style

There is no better time to get close to full team health then right now. It's time for this team to define itself and to truly show what it's made of.

Uh. What?   His best game of the year was game 1, and he's been AWFUL ever since.  FBAJ's contribution, in any game, is OVER after the 1st quarter.  Five times this year the Ravens had 10-0 leads in the 1st, and two other 7-0 1st quarter leads.  Of those seven games, the Ravens have reached 20 points ONCE.  23 against the Giants.  As a matter of fact, FBAJ has become Pathetic Joe.  (The 120 Million Dollar Man).

I totally forgot Taliaferro existed lol smh.

I agree. If we can get our guys back on the field, stay healthy, and start clicking in this last stretch of games, then maybe we can take the AFC North. It all starts with beating the Dolphins tomorrow.
