My observations from the Baltimore beat down

Thank You. I get a sadistic glee out of messing with fans on YouTube, but I just read ,and laugh on their messages boards.

 

It’s like the coach should address this but….

 

If we are in the hurry up offense we need to stop the multiple motions that cost us 10 seconds pre-snap

 

#2 is hilarious, but maybe I'm wearing rose color glasses or maybe they're not all as terrible as I thought.

 

OBG has me perplexed. He maybe hurt? Some games he shows up some games he doesn't?

 

i just hate for them to draft a corner or strong safety. free agency seems to work out better for this team in that department.

 

Can you imagine adding a talent like Hot Rod to this team. I know a generational talent but man I miss that guy!!

 

or troy.

 

I know just was thinking a lockdown corner we haven't had since he was here.

 

Nice picture of Franco in your avatar

Who is the old guy with him

 

While Edmunds has played well against Andrews, in Edmunds defense, Mark Andrews is easily a Top 3 TE in all of football. Even players like Derwin James, Jordan Poyer, Justin Simmons and even Minkah himself have some trouble with him.

 

Agreed; doubly so with Leal. Will be interesting to see how he develops as I still have zero clue as to what his actual question is. He was reported to be up to 305lbs way back during Training Camp. God knows what he is now.


Regarding Mark Robinson, I would definitely think about him being at least in contention for the starting lineup. Grabbing Tremaine Edmunds would be nice but Alex Anzalone is not a bad signing either; this year being his career best no less.

 

Corner this upcoming draft though seems simply too good to pass up. I understand the frustration and concern given the teams history but I honestly wouldn't mind it if a Corner is selected in Round 1. God knows @S.T.D would love nothing more than that.


Luckily for him, there are a good number of options this time around.

 

You got that correct

 

Unless they can find another Joe Haden type of CB in free agency, a #1 CB will cost too much in free agency, just because they failed in the past in drafting CBs they still need to address the position.

 

This

 

I don't even remember this one, but man, the Ravens hold like crazy.

 

I saw atleast 6 blatant ones during the game

 

Holding? Ricard should have been charged with sexual assault on that play.

 

Kelee Ringo could vault himself back into the number one CB Slot if he can deal with Quentin Johnston. Ringo did much better than I thought against MH Jr.... though Jr was knocked out sadly. Wish he could have finished as I would have loved to see the finale between the two.

 

He makes big plays, but doesn't he get beat a lot, too? You have probably watched him more than I have, but that's what I've seen and heard/read from others.

 

and he was great at what he did but troy was so versatile you could play him anywhere. corner, LB, safety. he made teams have to change what they were doing. i'd take a guy like that any day over losing half the field. especially with the way we change defenses we play. man or zone. we really need some players that can do both. that is what dick LeBeau wanted but we kept trying to make zone corners into man players at times and it never worked out well for us. that's why we have had so many busts at the position. they are hard to come by but not impossible. that's where this new scouting staff will have to do their work. i still like proven players instead of draft picks. i hope we keep on the free agent trend for this position.

 

gilbert, jackson, dawson, witherspoon, pierre, sutton, wallace, kazee, maulet. we have a lot in the pipeline right now. some are young and have some pedigree. i like the mix we have but need them to stay healthy. i'm looking to see what gilbert and jackson bring to this team next year. i believe they will have a better showing than a draft pick. they will have a couple of years in already. dawson may be another. pierre has not been that bad. maulet has shown well at times. norwood too. kazee is a versatile guy that can do many things. i think a safety could be in play.

i'd like to see this guy as an ILB prospect.

this guy i could get on board with adding at safety.

ILB (need 2 maybe)
DL / NT (need 2 maybe)
S (Edmunds is no solution...)
OL
maybe WR - is Austin the guy for the slot next year?

IF we had a GREAT front 7, the secondary could be OK w current talent. Need to get back to Blitzburgh, sacking machines. A healthy TJ and maturing Highsmith will be fun to watch.

 

i think austin could be, but i like simms as well. i'd keep myles jack. sign spillane. we have robinson that is looking good. the kid i highlighted above and crowder, plus egbule that we picked up, should be more than enough ILB'ers if we fix the front with depth. get rid of marcus allen. i also believe loudermilk will get a bigger role. adams isn't too bad. can carlos davis step it up? sign ogunjobi. leal looks good. wren is on the PS as well. i wouldn't mind a replacement for tyson. it's time.
