Damn... Good thing they still have an abundance of TEs. Gillmore, Watson & Williams.

Maybe they were trying to phase him out this yr, but we'd never know that by his amount of targets LY.

W...OAK

I'm sorry, but the Raiders don't impress me. I thought they were overrated last year. Most of their wins came from shootouts. I laugh when I see their defense.

I hear ya, and I'm not overly impressed either...12 wins will be hard to repeat. I wouldn't laugh at them, they have some good players on that side of the ball, but I agree the DEF is still a work in progress. That said, OAK has the best OFC in the DIV...their out of DIV road rd schedule does not look brutal 10 wins is feasible and that might be enough to at least be in a tie breaker situation.

I can't wait for the season to start! Then I'll be able to use my 2017 Cleveland Clowns avatar.

Hate aside, I hate them too much to feel bad for them.

Just sayin.

Going through our trash is typical for a "rat bird" haha.

The Tavon Young injury definitely hurts them..... Guess they are trying for some depth. I think they still have lots of question marks on that roster. Obviously if Flacco played like he is paid they would be fine, but I don't think anyone is holding their breath.

It certainly does. Young was an up-and-comer with great potential. But the addition of Brandon Carr (FA) & Marlon Humphrey (Draft) this offseason will help. They are still in pretty good shape at the CB position. This just forces Humphrey to learn faster.

Hunphrey and Carr will be stocking shelves at Walmart after Ben's done with them.

Maclin signing with the Ravens wouldn't be a surprise. He'll fit like a glove there.

Just pure hate throwing through those veins... I love it

No doubt. They could use a vet for insurance right now with Perriman having shown little to nothing yet to earn that WR2 spot. Hell, even Wallace isn't a sure-fire WR1.

I hate to see players go down for any team, but it matters little with the Ravens. You could give them HS players and for two weeks of the season they will circle the wagons...they have been primed for a sweep, but Tomlin/Haley have yet to figure out you can't just run the same plays from the same formations against this team.

They seem to feel Perriman is ready to take that next step (I say that because they passed on a WR in every rd of this recent draft)

Jeremy Maclin leaves Baltimore Ravens without deal

Sounds like the door is still open in BAL.

 

[Ickey Shuffle]

Eric Decker is linked with Baltimore now too.

Yea it seems like they are only interested in vet experience for the right price. Both Maclin & Decker may be asking for too much. But its a smart move by Ozzie. Neither Wallace or Perriman have the demeanor to be a leader. Wallace can be a poison if they trusted him for that role.
