One of my conspiracy theories for the season is Lamar being pulled from games for a series here or there because the "Neutral" sideline observer thinks he's showing "Concussion Symptoms". Like what happened in the Atlanta game last season. Edited August 1, 2019 by DreamKid 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BareYourTeeth Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Willie Henry cut his dreads? Damn, I was hoping we would have an all dreadlock NASCAR package: Timmy/Willie/McPhee/Judon Things like this are important. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamKid Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Look at this guy from RSR's logic. He doesn't want us to trade draft capital for Yannick Ngakoue, because he wants to use it to draft young talent in the 2020 draft.... Yannick is 24, and has proven himself as one of the top pass rushers in the league. Draft picks are just lottery tickets. You hope they turn into elite players you can pay big money to. We drafted Hayden Hurst in the 1st last year, he'll be turning 26 later this month. I don't think the FO will have any problem with trading for a 24 year old proven top flight pass rusher lol. Yannick has to report to camp soon. Around the time of our joint practices with the Jags next week. Could be a good time to discuss a few things with their FO.

Danand Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 I am interested because Ngakoue is so young. Bringing him in despite the draft capital we have to give up and the new contract, he is still a player which could be good for 8 years. That is great value compared to a lottery ticket plus he will be a day one contributor - no learning curve. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd start with a 3rd, Bowser, and Dixon. End up tossing in a 5th and Canady. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamKid Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Mike Macdonald, our LBs coach, had a presser yesterday. He's generally considered our top young coaching talent, and he gave some great insight into how much of an asset Zach Orr is to the club. Not only is Orr able to quickly put information/instruction in terms our players can readily absorb, but he also functions essentially as an extension of the locker room. A true and rare liaison between players and coaches, who constantly has the pulse of the team. He's been through everything, and understands everything the players experience. And not in a call back "In my day" kind of way either, Orr just turned 27. He's simply another one of the guys on the current roster as far as the players are concerned, and he's an important one. A veteran, a leader, a friend, and a brother. A Raven. Macdonald said Orr could step right in himself and coach the ILBs today if he needed to. Also adding in that the position has essentially 4 coaches, which could help explain the meteoric rise of so many young talents at the position lol. Orr's first life with the club was sadly cut short, but his second life with the Ravens will be something really special. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michele Tafoya was interviewing him (as they were doing with all the HoF inductees during the HoF game) and they showed this article on the screen from the Baltimore Sun from when Ed was drafted. She read out the "Pick without pizazz" headline and Ed knew immediately that it was Mike Preston, and made a dismissive comment that basically said he was always wrong and always negative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
