RaidersAreOne Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Thought this was pretty funny. He's since deleted it but posted this. What are your thoughts on 1) DeCosta somewhat calling out his team and 2) Bateman blatantly attacking his own GM? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wackywabbit Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 (edited) Ravens are overrated because they allow their players to get injured Honestly it was a bit of careless phrasing by Decosta, though true Edited March 2, 2023 by wackywabbit 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFlaccoSeagulls Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Bateman is clearly the exception to the rule when it comes to us drafting WR's lately, and even he's been a disappointment because he's been injured (thanks to our worlds-worst strength coaches) his entire career here. Still, what EDC said isn't wrong. We suck at drafting WR's and if we knew why we wouldn't be drafting bad WR's. Bateman is also right that it's not on the players, or Lamar, it's on EDC and also the coaches for not using the WR's they have to their best strength. It's also on the strength coaches and training staff who are responsible for keeping our guys healthy and they can't, every year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWil23 Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 I'm disappointed the most that he took down the tweet and posted some corny make up tweet instead. Go all in Bateman. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DontTazeMeBro Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 DeCosta was right. Bateman was right to take offense to it. I’d think less of Bateman if he was cool with it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right or wrong, Bateman is probably gonna get traded to someone for a late first rounder or so in value smdh Ravens trade-Leshauning everyone smdh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
43M Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 DeCosta isnt wrong, but its pretty stupid to throw players under the bus like that, especially since at least a couple of them will still be on the team next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroncoSojia Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 After being the example of a model franchise for so long, it's nice to see Baltimore with a little bit of dysfunction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, yeah, but DeCosta could also see to it that they're not and it would probably be better for him given that they do actually kinda suck..... Right now they're mostly only there BECAUSE they haven't drafted well. That's not exactly a persuasive position. They can suck it up and get better or kick rocks. Ravens don't have a whole lot of holes right now. If I were DeCosta, I'd double down, nut up, and take a WR with every single pick just to send a message.

BroncoBruin Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 The Ravens, Steelers and Packers have the same dynamic where they are all highly competent organizations and extremely set in their ways, sometimes to a fault. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also on the strength coaches and training staff who are responsible for keeping our guys healthy and they can't, every year. Hollywood, Duvernay, and Bateman are all good NFL receivers. I don't know how many All-Pro WR's you're going to produce when you're regularly in the bottom 3/4 in terms of passing offense and only average like 3,100 passing yards per year since Lamar took over. The one critical mistake he did make though was drafting Hollywood Brown over Deebo Samuel, AJ Brown, and DK Metcalf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
