I actually think Smitty is gonna kill it this year. Maybe not like 1300+ yards or anything like that during his prime years, but I believe he'll have a better year than he did last year.

He's finally gonna have other threats at WR to take the pressure off of him and he'll be primarily in the slot. He won't be facing the other team's best corners or double covered like he was here with us. I also think the Ravens are transitioning into more of a passing attack this year. He's literally like the perfect slot receiver archetype and would make Wes Welker look like a cheap knock off.

He'd be a solid pick up in FF if you were able to get him later on IMO.

I don't know. SS is in his father days. Can't argue with that. He slowed down a lot last year already. It'll only get worst. Even the great Jerry Rice was able to be slowed down by age.

He'll bring the energy and toughness to a Ravens offense that is in need of it, but not production. Marlon Brown is a better WR for the Ravens than SS today. I'd be really surprise if SS catches 500 yds this season.

I was being a tad bit hyperbolic, but I do think he'll be in the 800-1000 yard range.  I agree he's slowed down a lot, but he's also being moved into a far more favorable spot for his skillset and the competition he'll be going against will be a lot less than what he's accustomed to having been a #1 WR his whole career... a #1 WR without a serviceable #2 for the majority of his career ona run-first team at that.

I was standing right in front of the Brandon Williams and Ed Dickson catches, and I thought Dickson's was much more impressive. He made an aggressive move to snag the ball, whereas Williams let it fall over his shoulder into his body. Even so, a defender made a play on the ball but missed, so it was good concentration to make the catch after it passed through the defender's arm.

 

And I thought for sure I saw Johnson knock Chandler flat on his back in 1-on-1's.

Well, 800 might have you being a tad bit hyperbolic.

Honestly, yeah we did.

Benjamin would've been a top 10 pick if he stayed with Winston

Ealy was a 1st round talent who somehow feel to our 2nd rounder

Then Mayock said Trai Turner would've been a top 15 pick if he would've stayed one more year.

Gentleman might make some questionable later round picks but the man knows what he's doing.

Nice post.  Only thing I would say is that so far the only pick that seems to = Fail is Kugs.  He hit on Klein in the 5th last year and while I am not too optimistic on Barner, it was the 7th.  I know Gaffney got hurt but the other late round guys are still on the roster and might make some noise.  We also cant discount Lester and White coming in as UDFA.  Not sure how much G man has a hand in that but we grabbed two steals in UDFA,.

 

If either or both Boston (on PUP) and Benwikere can make some noise this year G man will have had two very productive drafts.

      New Huddle FAQ

      By Zod · Posted

      Hello there.  We are rolling out a complete overhaul of the Huddle. Why: Frankly this site is so old the database and antiquated software has gotten unmanageable. There is not much we can do to fix anything anymore. The new site is wired for the future including getting back in the app stores.    When:  Hopefully by early July so that we can test and recover things. After the migrations we will still have access to the old site behind the scenes to bring over anything we missed.    Wait, will I lose anything?  We are only bringing over topics and posts from the past calendar year. The tinderbox is being set on fire and rolled off a cliff. All it ever did was made this place feel horrible all while changing approximately 0 minds in 20 years.  The new site will only have 4 forums to keep this joint Carolina team sports focused. Panthers, Hornets, Charlotte FC, Hurricanes.    Improved Moderation  This is a clean slate for us, as such if you are a problematic member (you know who you are) that enjoys getting banned and coming back, we aim to make it much more difficult for you. However, upon the move your slate is clean. Take advantage of it.  We would love to get this place back to what it used to be. Nice folks with friendly banter centered around Carolina sports. We will be using the BAN HAMMER liberally to rid this place of people who aren't interested in that or try to drag the new site back into the gutter.   New Features With new tech comes new features we will be rolling out over the rest of the year.    What about the damn ads?  Fewer and less problematic ads. Again, new tech allows for this. Without ads this place gets shut down.    What if I can't login?  If you can't login due to not being able to reset your password from the login screen, email [email protected] with your username and we will get you squared away.    Let me know if you have any specific questions.
