Interesting thought when my friend and I were discussing how amped up the game tomorrow is going to be.

If you think about it, the whole Smitty matchup deal should be an advantage for the Panthers. Why?

Smitty is really the only Raven that this whole "Smith-Panthers rematch" matters too. On the other hand, we know there are lots of Panthers players fired up about playing against Smith. TD, Luke, Cam, you know they all want to stick it to Smitty.

(Edited b/c apparently people here can't take me using a little bit of slang as a joke)

The Ravens don't need any extra motivation, once the ball is kicked its just football. We struggled against the Steelers' smaller quicker wrs. Anybody who has watched the Ravens this year will tell you that 89 looks a lot quicker and a lot faster than he did last year. It's going to be an interesting matchup. I can almost garuntee their first play will be a quick bubble screen to 89.

can we just give up on this concept that we're going to make smith start throwing haymakers and he's going to get ejected

he's a lot of things but he isn't stupid

Well he is a hot head and he does let that impact his play at times.

But unless Dave Gettlemen is out there he won't be throwing blows.

First of all, these guys are professional athletes and Steve Smith bears no ill will against any of his former players.

Second, the only DB on the roster who might be able to cover him is Norman.

Third, I guarantee you there will be talking, helmet slapping and I'm sure they'll all be smiling and joking with each other after the game.

Norman is probably the last person you want covering him.

There will be a lot of trash talking.

But I hope Norman doesn't see any work. He sucks and on top of that does dumb poo....89 would rent space in his head

I'm sure there are players here 89 dislikes and I am sure we got dudes that dislike 89. Oppoaite true too

Yea Norman was the guy that was running his mouth about 89 before he even got here. He's going to talk trash to whoever is covering him, needs to be somebody that can keep their composure. Norman ain't that guy.

      You see, this is why I'm more critical of Dave Canales

      By frankw · Posted

      His physical attributes aren't going to change on a new team so I have no idea how he would pan out elsewhere but I can logically assume those issues he has had with processing which was supposed to be his key selling point before the draft would follow him. He was also supposed to be someone who thrives when the play breaks down but he has been inconsistent at best on that and at times horrific. I think where we each take a fork in the road on the determination of Bryce Young currently is you seem to still be treating him as a rookie and not a third year QB still repeating the same mistakes while showing that he has no arm talent to overcome even the slightest bit of adversity. I've said all along his rookie year and his sophomore season that I would be willing to overlook his interceptions if he was pushing the ball downfield consistently and even if he turned the ball over forcing a pass here and there to keep defenses honest I would accept it. But he has nothing. There is no deep passing game here. He threw the ball 55 times in Arizona which was 30 more times than Kyler Murray and only had a little over 100 more passing yards than him. Legitimately you should read that again and ponder it. That is embarrassingly atrocious. Circumstances here are not ideal with the WR's and OL but we cannot normalize this. It is horrendous. And we need to swallow our pride and begin scouting QB's for the 2026 draft. In the meantime this cannot continue on much longer for the sake of the locker room. And the upcoming schedule isn't going to get any better. If there is a silver lining to any of this we are going to find out just who Dave Canales really is throughout the rest of the season. He isn't getting a pass either.

      I don't hate it but.....  eeeh it would take acquiring Kaprizov without giving up svech to make rod try Jarvis at 2C. Svechnikov/Aho/Kaprizov  Ehlers/Jarvis/Stankoven

      Carolina’s interested in Kaprizov

      By PantherChris · Posted

      Given the fact he declined buku bucks over on the HOF hockey board most don't think they will even get svech..... (not even canes fans) The $$$$ tag plus lack of leverage for Minny could end up seeing him dealt for somthing around what we got for Ranttanen....
