If we had a veteran QB and a legitimate #2 we would defiantly be at least 3-1 right now the way our Def is playing.

So yea.. Marc Bulger and Anquain Boldin two Raven players that should be Carolina Panthers that aren't because of JR obviously. How would you respond to coaching a team without a good QB or a vet at WR#2?

fox has mentally checked out on this team....he may as well pull a bobby bowden and not even wear a headset anymore

I am not so sure I buy that just yet, Here is a pic I found...

Never seen him so mad, fist clenched and all. Maybe it's acting, but I really don't think he has checked out...yet.

We haven't had a real playbook since he's been here. Everything is obvious, passing formations and routes suck. I'm not even sure if we have a quick slant play in the playbook, the most effective play in the NFL. Seems we just have the receivers run retarded routes down field which are easy to cover. Running plays and passing plays people can see coming, regardless. We can't run a screen, ever, because it's obvious when one is coming.

Sorry, but Fox ball is tired and pathetic. Like Sean Payton says, it's a pass first league. Run first league and you end up like us: run, run, pass then punt and rely on defense to win you games? Boring and not effective. Even the Ravens have evolved into passing instead of trying to run it every down.

    • Push em to the brink!!! Shut em down Freddie!
    • I tend to look at all of these guys and wonder how committed they are to doing special teams? It's a big deal when you're fighting for roster spots. And we need massive refreshes to all phases of the special teams game. And the idea that four or five of these players could see rotational use outside of special teams would be a win. This team has accumulated quite a bit of dead wood over the last five years and its time to take an axe to some of it. These new fellows have a shot to benefit from that if they can really push. That being said, wow that receivers room is crowded right now. I'm not sure if I was a vet player with more than 2 years experience other than Adam Thielen if I'd be too sure of my future here. Tet is guaranteed a spot, Coker earned his for sure and they aren't done with XL developing yet. That's only two to three spots left for the entire room. It's going to be very competitive and better for Bryce's future, too. Safety and linebacker are the opportunity spots here this season. There's room for the right guy and we may see a starter eventually from one of these UDFAs, either by merit or injury.   
    • Aho and Jarvis just gripping it too tight right now. Relax, play their 200 ft game and the shots will start to find the net. Freddie has been excellent and welcome back Mista Svechnikov. Burns.....well, thank goodness for Slavin.
