Ravens Ring of Honor

i saw someone somewhere else say he looked like he'd already put some bulk on (a bit like lamar last offseason) - i wonder if the rehab on the lisfranc last offseason and then the whole draft process prevented him from getting into his NFL body last year - it wouldn't surprise me

it's hard not to get hyped about just how good hollywood might be this year - he was awesome despite all the things he was fighting against (lack of an offseason, coming off the lisfranc and never being fully healthy or up to full speed, constantly rehabbing to be available for each sunday)

take those things away and add in an offseason of more experience and with the ravens conditioning coaches, more time in the offence, an offseason with lamar, the whole of training camp

like i want to temper my expectations but i cant help myself but get caught up thinking about the possibilities

Don't temper your expectations. That'll be a disservice to the rest of us. Expect away especially with regard to the super stars in the making - LJ, Hollywood and Mandrews.

Seriously would it be really so bad if AB played on a one year prove it deal for the Ravens with no guarantees. The first sign of trouble, we cut his butt with no financial penalty? I cannot even imagine Lamar can be with a motivated and humbled AB and Hollywood with Mandrews and Snead in the slot. It just makes me salivate at the prospect. Yes, I'm getting too old for sports related hard-ons.

yes it would - for a few reasons - it doesnt matter how motivated he is, he's demonstrated over the last 2 years that he will literally tear a locker room apart and make organisations he's a part of look stupid

and more importantly he's not just been in trouble, he's been in trouble with sexual assault and rape allegations which is something this ball club has zero tolerance for post ray rice

and while he may say he's turned a corner he was literally involved in another incident at the end of january

the prospect of AB the football player is definitely a cool thought, but nothing else about it is

I get the tempering of expectations. The more hyped we get about how great everything's going to be, the more soul-crushingly depressing it is if we lose in the playoffs again. And it makes seasons like 2015 a special kind of dick punch.

Not that I fault anyone for expecting the moon, mind.

Well, everyone knows we had to put my Shih Tzu, Kookie down in early February. Well we met a breeder about a month or so ago and we ended up getting a puppy. She is 6 weeks old and will be brought home in two weeks. Her favorite colors are Purple & Black.

Introducing, Diva.

Am I delusional or am I right on to think that Ruggs could drop to like pick 20 and we could move up for him? I don't know how the board feels about him. I just salivate at the idea of having Hollywood and Ruggs and Boykin. Feels like a slightly worse but same ballpark Tyreek Hill, Mecole Hardman, Sami Watkins.

I think ruggs is the least likely to fall that low, teams are going to really covet him, and lamb seems to have a stranglehold on consensus WR1. Jeudy being of smaller stature and having and average combine and lots of slot production as opposed to playing on the boundary, could be in for a fall
