Meaningless but kind of interesting tidbit: the last time we played the NFC East with this same home/road schedule (at Eagles, etc.) was the last time we won the Super Bowl. Also played NFC East during the 2000 Super Bowl run. I think it would be appropriate to continue the pattern.
I hear these every year

Dobbins and Duvernay could really change our offense if they prove to be playmakers. Dobbins has probably the best breakaway potential out of all our RBs and I think is an overlooked part of his game. On tape he gets big play runs almost every game.
Duvernay on the other hand gives us more of a matchup threat in the slot than snead does. Snead doesn't break as many tackles as Duvernay will, especially on slot corners.

Watching Lamar orchestrate the offense you can see those guys getting their touches. The same touches guys like Hill, Snead, and Robert's got. Dobbins and Duvernay are much more explosive then both

@JoeyFlex5 @rossihunter2 so about that track team you wanted to assemble on offense.......there ya go.

speed stresses defences in a way no other physical asset does or can - it looks like it's baltimore 1, KC 2 and then a big old gap to the rest of the pack in terms of speed on offence

let's see what happens but if eli wolf or bronson rechsteiner make this team you can add their crazy timed speeds to the offence too lol (or maybe just special teams)

Ingravens youtube channel is the most boring, predictable and overrated channel i've ever watched. It's like the boogie mcfarland version of a youtube channel. Pointless repeating. You never come out of a video and think, wow, i never thought of that. More like '' Duh''.

I'm kinda shocked it has a following.

lack of competitive nature due to a youtube channel being nearly impossible to sustain constant content at a consistent rate. he quit his job to do that stuff.
joe nobbo (newbo?) or whatever isn’t that insightful but he’s fine to listen to especially in the off-season if you are bored but it’s way more of a - listen to a recap of news instead of an insight kinda thing.

funny enough we were offered money to promote someone (won’t name drop for legal reasons ?) but I literally laughed at the idea and tragedy of these forums being found by his or her followers Lmao

Same. All caps clickbait titles, then he spends the first 5 minutes talking about team keep it clean and whatever he’s got going on his life, then repeats little phrases 4 or 5 times for the rest of the 10 minutes and you leave wondering what the fuck he even just tried to say

Oh my god I have to know who... I know you won’t tell me lol but can you tell me why it would be funny for their followers to find these forums?

also, can’t stand joe noobo lol. He so clearly just follows the ball, parrots hot takes and just defends the ravens to the death. I’ve heard him say some real inexcusable shit that proves he doesn’t know what he’s talking about, it’s just been so long since I’ve watched a video of his that I can’t remember what he said lol

i think it's just that it was one of the first ones - he was the first and that's where it comes from i think

it's just awful. He repeats whatever we all see on our feed ( twitter etc) then says the most predictable shit. It's so bad it actually puts me off the NFL.
It's a joke of a channel.

Idk if y’all have seen this or not, but these boys are some damn fools lmao. 4 minute video and they were clowning for every last second of it lmao. It’s probably hard to get a word in around these 2 lol
 
It wouldn't surprise me if Duvernay and Proche become our #1 and 2 in the near future, I don't have much faith in Hollywood to stay healthy or for Boykin to breakout.

Wow, that's a hot take. As of rn they are both slot specialists so one of them needs to learn to play outside for that to even be a possibility

it would surprise me - i think you're really underestimating hollywood... duvernay's fast but hollywood's the kind of fast and sudden that makes defenders go funny - he's also much better at the LoS getting off press and using his releases

he also had to play at 157 last year because of the screws in his foot - he's probably gonna be 170-175 this year and as he has said himself - last year the aim was to catch the ball and get down - next year it'll be catch the ball and take it to the house much like it was at oklahoma for him

duvernay's more physical and has some similar tools but there's a reason duvernay is a 3rd rounder and hollywood was taken in round 1 despite being injured and having screws in his foot

Shit take on Hollywood.
