awesome!@Edgar @RavensMania i was refunded and went to stubhub instead, got tickets in the same exact section but cheaper and with insurance lol
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
Steve Smith is absolutely correct on AB. AB is not someone who WANTS to run block.https://www.si.com/nfl/ravens/news/steve-smith-dishes-on-ravens

There were also reasons why Mark Clayton and Perriman were first rounders while Derrick Mason, Boldin and SSS were not. I'm not predicting success off rounds.
Anyway a lot has to go right for Hollywood to reach his potential, first of all is staying healthy. I still stand by my prediction, Duvernay and Proche 1 and 2.
i just dont see it with either of proche or duvernay - they're nice pickups but as complementary players whereas hollywood brings to the table skills that no other ravens WR does
duvernay has long speed but not the suddenness in his breaks that you'd want, his route tree is very limited and he's (at least early on in his career) going to be limited to the slot and add some manufactured touches to get the ball to him in space - a really nice weapon to have but not someone to focus your offence around
proche has some short-area quickness but not the speed to challenge corners on the outside and has some route-running things to work out
hollywood is a dynamic threat who you can line up anywhere along the LoS and threatens the defence at every single level - he has elite long speed to threaten deep, elite short-area quickness to create space when he cuts and help him beat press with the quickness of his releases, he has a great understanding of how to beat coverage with his route and he demands extra attention even when he's not part of the play
i dont think a lot has to go right for hollywood to reach his potential - you say the first thing is to stay healthy - i say that's basically the only thing
for duvernay and proche to reach that type of ceiling a hell of a lot has to go right that we're not even really projecting right now
i just dont really understand what it is you see in proche and duvernay that suggests to you they might be better WRs than hollywood beyond their ability to stay healthy (which we havent even seen hollywood given the chance given that he's had screws in his foot since before we drafted him because of a lisfranc)
Proche's realistic ceiling for me is Emanuel Sanders

Oddly enough that’s who I found myself likening him toProche's realistic ceiling for me is Emanuel Sanders
Thats fair. I'm not going to do an entire spiel because then its just my prediction vs someone elses prediction and talking in circles.
of course - you're welcome to have that opinion - im just surprised by it lol
do we have new unis?when the hell are the rams gonna reveal the new unis? every team but them revealed them by draft night. they must have had them ready to go until they saw the backlash about the logo and decided they have to drastically alter it

I don't mind Buck tbh.TFG
halfway done now. No Booger, No Fouts, now we need to silence Collinsworth and Buck. Either that or add filters to TV sets to allow for an analyst filter or refer to it as the Buck Filter.
