The 2021 Offseason Thread

it's funny watching this - we think of bateman as being a pretty pro-ready route runner as a college player but watching him run these drills vs hollywood and andrews who are pros is so stark - bateman's a great college route runner and yet he looks very unexceptional when compared to hollywood and andrews running these drills

To be completely honest, I felt the same way. Seeing that from you only validated it. Oh well, good thing there aren’t tennis balls and crazy drills on the field when they’re playing live lol

it's not that bateman's not good - it's just clear that hollywood and andrews are exceptional

LETS FUCKIN GOOOOOOOOOOO

Here’s why I think this info suddenly went public: ravens want chandler Jones.

after some time to think on it, I’d prefer th Justin Houston route, it’s not a foregone conclusion that Houston doesn’t continue his old man asskick routine, it’s also not a foregone conclusion that Jones is gonna be any good returning from his injuries.

If the Ravens were going to trade for Jones it would almost certainly be a mid season trade like with Peters and Yannick (which also saves some cap space).

Lamar was far below his 2019 self from the pocket, A LOT of that falls on the OL though as well. Going through reads becomes basically impossible when your OL is giving up pressure all over the place, Orlando at LT was the only bright spot on the OL for the majority of last season.

if the OL improves in pass pro, which it should, then I think Lamar would be much closer to 2019 form even without the additions at WR, after these WR additions though AND the OL additions, I think we’re in for a fun passing game in 2021

For whatever it's worth, out favorite reporter ever, ***, stated that Houston turned down $6.5M from the Steelers before they turned to Ingram. So he may want to be here but gotta get that price down because I don't think we'll come close to that. Thinking $5M max including incentives.

this is incorrect - the science says that there's no definitive proof that getting covid creates long-term antibodies especially when you get beyond 6 months

and while you can still get covid when you are fully vaccinated, you are much better at fighting covid with the vaccine than without (95% of hospitalisations and deaths are from the unvaccinated despite the fact that in many places with ok vaccine rates that's mostly the younger population i.e. supposedly the population more likely to fare better against the virus than the elderly)

the pfizer and moderna vaccine has 95% efficacy and most of the others are above 90% - the mistake has been the creation of this false narrative that they magically stop you getting covid - they dont - but they stop covid from hospitalising you, killing you and putting you on oxygen... they also stop you from shedding as much which stops you from transmitting to others

as we've seen in lamar's case despite having covid 8 months ago he didn't have enough covid antibodies to prevent him getting reinfected with a different variant (something the vaccines - especially pfizer and moderna - are better equipped to deal with because they target the specific spike proteins that allow you to catch the virus in the first place)

it's mostly a case of mass vaccine misinformation led and encouraged by the mongers of conspiracy theories (who notably and hypocritically have mostly got the vaccines themselves)

Yes, most of the people I know that had covid have had the vaccine also.

im gonna not overreact to the highlights and camp reports, but i already thought very highly of huntley, i saw just highlights of his and really liked him and was hype when we drafted him, and his film only reinforced my excitement. hes likely gonna be limited and could look a little something like a jalen hurts, but he might actually find himself getting a hard look as a starter from some coaching staff at some point. i like huntley a lot and im gonna expect him to carve a little niche for himself in this league regardless of what ive heard from camp

He was an udfa. I remember watching some of his highlights as well and thought he'd be a good starter someplace. Never thought we would sign him.
