i mean i do think we need to try and add some twitch and speed to the team - hollywood's a big hole to fill and duvernay's not that guy and proche's not that guy
need someone other than bateman who's an outside vertical threat

I think we needed new coordinators at both positions after last year but maybe Harbaugh felt that would have been too much change at the same time and proved counterproductive.

At some point we're going to have to roll back the tape and give guys a shot. I would like to replace Hollywood but at this point it's not going to be easy given the cap situation and the fact that we have bigger needs. The run game is coming back so IMO that factors into this.
that's due to @rossihunter2 not spending enough time with the WRs for that very particular reason. We didn't need one........until Hollywood was traded lol
That's what I find interesting about this whole thing. Dude was on track for really good stats before Lamar went out, and then the production fell off because well... Huntley had no deep ball. Curious if this would be happening now had Lamar not gotten hurt, but also sounds like Hollywood's mind was already made up after season 2.

Yeah that's what I'm assuming, he mentioned after year 2 he was really upset with the offense. I honestly think the guy really doesn't like blocking, he was on pace for a fantastic year before Lamar got hurt. Arizona is a good place to play but they're going to want to commit more to the Ravens game and with Hop and Moore there it's not like you're not going to be competing for targets......
supposedly Hollywood wanted a trade at the end of 2020
Make no mistake though... it's about the money. He wants that big check and didn't feel like (a) the Ravens would pay up and (b) that he could put up enough stats to get the big bucks if he did hit the open market.

I respect Hollywood a lot for not pulling an OBJ and going to the media about a trade. Dude was a class act and I wish him nothing but the best in AZ.
i think he's probably the guy who picks up the slot/z slack - but still think we need another starter be they a slot or an outside guy or both - need to add some more vertical speed (and not stiff speed like duvernay lol)
dont worry - im sure ill have another "my guy" WR next year - tbf i still had one this year but we had no shot at him when he got taken at 8

I could have been more clear but that's what I meant by usage
but that was a him problem not a ravens problem - he just wasnt good enough to get the snaps
I mean drafting one early still would not have been wrong as there is no way they were going to pay Hollywood next year and a 3rd WR plays a lot of snaps.
I mean trading someone when they have value is smart. They were not going to get a 1st for Hollywood this time next year but now instead they get their starting C for the next 4-5 years versus a 3rd/4th round comp in 2 years.
