if this were 4-5 years ago i'd see the appeal in wolfe. But he's just not much of a player anymore. even at his best he was above average and nothing more

all i know is that we failed to make our lives easier this offseason

the idea before the draft is to limit the amount of needs required

all we've done as add far too many than we can fill

he was an improvement over wormley.

we basically have no D line aside from campbell and ol mr rip off based on what I do Brandon Williams.

Man, let it go. It's not that big of a deal. I liked the Brockers move because I thought it would make us really strong up front and provide good depth and thought he was better than Wormley, but it's over now. Move on and don't dwell on it. If we get Griffen that's a huge upgrade regardless of Judon.

I am really scared about how scared teams are about him. he is the one who missed a while with mental health yes? When gms avoid players it really scares me, fans always think they know more. Obviously I hope maybe he just wants a lot of money but in a business like the NFL mental health is so crucial. I really don’t know much about his situation but I will go google it.

Reminds me of when everyone was going crazy that A.B was traded for a third... looks like a steal for Shitsburgh now right?

while i agree with you and your right up was impressive, I have to ask you to move that post to off topic. Even if sami is a negative troll, I have to keep it fair. appreciate it in advanced.

This thread really isn't the place for COVID19. I come here to get away from the constant barrage of COVID-19 talk I hear. That said, I thought the UK bungled the threat at first because they talked about letting people out to build up herd immunity and that was quickly identified as stupid? On the subject of the US being as bad or not and people dying and hospitalization, the real problem with COVID19 is the following:

1) The virus is a bit unpredictable
2) The virus spreads quickly
3) There's no antiviral nor is there an immunization for this virus
4) The virus lives a long time
5) The virus isn't as deadly as other diseases...however, it DOES preoccupy healthcare professionals and divert attention from hospital beds and therefore puts a large strain on the healthcare system that is not nearly staffed/stocked for the entire population. This is why NY has such a problem at the moment. The real fallout from COVID-19 isn't the virus' impact and the virus directly killing people but its ability to divert attention from healthcare workers from heart attacks, diabetic complications, gunshot wounds, etc. That's something Sami isn't really mentioning here because that's the larger problem.

Did you just reply to yourself in the third person? I'm confused, lol. Not sure if this is too early and I'm too preoccupied with other things and not reading this right, but I am doing triple-takes here.

I'll keep this short and sweet.
We have a diabetes Pandemic
we have a heart disease Pandemic
We have a cancer Pandemic

Corporations are the reason for that.
The coronavirus at its worst day in it's most prolific demography and country wont touch the numbers of people who die of those 3 things a day

I suggest we do the following to end sickness based deaths of all ages

start an anarcho capitalist permaculture society
end corporation and the manipulation of wealth
live through voluntaryinsm
end statism

that way people will have the healthiest foods, a healthier lifestyle and it will be affordable to all

oh but wait a minute, ya'll want masters to be your rulers

please,...wake up

People will still die of those things. I still try and avoid getting eaten by a shark despite knowing it's not in the top 3. Wake up, this is extra deaths on top of the norm.

Yes, be like people in the roman times when influenza came out. Be bad ass, get it, beat it and get over it.

Human beings and the way the world is structured cannot deal with any pandemic. Some are just made for media frenzy than others. Cancer and diabetes isn't contagious so it's not '' your problem''.

It's a new virus and viruses are designed to lower populations. It's nature, it's nothing personal.
We kill hundreds of millions of animals each day. I don't see any hysteria for the rights of animals?

This is all about reconfiguring the logistics of the economy. As far as DEATH is concerned the coronavirus is nothing of note.

lol...trust me..more sharks die in 1 day because of humans than sharks have killed people probably in history.

Also, no..you're wrong. the numbers of this virus of deaths per day are well below what i've discussed.

If we made the amount of deaths in africa per day a topic ( mosquitos, disease etc) it would make this pale in comparison.

Only team need was to buffer the ability to stop the run to go with the top 2 secondary in football. They succeeded at that. They bought a DLine that says "You Shall Not Run" and if you cannot run on the Ravens and you certainly cannot pass then the defense that was already top 5 is stronger. I am going to reiterate that: the top 5 defense is unquestionably stronger than a year ago.

The offense has a problem in that they need to replace Yanda but that is about it and even then I have given up being sure about what the offensive line needs to do because somehow Matt Skura became good. The rest of the starters on the top offense in football are returning and the best part is all of them are young starters so you can expect they have not hit their prime yet (with the exception of Ingram who might be slightly worse due to age). Stanley and Boyle are in their primes but the rest are early in their rookie deals (which means a problem in a couple years but so be it).

You talk like the Ravens went 8-8 and not 14-2 against a VERY tough schedule. They lost to one thing and addressed that one thing and managed to avoid getting worse at other positions while doing it. They are not the Dolphins or Bengals who need to buy an entire team; they just needed to address the run defense to be complete and they did.

Viruses aren't designed to get rid of populations. Evolutionarily speaking, the best viruses are those that linger in your body and multiply without killing the host. That increases the virus's chances of not dying out.

I just don't like what we've done or HAVENT done rather. If i spoke to eric and asked him

did you accomplish what you wanted to accomplish this FA?
and he said '' Yes''

He'd be lying to me.

YEs! We're fighting viruses and keep many dormant and in quarantine. That's why HIV was a very succesfull virus that could stay in the body for a long long time before the body gave out.

My point is that viruses have a role to PLAY in nature. Death is one of the outcomes of its design, successful or not.

Well sure, but only because the Brockers deal fell through, and that wasn't in his control.

He can't stop Yanda retiring.
He (had) bolstered the run D, which was a concern.
We got a bit more interior pass rush.
A 2nd for Hurst is a good return, although I'm iffy on that move because I like Hurst.
I'm not going to lose sleep over Bynes leaving.
I like Jimmy as coverage.
Who was really available at iOL or WR in free agency?
Did you want to spend money on one of the free agent RBs?

You're entitled to your opinion, obviously, by my god do you like to talk in absolutes!
