Can I be real for a second...

I always show joe flacco respect, and I don’t tolerate joe slander, but.... bruh fuck joe flacco, he literally refused to do this at any point, meanwhile Lamar and our young guys are flying all over the country in a pandemic to workout

sheesh, tell us how you really feel :lol:

Gonna be so many changes across the league...



NFL Shop better offer trade ins like they do when a player switches teams during free agency. Thankfully I only buy a new jersey evey few years. My last jersey purchased was Lamar's mid way through 2018 season. I don't plan on buying another one until we get back to the Super Bowl.

Let's hope this actually reduces the amount of terrible calls.



not going to impact big calls though - just obvious stuff like game admin stuff and obvious errors with completions etc.

i really thought the sky judge would be a great addition though - a live tv official with similar powers to the on-field officials but with all the benefits of the broadcast and other angles

View attachment 2635 Sammy there?

yeah was just about to post this lol - we've got lamar out there with JK, Andrews, Hollywood and Sammy - that's 1 receiver away from being our full starting line-up lol (at least on passing downs)

duvernay, boykin and proche better be racing each other to get there lol got to get first dibs on that 3rd starting receiver spot - dont wanna be left out lol

not sure what those 3 are doing to not be there getting their reps in. But shows you who wants it more tbh. The fact that Dobbins is there and he’s a RB.. over guys like boykin and duv.. speaks volumes.

How it took so long to reach this point is beyond me. When calls are CLEAR from every camera angle but the refs have little recourse to confirm and then change the call, then what the fuck... that said, nfl refs are the most obnoxiously stubborn dickheads on earth and will probably find a way to make this a bad thing.

Boykin is one foot out the door, after the year he had, with all the miscues between he and Lamar, you’d think he would’ve booked the first flight.

Duvernay not being there is troubling too, like cmon bro you were the most raw receiver drafted in the first 3 rounds last year, you need reps BADLY and even if it’s just getting out there and getting a better feel for lamars delivery, get out there.

Fun fact: 1, 3, and 5 are the only single digit numbers open right now. Even if someone did want 6 from Johnny Townsend, he’d still have to find a number 1-19 per the rules. So it’s gonna be limited and a stiff competition lol

Agree. I bought Lamar's on Black Friday in 2018. That was the last one I purchased and I didn't even know teams allowed trade in of jerseys during free agency.

Obviously none were allowed last year, but still a limit this year. Sucks because we’ve uncovered a few players in minicamps. Lots of guys will never get their shot once again this year.

the small mercy is that at least there will be a rookie minicamp this year, and at least some of them will get a shot - but idk how often we've found anyone from tryouts - udfas sure, but i cant remember any try-outs guys who made the roster

importantly the udfas get a chance to compete this year though

that being said the ravens are lucky this year in the sense that they probably arent looking for as many udfas and tryout guys to fill out the roster

Count in Tom Brady who hates the jersey number restrictions being lifted. I honestly always thought College Football should have used the NFL's jersey number restrictions, not the NFL loosening restrictions. Also does this mean Tom Brady has reached "Old Man yells at Cloud" portion of life?

Jaylen Hill was a minicamp find, as well as a guy named Justin Tucker... although his circumstances were a little different.
