You're both right . I agree that we shouldn't trade a 2nd round pick for Ingram. I was joking about the Ravens bad luck with second round picks, that's all. That's 2 sarcasm based mix ups for me in one day. My actual opinion is that Ingram would help the team and I wouldn't mind trading a...

It's not a second round pick. It's a Ravens second round pick which, recently, equals nothing at all. Although, I was actually joking. His salary is quite high so a fifth or sixth is as high as we should go.

Watching the preseason I noticed how most teams seem to have better running back options than us. If we are serious about running the ball we could do with more options. I like West well enough but if he goes down I don't think Allen plays quite fast enough to replace him on early downs. Ingram...

Good. I apologise for attacking your sarcasm. It's sometimes hard to tell the real drivel from the sarcastic.

If this isn't sarcasm then it's the single stupidest post ever made on this forum. Even after his ropey season last year, about 10 teams would have pursued Joe if we'd released him whereas we got Woodrum off the street. But, of course, you're right. What do all the teams in the NFL know about...

Why would any ravens fan want to tank? That's for teams who have nothing - we have a defence and a QB. (If he gets back on form) Our biggest needs are right tackle and centre/guard. You don't need top picks in those positions. I'd rather my team tries to be as good as possible. The only...

I agree with rossi that the NFL is always political. From the anthem to the fly pasts and honouring the military, to the way the Superbowl is presented to the team's wealthy owner, where most other sports give prizes to the athletes. Nothing I mentioned is very controversial but there is an...

There is no response. Equating the two makes no sense. The main reason the Kaepernick story went on so long is that it's the offseason and there were a lot of football journalists with nothing to report on. Now there is more football news, it's dying down.

You don't want a player because he's too good? An unusual stance but fair enough. Does that mean it wouldn't be worth improving the line because Flacco might get injured but we might still miss a top ten pick if our run game improves?

That would only be true if you could guarantee Joe's fitness all season. I'd like an O lineman but the way Mallet's playing, we need a better back up.

His speed on that long reception really surprised me. It was the first play I can remember that showed why we picked him so high.

Doesn't that just mean you have a good back up QB? Which is a better problem to have than Mallett being so terrible that, no matter how badly Flacco might play, no one would call for him to start.

Who's Danny D? Sounds like he says interesting things.

Real humble pie sounds even more delicious. The expression derives from umble pie, which was a pie filled with the chopped or minced parts of a beast's 'pluck' – the heart, liver, lungs or 'lights' and kidneys, especially of deer but often other meats. Umble evolved from numble, (after the...

I get that feeling, too. Even if Woodrum outplays Mallett with starters I don't think he'll take his place. It has never seemed like our coaches pay too much attention to preseason performances, and they're probably right not to. BTW What has happened to Mallett this summer? Whenever he's...

Great article. He was my favourite Raven last year because of where he came from and the energy and effort he played with. And he can write.

While Zuttah isn't a terrible signing, or as terrible a player as some seem to think, I don't understand this move. Weren't we trying to get bigger and stronger on the O line?

While it's nice that we have depth, as reflected in the score, I was worried about what I saw when both sets of starters were playing. Our D Line didn't get any penetration and our O Line struggled to stop Miami penetrating. Howard struggled and Skura didn't look ready. Mallett looked awful...

As far as I can remember, he was in for about 3 plays, was out of position on one and was taken out and not seen again. It seemed like the coaches had made up their mind about him before the game.
