im not even lowkey about it - i really hope flacco starts throwing him the ball for decent chunks

Well me neither but what I meant is that believe it or not he had a good game against Oakland and it's just a shame Flacco doesn't trust him more. On a 2nd & goal he had a step on the CB and plenty of space in front of him to place the ball but Flacco went to his first read (Watson) which ended up in a loss of 2 instead of a TD. That's frustrating.

no worries. i just want to start seeing guys we draft begin to produce and the receivers we have drafted aside from torrey have struggled to contribute. torrey ended up being one dimensional but i sure do miss him because he and flacco had that deep threat connection working. maybe one of these drafts ozzie will finally hit the jackpot with a pro bowl receiver

Not sure Engram is the problem though, just looks like Flacco doesn't trust his receivers if they're not proven vets.

I think it just comes down to who has reliable hands, Mase, Boldin, Pitta, Smith jr, Rice etc this year our only reliable reciever seems to be Watson.

SSS did not have reliable hands. He was a great receiver and all, and but dropped plenty of passes.

Rejoice, there are probably 10 RB I'd take as feature backs in the next draft.

but there are probably 10 defensive players ozzie would like to have instead. hehehe it would be nice to draft a feature back because i hate the rbbc as well. hard for any of our backs to get into a groove that way

Oh I agree. This offense will never be a pleasure to watch until we have a back to carry it and hurt the defense. My point was: Don't panic if we don't get one in the first. Or in the second, or even the third. This RB class is the best I've ever seen, it's ridiculously deep. You can get a feature back on day 3, it's that good.

also believe ozze thinks he can get a franchise back in the third or fourth round. with his run dependant qb the great oz has, yes he has, devalued the running back position along with most rest of the league. is that really where the ravens are? can we roll some dice on the rb position? prolly not, but don't tell oz that.
 
just putting this out there to get everyones opinion. sammy watkins is unhappy with his use in the rams offense. yes he had some injuries but is he worth lets say a 4th if the rams were ok with that offer? does he make our receiving crew better?

You can bring in Randy Moss and still fail with how bad Flacco is throwing the ball at times. Actually, scratch that, Marty will only have him running 5 yard slants

wait for free agency if you really want him - because he's getting to free agency or signing a large contract with the rams anyway

I rather go all in on allen Robinson if we go after a big name WR than Watkins.

oh i dont think we're going for or bothering with watson - was just suggesting it was more likely than a trade for him

Yeah, im at the point where I don't think Any one trade can help this team this season. It's more than just players that bringing this team down. But that's my opinion lol
 
I've honestly never seen a WR drop more passes that have hit there hands then Perriman. I mean I know he had issues with drops but his are bad, and what makes it worse is that a lot of his drops leads to interceptions, that's just an issue.

The guy has a bigger problem then his drops, routes, or mechanics and it's his health. He has only played in literally one pre-season game, been held out of three straight training camps, and missed an entire year in 2015. Perriman just needs to stay on the field in order to get better and unfortunately he never will improve if he never can make it to the start of the regular season without missing multiple weeks of time. I just wish for just one year, just one year, if he can go through an entire off-season without an injury. I just wonder what if he went through three of these past off-seasons without an injury, where would he be right now if that were the case?

I don't know, but it looks like he's headed towards a sad ending here.
