and you know what - if it was a delay of game then maybe it's finally us getting the rub of the green after that abysmal ending in jacksonville all those years ago

*TRIGGERED*

But in all seriousness, they screwed us with that lateral call. There wasn't any concrete evidence to overturn it but Bowser STILL has to make that catch. Shit was a gimme.

I never liked the pick. Those 1-year wonder prospects are always risky. Was hoping Cesar Ruiz fell to us and we get Logan Wilson in the 2nd round. Once Saints shockingly picked Ruiz, I get why we picked Queen. But I knew then Logan Wilson would never be ours. Such a bummer.

Watching this makes me mad.

Just awful. And our defenders get to see Lamar's speed and moves all the time.

he clearly forgot he had arms lol - ridiculous technique

What is so disappointing is during preseason and training camp it looked like Queen had turned the corner .

he was just doing his best Justin fields imitation. “Honestly... the game looks slower.”

This. He looked so much more comfortable and confident in preseason. And none of that has transferred over so far. Needs to figure it out.

I think he has somewhat - but this lions game without the DL in front of him forced him into constantly using his weakest attributes (getting off blocks and tackling)

he had a pretty nice first 2 weeks and a horrible 3rd week

I still think you can see he’s a million miles better in coverage than last year

First year here was joes rookie year, cuz I remember him making a massive kick going into the half vs Houston, we carried 2 kickers, stover for fgs and hauschka for kickoffs and long fgs

Yeah, his second year when they let Stover go he missed a few and in came Cundiff. SOB.....lol
 
Marlon Mack might be available and at 25 years old he intrigues me more than Freeman, Murray, and even Bell.

probably the most underrated ravens player i can remember

I personally didn’t really like him as much as many did. He was regarded very highly but his coverage lacked. Not as bad as Queen, but he wasn’t the all pro all everything many made him out to be. But that’s just me

see i saw the majority of ravens fans ragging on him for "coverage" but he was for his whole time as a raven probably in the top 3 zone coverage LBs in the league - and i think people's expectations of what LBs could do against backs like Lev Bell and TEs like Gronk etc. in man coverage was completely unrealistic

so he took his lumps - but he also did all the unseen stuff in coverage that made the DBs around him better and he was the smartest guy on that defence too (which is saying something when you've got guys like Weddle in there) - his ability to redirect and disrupt routes in that 5 yard window was awesome and was especially important given that for much of his time as a raven we had a very depleted DB group

he was an aggressive and sound tackler, he was a good blitzer, he was excellent at baiting QBs in zone coverage and led the ravens in picks at least once and on top of all that he was the green dot and the guy everyone looked to

and he was the guy this current defence was built around and by when Wink took over
 
Even Preston at the Sun is right for once. Without Lamar and Justin, this team would be going nowhere.

I see no other playmakers other than Oweh in the KC game. Where's Humphrey ? Hollywood? Andrews? They have been hit or miss.
