Nah. Week 1 was classic choke artistry without injury issues

Let’s see if Steve has the balls then

 

[gtalk12]

Damn....I hope he can come back from this

Bad sign to have Harbs say that he doesn’t want to comment on Beeks career

Sounds like he’s not only out for the year, but done as an NFL player. wow

 

[allblackraven]

Shit. That sounds ominous.

Not be an asshole but what does this do to our cap, is it suspended until he retires?

I had the same thoughts, not sure.

Apparently the new CBA allowed for teams to take out insurance on their players that allows the team to regain cap the following year in situations like this.

Why would a team not take out insurance on mega contracts? I'd have to imagine the Ravens did. I don't know Steve to be one of the cash poor owners, so you'd think he'd have opted for this considering they do not count against the cap.

PPG during the first MVP was 33.2 when he caught everyone by surprise.

2019 33.2
2020 29.3
2021 22.8
2022 20.6

Monken

2023 28.4
2024 30.5

3rd down efficiency has increased the last few years as well. Could be a sign he is checking into the right protections and he seems to have an answer for the blitz most times.

you can literally see and hear him changing protections and changing plays at the line all the time on the broadcast

I like that Tank asked this question, seemingly seeking confirmation that it's a Lamar issue, and then doesn't reply when it is the opposite.

I mean it is what it is

I’m with you, that’s what it sounds like

I'm used to it. I just enjoy calling it out.

Lamar played well against the Bills, Browns, and Lions and he says nothing.

Lamar has a bad game against the Chiefs and his first comments in the post game thread are about Lamar struggling.

He's just a Flacco fanatic that doesn't like that Lamar was the successor.

We'll know better when Nnamdi speaks.

What if we stopped drafting injured prospects?

That would be a breath of fresh air

What is it going to take for us to find a young pass rusher that is really good? The last two seasons our best pass rushers have been Clowney and Van Noy, both of whom are in the 4th quarter of their career. Oweh hasn’t been anything special. It’s clear that having an elite pass rusher is a big deal in the current day NFL, but EDC doesn’t seem to know that.

Things may be shaking out for us to get that guy in the top 15.

How crazy would the offseason be if Zac Taylor and John Harbaugh get fired at the same time lol.
