The 2023 Offseason Thread

[Dom McRaven]

The single most satisfying play and celebration in ravens history imo. We didn’t do shit that year but holy fuck it felt so good after what they did to us, to see that exclamation point at the end, all that disrespect

This game was on my birthday. The combination of us winning and the Steelers allowing Baker to shit all over them later on that night was one of the best birthday gifts ever.

And then the Madden Curse happened the week after......

Imagine if EDC's choice of veteran CB is Eli Apple....

I'd laugh. Russell Westbrook and Patrick Beverley were sworn enemies and eventually they teamed up. Marlon and OBJ.........well........we know the history. I guess anything is possible. Is Apple still a FA?

Apple wasn't terrible for Cincinnati last year, but he wasn't good either. I wouldn't hate him as a back up in addition to Marcus or Ya Sin if it's too expensive to sign both.

VERY nice self-reflection from Mr. DeCosta.

I dnt even fault him as much. we were putting up what like 26+ points first 2-3 seasons with lamar when he had purpleflock members as his wrs.. if he doing that with us, might as well give him as little help as possible and take care of other positions. Now he see that it didnt work, time for a change……. but then again, we had seth roberts as our starter.. thats crazy

Those receivers in 19 were the best he’s had for a full year IMO

The secret that year was the best O line play we've had since SB in 12/13

Do we think that Stephens may be playing a. Lunch of Chuck's old role?

but he's Eli Apple....

I really hope he makes this team

 

[RavensMania]

I think Keaton Mitchell has the best chance of making the team. He's a dynamic runner and we currently only have 3 running backs on the roster, not including Ricard.

Think he and Demus have a real chance. Could really see Mitchell getting stashed 1 year on the PS and being on the 53 next year too

Me too. Injury short circuited his college career but there's a ton of talent and grit there.

And there's no pressure on him for this year. He can continue to recover, play special teams, and also provide a different body type in rare situations or red zone.

Just depends on how well they do on special teams
