Yeah totally agree. But the numbers were pretty consistent when 20 was roaming the backfield. There’s no one around right now like him or Woodson.

I think Malik Hooker might get there. He’s still not fully healthy from that ACL though

Malik hooker has that same style, I don’t think anyone can do it like ed though, that fucking guy was like rain man back there.

I’ll say Malik hooker is the most natural ballhawk type since ed reed that I’ve seen, havent seen a more natural baiting FS since him.

Except for the fact that when they are talking about luck we are doing it into relation of the Steelers. No team in the NFL is luckier even though their defense is absolutely abysmal. We're on topic. We are arguing the semantics of whether luck exists or not. If you have a complaint feel free to PM me. But seriously, everything is fine.

I think you took his post a little too seriously lol. @Crabcruncher was just making a joke
 
I don't want to sound like an asshole, but this whole luck conversation has sounded largely unintelligent. Firstly, in a discussion, the soundness of the subsequent arguments are based pretty much entirely on how the people arguing interpret and define what they're saying. It is almost never the case that people argue over conclusions, it's that they disagree on the premises that the conclusions are based on. That's exactly what's happened here with the definition of luck. With that being said, let's just use a scientific/statistical approach to be as objective as possible. Every event that ever takes place in the world is dictated by probability distributions. This is true on the level of quantum mechanics all the way to abstract macroscopic concepts like the stock market. I'd argue that few would disagree that luck can be defined as an event happening despite having a low probability of occurring. But low probability things happen plenty of times because of the large number of trials, in our case football plays. Therefore luck exists in football. Now with that being said, it is unlikely that despite Bud Dupree failing his assignment and being in the wrong position, the ball came right into his hands, he was able to catch it and run into the endzone without being tackled. So Bud Dupree was lucky. Bud Dupree was also skilled enough to adjust to his situation and make the play that he did.

Really though, I don't know why you can't. It's been working fine for me, obviously. lol

Are you using the image thing that's next to the smileys or are you uploading them from your computer? Because I can post memes and gifs using the image url, but it won't let me upload my own pictures.

Neither seem to be working. Thanks for trying though.
 
Hayden Hurst is practicing (apparently anecdotally reported as having a "slight limp" in the locker room earlier but he still practiced later so it may well have been a reporter seeing what they wanted to see) and Michael Pierce said he would also be practicing today...

that leaves just CJ who said he's day-to-day - could play but doesnt want to rush it and risk the whole season

.....OUR SEASON IS OVER
 
Per Zrebiec:
Ravens get a few notables back at practice in TE Hayden Hurst, ILB C.J. Mosley, DT Michael Pierce. OLB Matthew Judon, who went out of Broncos' game, also practicing.
