The Lamar, The Defence and The Special Teams

[GodIsGreat]

Cook is not the cook of last season. That's been the point all year.

Yeah but im talking just speed not whos better, also it's easy for any running back to look good with lamar.

This is not worth discussing further. But the major point of why he's not nearly is good is he no longer has the burst nor the ability to break tackles.

He's not cooked, but he's nowhere near the perrenial allstar with top end traits.

What's funny about it? the three rbs the ravens have cook is the fastest

justice hill would dust dalvin cook’s boots 11 times out of 10

Ya’ll think Marlo plays next Sunday?

If we’re talking straight speed, Hill ran a 4.40 40 to Cook’s 4.50. So still straight up wrong lol

Yeah man this was just obvious and weirdly one of the discussion points not open to interpretation lol

I had looked up the 40 times too and then was mad at myself for giving the statement that much time. Refused to post it lol

Could you imagine this team with Keaton, Mark, and Marlon?

JK instead of Dalvin and Bowser?

Game speed and 40 speed are different, oweh and parsons both ran 4.3 who looks faster in game? If you want to compare top speeds cook ran 21 mph last year , hill hasn't even clocked that

Mhm eye test. Very valid indeed.

Justice Hill also just hit his career high of 66 yards in a game. I would imagine if he had gotten as many carries as Dalvin has in his career, he'd had exceeded that multiple times.

 

[allblackraven]

he's getting tagged
they'll find a way to fit him in

tbh i think they get a deal done anyway but they wont let him go this year for sure

If we tag him, we literally can't do anything else in FA according to McFarland.

Football isn't just straight-line speed it's also lateral quickness.
Top speed is tracked and dalvin reached 21mph, hill has yet to do it the fastest this season was keaton at 20mph but pretty sure he was hurt

Perfect example of why I stopped coming into the live game threads years ago. It's where intelligence and perspective goes to die.

Absolutely. Ravens could be winning 100-0 and if the opponent got a field goal, the thread would have several posters devolving to, "This is losing football. This is the start of the end. This is an unserious football team. The defense is so bad."

It really brings out the absolute worst takes.

 

[allblackraven]

He getting tagged my guy. Ain’t letting him walk for a lowly 3rd round comp pick.

I still think we will resign him but there's a real danger of someone overpaying big time.

 

[29BmoreBird22]

really wasn't that bad. We don't have many of the members on the board that were so negative in the thread.

It's still really bad, in my opinion. It may not be tons of posters, but the posters who are doom and gloom are doing it every five seconds. I wanna just mute them for the duration of the game.

There's no danger of that because we won't even let him talk to other teams. He's either signing here long term or he's on the tag.
