Let's talk about the Ravens (2024 Kickoff Edition)

[Bl00dyBizkitz]

We're past the 53 man cut-down, both our rosters are for the most part set in stone. It's time to talk real football.

Ravens lost a few players on defense this offseason, but acquired Henry. LJ has been talking big about how much weight he's lost this offseason to be faster than ever, I suppose. Don't know much about their draft, but the Ravens traditionally draft well so I'll assume the same this year.

We're likely down Hollywood Brown, but no other major injuries.

What say you, CP?

I'm sure the team cares about the human but from a football perspective they're better off without him. Perine is a much better blocker and we can get young Crocodile Mjolnir some experience...

BOOM!!!!

1000%. Spot On!

Yes I do remember


People who have played the game trust their own "football eyes" I never bought that narrative other than he had dangerous legs, but a good defense and savvy defensive coordinator will stop that crap, especially with a quarterback, who can't read a defense or hit the broadside of a barn.

Also will be interesting to see Nate Wiggins vs Xavier Worthy. Speed on speed. Wiggins ran a 4.28 and has looked really good this preseason.

Should be fun

Force Lamar to beat you with his arm because he can't do it.

Even if that were true, either your QB can throw at a certain proficiency and make the necessary reads or he can't. And since Lamar can't, the conversation ****ing ends right there.

I think there’s also a false assumption that Lamar will someday to learn to read defenses and throw like Mahomes.

Obviously he won’t ever accomplish that, but we hear a lot of “if Lamar grows as a passer” talk.

Well, it hasn’t happened and won’t to any meaningful impact.

Mahomes, even when missing games, is a lock for 4,000 passing yards. Lamar still has never throw for 4,000 yards in a season.
