Ravens need to get their act together.

Omg. I don’t want to see the Texans playing anywhere next week.

People complain about our soft zone. The vast majority of the league does it.

This game shouldn’t be close. Look at all of the Texans penalties and they are still tied. They are not unleashing Jackson. Hard to watch for me.

Both his big runs were broken plays resulting in him scrambling. Right now a rookie head coaches staff is out coaching Harbaugh’s staff.

Ravens offensive game plan sucks right now. Don’t like the play calling. Not using LaMar enough.

If Ridley makes it to FA he could be the first player we sign.

One trade that might be worth exploring is we tag Pittman and the Panthers tag Brian Burns and we trade with them and sign Burns to an extension. We might have to sweeten the deal with a player or pick but we finally get our premier ER. Like you said they have to sign Brown. Pick Brown to extend and get Young an excellent receiver. We still have our 1st pick to use to trade for a WR1 or use in the draft.

Another thought I had was that Jim Irsay’s hospitalization/medical condition might be slowing down the signing of Pittman and possibly some of the other player decisions that need to be made. I have no doubt Ballard is handling the daily routine goings on in the organization but Pittman’s situation and maybe a few others might be waiting on Jim’s thoughts and input. Jim likes to tweet things out all the time. He’s proud of his players and I would guess he would probably make a comment if we extended Pittman. We don’t know his condition and Ballard could be just waiting for Jim to return to the office to finalize things. Even if it’s just a courtesy. Just a thought that crossed my mind.

I thought she made a lot of excellent points. I agree he is lucky to be coming back again for another crack at getting a Super Bowl. And as luck would have it it appears he has not only hit on a quarterback last year but also the head coach. So the time for him to be aggressive is now. He’s in the same division with Stroud and Lawrence. That same old same old horse has left the building. I think he knows it’s now his time to be bold and attempt to seriously improve the roster with the resources he has available to him. With the quarterback and LT on cheap contracts it’s now or never for him. So yeah she hit the nail on the head I think.

Why can’t we give his agent permission now to go see what the marketplace looks like? We did that with Taylor. Ballard said he is on great terms with him. So if they are good friends he should be able to do that. I think if he really wanted to leave the Colts then Ballard would accommodate him like he did with Gilmore. I think he wants to stay and play with AR Taylor and Shane. I don’t think he’s looking for top of the market money. If their relationship is what Ballard says it is and I believe him then I think he’s going to get rewarded with a very nice contract like Ballard has done with his other players. I don’t think this is going to drag out at ll.

For me I’m confident we are going to extend Pittman. The five year extension will result in low cap hits for the first three years. So Ballard will be able to trade for a WR with a high cap hit this year and next. Brown has lower cap hits but he will be more expensive to acquire than McLaurin who has higher cap hits this year and next. Washington will have a new coach and rookie quarterback. They might be receptive to dealing McLaurin at this time and using our pick to help rebuild the roster. Not sure if Brown can force himself out of Philadelphia either. Right now I’m thinking McLaurin has the best chance of being acquired. The quicker the Pittman extension happens the better. Then other moves can be worked on. Regardless it’s fun to dream and speculate.

He is similar to MPJ. I agree with you there.

I think Aiyuk and Pittman overlap each other more. Their speed is practically identical. McLaurin is the faster player. I would rather have McLaurin personally. If Hicks is correct that they have inquired about him in the past makes me think they believe he would compliment Pittman nicely.

Yes. I think he’s more explosive than Pittman and I think that’s what they’re looking for.

Possible on Pierce but can Ballard really take the chance? I imagine Reggie and Shane will have a lot of input. Need to make some calls though.

Too many Mc's for my brain to keep track of. lol

The safety on the Giants. Did I have a senior moment on the name? Lol

The question was specific to the 15th Pick. He did not trade back with the first pick. Subsequent rounds he was wheeling and dealing.

I would be shocked if Pittman is not brought back. Ballard has always signed and rewarded his own players who have performed. Many thought JT was gone with his contract dispute but here he is. Ballard said in his press conference they are close. I think he’s coming back. We just don’t know the contract details yet.

I would be thrilled if we could get Terry in a trade and then sign safety Xavier McDaniels in FA. That would add one explosive player to each side of the ball. That would be a dream offseason for me.

Seems to make sense. He just might be the explosive player they are looking for. I think he knows inquiries are be made.

Just a hunch but I think he knows Ballard is looking for a WR1 at Shane’s request.

Another real testament that coaching matters.

Someone had to be the first one. Many more meetings to come.
