More shotgun, and we need more cowbell.

I have no idea what to do about the future of our O-Line. I kinda wish we could just draft a LT and move Oher to guard but our guards are so strong.

Ravens1991 · 11-08-2011, 11:01 AM

I agree, Oher is a fine RT but I honestly think he could be a top 3 G in football. We will probably keep him at RT I assume.

Ravens1991 · 11-08-2011, 12:43 PM

Joe Flaccos stats against the Texans and Steelers (#1 and #2 pass D in NFL)

65/109
59%
829 yards
7.6 YPA
4 TDs
1 INT

Not bad at all. We dont need him to put up a lot of TDs with our D and Rice, if he can avoid turnovers and still move the ball in the air we are set.

Thats a pretty big assumption.

Ravens1991 · 11-08-2011, 02:31 PM

I think he would if we had a scheme that can use his quickness. He is fast as **** for a lineman.

Move him to LG if/when Grubbs leaves, that's my preference.

Ravens1991 · 11-08-2011, 02:38 PM

IDK if Grubbs will leave though I love Grubbs. We could do Yanda RT, Oher RG. Just brainstorming here I expect us to resign Grubbs and keep Oher at RT.

A Perfect Score · 11-08-2011, 02:39 PM

The correct solution was to keep Gaither at LT and keep Oher at RT, like any sensible person would have.

Ravens1991 · 11-08-2011, 02:41 PM

No the BLINDSIDE movie APS you have to give the fairy tale ending a try even if it means pissing away an elite oline with 4 starters 27 and under.

BTW maybe they knew something about Gaither that we didnt. He is just a back up at KC, who knows what his deal is.

thegreatone · 11-08-2011, 06:51 PM

I don't know why you guys are on Gaithers you know what.

Back injuries are serious for o-lineman, and its not like hes tearing it up somewhere else. Matter of fact, hes not even starting.

I agree that Oher isn't a LT in the NFL, but I don't get when guys act like we dropped the ball on Gaither.

It is a shame though, because the guy was an elite LT before the injury.

Ravens1991 · 11-08-2011, 06:57 PM

yea but it isnt like he is backing up a bum at KC. And Bryant McKinney isnt dominating at LT now either. But we will never know the whole deal with Gaither.

I agree. If Gaither was as good as everyone says and his being in Harbaugh's doghouse was a bad move by the coach, then he would have a) commanded a bigger contract - he's on a cheap 1 year deal and b) would be starting. Branden Albert has been struggling. I think it was a good move getting rid of him and all the distractions surrounding him.

Evans is practicing today. If Smith continues to develop, Boldin stays at this level and Lee Evans gets healthy watch out. Not even mentioning our TEs and Ray Rice. Not even Cameron could mess that up.

SHHHHHHHHOOOSHHH!!!! Don't jinx us, Cameron is always up to the challenge...

Ravens1991 · 11-09-2011, 04:07 PM

Imagine Evans and Smith going deep with BOldin in the slot. Boldin has been raping in the slot and 2 legit deep threats. OMG possibilities are endless.

thegreatone · 11-09-2011, 04:22 PM

Evans coming back would be huge for us.

But, only if Cam consistently uses the 3 WR set, which I don't think he'll do.

BmoreBlackByrdz · 11-09-2011, 06:10 PM

Now that I think of it, our offense is pretty damn "versatile" (if you can call it that)

We've got Boldin playing at a good level(hopefully he stays in the slot), Smith is developing as a dangerous deep threat, getting Evans back will be huge - he can also stretch the field as well as work the sidelines similar to Mason.

We've got developing young guys in LaQuan Williams, David Reed, Dennis Pitta and Ed Dickson. Not to mention Tandon Doss who hasn't even seen the field yet.

And come late November/ December football, we've got Vonta Leach and the running game that will be ideal in cold/windy weather games.. Hopefully they utilize Jah Reid and Andre Gurode and bring back the unbalanced package. Also seeing a bit of Anthony Allen would be nice but I doubt that. :(

tons of depth everywhere and the ability to play different styles of offense. I'd say quarterbacking and coaching are the two inconsistencies we have.

niel89 · 11-09-2011, 06:34 PM

I'm very excited to get Evans back. Smith has done a great job being that deep threat but I think Evans will be even better. Both of them on the field really will offer some threats that the defense has to account for.

Ravens1991 · 11-10-2011, 05:10 PM

I bet that sound guy feels like a jackass now.

Seriously though that **** is low class, that along with them celebrating Willis McGahee laying there motionless and not letting the coaches get onto the field during the AFCG. I cant stand that team.

BmoreBlackByrdz · 11-11-2011, 08:37 AM

man, looking at our schedule we can honestly win the rest of the games.. we have Cincy twice, Cleveland twice, San Deigo, Seattle, San Fran, and Indy and they are all winnable games.

Only reason I doubt us doing so is because of our questionable play at times during the season (vs. Jacksonville & Tennessee) but if we can play at the level we are capable of playing, consistently, then I see us finishing the season 14-2 with a bye going into the playoffs.

Finally getting homefield advantage in the playoffs would be HUGE for us, most of our inconsistencies have been on the road (and our two losses), when we play at home we are unstopable. The closest thing to not locking it up at home was that aberration against the Cards.

niel89 · 11-11-2011, 02:08 PM

The games that I see that will be trouble are one of the Cincy games, SF, & SD. The Bengals aren't a bad team and they play us well. SF is just playing good football and if SD gets their team together the will be a challenging game.

We really need to take care of business though because the Steelers schedule is just as easy as ours.

Ravens1991 · 11-12-2011, 07:59 AM

Cincy VS. Steelers sunday who should we root for? Personally Im rooting for CIN because that will give the steelers 4 losses. Judging our schedule we are a 12-4 team at worst so that will give us the upperhand on PITT. ALso worst case scenario is I would rather go to CIN for a playoff game then have PITT come here.
