Ravens Official Thread

it has been "reported" that the Ravens are interest in Brandon Marshall and may make a trade with the Broncos if possible. he would be a very nice addition to the "Dirty Black-Birds" roster.

no surprise! the NFL **** did a segment called; "Best in the Biz" and their focus was on the top 5 LBs in the game today. my boy Ray Lewis was #2 behind Patrick Willis. but....Ray-Ray has been consistent over the past 10 years and has a Superbowl ring!

as of right now willis is a freak of nature.... he doesnt possess ray's veteran knowledge but the athlete he is once he learns the game he will be waaaaaaaaay better than ray in the long run

What? i'm gonna have to revoke your Ravens card bruh! lol

i guess the ravens better hope that their D carries them again this year, since they have no O

the eagles better hope that something carries them this year cause desean isnt the answer... i checked his stats vs some of the better D's and he fell off quite a bit and umm...he got alot of his yards out of the slot... maclin is slot and jim johnson is away sick so... that D is gonna fall off quite a bit

I'd say arizona, minnesota and giants D is pretty average wouldnt you say? And jackson made lots of big plays against all of those teams in the playoffs.

arizona didnt have a D til the playoffs,the vikes have more of a run D... and the giants they are a top D i dunno wat happened... i guess they just know them well

when it comes to the Ravens offensive drafting.....the NFL **** boys agreed with me on yesterdays program! they should have drafted some wrs to compliment Flacco. however...the offense should be decent. but...i want EXPLOSIVE!!! we need balance. the defense has been the standout for years now. now it is time for the Ravens offense to come up to the defenses level.

naw bruh! the Ravens defense will still be a top defense in madden10 and in real life. that is our bread and butter. check this out!

Baltimore Ravens|AFC North

The Ravens have traditionally been very tough on defense over the last decade and things will be no different in Madden NFL 10. Led by perennial Pro Bowlers Ed Reed (99 OVR/97 ZONE/84 CTH) and Ray Lewis (97 OVR/97 TAK), the Ravens are definitely one of the top defensive teams this year in Madden. OLB Terrell Suggs (90 OVR) wrecks havoc on the outside and DE Haloti Nagata (90 OVR/97 STR) is a force against the run. CB Fabian Washington (77 OVR/98 SPD) is back to build on a solid season and he is paired up with free agent pickup Dominique Foxworth (82 OVR/93 SPD), forming one of the faster starting duos in the league. On offense, QB Joe Flacco (81 OVR/97 THP) is back for his sophomore season and is ready to open the offense up a bit more this year. Many of the same faces return: WR Derrick Mason (88 OVR/94 CTH) leads the 20th ranked WR unit, the three-headed monster of Willis McGahee (83 OVR), Ray Rice (78 OVR), and Fullback Le'Ron McClain (92 OVR/89 TRK) will share the carries again this year, and Todd Heap (84 OVR) is back at TE. On the offensive line, the Ravens have some great building blocks in Guard Ben Grubbs (87 OVR) and Tackles Jared Gaither (81 OVR) and 1st Round Pick Michael Oher (77 OVR).

wat the ravens did last year wasnt really an offense to begin with is what people fail to realize.. last year was just D and protecting flacco.... with 8 blocks and 2 receiving options and they ran the ball the most of any team... this year wont be anymore 8 blockers... he is actually going to command the offense so the offense can only improve... it wont be the patriots offense but it will be a decent unit and thats all it really requires....a good example is the steelers O... i mean they dont have a SUPER O but they have enough to get it done

also by the time the ravens picked i dont believe there were any WRs that would have jumped into the starting 3 spots any time soon and they couldnt trade up for a WR cause the earlier u take one the more you pay and they still havent signed suggz... and suggs = more important than a WR to me

signing suggs is important and i hope they lock him up quickly....but the truth of the matter is that he can't put points on the board! so...irregardless of how good the defense is....if the Ravens struggle with putting up 7pts on a consistent basis and have to ALWAYS settle for 3pts in the red zone their offense will never be a good one!

you aint wrong mili there d still will be a force but losin a guy like bart scott is gonna put alot more pressure on ray ray to make more of the plays. who did they get to replace scott anyway i havent heard anything about that

well devo...it's really not about "replacing" scott. of course we will miss the "Mad Backer" but....remember...the Ravens are loaded with good solid LBs. you have to be in order to run that 3-4. some of our boys was out last season due to injuries. but don't forget....we still have:

MLB Ray Lewis (Miami)...King of the "Dirty Black-Birds"
MLB Tavares Gooden (Miami)...this is another boy from the "U" like Ray Lewis and Ed Reed.
MLB Jameel McClain
ROLB Antwan Barnes
ROLB Terrell Suggs (we gotta lock him up in his contract)

these are just to name a few...no need for me to mention all! we will be straight defensively!

naw bro, they not related

in order to have a good O though u gotta go cheap somewhere..... i.e the broncos.. the patriots only spend money on D and O line and Pittsburgh has No O-line, the eagles had to lose dawkins and trade lito and they never have solid LBs... the colts release LBs after like 2-3 years.... we just happen to be cheap at WR.. we have 2 First round picks on the O-line,mcgahee and Flacco...and Heap and all those guys on D making big money...so it had to be cheap somewhere... they just have to find like 3-5th round gem WRs like colston and brandon marshall

and as pittsburgh shows u dont need a really really great O to win a bowl..when u have a D like that you just need something and this year they wont just be worried about protecting flacco so he can actually run the offense so this is the year u can really judge wat we really have O

i think they shoulda went with ramses barden in the draft. the ravens dont really got any height at wr so he woulda been at least worth a shot

they also won a bowl with D and just running jamal lewis behind a good run blocking O-line
and we have a couple of 6-5,6-4 Wrs like taht they are being developed tho from wat ive read and Demetrius is 6'2 he will be slot
