Re: Training Camp 2013 Thread
Dickson had 54 catches two seasons ago. The arrow was pointing up for him. Last year he was banged up and Pitta became a really good TE cutting down on his targets. He did play much better and had good production after Caldwell took over. I definitely do not think it is spin with him. Doesn't surprise me on Furst.
Where are you hearing the #2 wr is not working out as hoped? There has been positive news on all three. Nothing really negative been said about the potential WRs. Ozzie said something about speed on the outside would put pressure on the defense to cover the whole field. I anticipate them using the #2 wr like they used Torrey early in his career. They will use Jones and Thompson to keep the safeties back.
Have not heard much about Brown or the linebackers. Heard good things about Elam and Ihedibo. If Elam learns the defense and is ready he should overtake him.
Would not read too much in BW's roster listing now. They have Ngata and Cody listed as 1 and 2 but from early reports Cody may not make the roster. BW has a good shot at being the backup NT on opening day.

Re: Training Camp 2013 Thread
The positives:
Dickson is good, but he doesn't fully have Joe's trust yet. He's faster than Pitta so hopefully Caldwell will exploit that
Caldwell is implementing 3 receiver sets and will actually use them in a game, unlike his predecessor.
Thompson and Doss are unproven, but that's a good thing because the first 3-4 games will be tough to game plan against them.

Re: Training Camp 2013 Thread
This is a contract year for Dickson. All he has to do it look at what the payoff was for Kruger, Ellerbe and Cary Williams. Instead of playing second fiddle to Pitta he can be the man. Dickson has all the opportunity and motivation for a huge year. Will he be able to take advantage of it? Honestly I think he will.

Re: Training Camp 2013 Thread
A few observations from Navy Marine Corps Memorial...
Dickson got dinged and did not participate in full 1 on 1's.
Tucker hitting 50 yards easily. Barely short on 58 and 64.
Deonte is good at creating on short routes from the slot.
Gino vs. Canty was mostly Canty.
JJ12 screwed Jimmy into the ground on a post corner.
Nothing from Furstenberg or Juice. No targets that I've seen.
Mellette has terrific hands. Still doesn't separate but if he can develop that skill over time... look out.
I'd like to see Marlon Brown PS'd. I love his size.
T-Mobile to Mellette on a beautiful go route from the 30. Pro bowl throw by Taylor.
Streeter drops an easy uncontested slant.
Tucker hits the crossbar on a 62 yarder.
Lots of flags on the non-slot CBs. Defensive holding and PI."The Ravens are not taking Jimmy Smith at 26!" -- Me, the day before the 2011 Draft
"On their way to the podium, the Ravens FO is going to collectively step over my dead body and select...Breshad Perriman." -- Me, the day before the 2015 Draft

Re: Training Camp 2013 Thread
Furstenberg is in with the 3's exclusively. I guess with Dickson gimped a bit (nothing major), Shiancoe had been running souble duty with 1's and 2's... along with Billy.
Streeter with a nice corner route grab."The Ravens are not taking Jimmy Smith at 26!" -- Me, the day before the 2011 Draft

Re: Training Camp 2013 Thread
I have a good feeling about Mellette.
The Ravens are due a late round receiver to finally pan out.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.

Re: Training Camp 2013 Thread
Time for me to give up on Streeter. Shame.
I saw a tweet that said Marlon Brown is getting some run with the 2's...pretty impressive for an UDFA in year one.
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HDAlthough Walsh's system of offense can compensate for lack of talent; however, defense is a different story. According to Walsh, talent on defense was essential and could not be compensated for. What did Walsh do in 1981? He acquired physical and talented players on defense.

Baltimore Beatdown @BMoreBeatdown 2m
Marlon Brown has only been practicing for three days now. He's been with the second team while Tommy Streeter has been with the third team.
Daniel Jeremiah @MoveTheSticks
Ravens WR group has a ton of speed... Smith, Jones and Thompson can fly. Interested to see who will be RZ go-to-guy. That's my concern.
Daniel Jeremiah @MoveTheSticks
Balt front 7 is impressive. Daryl Smith is a rock solid addition. Canty is a perfect 5 tech. Dumervil/Suggs provide pass rushBalltimore Beatdown @BMoreBeatdown
All the 60-yard-plus kicks Justin Tucker's making at Owings Mills are falling short today. Just missed from 63. #OffDay
Baltimore Beatdown @BMoreBeatdown
Tyrod Taylor to Aaron Mellette for a TD during 2-minute drill. Mellette's having a good practice today.
Baltimore Beatdown @BMoreBeatdown
No sign of Ed Dickson on the sideline. Hasn't been on the field in a while either.
Baltimore Beatdown @BMoreBeatdown
Justin Tucker's booming his FGs deep, but just misses from 65. Followed it by just missing from 68. Both were real close.
Baltimore Beatdown @BMoreBeatdown
Visanthe Shiancoe and A.Q. Shipley getting some time with the first-team right now.
Baltimore Beatdown @BMoreBeatdown
Marc Anthony flagged for pass interference on LaQuan Williams. Williams had a chance at what would've been a spectacular catch.
Baltimore Beatdown @BMoreBeatdown
Second-team receivers, without David Reed at practice, are LaQuan Williams, Aaron Mellette and Marlon Brown.
Baltimore Beatdown @BMoreBeatdown
Torrey Smith with a nice adjustment on a ball from Joe Flacco in coverage. Came down with a catch, drew praise from the fans.
Baltimore Beatdown @BMoreBeatdown
Tyrod Taylor just ran a read-option play. Doubtful that becomes a staple of the #Ravens playbook moving forward.
Baltimore Beatdown @BMoreBeatdown
Jacoby Jones just shook Jimmy Smith inside, to which Smith fell for. Jones then had a wide open TD. Smith showed class and gave Jones a five
Baltimore Beatdown @BMoreBeatdown
Tommy Streeter came down with a tough grab in one-on-ones. His pattern was a post, had to jump, reach high for it.
Baltimore Beatdown @BMoreBeatdown
Aaron Mellette had his man deep in one-on-one drills but dropped what should have been a TD from Joe Flacco.
