Re: MiniCamp, OTA's, Training Camp Updates
If Carter proves to be an effective returner he could make the team - but not at the expense of Camp or Waller. The Ravens didn't give Waller a $111K signing bonus to cut him at the end of training camp. It would have to be an exceptional set of circumstances for the Ravens to do that.
If the Ravens keep only three tight ends (the Heap brothers) I can see the Ravens keeping SSS, Camp, Marlon, Aiken, Perriman and Waller - along with someone like Carter for kick returns.
That would be a total of 10. The total becomes 12 with 2 quarterbacks. It becomes 16 with four running backs (Forsett, Tali, Allen, and Juice. That leaves 9 for the O line. That totals 25 on offense. The complication comes in if "Heap Sr." does in fact come back - but that's another story.

Re: MiniCamp, OTA's, Training Camp Updates
I'm not dogging on Marlon; I like the guy and think he's a pretty decent receiver. However, two-thirds of his career receptions came two years ago when the Ravens had traded away Boldin and lost Pitta for the season. There weren't a lot of options for Joe to throw the ball to. His receptions were cut in half this past year and he was more often than not an after-thought in the offense. Add that to two big-bodied draft picks, a healthier Campanaro, the rise of Aiken, and the need for a kick returner, and Brown's spot is no guarantee.

Re: MiniCamp, OTA's, Training Camp Updates
This Ravens report mentions Carter as somebody to watch. He could be Ozzie's latest undrafted find.
Perriman took a pass on a crossing pattern and out-ran everyone to the
end zone. OK, OK it wasn't a SB defense with Revis out there but he comes
as advertised ie, with speed at least vs the lowest levels and he has only
dropped 1 pass.
LOL - I though Nick would be on the practice squad coming from whittle
bitty Delaware after the Gino disaster but he has been the most impressive
player in camp. He might be the best blocking TE
we have and he can catch but could likely be the 2d TE on the 2 TE sets
Ravens liked to use last year.
Maxx is turning out how I posted before the draft finding the dead spots
and being a big target in the red zone.
DARB's Waller towers over everyone and could be the sleeper of the draft.
HARBs really liked Wilson the DB that broke his leg falling backwards. Damn
shame.
From the Ravens:
- First-round pick Breshad Perriman attracted most of the attention, and he had a strong showing in his second NFL practice. His speed was evident and he showed quickness off the line to gain separation from cornerbacks. During full team drills, Perriman caught a crossing route over the middle and then ran by the entire secondary into the end zone. Perriman’s hands have been the biggest question since the Ravens drafted him, but he only dropped one pass all day.
- The biggest disappointment of the weekend was that undrafted cornerback Oklahoma Julian Wilson suffered a season-ending injury in Friday’s practice when he broke his lower leg after falling awkwardly while defending a passing route, Harbaugh said. “He has a lot of potential as a player, so I was disappointed,” Harbaugh said.
- Sixth-round wide receiver Darren Waller towers over his teammates. The 6-foot-6, 240-pound target has the size to be an ideal red-zone threat, and he’s one of the team’s most intriguing prospects. Wide Receivers Coach Bobby Engram spent a good portion of practice working with Waller on some specifics of his route running and technique.
- Tight end Maxx Williams had a strong practice and showed an ability to get open in the middle of the defense. He has a knack for finding the soft spots of the defense to move the chains and keep drives alive.
- Tight end Nick Boyle, a fifth-round pick out of Delaware, was one of the most impressive players of the day. The 270-pound tight end has a huge catch radius and is also physical as a blocker. He could end up being an important player for Baltimore in double tight end sets.
- Undrafted rookie receiver DeAndre Carter from Sacramento State is somebody to watch. He’s just 5-foot-8, but he has great speed and was highly productive in college. He can work the slot and is also in the mix as a returner.

Re: MiniCamp, OTA's, Training Camp Updates
Damn man, I pray for these guys. Another casualty from Denver. Jeff Heuerman suffers torn ACL and is out for the season. :(

Re: MiniCamp, OTA's, Training Camp Updates
The problem with Camp and Carter is that they have identical skill sets. The Ravens could keep both, but it seems a little excessive and they might have to do it at another's expense.
But I agree with you on Waller. He's got measurables everyone wants and would not last on the PS. A mysterious placement on IR is the worst thing that happens to him.Let's win the f**king game.

Re: MiniCamp, OTA's, Training Camp Updates
When is the trade coming - we have loads of WRs and TEs. If the Ravens feel Waller can become an ideal red zone threat then we should deal Marlon. Sooner rather than later, so we are not on the verge of having to just cut him. Kubiak needs a TE, trade him any Heap bro except Maxx, I say. Drive a good deal.
If we can't get a CB, at least we can improve our picks for 2016.

Re: MiniCamp, OTA's, Training Camp Updates
The mantra here would be, look to improve the team and drive a good deal. As it stands now, we are going to be saying goodbye to some good/promising players in August.

Re: MiniCamp, OTA's, Training Camp Updates
Hoping Ravens training staff takes into consideration all the injuries last year and comes up with programs to at least, minimize injuries this year. Worst news ever is to hear some one got hurt badly in OTA's and is out for the season already.
