Re: Coming Into Camp Healthy
Agreed, I'm glad they switched to a new trainer and new approach. Also agreed - Flacco coming off ACL last year was the biggest question mark and this year it's the biggest benefit IMO since he has that in the past. Have to imagine going through all of the surgery, rehab, etc. and then lining up and seeing pass rushers coming at you has to have an effect for a while.
PS - tried to give some cred to GWNR but it won't let me. Great OP

Re: Coming Into Camp Healthy
Any word on Yanda's recovery from shoulder surgery?

Re: Coming Into Camp Healthy
Torrey's durability was undervalued around here, IMO. The context is not only the breath we have to hold every time Perriman or Campano go down, but that the aging Wallace had lousy production the last half of 2016. We better pray that Wallace is not deteriorating due to age.

Re: Coming Into Camp Healthy
Wallace shouldn't be deteriorating with age, its effort on his part. I have stated this time and time again Mike Wallace is without a doubt the laziest player I have ever seen wear a Ravens uniform. I watched every game last year, some more than once. Watch him when the play isn't coming his way, he doesn't block worth a damn and puts fourth half ass effort as a decoy. Yet we wonder why our offense is so predictable?
Torreys durability and dedication was absolutely undervalued here. We should have never let him walk. He got paid handsomely, but we could have had him back for a decent price and he went to the Eagles for very little money.
Ozzies middle name is Luskins in case you didn't know. He is the cheapest guy in town.

Re: Coming Into Camp Healthy
From what I'm reading, the players really like it and it is not because it is easy, its because they understand what it is trying to do and agree with the concept.
Think it was Weddle who said he never runs 100 yd sprints in a game but a bunch of 30-40 (or if he has to run them, he won't have a job for long) .... liked the idea of training by doing what he needs in a game.at one point of my life I was exactly Pi years old

Re: Coming Into Camp Healthy
I agree that Torrey was probably undervalued for certain traits--durability among them, but I'm curious as to the "decent price" at which you think we could have brought him back. I think Ozzie's letting go of Torrey when he did will go down as one of his shrewdest decisions ever--and I love Torrey as a guy and really liked him as a Raven.

Re: Coming Into Camp Healthy
Agreed.
And their old program seemed to be a machines-based program? I thought Harbaugh was a big free-weights guy when he got here, but from what I was reading the strength program seemed to be mostly machines the last few years. Maybe I misunderstood. Anyway, the new guy seems to be a free-weights guy, which is a philosophy I agree with.

Re: Coming Into Camp Healthy
Not so much that but it was system driven.
From what I'm hearing people are now grouped together according to needs they have to work on as opposed to position they play ... players with lower body strength issues will train with others like them regardless of O or D, same with flexibility issues ... the big change is to team chemistry also. It is no longer us against them, offense against defense (as it cliqued into under other coaches - Rex in particular)
There are player bonds being forged on the team across lines that weren't done before .... sure Harbs took the team out for bonding times like a movie ... but this is a whole different level of interaction. I'm sure Harbs is gung-ho for it for this reason alone if nothing else (as long as it works)at one point of my life I was exactly Pi years old

Re: Coming Into Camp Healthy
I'm willing to bet Camp is injured within the first two weeks of TC
