Re: New draft/FA/offseason thread
Although 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.

Re: New draft/FA/offseason thread
If they could get that done to lower his number, restructure and extend Jacoby a year or 2 to lower his number i think it's a win. Doss and Jacoby keep their same roles and we see what we have with the rest of the guys, then take a guy to groom as an heir apparent outside or in the slot i'd be ecstatic.

Re: New draft/FA/offseason thread
I'm thinking this as well. Boldin's play in the postseason has pretty much made him irreplaceable. Nobody on the roster has anywhere close to the toughness, reliability, or veteran savvy that he brings. The Ravens are really going to be in a bind with him... his cap number is just way too damn big next year so they NEED to do something with him. But what does the renegotiated contract he'd be willing to sign look like? At this point he's played himself into a nice contract that might prevent them from saving too much money in 2013.
At this point if I'm Boldin I doubt I'd sign anything less than 4 years, 20 million or so. And that very may be where he ends up... and I don't think I'd have a problem with it. That's kind of steep for a guy who generally operates in the slot, but again, he's pretty much irreplaceable at this point. I'm now thinking that the Ravens would be much more willing to part with Jacoby than Boldin.
I look for the Ravens to add competition at the #3 WR spot next year, though. Doss continues to underwhelm and they don't really have anybody else, other than hoping (against better odds) that Streeter and/or Thompson emerge.

Re: New draft/FA/offseason thread
Don't see the big deal about Justin Pugh, he's just way too small to play LT in this league.

Re: New draft/FA/offseason thread
I think Quinton Patton's arm length and build make him look taller than he actually is. The lack of height is a bit of a disappointment but he isn't a "size guy" anyway. I like him as a prospect but I'm not sure if he fits our offense. He's a GREAT fit for a Bruce Arians-style offense, though. He could play the Reggie Wayne/Hines Ward "slot" role really well.
He has good tape, but those measurements are really rough... worse than Michael Oher's (although Oher's problems are really mental rather than physical.) He might have to move to guard in the NFL.

Re: New draft/FA/offseason thread
Patton being 2" shorter than listed was a bit of a surprise. That'll hurt him.
Regarding Swope's hand size...yes, it is a concern, but Torrey doesn't have big hands either.
One big surprise to me was Brian Winters measuring in nearly 3" shorter than his listed 6'6". That is going to REALLY hurt him because it pretty much moves him from a LT possibility to a certain guard position.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.

Jon Jenkins was listed at 6'3" 351lbs...measured in nearly an inch taller and 359lbs. That's a big boy.
