Re: OTA Tidbits
That is a significant reason why top quality QBs are paid the money they are paid. Peyton Manning was paid to make Anthony Gonzalez and Pierre Garcon look better than they were. Aaron Rodgers was paid to make the absence of Greg Jennings irrelevant.
Torrey Smith is the guy this passing offense goes through. If Torrey gets one on one, he'll kill you. The double team he draws opens up opportunities for the other WRs/TEs.
Joe was paid to make the rest of them look better than they are. In part, because there won't be any money left to pay anybody else. Joe got his and Torrey will get his.
It's just like the defense. Ray got his money. The guy beside him didn't. Ngata got his money, the guys beside him didn't. Reed got his money. The guys beside him didn't."Please take with you this final sword, The Excellector. I am praying that your journey will be guided by the light", Leon Shore

Re: OTA Tidbits
Yes, I agree completely.
And there are other things I like...
With so many new, young faces, this team is hungry.
They are chomping at the bit to create their own legacy.
These vets, even if it was just one year guys, saw what Ray and Ed and Q did here, up close.
Those star players being here, have left a positive imprint on those they left behind to carry on, IMHO.
I don't see a super bowl hangover here.

Re: OTA Tidbits
Something must be going on right if Bryant McKinnie is showing up to Mini-camp in shape.

Re: OTA Tidbits
Elam picked off Flacco the other day and after hitting the ground, got up and celebrated. He forgot that you are not down in the NFL, unlike college, until someone touches you. With teammates yelling at him to run, he cut the celebration short and took the ball another 20 yards down the field. The team than gathered around him cheering him on. LOL....he later said how exciting it was to pick off such a great, SB champion QB.
Ray Rice acknowledged that the team has gotten a lot younger and a lot faster. He likes the way things are shaping up.
On paper, our only weakness looks to be at receiver. But entering year 6, this is Flacco's time to make a couple of these guys look better than they are. If Dickson can get back to his 2011 form and the continued development of Torrey/ Pitta, and Caldwell calling plays and installing his offense, I think we should see a better offense than we saw in last years regular season.
Run defense will be stout. I hope Williams grabs the starting NG spot and never looks back. 3rd down defense should be among leagues best with Sizzle and Doom. No reason not to expect a better defense than 2012.
No reason we shouldn't be the hands down favorite to win the north for a third straight year.

Re: OTA Tidbits
Cincinatti will go as far as Andy Dalton takes them. If Dalton decides that he wants to stomp big, they'll make noise. Otherwise, they'll be in the same situation against us that they were last year. Pick your poison. Either you are going to stop Rice or your going to stop Smith, but you won't stop both. The year before, they started by trying to stop Rice and Smith beat them. In the finale, they tried to stop Smith and Rice beat them. Last year, they couldn't stop either one. Last year's finale, the Ravens barely played their starters.
Pittsburgh is going to have to get Ben on the same page with his OC. Their offensive line will have to stay healthy. It's not that they can't, it's just that they've been trending downward."Please take with you this final sword, The Excellector.

Arthur Brown in action, dude looks like he's slightly smaller than Pollard.
