On occasion GWNR.

I dig it.

This is why I wanted a guy like ryan switzer.

Bold prediction building off this. Campy plays 16 games.... has anything been more bold!? Lol

Why is it annoying? Because it just doesn't make sense after how bad of a football player he looked like. I have zero justification, but that's my gut

That wouldn't be a surprise. It would be a miracle.

Too far, GWNR... too far...

1. Correa grabs the ILB position and makes us forget all about Orr.

2. Siragusa nabs a starting spot on the line, and we end up signing a scrap heap center to play behind Jensen.

3. A rookie or second year player leads the team in sacks (Judon, Williams, Bowser?)

I apparently misspelt "snaps" ;)

I like Shas's original prediction about Levine, because it makes the most sense, but here is my twist on it...Canady plays too well to be ignored in the PS and secures a role as a cover-2 safety in dime packages, which allows Webb to move up to fill slot corner role and Jefferson to move up opposite the TE on passing downs where his impact as a playmaker shines.

Despite being a solid SCB choice with ball skills, Boykin loses coaching favor and sits for much of the season.

Agreed on Onwuasor. I think he's got a roster spot because of his ST ability, but I shutter to see him in a full time role on defense. He doesn't have the size to step up in the hole and bounce off of blocks. You could see it in the preseason and even more so in the last game against actual NFL talent. He's a decent reserve but you're probably looking at him more as a #4 ILB who only plays there in nickel or emergency situations. His role is ST.

Agree that Onwuasor is not starting/full-time material, but I can see his role as a 3rd down specialist because he's a tweener (somewhere between an ILB and a Safety). That, along with his STeams ability, can make him a valuable part-timer... Bc

Peanut's limitation is that Pees doesn't go into the dime. In the dime he could be useful (as could Levine).

We need more dime in his conservative scheme.

Ahhh now I see it, He runs the prevent dime scheme

It would be something if he even did that. However, for the bulk of the required defensive stands over the last 5 seasons, the Ravens have played nickel.

I'd love to make an o-line prediction like everyone else but I honestly have no clue how that will shake out. It's the biggest mystery of the whole team.

It would be a surprise if Campanaro and Perriman finished within 10 catches of each other. I don't know if it would be a good surprise or a bad one, but it would be a surprise.

1. Nick Boyle starts at TE and has 600 yards and 6 TDs.

2. Judon starts at OLB and gets 8 sacks.

3. Jensen wins the starting job at C and helps West run for 1,000+ yards.

If Perriman and CampanIRo end up within 10 catches of one another, I'd suspect Perriman went on IR too... Bc
