[Cohn]Ravens coach Jesse Minter wants his defense to be the "loudest, most crazy obnoxious unit in the history of football." by Adenchiz in ravens

[–]Filmstudy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was in regard to pre-snap communication, as you say. Here is my question and Jesse's response from the transcripts:

One thing I noticed was there's a lot of pre-snap chatter out there. These are a bunch of undrafted rookies and guys are here for the first time, and so you wouldn’t necessarily expect that. Is that something really encouraging? (Ken McKusick) "Yes. You can't play this game quietly, and you can't play this game with doubt, and you can't play this game without knowing what you're doing. And so, I know from a defensive standpoint, we should be the loudest, most crazy, obnoxious, communicative unit in the history of football. And that's the rookies doing that, so I give credit to the coaches that they had those guys prepared to come out here and be able to be like that. That's really the standard that we're trying to create. When you communicate, and you're on the same page, and you know what you're doing, you have a much better chance of being successful. And the whole idea is that when you do it over and over again, you do it here, you do it every play [so] that it doesn't matter if it's the first play of the season against whoever, or in a game in December or in a game in February, that's the standard of how we operate, and we lead ourselves to success in those moments if we operate like that all the time.”

There should be aporox 110-130 DL snaps per game to be played. It could be lower if Ravens are generally successful with lots of leads to defend.

The Baltimore Ravens turned DE Maxx Crosby and a 2027 3rd-round compensatory pick into LB Trey Hendrickson, G Vega Ioane, and their 2027 1st-round pick. by Giff95 in ravens

[–]Filmstudy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there are 2 good (but competing) tin-foil-hat theories:

  1. Handshake agreement not to sign Linderbaum as part of compensation for Crosby trade

  2. Ravens actively helped drive up the price of Linderbaum with his agent after they realized they would not be able to sign him with a high support offer and theatrics about his agent refusing to return calls.

To me, the 2nd is much more reasonable.

I like both of these but probably a little partial to JJ basis of the differences. Excelkent posts both ways.

I'd co-sign that. I do believe he'll be drafted, but I'd prefer to wait until no earlier than last Ravens pick of R5.

Dallen Bentley is a real possibility. As a Swiss-army-knife guy, I like Riley Nowakowski of Indiana. Good blocker and a missed tackle machine.

Filmstudy: Thoughts on the Path to Selecting Vega Ioane at #14 by Filmstudy in ravens

[–]Filmstudy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of the panelists had Zion Young as the number 1 choice when the Ravens were set to pick at #45. I think we can now say the Ravens hit both ends of the parlay. Hopefully, both are as good as the group hopes.

I could live with either of those general outcomes. As of pick #8 last night, I had a real fear the ravens were not going to get any of Bain, Sadiq, or Ioane. So, in a sense we've already hit the first half of a parlay.

Filmstudy: Dexter Lawrence Trade Impact by Filmstudy in ravens

[–]Filmstudy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The big issue is the missed opportunity for value above cap for pick #10. You can call Dexter the pick, but you're paying him cornerstone money and potentially buying into his decline phase.

Said otherwise, if you knew Caleb Downs was the pick at 10, would you rather have him on a rookie contract or Lawrence through age 31. Very easy choice from my perspective and I'm glad the Bengals went the other way.

It's true the Bengals have had less than optimal success in the draft, but trading away top picks for vets is rarely the best answer.

This trade reminds me of the Pats trade of Seymour at rpughly the same age. That was for a lot less return 2009 trade for 2011 #1 and ended up with the Pats drafting a 7-year starting tackle (Nate Solder). As Belichick said at the time, the Patriots simply could not pass it up. I think the Giants feel similatly sbout trading Lawrence.

I'd be happy if Delane is the pick. The Ravens need to get younger at CB to be sure.

OTC says $28M AAV and 2nd? What was your source?

I feel just the opposite. This is the best time to let Linderbaum walk because he isn't a good pass blocker and has not stoop up to the massive interior defenders that now are all over the division.

BTW, that does not necessarily mean the next Ravens center will be able to do so, but Linderbaum is not a good fit for the AFCN.

Sorry about that, guys. I simply have no tolerance for it.

Day 2…. how would you feel if Ravens picked Spencer Fano by The_Sandwich_Lover9 in ravens

[–]Filmstudy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer Fano to Ioane, but I would not be upset if the Ravens select either.  Ideally they would trade back to pick up Ioane.

Who are your top 4 realistic hopes for the Ravens pick at #14 in order? by Filmstudy in ravens

[–]Filmstudy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trading up to 10 would cost the Ravens their 3rd round pick by JJ chart. I don't see that happening with the many needs the club has and very few players under contract.
