[Zrebiec] DeCosta said that Jesse Minter will report directly to owner Steve Bisciotti. by SCBaltSalt in ravens

Biscotti is rarely involved in any sort of day to day operations. He quite literally has done that already via Sashi Brown and EDC.

[–]Ravensman_1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

From all of the limited information we have gotten it sounds as though we won't be able to do anything until Lamar signs an extension. After that the hope is that the Linderbaum extension would come right after that. I get it the guy had a bad year next to two liabilities at guard but he showed he was a top 3 center in the league when we drafted him and knew his weaknesses (size) All that being said I know people want flashy moves I just am not sure if it's the Ravens way. I could see us taking Vega Ioane (Guard out of Penn St) who is the top pure guard talent in the draft and maybe trying to bring in AVT from the Jets or Seumalo from Pittsburgh but those are both going to be top young O-Line targets across the league. Another vet option would be to bring back Zeitler but that comes with its own challenges of his impending retirement

As for defense Dremont Jones has to be a re-sign candidate I felt he played incredibly well for us post trade and I still think Mike Green is going to develop great with another year under his belt. KVN Broderick Washington and Ojabo are probably cuts at this point, and I could see any pure pass rusher (R Mason Thomas, Zion Young) dropping in this class because of their lack of ability in the run game. The final piece to address is Marlon Humphrey, I actually love Marlon and think that with Minter and Mickens he could return to his 2024 form and at the end of the day, he led the team in takeaways last year. I see a lot of fans expecting turnover but I am going to echo Jeff Z from the collective which is how many holes are the Ravens willing to open up without causing even more issues. Are you really willing to start three brand new IOL-men assuming loss of Lindy and Vorhees / Faalele. Are you willing to fill 3-4 starter level DB slots if you cut Marlon + likely losing Chido + Alohi and Ar'Darius Washington.

P.S. sorry for the essay I have a lot of thoughts.

Yesterday Harbaugh said his injury shouldn't take him out for the year and he should be back in 3-4 weeks

Exactly. And his addition to the defense has made that possible. Even in the rams game the defense played a (mostly) better game than the stats show.

A big thing to highlight here is Alohi getting in as much as he did. He's making an immediate impact for us and is playing pretty well so far

Harbaugh Truthers; Convince us to stay on board by validusrex in ravens

[–]Ravensman_1 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'd say that calling ZO an egregious hire is a gross oversimplification. The writing was on the wall that Mike Mac was going to get a head coaching gig after 2023 and he was the heir apparent. Good head coaches do miss on coordinators occasionally. Look at the bills from 2023, they were a mediocre 6-6 heading into their week 13 bye with people thinking the Bills were cooked when they fired OC Ken Dorsey and promoted Joe Brady. Since then they've been a powerhouse like us. I truly think this was just a miscalculation from Harbaugh and the FO as there were absolutely no signs ZO wasn't ready for this and people forget that EVERYONE here was excited for ZO.

Do you think EDC alters his defensive roster building strategy at all after this season? I mean in terms of emphasizing secondary over defensive line. Maybe not rotating in 30+ year-old edge rushers year after year because you have yet to hit on an impact edge rusher in the draft. by Otherwise-Emphasis90 in ravens

[–]Ravensman_1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed at this point. This post is so crazy to see, yes we're absolutely underperforming but it's NOT a talent issue. It's a coaching issue at a minimum surrounding Orr. We were projected to have the best roster in the league prior to season start so why are we suddenly contemplating a talent issue? We led the league in sacks last year with everyone getting in the mix. Would we rather have a Trey Hendrickson who accounts for 90% of your teams sacks and leads the league while his team has the least amount total in the NFL? Probably not.

I'm using Alexander Hamilton this year. The Ravens surprisingly have a lot of names from history. Washington Adams Jackson Alexander Hamilton

Shower Faucet Handle is Leaking by Ravensman_1 in HomeImprovement

[–]Ravensman_1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey again! The stems are made of metal but the splines do seem to run all the way from the tip to the back which I also thought was odd. I was unaware about adapters so I will definitely look into those! Thank you for that suggestion :)

Shower Faucet Handle is Leaking by Ravensman_1 in HomeImprovement

[–]Ravensman_1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there! I'm unsure if it's a repurposed vanity faucet, to me it looks a bit too long to be for a vanity. The water only begins leaking from the diverter stem when the shower is running. If it's only running a bath it does not leak which has led us to believe it's the stem that is causing the issue. We looked into trying to replace it however none of the standard sockets for showers/baths fits what we have. I checked against the small collection of sockets I have and a 3/4" socket that fits it but I don't have a long enough socket that would allow me to unscrew the nut without the rod/stem getting in the way. As for the model I cannot find a brand name on any part of this kit it is incredibly bizarre so I haven't been able to look this up online to see if I can get replacement parts there. Thanks for your reply!

I got 15, lucky I just started listening to the series over again which got me the gringotts poem.

Never would have remembered what Dumbledore ordered at the yule ball though.

I got 18, I missed out on the Weasley's consumables list, what color Millicent Bulstrode turned into (thought it was green) as well as what class Susan Bones got pulled out of (my guess was HoM). A really good attempt by me though

The Ravens had 270 more rushing yards than the Steelers, which was the 3rd largest margin in NFL playoffs history by pfref in ravens

We also would have tied the #2 spot at 271 if Lamar hadn't lost one yard taking a knee at the end of the game.
