RONNIE STANLEY
T, BALTIMORE RAVENS

Ravens signed LT Ronnie Stanley to a five-year, $98.75 million contract.

It includes $70.9 million in guarantees. The $19.75 million APY makes Stanley the second-highest paid tackle in the league. Stanley was a first-team All-Pro last year and hasn't allowed a sack in five appearances this season. The Ravens have been aggressive in locking up contract-year players, with GM Eric DeCosta extending CB Marlon Humphrey earlier this month. 26-year-old Stanley is now signed through 2025.

Drew Lock is already one of my favorite players to root for in the league. I really like his energy/personality:

Even though we won’t make the playoffs this year it’s beautiful poetic justice watching the SeaCocks gettting waxed by the Bills after last week.

The crazy thing is, if I remember correctly, not one of us said anything negative about Deebo in regard to his skill set. I compared him to Golden Tate. I think everyone seemed to like him as a player. I’m saying that just to say: I don’t want people to confuse or misinterpret my love for DK and AJ as me saying that I disliked Deebo as a prospect. The only thing I’m saying is that those other two receivers were simply better than he was coming out (it was undeniably clear).

Yeah, I liked Deebo quite a bit. I just wanted them to trade back and ideally take Brown. Both are good players, but I think it's pretty clear Brown is the better talent. He could do most if not all of what Deebo does, and is the better pure receiver.

A.J. BROWN
WR, TENNESSEE TITANS

A.J. Brown caught 4-of-9 targets for 101 yards and one score in Tennessee's Week 9 win over the Bears.

Brown's first highlight-reel reception, a play-action crosser that he grabbed and bounced upfield off Eddie Jackson for a pile of yards after the catch, helped the Titans grab the game's first lead. He later helped cement that lead with a 40-yard slot fade that Ryan Tannehill dropped in a bucket along the sideline. Brown's volume was a concern coming into the year, but he's consistently shaken those doubts off with seven targets and/or a receiving score in every game this season. Brown is a weekly matchup-proof WR1 for the rest of the year.

What was Brown's 40 time.

Seems like he's going to out-physical most CBs. He should be able to dominate them on run blocking at the edge too.

4.49. He and Deebo were pretty similar physically, though Deebo outperformed him across the board the combine, other than the bench press.

Incredible finish in the Bills vs Cards game. Man I’d kill to have a QB like Kyle Murray.

I think majority of us would kill just for a good QB in general.. This draft will be QB heavy but I’m personally not a fan of us scouting Zach Wilson, I don’t think he’ll be a franchise changing QB.

Well Hopkins made a play to, beating more than one defender on that jump ball.

I was irritated when the Cards won, but we're done this year anyway, and it makes it that much harder for the Hawks to win the division. Wishing ill on the Hawks is basically what my season has come down to....

All charges against DeAndre Baker dropped after the witnesses recanted in the armed robbery case against him. GO GET HIM NOW!!! I was pretty interested in him if he had been on the board in the second round last year. He struggled a bit as a rookie, but with our CB situation this offseason, we need to at least look into this.

Iuapati and Hyde gashing the Cards for Seattle.

CrimsonCrew · Post #6515 » by **CrimsonCrew** » Fri Nov 20, 2020 7:09 am

And JR Sweezy holding in the endzone for a safety. Ha! That was a rough game to watch. Cards did not look good at all, on either side of the ball. NFC West may be the most overrated division in football, or the Hawks' D suddenly got respectable.

Oh, and DJ Reed is like a beast all of the sudden. Gotta say, I scratched my head a bit when we released him. Not that he's all that great - a lot of the time he was just around the ball after it was caught - but he's got to be better than some of the scrubs we've trotted out there this year.

His 40 time is, he can’t be caught:

I like Deebo, but I'm much rather have Brown. He'd be awesome in our system. Hell, he'd be awesome in any system.

Looks like the Seahawks have really come down to earth after starting 5-0. Defense is swiss cheese and RW went from MVP contender and top ranked QB to not MVP and looking pretty average

Actually the defense has played better recently. Dunlap and the return of Adams seem to have helped their pass rush and they're not giving up huge yardage.

They're always dangerous because Metcalf is a threat to take it all the way or make big jump ball plays.

But those 50-50 balls that they like to try are just not that consistent. On the 4th and 18 play vs. the Giants, looked like Lockett was open for first down on the dig but Wilson just threw it up.
