Consiglio a tutti i tifosi dei Ravens di vedere sul sito ufficialie il film della stagione 2006, dal titolo Defenders of the North. E' diviso in tre parti e dura circa 30 minuti. Fatto molto bene secondo me, con telecronaca originale. Molte immagini anche dagli spogliatoi e dalla sideline.

Portiamo in alto sto topic....diverse news...!! :gogogo:

Parliamo di firme del draft 2007 e di pick aggiuntive grazie al supplemental draft:

-Marshal Yanda, terza scelta dei Ravens al draft, ha firmato un contratto di tre anni. Le impressioni che ha lasciato al mini-camp sono state positive agli occhi di tutti!
Queste le parole di Eric De Cosa:
“I think he’ll fit in very well with his teammates on the offensive line and on offense. He brings a real presence and attitude, and I think that’s really going to help the team.”

-Antwan Barnes, quarta scelta dei Ravens al draft 2007, ha firmato un contratto di tre anni. La stessa soluzione adottata per Yanda quindi.

-I Ravens scelgono inoltre, grazie al Supplemental Draft 2007, Jared Gaither da Maryland. Questo conferma ulteriormente l'intenzione a Baltimore di voler rifondare la linea d'attacco. Sono tre infatti le scelte per questo ruolo (Grubbs - Yanda - Gaither).

Grazie Matz, bellissimi video  :applauso:.

Riguardo il supplementar draft, avevo letto qualcosa, di un analista di espn che sosteneva che Gaither sarà l'erede di Ogden  :penso:

Ho letto diverse buone cose su di lui....ora non so se diventerà proprio l'erede di Ogden, però è sicuramente un buon colpo....c'è da dire che la nostra linea subirà (magari non in questa ma nella prossima stagione) un ringiovanimeto non indifferente.....a quando la difesa??

Che sia un buon colpo ve lo auguro perche' mi siete simpatici (salvo il 21 ottobre  :naughty: ). Peraltro il pick di Baltimore era stato ampiamente previsto, dopo il buon pro day di Gaither. Ci sono i soliti character issues secondo alcuni scouts, ma ho come l'impressione che nello spogliatoio di Baltimore trovera' chi lo mette in riga.

Interessante articolo sulla "rivalità" (benigna s'intende) dei WR dei Ravens.

http://www.baltimoreravens.com/Common/A ... x?id=13314

Ad inizio off-season sembrava che Mason potesse diventare addirittura il terzo ricevitore della squadra, dopo Clayton e Williams.
Ora il discorso si è ridimensionato e probabilmente sarà ancora lui il bersaglio preferito di Mcnair, ma non so quanto possa durare, visto che lo scorso anno ha faticato e non poco, per segnare anche solo un TD.


Cambiando argomento, ESPN ci posiziona primi nelle classifiche relative alla miglior difesa. Sia per le secondarie che per i linemen.

Ecco il commento per la linea:

The Ravens' front four is impressive with Trevor Pryce and Terrell Suggs anchoring the end position and consistently pressuring the quarterback. Pryce is on the downside of his career, but he had one of his best seasons in 2006 with 13 sacks. Declining skills and backs problems are a concern for Pryce in the future. Suggs has averaged 10 sacks per season over his career and has 16 pass deflections in four seasons. The defensive tackle position is anchored by seven-year veteran Kelly Gregg and second-year player Haloti Ngata. Gregg is a short, powerful player with an impressive motor and Ngata is a huge body that anchors the middle with strength and short-area effectiveness. Backup Kenny King adds solid depth to the defensive line. The Ravens' defensive linemen have had the benefit of outstanding personnel around them, but their talent and effectiveness should not be underestimated.


E quello per i DB:

Under coordinator Rex Ryan, the Baltimore Ravens have one of the most aggressive defensive schemes in the NFL, which places a lot of pressure on the secondary. FS Ed Reed is one of the best safeties in the NFL, while CB Chris McAlister continues to play at a Pro Bowl level. Reed is a versatile player who can play a lot of different roles in the Ravens' coverage schemes. McAlister is a big, physical player who gives the Ravens a premier shutdown corner. He has the responsibility of matching up on a week-to-week basis with the opponent's No.1 receiver. Second-year SS Dawan Landry was a pleasant surprise last season, finishing the season tied for second on the team with five interceptions. CB Samari Rolle is an experienced player whose overall performance has fallen off the past few seasons.

I Ravens firmano altre tre scelte del draft, e precisamente Yamon Figurs, Prescott Burgess e soprattutto Troy Smith.
Per ognuno contratto di tre anni.

Firmato per tre anni anche Jared Gaither, l'OL scelto grazie al supplemental draft.

A questo punto restano da firmanre Ben Grubbs, prima scelta; Le'Ron McClain, quarta scelta.

Brutte notizie per Ogden che finisce nella physically-unable-to-perform (PUP) list per quello che riguarda il training camp. Ottimismo sulla sua presenza ad inizio stagione.

E finalmente arriva anche la filrma per la nostra prima scelta. A differenza delle altre pick (contratti di tre anni), BEN GRUBBS viene firmato per 5 anni, contratto da 11$ milioni.

ESPN è il primo sito a dare la notizia (e anche l'unico fino ad ora). Quindi ecco il link:

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2950586


A questo punto resta da firmare soltanto la quarta scelta, il fullback Le'Ron McClain.
