@AdamSchefter: Making it official, Ravens HC John Harbaugh announced TE Dennis Pitta is out for the year.
Pitta
- Thread starter BobbyBlueChip
- Start date
Next up. :0008
A couple hours into training camp, out for the year, full pay.
Sign me up. :toast:
This whole Flacco thing is pretty funny, ain't it?
:0074
Steve Bisciotti and Ozzie Newsome are a couple of idiots.
Haters. :0008
oddly enough,vissante shiancoe(spelling?) was on the sideleines with harbaugh when the injury happened...looks like they`ll sign the old dog.....
this magnifies a weakness that the ravens didn`t address in the preseason....possession receivers......third down converters....
we didn`t draft a wideout until the 7th round(mellette) and the boldin vacuum is turning into a black hole....
i don`t agree with other raven fans that the replacement for boldin will come from one of the benchjockeys already on the roster...
this comes at a real inopportune time(flacco looking like he "may" firmly step into the elite qb class...if not after such a great postseason run,when?)
we had so many draft choices....i understand that we had defensive holes to fill....but,our defense was relatively weak last year(by raven standards) and flacco`s fantastic postseason basically negated our defensive liabilities.....
i really wanted them to give joe(now at the top of his game..confidence soaring)every possible opportunity to really shine this year.....was hoping they`s snag a stedman bailey or a quinton patton(or both) to try and fill the boldin void...they could have been had in the 3rd or 4th with a little creative wheeling and dealing(i believe `frisco grabbed patton in the 4th right before we picked)............
worried that the offense will take a step back and mess with flacco`s positive mojo.....hopefully jim caldwell continues to be able to be an offensive miracle worker.....
really liked this team in spite of our wide receiver problem.....now i`m very worried...more about flacco regressing due to a lack of weapons or a potential shift in offensive philosophy due to the lack of offensive weapons.....every big time qb needs his go-to guy.....security blanket....torrey smith isn`t wired to be that guy...he`s basically a deep threat.....
gonna be an interesting training camp....gonna keep my eyes peeled for the progress of rookie wideouts we "might" have taken a shot at had the front office felt as i do...
maybe i`m wrong...hard to second guess ozzie....

Yea, you're just being negative as usual. no prob dude, I am overly optimistic. :toast:
i like how we filled so many holes...and i understand that theres only so much you can do when you lose so many starters...but after signing joe to that contract i was hoping we`d shift to a more offensive philosophy(feel like the league is more of an offensively dominated league with all the rule changes in favor of offense)....
i wanted flacco to have more weapons than he really even needed...i wanted to see us really start to open up...we have a big, strong,durable,rifle-armed qb coming off one of the best postseasons any qb has ever had....give him plenty of toys.....
i was hoping they`d go all in to try and make joe the centerpiece and utilize caldwell to the fullest...
still might happen....we`ll miss pitta...i think he was very underrated...

an honest evaluation by a source close to the situation..
a breath of fresh air..
The more I read about this the more I tend to agree with you. This is not good at all. Maybe Ozzie will pull a rabbit out of his hat.
one thing nobody`s mentioning is this kid kyle juszczyk from harvard....they spent a 4th rounder on this guy and he had a solid season as a tight end/h-back last year.....
they must like the guy to spend a 4th on him with a big hole at wide receiver....
might surprise us,jack....http://articles.baltimoresun.com/20...k-20130427_1_dennis-pitta-ed-dickson-ray-rice
