Sounds like the guy really knows what he's doing in coverage.

Robertson&#8217;s interception of Flacco was the first in the red zone for the Ravens&#8217; signal-caller since Dec. 7, 2009 at the Green Bay Packers. He had not thrown a red zone interception in 125 consecutive pass attempts.
&#8220;We had a great call called. I did my job and the ball came right to me,&#8221; Robertson said. &#8220;I saw Jones came in on a slant, so I knew something was coming on the outside. The ball was thrown and a guy told me the other day that Flacco hasn&#8217;t thrown a red zone interception in three years, so it&#8217;s kind of cool to say I picked him off in the red zone, but that&#8217;s kind of how it played out.&#8221;

Robertson makes early impression

I'm totally convinced were a 3-4 full time defense with all the lb acquisitions and would not surprise me to trade back with LA or Det and take Billings. Maybe even trade back in the lower first if Spence is there. Then hope Butler falls and we made a decent deal with next years 1st.

Deion Jones would be great but I think we will run out of assets to acquire him.

At least he looks like a player.

 

[ASaintFerLife]

He looks healthy based on games played, thats good.

Opposed to what?

Some of the best looking guys, body type wise, can't tackle a pee wee league RB, WR. Expound please.

I was mainly just talking about the visor. If a guy has a visor on then I just assume he's a player.

He's a Vilma clone IMO.

Wait I thought so many people we mad at Loomis because we couldn't sign anybody with our cap hell? So we sign Fleener then you have a bunch freak out that FA is over and we can't even sign a minimum deal because we need the rookie pool. Never mind then we sign Laurenitis and now we're really done. NFL is probably going to cancel the contract cause we have no $.. Oh now Loomis signs Robertsen so now what? Now we really must be done right? All those negative Nancy's wanna admit they were wrong just like every single year with people telling you the same thing?!

I think I saw a LB touch the ball are they allowed to do that?

We had a long drought, but Anthony gave us water, a couple times last year...and touched it even more.

Kikaha also did this thing where when a player is running with the ball, he pulls it out of their hands. I don't know if that's legal either but we got away with it.

Wow, quite an interesting concept. What a genius idea!
