89 Conference Call

[teeray]

Steve Smith has so many targets because defenses are focusing on the other better receivers.

[CRA]

there is no evidence of that at this point so no agreement.In fact our distribution looks almost Identical to the ravens .

Kelvin - 16 receptions

all other WRs - 25 receptions

89 - 18 receptions

all others WRs - 14

our distribution is nothing alike among WRs. How do you spin that as near identical?

Bonus stats

Panthers completing 68% when targeting WRs

Ravens completing 49% when targeting WRs

Pretty easy to see why the team with the lopsided distribution isn't as successful.

distribution is distribution it doesn't matter if it is wr, rb, te. They have a balanced distribution record. just as we have a balanced distribution record.We have the same amount of receptions. the 49% just shows why they throw to TE and rb also. that is there game.

Not worth the time....so can we just agree there isn't a team in the NFL that has a more lopsided distribution of balls between their WRs then?

Pitta is a TE. He plays a different game. Different looks, coverage and guys he has to beat. TE in their O is suppose to get balls. All balls to WRs shouldn't go to one. hope they do Sunday and I hope that remains 89.

 

"shouldn't" , means nothing but your own personal issue. it is not a real issue with the Ravens nor would it be with any other team. It is some imagined problem that goes no further than your imagination.

You mean the QB who has only completed 6 passes to Torrey Smith? Talk is talk.

do you even watch ravens games??? Torrey hasn't showed up plain an simple, flacco isn't forcing the ball to SS,Torrey is by not getting open and dropping passes......how are you forcing the ball to someone who's open??????????? I never understand this if YOU ARE FORCING THE BALL TO A RECEIVER NFL DEFENSES WILL PICK YOU A PART!

And this smith ran to the media thing is ridiculous.......the same smith who ran to the media when jake was imploding and causing us the playoffs year in and out? Not a peep out of him in 2010 easily his worst year as a panther?

Teams are focusing on Torrey because he is bigger threat.

[Cpt slay a ho]

Teams are focusing Torrey because he is bigger threat.

no question but saying flacco is forcing the ball is ridiculous I don't think he has a choice

[heel31ok]

Teams are focusing on Torrey because he is bigger threat.

 

if so then it would be forcing it to T Smith and that is what you are arguing against.

I have watched them. First two games. 89 has been dropping balls just as much as Torrey

And 89 did run to the media to whine in 2012. Well documented. It didn't create many media stories and added heat to his QB

As far as 2010. 89 pretty much quit on Clausen.

As far as the Jake implosion. 89 loved Jake. That was his guy. So no, he wasn't an issue with 17

While I usually love Smitty's level of crazy, I think someone should at least ask him to make sure his "blood and guts" comment was hyperbole.

You're pressing and stretching.

Seems like a sensible discussion to me

[teeray]

I don't miss the 4 drops 89 had in the Ravens first game. Glad we finally have some receivers who can catch the ball

Uhhhh....KB has let a few get away.  You guys need to stop emphasizing Smith's drops.
