Buzz - Joe Flacco planning to chill with receivers and hope they catch some stuff before camp

4/18/2018

Picture

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joseph Flacco is planning to get together with his wide receivers (all one of them) and throw the good ol' pigskin around before training camp starts. This is unusual for Joe, as he usually waits until OTAs and training camp to start throwing with his receivers. Maybe now that he has an actual NFL-caliber receiver this season (Michael Crabtree) other than the scrubs that he's used to, Flacco is willing to put a little extra effort in. 

As with any group of adults, it's hard to get everyone in one place at one time. How many times have you tried to get all of your friends together? Everyone has their lives going on (Flacco just had his fifth kid, Breshad Perriman is probably dropping his car keys through the floor boards, etc), so the timing of these workouts can be tricky as not everyone stays in Baltimore during the offseason. But as the Ravens haven't been able to make it to the playoffs in what feels like 20 years, Flacco should be pulling out all the stops and making every effort he can to build those relationships with the guys who he's throwing the ball to, who may or may not end up catching it.

Buzz-worthy-

  • Dez Bryant said he wanted to play Dallas twice a year, and the team where he's most interested in doing that is in New York. He raved about the team, and added that, "you get to wear nice winter coats on the streets of New York there." Good point.
  • Browns coach Hue Jackson confirmed that Tyrod Taylor will start at quarterback, and whoever they unfortunately choose in the draft will sit. Good news for the Baltimore "start Tyrod" crowd.
  • Panthers tight end Greg Olsen wants (another) contract before the season starts. This is becoming an annual thing
  • Carson Wentz has started running. I repeat, he has started running. After tearing his knee up in December, it was uncertain whether or not Wentz would be ready before the beginning of the 2018 season. With some time left to go, it's still unknown whether or not he'll be available on NFL Opening Night. 
  • Eric Weddle says he's reached out to Dez Bryant. While Baltimore definitely does have interest, there's still an uncertainty if the interest is mutual. 
  • The Bucs are picking up Jameis Winston's option, giving him at least another year with Tampa Bay. The contract will give him almost $21 million in 2019, and is guaranteed in case of injury. That's a lot of crab legs.
  • Aaron Rodgers is getting whiny with the Green Bay Packers. He's apparently 'frustrated' that he's being left out of personnel meetings, and wasn't consulted when it came to big decisions within the team, such as letting wide receiver Jordy Nelson walk. Is that like a thing? Do they normally consult with QBs about that stuff if your name isn't Tom Brady?
  • Nick Mangold announced his retirement on Tuesday, also noting that he'll sign a one-day deal with the New York Jets and retire there.
  • "I expect us to be the best duo in the NFL." - DeAndre Hopkins on himself and Deshaun Watson. K
  • The NFL will announce the regular season schedule on Thursday at 8pm with, of course, a 2 hour special on NFL Network with hard-hitting analysis sure to get everyone in the debating mood. Fast forward to the year 2045 when the NFL schedule is announced game by game in an exhilarating 48 hour special on NFL Network!
