BEST DEFENSE IN 08

[Cornelius B Burton Sr Ravens90]

You already know where i stand on this, i told yall this time last year where the best d in 07 was coming from. So maybe yall will listen to me this year, I know what it takes for a defense to be great and i believe that we(ravens) have all the intangibles to be great again and even better than last season. With the additions of a few key guys and more YOUNG talent the birds will fly high once again . And if i sound a lil bias,YOU GOT D@&N RIGHT I AM. B4 you post with some hateful bull, just take a second and be honest with yourself.

Bird gang, lets get it poppin!

;D Yo Batman, what up doe? Tell them bigg ole S.E.C. linemen you got over there we gettin ready for them 2.

[Nole Nation]

I heard one of Batman's biggest up front dropped 25 pounds and is about to get paid to play But I am supposed to keep quiet about it ;D

First props to my fellas known as the Ravens but the Force put a can of Whup assin on you all and we now have that defensive coach along with 6 of his best defensive players. Noles will be very tough this year on both sides of the ball. Should be some trash talking fools this year from all teams.

Yeah and the cowboys beat the giants in the regular season.

man if i come back to the ravens and play linebacker its a wrap

[Not]

Ravens had a decent "d", but no way can you think that you were the best when a team put up over 40pts on you. I hope you are getting ready because I saw you play, you need some work and alot of it. I thought as long as I needed before I posted this.

[ravenol]

ok so if we didnt then who did? we put 28 and 36 on the noles respectively last year, noles blasted the force by a shitload. and we played the force without our 2 all star corners. so once again if we dont then who go t the best d?

[Bulldung]

Thats Bulls h i t! You act like you guys had pro bowl corners out there. They would have got killed too. You putting up 26 and 38 on the Noles, Ok, what the h e l l does that have to do with "d"? You did good won a championship, sit back and enjoy it and stop beating your chest. When you go through a season without giving up 40+ pts to a team losing players, then talk. But for now

I was suprised a little when I sawy this but the Ravens did have the second ranked defense in the MCFL last season behind the now Defunct Cleveland Lions...

They were ranked fourth in both passing and Rushing defense, and third in total defense which tells me they did give up some yards, but now a lot of points.

When you have an offense like the Ravens (which is one of the most exlosive I have seen in some years) then your defense doesn't have to be good, but according to the numbers theirs is... although not the best it was up there in 07.

[Bird House]

We have the best D in the state in 07 and will hve the best D in semi pro in 08. Last yeat was the tip of the iceberg. Quote the Raven\--- good luck scoring.

[whatever]

Never let the facts get in the way of your opinion

[Optimus Prime]

I said it once and I'm going to say it again, 10pts or less a game, AND i'M BEING GENEROUS!

[BirdMan]

So I guess we will just have to give up no more than 9pts or less a game then OP
