Okay, so after realizing the Pistol offense ruined my offense, I've decided to try again with the Baltimore Ravens. So without further ado, lets begin!

I've decided to run the Holmgren West Coast, and the Phillip 3-4. Both work well with my style of play. -
Re: Bringing Back the Best Defense:A Ravens Dynasty
18 Day Count Down:
I opt to not franchise tag anyone.
Free Agency:
HB Ryan Moats (80);Will be my starter
Trades:
Traded for MLB Patrick Willis, gave up DT Kelly Gregg (80), a 2008 6th round pick, and a 2009 2nd round pick; MLB Bart Scott (86) will be moved to LOLB, Patrick Willis will be my number 2 MLB
Traded for CB Antonio Cromartie, gave up SS Dawan Landry (86) and a 2009 4th round pick;Cromartie will be my 2nd CB for the time being
Traded for QB Kevin Kolb for a 5th round pick (156);Will be my starter.
I think I made a few good trades, and obviously didn't break the bank. All that's left to do is the draft.
Up Next:The Draft!Comment

I also would have kept SS Dawan Landry.

Re: Bringing Back the Best Defense:A Ravens Dynasty
Ray Lewis. I run a 3-4 so I need 2 MLB. Also, the reason I traded Dawan Landry is because it was either that or giving up a first round pick or two second rounders.

Re: Bringing Back the Best Defense:A Ravens Dynasty
The Draft!
3rd Overall- ROLB Keith Rivers
Okay, seeing that I can could fill the holes on my team in later rounds in the draft, I decided to perfect my LB core. I had to give up TE Todd Heap, a 7th round pick, and my 8th overall pick. Yes, it was a bit pricey, but I think it will be worth it.
38th Overall-
Not seeing anyone I'm overly interesting in traded down. I received an 3rd round (78) pick, and a 2009 2nd round pick from the Saints.
78th Overall-
Earl Bennett was taken before me, and I needed a few more picks, so I traded down. I received a two fourth round picks(105 and 118) and, a 5th round (143).
105th Overall- WR Mario Manningham
I needed some support in the passing game and Manningham is really good.
107 Overall-SS Craig Steltz
I Didn't have a SS so this was an obvious pick.
118 Overall-
Traded down. Got a 5th round(169)pick, and a 2009 7th round pick.
139 Overall-DT Athya Rubin
Beast.
143 Overall-FB Carl Stewart
I like to run the ball with the FB sometimes, an Stewart has a 90+ in speed.
200 Overall pick-Tony Bake
My LE is getting old, and Tony Bake will be a decent backup.
Undrafted Rookies
HB Chauncey Washington
C Dale Lankford
ROLB Geno Hayes
SS Caleb Campbell
Afterthoughts:
A good Draft. We filled almost all our needs, and in my opinion have created the best defense in the NFL.

Re: Bringing Back the Best Defense:A Ravens Dynasty
Preseason Game 1
Baltimore @ New England
The first half was pretty bad, but we came back in the second half.
The First Quarter was ours.We drive down the field and pound it in with a 12 yard run from Moats 7-0.
The Second Quarter was pretty bad. We force a 4th down and they punt. We get a 4th and 2. Thinking it would be easy I go for it and call a simple pitch play. He has a wide open hole for the first... then he cuts inside. Guess what happens. The patriots get the ball back and Tom Brady does what he does and scores on a 36 yard pass. We get the ball back, but our offense is ineffective and we punt. They drive down to our goal line then... Mcallister intercepts! But sadly the effort is wasted because or offense is horrible. We punt. They effortlessly drive down the field, and Tom Brady hits Welker for a 21 yard touchdown.
Things were looking bad for me. Our defense was out of sync, and our offense was crap. Little did I know things were about to much, much better.
Up Next, The Second Half!

Re: Bringing Back the Best Defense:A Ravens Dynasty
Okay, I've written this post twice and they both got deleted. So, since it's only a preseason game and I want to move on I'm not going to do a writeup on the rest of the game.
BAL 21
PAT 14
Scoring
4th Quarter
K. Kolb pass to Givens for a 17 yard touchdown
K. Kolb pass to Givens for a 15 yard touchdown
Also on the account of Mason being cut, he's getting older and can save me about 2-3 M. I needed cash plus I have Manningham.Comment

Re: Bringing Back the Best Defense:A Ravens Dynasty
...I probably should have posted this much sooner, but that's beside the point. A friend of mine was showing me a demo, but there wasn't enough space. I told him to just delete some old files and left the room. A few days later I put Head Coach in and needless to say all my files were gone. The demo wasn't that good either.
