Jared Banner wants to bring a little Windy City defense to Birdland… 🧤

@SteveOnBaseball highlights Banner’s goal of having “a good defender on the field at every position” as the Orioles rethink their roster.

[Birdland Territory @BirdlandTerr]

From second base to center stage for Jackson Holliday? 🎭

@SteveOnBaseball believes Holliday has the tools to handle center field, with Brad Brach seeing shades of Jackson Merrill’s position switch.

[105.7 The Fan @1057TheFan]

The Ravens need to take more chances on the backend.

@Obefemi30, @TimBarbalace, and @KenWeinmanSport discuss how playing conservatively hasn't slowed down opposing QB's and if they're going to get beat, it'd benefit them to take a chance at being too aggressive.

[105.7 The Fan @1057TheFan]

The Ravens have one of the highest-paid defenses in the NFL, but the results haven't matched the investment so far this season.

@TimBarbalace, @Obafemi30, and @KenWeinmanSport discuss the lack of production and why the defense needs to start playing up to its price tag.

[105.7 The Fan @1057TheFan]

Where should the Ravens expect to see the biggest improvements with Jacoby Brissett at quarterback?

@Obafemi30, @TimBarbalace, and @KenWeinmanSport discuss what should change offensively and where Brissett gives them a boost.

[105.7 The Fan @1057TheFan]

Why wouldn't the Ravens have put Jake Moody on their 53-man roster?

@Obafemi30, @KenWeinmanSport, and @TimBarbalace debate the Ravens decision to keep him on the practice squad, allowing the Falcons to sign him off their practice squad.

[ThreeDeep1057 @ThreeDeep1057]

We are halfway through the NFL's regular season so now is a good time to look back. We'll start with the offense. Who has exceeded expectations? Who has fallen short? What changes do we want to see offensively? @peter_king at 3p, @JonMeoli at 3:30p and @HBalzer721 at 5!

[Jeff Zrebiec @jeffzrebiec]

@nikknowsball I didn't say that. You could have put him on the 53 last week before the Falcons had any interest. And this situation doesn't arise. They, however, clearly wanted to maintain some roster flexibility and this is a ramification of that.

[Birdland Territory @BirdlandTerr]

Gunnar Henderson’s comeback tour is loading... ⏳

Brad Brach believes “it’s only a matter of time” before Baltimore’s shortstop rediscovers his All-Star offensive form.

[Birdland Territory @BirdlandTerr]

Don’t bank on a Trevor Rogers hometown discount... 💰

@SteveOnBaseball sees “almost no way” Rogers accepts Baltimore’s qualifying offer, with a potential nine figure payday awaiting him in free agency.

[Birdland Territory @BirdlandTerr]

The crew makes it clear… KEEP GUNNAR IN CAMDEN! 🏟️

@TimBarbalace isn’t entertaining a trade after Gunnar’s worst season, arguing Baltimore would be selling far below his potential MVP-level value.

[Steve Melewski @Steveonbaseball]

Today via a new @BirdlandTerr we ponder a few questions.

Should the O's have any untouchables, will Enrique Bradfield Jr. make the 40-man and can the O's count on either Helsley or Bautista for the 9th. Among other questions addressed as well ----

[Tim Barbalace @TimBarbalace]

Our latest @BirdlandTerr is out! We kick around several topics and say whether they are true or false including who is really untouchable on the roster, the team's closer situation and if Gunnar Henderson will bounce back in 2027. @Steveonbaseball. https://t.co/zV5JdIW9Ju

[105.7 The Fan @1057TheFan]

After being dominated by three of the AFC's best teams, have the Ravens officially hit rock bottom?

@TimBarbalace, @Obafemi30, and @KenWeinmanSport discuss Baltimore's alarming struggles and whether there's any positive way forward.

[105.7 The Fan @1057TheFan]

After dominating under the lights for more than a decade, the Ravens have struggled to find the same success in primetime games at home.

@TimBarbalace, @KenWeinmanSport, and @Obafemi30 discuss Baltimore's recent struggles and what has changed for this team.

[Tim Barbalace @TimBarbalace]

The falloff at home for the Ravens has been so jarring to see. They are 3-9 and have been outscored 322-220 over their last 12 home games. They went 22-3 in home primetime games from 2008-2024. They have lost their last four straight primetime games since 2025.

[Birdland Territory @BirdlandTerr]

Baltimore’s new GM has some serious hardware in mind for Gunnar Henderson… 🏆

After seeing Pete Crow-Armstrong reach superstar heights in Chicago, Jared Banner wants to make Gunnar “the MVP of the league and a World Series champion.”

[Birdland Territory @BirdlandTerr]

Jared Banner didn’t come to Baltimore to be a yes man... 💪

The Orioles’ new GM tells @SteveOnBaseball he wants to bring “a little healthy tension” to Baltimore’s front office.
