Aiken Highlights
This is from the news feed thread.... this kid can maybe be the "Reggie" role?

With that visor, his body type, and the way he fights through defenders for the catch he reminds me a little of Anquan Boldin. Not saying he will be that good ever. I am wondering why the Ravens let him go, seems to be a good receiver.

Ravens fans were definitely likening him to Boldin in 2015. Though how much is just the same thing as Colts fans likening any white WR to Brandon Stokley, who knows.

Regardless, he's a more physical receiver than anything else the Colts have. Plus, he can fill a role on special teams. Nice get.

Man, T.Y. already brings his "A" games every season.
I really hope the competitive juices get Aiken, Moncrief, Dorsett and Rogers to bring their "A" games as well. We need more production out of all the WRs after Hilton. 2016: 91 receptions = T.Y. Hilton, WR 59 receptions = Jack Doyle, TE 38 receptions = Frank Gore, RB 35 receptions = Dwayne Allen, TE 33 receptions = Phillip Dorsett, WR 30 receptions = Donte Moncrief You cannot have only one of your top 4 pass catchers be a WR. That is allowing opposing defenses to tighten up nearer to the LoS and choke everything off. Your WRs have got to be better. I really love this signing. Cheers,

I trust TY to play at a high level. Nothing left for him to prove at this point.
I liked the way Rogers played last season and want to see him get more opportunities. I like what this new guy brings in terms of physical toughness, willing attitude, competitiveness. We haven't had a physical, productive receiver since Garcon. I haven't written Moncrief off at all. He played well in 2015 and played injured in 2016. The only one I don't expect anything from is Dorsett. Hopefully he will surprise but he doesn't play that fast, his routes are limited and sloppy, and he drops balls. Seems like the pieces are in place to push him off the roster altogether. Last edited by FatDT; 03-22-2017 at 02:36 PM. |

having read through the ravens boards on the guy, they seem to think he was a good receiver that stepped up in a big way when everyone else was injured a few years back, but they weren't real happy with a comment he made about not getting play time after this last season

117 = Mike Wallace 103 = Steve Smith Jr 066 = Breshad Perriman 050 = Kamar Aiken BAL 2015 WR targets: 127 = Kamar Aiken 073 = Steve Smith Jr 043 = Jeremy Butler Yeah, dropping from 127 targets (7.94 per game) to 50 (3.13 per game) would indeed be a hard pill to sallow. Competitors want to compete. Someone who felt like they "broke out" in their 2nd year of Active Roster activity would be disappointed to be dropped back to "depth" status the following season. Hopefully, he can get a lot of targets here because we are in desperate need of better production from our WR2 and WR3 positions. Cheers,

The criticism of Aiken was that he only made plays when he was the only guy (others were injured). When the rest of their receivers were healthy, he would disappear.
I'm not really sure what that means, but that's what I've seen Ravens fans saying on Reddit |
