Donald Holman

@Hamilton_DPOY @jeffzrebiec Monken was hired by Harbs, not EDC. New HC almost always gets to pick his own staff.

@jeffzrebiec Was he fired? Did I miss something?

As usual, Todd Monken points finger at himself first. Can’t imagine he’ll be waiting too long for his next job.

@Destiny2Team I just did a Salt Mine run within 20secs of my 3.236m run. Maxed out on the modifiers and the score prediction was the same as before. Got the bonus and the HVT as before but my score ended up as 2.339m on completion. Uhhhhh ... what?

Welcome to the second week of Call to Arms! 💪 Based on your feedback, we've deployed the following changes to the event: 📈 Score thresholds for all activities have been adjusted (numbers abbreviated for readability). 💠 Salt Mines: Top 1%: 3.371M / Top 10%: 2.405M 💠 Crucible: Top 1%: 13518 / Top 10%: 12327 💠The Coil: Top 1%: 2.910M / Top 10%: 2.431M 💠Heliostat: Top 1%: 2.912M / Top 10%: 2.448M 💠Proving Grounds: Top 1%: 2.972M, Top 10%: 2.437M 📈 Score thresholds below Top 10% have also been adjusted to further open up eligibility for the shader and transmat rewards. 🖼️ The PvE changes are designed to protect the challenge of claiming the event's top emblem reward but we also feel it's necessary to address the 550 Power players that have been adversely affected by lower score bugs introduced alongside our Power equalization changes. ⚔️ The PvP change is designed to address the several reports we're seeing of players coming in just a few points short after completing very high scoring games. We want to open this pool up slightly to encompass these players. 🔒 To prevent further impact of the Power changes, the Call to Arms score thresholds have now been locked. 🔒 We're also planning to deploy a live update that introduces the following Call to Arms changes: 🐲 Decreased the cost of Tier 1 revive tokens and upgrades from Riven at the start of The Coil activity. ➡️ Tier 1 Revive Tokens: changed to 25 Wishing Glass (previously 100). ➡️ Other Tier 1 Dragon's Wish Upgrades: changed to 50 Wishing Glass (previously 100). ➡️ Tier 2 and 3 upgrades and revive tokens will remain unchanged. 🎁 Expanded the interact radius of the Daily Shipment chest to address reports that its interface isn't showing. We unfortunately can't address the following issues in time for this event: 💠 The team has been exploring how to address the impact of High Value Target spawns in the Salt Mines activity. We plan to factor them in for consistent scoring in future Call to Arms events. 💠 The Call to Arms tooltips indicate the incorrect number of Competitor Points required to earn the "Next Percentile" for Above Average, Top 30%, and Top 10%. The correct values are 5, 10, and 50 Points respectively. We appreciate your continued feedback and patience with this first Call to Arms and will apply these changes to future events.

@Dclassics83 @jeffzrebiec In actual games under game pressure. My concern is this is OTAs. Not panicking, but concerned. Overall FG% was under 80 and he was 8-13 at 50+ (~61%) last 2 years in college. On long misses, had people say "but those were 50+" like they're unaware how the Ravens used Tucker.

@jeffzrebiec People on here already forgetting Tuck’s struggles from 50 plus.

Ravens OTA concluded. WRs Malik Cunningham, Dayton Wade and Jahmal Banks made bunch of receptions. Rookie Tyler Loop was 5-for-9 on FG attempts. All 4 misses, which included 3 straight, were 50 plus.

@joemac484 @DisturbedHawk12 @CorbinSmithNFL Trent made a lot of mistakes. He had a 12:11 TD:Int ratio in 8 starts in reg season. He dialed it down in playoffs (3:1) but until I heard the mic'd up YEARS later I had no idea how much Dilfer was going off-script that season. Had Billick ticked on the sideline.

@DisturbedHawk12 @CorbinSmithNFL Dilfer didn’t make the simple mistakes. He didn’t try and play hero ball.

@DisturbedHawk12 @joemac484 @CorbinSmithNFL As a Ravens fan I appreciate him, but Dilfer had the 2000 Defense that only gave up 10pts/gm reg season / 6pts/gm in POs. He's never good for this type of convo. Living in SEA, not surprised about Geno but am that they did it without having his replacement already. Little risky.

@joemac484 @CorbinSmithNFL Man, dilfer won a Superbowl. Geno surely can

@HushHushRecords Gonna go through, give 'em a listen and see what I missed/didn't know existed. Still listening to records I picked up from HHR last month, but soon. Hoping the new year is good to you.

@MarvinYNWA @BSO I been looking for the people who were giving me crap, laughing and talking about him being washed before the season. For some reason, they've all vanished from the face of the Earth. Weird.

@BSO They said he was washed when we first signed him

They act like Lamar just got good when Henry got there or Henry himself hasn’t been in the league for 10 years and was just cut and no one even want to give him a deal. 11 RBs make more money than Derrick Henry

@IamQadryIsmail Not sure what world he lives in. I've seen the Ravens try to play without Lamar Jackson. I don't want to see that again.

Dudes be sayin the dumbest things...

@KVN_03 Already been getting my vote. Let's go! 😤

LFG!!! Fans can we vote for your boy in!!! tinyurl.com/Vannoyprobowl

@derekchichi @losches04 @sgellison The man has been there 4 wks. He was brought in as a depth/insurance piece. He was called on in that capacity & he refused to do HIS job; not someone else's. No, I said "I don't like how they use him". Math is fine. Whatever intellectual arg you think you're making, you're not.

@DMHolmanWA @losches04 @sgellison Everyone sounds like the model employee the day they are offered a job; EVEN YOU. You eventually start to call in sick, say no when you're asked to stay late or cover someone else's shift. You don't like what the team did but he's 100% wrong? The math isn't adding up bro.

Re: Diontae Johnson 1) It’s understandable for Johnson to be frustrated with being underutilized since his trade. He’s more talented than WR5. 2) It’s not understandable for Johnson to let frustration boil to the point of refusing to play when called upon by his team in the heat of battle. Lamar and the offense could’ve used him. 3) I don’t know if Johnson was trying to punish coaches for not involving him more sooner, but in the end, he hurt himself, messing with his own playing time and money in a contract year. 4) Unfortunately, this will continue to backfire on him during the bye, which would’ve been the perfect time to get better integrated into the offense, especially with Rashod Bateman nursing a sore knee. Eagles and Giants games will be wasted opportunities. 5) Despite everything, he wasn’t cut, and it would honestly benefit both sides to put this behind them and move forward together … if they can. 6) It would benefit Baltimore because Johnson is super talented and great insurance for WRs 1&2. Plus, that comp pick would be nice. 7) It would benefit Johnson before free agency to show he can work well with a franchise after tough endings in Pittsburgh and Carolina. When GMs have to put money behind their moves this offseason, they might be more leery of Johnson if he ends on a sour note with a third franchise. 8) If Johnson does stick around, he’s gotta deliver on the opportunities he’s given. In the few game targets he’s gotten, he’s not played super well. He needs to make it his mission to develop chemistry with Lamar. 9) If Johnson still wants to go, let him go. As Mike Tomlin said, “we want volunteers; not hostages.” EDC has traded other players when requested. He’d do it again. 10) Shoutout to Nelson Agholor and Tylan Wallace. They’re caught in the middle of all this, and have done nothing but work. It doesn’t go unnoticed.

@derekchichi @losches04 @sgellison Playing football is a job, period. He is being paid well to do that job. If he didn't like the role he was being traded into, he had an out. He didn't take it & literally said he was there for any role they needed him for. I don't like how they use him, but he was 100% wrong.

@DMHolmanWA @losches04 @sgellison Why are you all obsessed with these players' pay? The money you're making is often more of a reflection of the your market value than a mark of respect. That said Johnson is more concerned with his personal situation than team goals, not unlike everyone else including the Coach.

@derekchichi @losches04 @sgellison As chattel? Man is making over $9mil to play this year. He was brought here as a depth/insurance piece. Bateman went down and he was called on and refused to play because he got into his feelings. If the role didn't suit him, then he should've refused to report out the gate.

@losches04 @sgellison You see these players as chattel I see them as humans. We really can't get on common ground here. Deuces, Kyle.

@ryanripkenshow Gimmicky nonsense.

I don't like this.

@Demonxsukuna This anime has some of the craziest scenes and this might be #1. I love it!

This has to be one of the biggest rivalries and best animated fights in anime

@PohlAdam @MiLB @BaysoxOfficial @Orioles @OsPlayerDev @JakeDRill @bensbiz Saw it in the store! Gonna get a few weird looks over here in WA State, but I gotta rep my home state. 🤣

@DMHolmanWA @MiLB @BaysoxOfficial @Orioles @OsPlayerDev @JakeDRill @bensbiz It is!

"It was intentionally designed to include the things that relate to this region -- the Bay-inspired waves, the audacious crab, the bat." In a new era as the Cheasapeake Baysox, the #Orioles' Double-A club ambraces its local identity with vivid new logos: atmlb.com/4fVt322

@HoodieRamey That's mostly long gone. I miss the days of the forums on the Ravens website. Now most nfl fan sports discussion mirrors the crap sports media and their loud hot takes. In 6 weeks we've gone from "Trade MAndrews" to "Trade Tucker".

I wish there was more constructive discussion among Ravens fans. Wishful thinking.

@SorryForMyTake @HoodieRamey I see the strawman lives at your place. Fact you can't point to what you think he'd bring to the team tells me all I need to know. It ain't that deep. They hire him, they hire him. Don't, they don't. If you think tears will be shed over Douglas, you might need to unplug.

@DMHolmanWA @HoodieRamey You bring him back to do what made him a GM in the first place. Hire him as a scouting consultant. It’s not about adding him because the ravens are bad at anything. You’re so afraid of what he might say to EDC it’s laughable. Enjoy your nightmares tonight about AR being a Raven.

This would be interesting for the Ravens can’t lie.

@SorryForMyTake @HoodieRamey Don't care what his title is. Asking, what is it you think he brings to the Ravens. Lets try this. What do you think he did exceptionally in NY, that the Ravens don't, that you need him talking in EDC's ear & are willing to put him above or equal to others in the FO hierarchy.

@DMHolmanWA @HoodieRamey They can have him be whatever. They could literally just label him as “Football Consultant” - the Bucs did with Arians. It’s as if not coming up with a clear, cut, defined role for him somehow justifies your reasoning for not adding him to the FO. You’re a silly goose.

@SorryForMyTake @HoodieRamey And ... do ... what? Hang around and bring Eric donuts? What is it that he's bringing to the table? You have an entire hierarchy devoted to scouting, so you bringing him in at the top there with his voice in Eric's ear? It's the question I asked Ramey. "As what?"

@DMHolmanWA @HoodieRamey They can literally just label him an assistant to Eric DeCosta. They don’t have to replace anyone. You’re so dense.
