James Jones was cut twice, and from the Raiders no less. It's just a matter of finding the right fit. He's only 27 so maybe he could use the added motivation to train harder. Can't just count him out. Especially with the ability he has/had

So what's the word on the guys we worked out? Did we sign one, or no?

As much as I've bashed this pick, I do hope he turns into a stud to prove me wrong

There should be no reason Brown should get more snaps than Givens or Ross other than being a blocker on run plays

Two really good ones coming out and we're in a position to grab one if we so choose

When? He was already given that opportunity. The only reason he was surviving was because of his special teams ability, but once he started fumbling he was cut. I said this earlier, a player doesn't deserve to see the field just because they play well on special teams. Especially not at cb. The coaching staff as seen enough of him that they would rather bring in a bum off the streets than to play him at cb, despite how bad our cbs have played.

Good special teams play doesn't translate to good cb play. He had his shot and failed. Speaks to his ability as a CB that we can lose cbs left and right and we'd rather sign one off the street than to play him

Why isn't Givens starting again?

Soooo why isn't givens starting?

Tough blow for steve. Does look like an Achilles injury. I got to vent a little. Why the heck are we still shotgun snapping in field goal range, with a center who clearly struggles with it. They all out blitzing when we go shotgun because they know the ball is floating.

Let's hope this happens. I think harbs is a pretty decent coach, but he might be too loyal. Heck, we'd still have mattison had he not taken the Michigan job

That's a good point. Why call the same play over and over to start games and halfs. Even the announcers had caught on, so it's no surprise the cards blew it up in the 2nd half

His grab in the 4th was huge, and if not for a great play (or underthrown ball) he would have had a td. Get him more snaps. Easily our most explosive wr right now outside of smith

First sign of a poor coach... placing all the blame on your players and never accepting responsibly

The silver lining is the team probably played it's best all year, and against one of the best teams in football. The Ross Fumble AND The Chris Johnson Run Were Pretty Much A microcosm of our season

The draft. Perriman has yet to pan out, and had we known what we had in Gilmore would we still draft williams? Use those first two picks on defense, get diggs in the 4th instead of waller and we a different ball club. That's what I (emphasis on I) would change.

So why not? Give ross, givens, and waller all the opportunity in the world. If they fail it still won't be as bad as relying on Marlon (no hands) brown

Love two watch Williams play. At least once a game he will put a lineman on skates. Vince wilfork type power

I think more than a few of us would be ok with the defense if they were at least generating turnovers, but I feel we've had one since the week one match up with the broncos. Defense really needs to step up. This would be the game to do it. Over matched by an opponent who on paper should dominate us. Defense gets a few turnovers and we could actually say something positive after the game. Of course, all this is wishful thinking

There were a few articles addressing it before the draft. They knew, but didn't think it would be a problem probably

Same goes for the people calling for Flacco's head. Do you not remember the likes of kyle Boller and company, and having to suffer through 3 and outs every possession. Or losing to the Colts 15-6 (with the defense not surrendering a point) in the 2007 playoffs?

Canty still plays on this team?

Well deserved

Injury history was how I worded it. Meaning his knee was been a chronic problem since he was younger which I'm sure they knew about

Since we talking draft; Ramsey, vh3, or nkemdiche would make me very excited
