So was McPhee imo. I sure hope he stays, but I doubt it, and that's why they took his replacement in C. Davis 

McPhee was viewed as a sceme fit while Williams is viewed as an anchor.  Williams will take the place of ngata as a long standing linemen for the ravens.

What if it comes down to juice or pitta? Thats tough. Waller/ campanaro/ pitta are all questionable to me and I think juice is as safe as any of them personally.

It shouldn't being that juice is our only fb.  Don't think we will make the jump to a fb less team and giving juice versatility on top of that he has value overall. If it's a situation that pitta is looking to being a roster cut it means he's potentially 4th on the TE depth chart and he would then deserve to be cut. 

No still looking to be balanced.  We are looking at improving offensively but not while sacrificing defense

Michael Oher just signed a 3 year extension worth over $21m in new money, and averaging about $7.5m per year.

Not to keep the Monroe thing going - but i dont want to hear that releasing him was about money... bc you cant even get a Michael Oher for less... in fact he costs more. Not that we need a Monroe level player to feel comfortable with the back up, but i dont think id be overly comfortable if Oher was our backup... So, we know what we're looking at in the FA market for even a below average tackle, coming off a pretty forgettable year.

But the panthers view him as a starter.  We would be looking at Monroe as a back up.  So yes you can get a back up for less money than what oher  got.

Zrebiec does a great job summing up the whole 'saga' in his article...

What else needs to be said?

This.  Again speculation of his release predates marijuana talk but it doesn't make a good story

Yes, we have always liked to keep a fullback and he's definitely one of the top at the position.

This. He's our fb who can also line up as a TE. He isn't getting cut.

I forgot to mention Daryl Smith, Haloti Ngata, etc. All guys that they let go randomly. It aint like we had elite players behind them waiting to make plays. Of course Im looking forward to guys like Urban, Correa, and others to make a huge impact. The difference is now this team is making gambles on these guys. We used to know for sure who was going to step in and perform to expectations of a stellar defense.

Ngata last yr didn't produce like Williams did.  Daryl was losing snaps at the end of last yr. nothing random about their departures. 

I don't see Williams being priced out of the Ravens market. I think they'll make it work as he's part of the next gen of Ravens greats.

Yea, that's one thing I could not stand about Torrey.  Don't get me wrong I liked what Torrey did for us, but he didn't attack the ball in the air near enough.  Although, I remember the playoff game against the Broncos, his second TD was a thing of beauty. 

Torrey got better with time but yeah he wasn't a natural hands catcher.  Damn hard worker though. 

As for Monroe. If he was durable and subsequently reliable the talk about marijuana wouldn't be an issue.

What's going on with Mallet? Hopefully a better defense makes him look worse?

But it talks about errant passes so that's more on him

Just mallet being mallet

They're essentially firing him for speaking on a subject that does no harm to the organization. If it was because of badmouthing the organization which I know had something to do with it, but let's say he was a model player and still spoke out on marijuana, would they still feel the need to get rid of him? I'd think so.

No he's unreliable and isn't around to perform his job function. That's why he's getting "fired". This rumor was around longer than the discussion of him being a marijuana advocate.

Despite all the talk of him being unreliable a few months ago people will act like his only negative is an attempt to call out the front office recently.

When Monroe has been healthy hes been good.

 

Stanely hasnt proven anything. Tunsil was more pro ready but of course, we are obsessed with choir boys now. I really didnt like harbs tone discussed monroe and the medical cannabis '' we dont share eugenes views'' . Tells me he's backwards, anyhow i have never respected harbs. I'm anti military and anti army. He's pro that statist evil crap. This organization is representing backwards thinking...its a shame, really..

Yeah when. To bad it's not often which was my point. You wanna play what if I'm adding a real scenario about the unavailability of Monroe.

and what if Stanley isnt good early on? Lewis, Wagner or hurst? please...dont make me laugh

It's not like Monroe has been reliable. So what if Stanley isn't good and Monroe gets hurt again?  I mean if we are going to play the what if game...

I will say if the Ravens missed- communication tactic's resurface about him this time around the front office will smell of a fish kill. No coach speak or spin job will be tolerated by the fan base or media. Some feet will be held to the fire ! And rightfully, so.  As a matter of fact it's over due..

You going to renounce your fandom?

It wasn't our Coach! We had a veteran ball club that harbaugh destroyed! Ed Reed and Pollard was forced out of Baltimore. He's not a great Coach and it's starting to show now.

Ed reed wasn't forced out by a long shot and pollard is a career journeyman.  Misremembering facts doesn't prove your point it only makes your claims look foolish.

I can only imagine how frustrated the front office is... 

That part is sad.  You know they're frustrated with his injuries but feel for him at the same time.

the camps are run more intensly than most if not all NFL teams. He's been in trouble in the past because of it..

No you didn't. You again are generalizing when asked about a specific event.

Except this isn't the thread for his injury.  This is about all the injuries, mostly from the past couple of years.  And then the new trend that seems to be starting. 

Or are you thinking that's all just randomly bad luck and had nothing to do with the team?  We just added the conditioning training this year on a whim? 

So it's a thread about all injuries and you're upset I talked about an injury?   Lol

Didn't Sizzle blow out an achilles in the past playing a pickup game of basketball? Damn Harbaugh

Lol. 

His acl injury isn't due to going too hard in camp. There's also issues with hamstring pulls that can be tied in to not warming up properly or the long time standing around between reps that happens more often when you have an inflated offseason roster.

Harbs is notorious ...even the players have said ( who have been on other teams) that the ravens camp is the toughest they have been in.

Still haven't answered the question.

ligaments can get worn out so when practice does occur it wont take much to cause strains and sprains..

 

i think harbs is a nutcase to be honest but it runs in the familly.

Again you fail to answer the question. You claim it's due to going hard all the time so give proof to back up your claims. 

Ok so what drill and speed was perriman doing when injured?
