Nfl does this thing called "standings" and his this other thing called "playoffs" which makes "power rankings" irrelevant 

I like him as a backup and with the idea that he develops.  Lord knows we can use some help at center going forward plus.

Probably a potential practice squad workout and nothing more. These types of guys work out for us every single week pretty much. 

More or less this. 

Does make you wonder about urschel though. Hope he's getting healthy enough to play if needed

Forgot Tali was on the team, heh. That's freaking interesting, man.

Most have. Especially with the idea of Dixon coming back. The excitement of that    draws attn away from taliaferro.   As was mentioned early on we seem to have more options at the skill positions this yr than the last few.

Again, it makes sense, but this move isn't necessarily for that.  They have a week until they have to make a decision on Waller.  They could opt for some other depth right now and see how Maxx progresses this week before making a decision on Waller.

Oh my bad I didn't realize you were just arguing and didn't have a point. My bad for engaging you

If they even want him to move to the roster.  Again, it makes a ton of sense, but this doesn't necessarily mean Waller gets the spot.

Maxx Williams is hurt again and there's also discussion on whether or not they'll sit him. Moving forsett to give a spot to Waller gives time to decide how they want to handle maxx. 

The next step, barring injuries, is the decision with taliaferro once he comes off pup.  Thinking an IR decision for max or taliaferro comes at that time.

That hasn't been stated anywhere.  It makes a lot of sense, but nothing reported on that.

Not stated directly but in order to add him to the roster after suspension they have to move someone else. They have a week to decide so the move is essentially being done early.

Dixon is already on the roster.

Still TBD who gets Forsett's spot.

Darren Waller

This is why my Dad says never to buy a players jersey, what are people going to do with their #29 Forsett jerseys? best of luck Justin Forsett

I'd say it's why I don't buy rookie jerseys or guys who have only been there for less than 3 full yrs. 

Was hoping he'd have a good year but the writing was on the wall.  Classy man and thankful he was here to help the running game for a bit.  

i thought one of the early articles said he was punched in the back of the head leading to his falling down.  

Sadly Oakland/ca Bay Area fans have gotten a bad rap for how they act at multiple venues due to things like this.

I saw an article written over the summer stating that Trestman in year two on every team he was an OC, the numbers regressed significantly, so this seems to be a trend with him. Only time he ever improved in his second year was when he had Steve Young controlling the offense. He gets a very small pass from me because our offensive line is not playing well, but there really needs to be better game planning when you know you're going to have Mack on Hurst one on one and we've surrounded Joe with the most weapons he's ever had. Hopefully the emergence of West and the return of Dixon will open up our offense more. 

Thought that was on the Ravens site.  I read it too

I was interested in seeing what osemele had to say.

Didn't see a lot of people saying this after Julio's 1 catch, 16 yard game against that deathly tough Saints secondary just last week...

That's because it's only something used when it's convenient for them. 

Bad= first half offense 

good = second half offense. 

Hope we can be more agressive out the gate and keep in on all game.  Despite the loss I feel good about this 3-1team. 

West did good. Sucks we lost but offensively there's hope 

Ravens win if they score more...

I don't like Hurst at LT. I don't know why on Earth we did not make an upgrade at LT to begin with, makes no sense what so ever. I don't want to move too many people on the OL, it can disrupt chemistry severely and can be an awful experiment. 

I think there's two possibility's and that's if Alex Lewis is good to go. 

If Lewis can indeed play, then I think  you kick Lewis out to LT and plug in Jensen at LG

If Lewis can't go then I guess you go with Hurst at LT and pray to god he doesn't get ripped to shreds. 

 

Like drafting a LT?

brady "KICKED" Ed Reed in a game! "KICKED"! You can talk about me but don't spit or put your feet on me! Do you agree?! There is no place for hate because even after a game teammates and friends from the other teams trade jerseys and take pictures! Ray Lewis and Jerome Bettis respected one another and that's something alot of people had to respect and understand!

You don't have to like someone to respect them.

Nice coaching philosophy Tomlin. No wonder we think you guys are a bunch of thugs. We don't hate one Steelers player, we hate the whole team and organization.

Doesn't make it better.  It's a motivation factor so I understand where tomlin was coming from just like I understand how Suggs discusses Tom Brady.

So once again Sami created an overreactionary thread based off of a first round rookie?

 

Listen, if its a truly devastating injury we would have heard about it

In his defense he simply said what the tweet said. Stanley was in a walking boot. 

The reason I wanted links was to read if there was more details about the injury or if it was just precautionary.

Still waiting on this whole link thing....

INT was great but the most impressive thing with CJ this season is that he again plays fast and hits with purpose. He is a blitzing artist, I wish Pees would dial that stuff more often.

Mixed. Yeah he's good with the blitz but also creating turnovers when he drops into coverage.

Its still really early in the season but he has really impressed.

His range has expanded.  Making ints deep down field and acrobatic catches. He's definitely showing why he's the one to replace Ray in the middle.
