Postapocalypse Raven

Yea... Grubbs performed so bad for us that year that he played his way straight into his first Pro Bowl(2011), and then again with the Saints in 2013. He was an excellent guard at the time, and the only thing that doesn't make sense is the fact that you keep implying that his release was performance based when nothing could be further from the truth. Yanda's agent didn't need to "dash to the bargaining table" because Grubbs preference was to play elsewhere, and it is a well known fact that Yanda wanted to stay and play. Ben Grubbs wanted two things; 1. Top dollar, and 2. He wanted to play closer to home. Neither of which we could offer him, but the Saints could. Yanda was a virtual shoe-in, all he had to do was sign on the dotted line. In the case of Yanda and KO, performance isn't that big of a factor because both perform similarly well. Yanda is a four time Pro Bowler, and most consider KO to be a Pro Bowl caliber guard as well. So it's not like we're comparing Marshal Yanda, and John Urschel here. The drop off in performance at the guard position between Yanda and KO is not that significant, and teams typically do not give big contracts to both guards. If KO just so happens to sign first then chances are we're going to be waving bye bye to Yanda, OR vise versa.

Finders keepers at it's finest. The second she filed an insurance claim on the ring she considered it a loss. She gave up on it, so the ring was no longer hers. That's what she gets for loaning it out. The only thing the guy who found it did wrong was not removing her name, and not getting rid of it out of state.

The only thing we missed out on by not being able to pick Dez is a bunch of drama. I'd say we won that one.

I'm sure about it, and unfortunately history will probably repeat itself once again. Whoever doesn't sign first will probably be the odd man out. Besides, if we were getting rid of guys because they had a bad game against Vince Wilfork then we wouldn't have kept Matt Birk as long as we did.

And just in case anybody forgot here's Tucker's "pick me" video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTZhdFGFJX0. Your turn Nick Rose.

They let Grubbs go because Yanda signed his contract first. It could have very easily been the other way around had Grubbs signed his contract first. Whoever doesn't sign first is probably the odd man out.

Wow... Take things seriously much bio? This might be a long shot but I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that Ryan's comment was just a tiny bit more lighthearted than your post suggests.

One thing that can be said about Jah Reid for sure is that he's far more likely to have a headache as opposed to being one.

NFL Live is broadcast on ESPN.

Hopefully his career path will not mirror Michael Oher's.

After all he's been through I hope he doesn't have commitment issues.

Papa was a rollin stone... Wherever he laid his hat was his home...

Sarcasm? Who me??? I lose sleep at night thinking of ways to show Jah Reid how much I truly appreciate his many many many contributions to the team over the past four years. With many many many more contributions to come I'm sure.

Ok here goes... Thanks Jah Reid for being an inexpensive player who almost never sees any snaps because you've either got a boo boo, or your busy getting beat out by late round and undrafted rookies. Thank you Jah Reid for consistently occupying one of the hot tubs, draining the medical staffs resources, eating the food, and breathing the air that could go towards the other players that actually have a chance to get onto the field. Maybe one day if you ever make it out of the tub then your number just might get called.... Nahhhh because even when your healthy you just flat out stunk up the joint, but at least you don't eat up a lot of salary cap right??? You are even less to our offensive line than what Terence Cody was to our defensive line. In fact the ONLY reason we should be thankful for you Jah Reid is for the fact that you were removed from the starting lineup back in 2012 which resulted in a win streak and a SB victory. It is for this reason that we are eternally grateful for the toe injury of 2012. Thank you. How'd I do!!!?

Four LTs in the top 50 of the top 100 players this year, but hey, look on the bright side... at least we've got Yanda. Oh well... top 80 ain't too bad.

Three(3) left tackles in the top 50 of the top 100 players so far. Too bad none of them have been Monroe.

Lol... I'll be here all week!

Sure hope Suggs doesn't hurt himself trying to get into shape at the last minute.

Huge deal... because NO other receivers in the league have dropped ANY pass so far this year right?

If I said it once I've said it a thousand times... He'll be back!

Somebody get this guy a bulldog puppy, and name it Haloti.... QUICK!

After going to the extent of having the Ray Rice jersey exchange days in order to distance themselves from him, and having thousands upon thousands of fans in attendance, I'm thinking that the chances of the front office turning around and doing a complete 180 by re-signing him, and putting him BACK into a Ravens jersey are absolutely zero. No ifs, ands, or maybes about that. He'll get a chance somewhere else though, it's just a matter of time.

Yes we do... Preferably one that can also return kicks as well. Don't think Camps gonna cut it.

Lol... Do you stick your fingers in your ears and close your eyes really tight when you do that? I just read on PFF that Yanda sprouted a set of wings and has been seen flying around Baltimore City, so I guess you believe that too.

All linemen and all different positions. The best lineman in the league will almost ALWAYS be one of the elite LTs. Not a RG. As is the case now.
