I wanted us to draft Renner late last year, so i think that could be good signing. Thought he looked alot like Flacco skill wise - tall QB with underrated mobility and an arm that can make all the throws. He should be good competition for that backup spot.

That's crap. He was the only sure tackler in the defensive backfield . He didn't get safety help over the top at all. The guy played a decent CB

whoa whoa whoa, sure tackler, what game were you watching? nobody back there was tackling well at all

Something I've been looking at as I've been getting ready for the offseason is the prospect of signing a vet CB for depth, not a guy that should be starting but quality depth at the vet minimum would be nice, if this year has taught us anything it's that we should have at least some depth at that position with our starters being Jimmy and Webb, two guys that have had problems with injuries. I don't want to be caught again next year without depth. So a couple vets out there in no particular order: Charles Tillman, Terrance Newman, Rashean Mathis, Hold on to Aaron Ross (although he's had two serious injuries two years in a row). Also a vet DT would be nice, especially if we indeed let Cody walk. 

I've never been one for signing young high profile FAs...I'd rather take cheap vets or low profile guys, i think thats what our FO does as well. Seems like we get good value out of doing that and we don't have to tie up a bunch of money for high profile guys.

We got Tony Dorsett?  60 years old and making a comeback.

 

 

 

Oh, Forsett i mean

Out of the alllllllllllll the UDFA RB's....

we have Rice, Pierce, Taliaferro, Forsett, and Wood - we are crowded at the moment, theres a very small chance any UDFA RB can make the team

Ok your taking to another level, If flacco goes down the season is over no if's and but's no back qb is gonna do anything about that. 2) Asa could be come a good player, but i think we just throw him in and jus wait for him to become good, and dont forget he's already had one drug suspension, who knows if he gets another one he could be out for the season. 

3) I think Chyie only the has the potential ok #3 at best, it would be better if would have added someone with more talent, but what do i know, its not a passing league or anything....

4) You said he doesn't have to be able to guard Megatron or any #1 what happened last year when Megatron lined up in the slot 2 or three times against Graham, He was wide open, but thankfully he dropped those ones. You can't say he wont have to guard #1 because sometimes they have to when they line up in the slot. When that time comes where he does guard a #1 it could be a touch down.

5) We want Webb in the slot because he plays better there, and if we want him to play slot and he does, Chykie will be seeing the oppositions #1 50% of the time.

 

Those are the reason why I think we should add more depth to are cbs and stop saying well no 6 rd cbs will help us, remember this draft is one of the deepest we seen so sum of the cbs we past on would have gone 3rd or 4th in other draft. Have you been watching the draft they have been talking about how deep the draft was almost everyday.      

i never said "no 6th round CBs could help us", i'm saying a 6th rounder (regardless of how deep the draft is) wouldnt be as good of a #3 as Chykie or even Asa. Not even 1st rounders are always able to come in right away, think Jimmy Smith or Dee Milliner (who got benched plenty of times last season). You keep saying its a passing league as if you're the only one who knows that, but what apparently you don't know is that goes both ways, if Flacco goes down and you are ready to just mail in the season shows how much of a fan you really are, our season would be over just like the 2008 Patriots...a backup QB can change that, what if Flacco goes down, you'd be the one saying "oh well at least we have a #3 CB, our #2 QB is no good but we do have a 3rd string CB, SB here we come."

fine, he wouldnt have to guard a #1 or #2 on a regular basis, but using Megatron doesn't help your point, #1's and #2s can't cover Megatron consistently

how can you just throw Asa in and wait for him to be good when you are dead set against having him or Chykie playing #3? his drug suspension wasn't over anything bad, it was proscribed medication, he shouldn't have anymore trouble with it.

everyone knows Webb plays best in the slot, but he is definitely good enough to play on the outside, if Chykie or Asa were to start the season as the #3 there would be no way Webb would be the slot CB, the FO isn't incompetant

I just said he dosent have to start he could develop into something,can u read. I dont wanna trust Chykie brown for the whole year at #3 Cb. Chykie is alright at best he's not a starter, We need someone who can become a good player not be a decent player the whole time, Lardarius or web could go down at anytime then who will be are #2 Chykie, they will target him everyplay like last year. you say i know nothing, but your the one tryna argue that Chykie is a good #3 cb he's not.

3) "Lardarius or web" Lardarius Webb is one person...Flacco could go down at any time as well, leaving Tyrod as the starter? no thanks, great athlete, not a great QB

4) Asa could become a good player, in fact he could be great, he's only 24, has NFL experience and has shown flashes of being extremely good

5) The fact that you are arguing that Brown is not a serviceable #3 shows that you 'know nothing" - your words not mine. I'd much rather have Chykie in the #3 spot with actual NFL experience and being serviceable than some rookie who went undrafted. Every QB will target our #3 just like Flacco targets #3s all the time, every QB will go after the weakest link, its balanced out by the fact that he will be on their #3 WR, he doesnt have to be able to cover Megatron or Gordan or any other #1 or #2, all he has to do is cover another team's 3rd option and he is more than capable of doing that

i'd do that, but I'm not signing him before i see him with my own eyes if I'm Ozzie.

I'm not dead set against giving him a shot, but i wouldn't until i know for sure he is over the cocaine, he will now have more money than ever and that'll make him way more susceptible to falling back into cocaine, thats not an addiction that easy to get over especially when you can afford it no problem

The ravens signed Jerry Rice Jr. Obviously just being related to arguably the best receiver in NFL history makes him a big name, but it doesn't mean anything really. Just kind of cool that if he could make a roster it would be the Ravens.

yeah he isn't likely to make the team or even practice squad, he only had 11 career receptions in college and 1 TD

Who cares about reputation? Just win baby. If Colt makes us a better team, sign him.

our bank account cares about reputation, if we take him and he screws us, ticket sales go down, we have to cut him leaving us with dead money, etc

Have u watched any of them play, im serious ravens fan, didnt miss a game last year,  Roberson is one of the best cover cbs in the draft, Reynolds has better cover skills than Chykie too, has better work ethnic and is a leader. Roberson has the potenial to be somthing maybe not thise year but can develop like how jimmy did. Dont ever call me a troll because i know more about this years collage prospects than u two. 

how many 6th round CBs come into the league ready to play, better yet how many 1st rounders come in ready to play?....the answer is almost none, even our own Jimmy Smith needed a few years, Chykie and Asa at least have NFL experience, theres a massive difference between coverage in college and coverage in the pros. Roberson can't play man coverage to save his life, youre dreaming if you think he is one of the best cover corners in the draft. Obviously you don't know much, saying that Chykie can't play, he may be inconsistent but he has shown that he can hang with pro receivers. I'd be more impressed if you found someone on this forum that didnt see every game last year and the year before and so on.

Joe has never missed a game,  so i don't see a back qb as a bigger need than nickel cb.

Injuries can't be predicted, they are accidents (most of the time). How many people saw Brady going down for a whole year a couple of years back? that year the Pats were prepared anyway and still won many games and made the playoffs. Just because Flacco hasn't missed a game doesn't mean he won't ever, we saw that he isn't invincible at the end of last year.

iunno why u guys are hating on the post when im speaking the truth, your saying you guys wouldn't want, Exum, Roberson, Purifoy,Reynolds or Michele over the qb we drafted, Come now, any of those cbs could have put up a good fight for the third cb spot. Passing on those players was a mistake. The qb we draft won't help are team at all. We had one more cbs than we qbs on the team and usually the third cb is on the field with ONE backup cb, COME ON NOW Get Real   

no one said they would rather have Wenning over the players that were available. Its one thing to say that you wanted "Exum, Roberson, Purioy, Reynolds or Michele" and another to say the guy that we took is a bum. People, obviously including myself, hated on your comment for that reason. Many of us thought we should have gone another way with our pick. Calling a player a bum before he even plays a down in the NFL? Saying he's a bum is not "speaking the truth" that is asserting an opinion and there's a vast difference.

If we don't get Roberson, Seamster looks to be a great project CB. He's got the measurables. I like to think he and Hurst are almost locks to make the final roster. I think we could take a rookie punter over Koch as well. 

im hoping Orr is too, from what i see he looks like he can really play and be leader in the locker room

well ya i wouldn't doubt it we draft some bum qb from the draft. We could of drafted a skilled cb, even tho we only had 4 on the roster, we could of got that bum qb in UDFA instead of trying to fight with other teams for this cbs that have potential. In Ozzie I trust im jus saying that was clearly the smarter route for the team it's a passing league, You need good cbs to survive now a days   

"it's a passing league" you need depth at QB, all QBs on the roster need to be able to throw and as much as i love Tyrod as an athlete, he can't

please refrain from calling any player a "bum" before ever seeing them play in the NFL, you know the cliche'd 6th round QB, just because he was taken late doesnt mean he's a bum, and just because a CB was drafted doesnt mean they'll be good, we have 2 fantastic CBs, Brown has starting experience and Asa has had flashes

why not give Jerry Rice Jr. a shot? he'll be lucky to make the practice squad but who knows, maybe he'll surprise everyone

is roberson still out there?

Spot on. They just need to play at #3 CB level.

i definitely believe Asa is more than capable of holding down that spot, if no one else is signed then that'll be a camp battle to watch

 

We got faith in Jackson and Brown, somehow

i really really like Asa, he's shown flashes, but those suspensions have hindered him, Chykie has played well too - hes inconsistent but he's serviceable

I meant with Jensen in there as well as a guy we keep, one or more of Gino, Shippley, and Reid are gone.

oh...ok

With Jensen as well, some combo of Reid, Shippley, and Gino are gone. 

cut Jensen? why, we havent even got a chance to see what he's got yet...unless i just misunderstood what you meant

the worst part about the draft and Undrafted Free Agency is that other teams get to take part

Aaron wilson is confirming that we signed Jamie Meder and his awesome beard

oh yeah, and hes a good football player too, but that beard though

I don't think any have gone yet, they are probably getting many offers.

yeah, i think they are doing the right thing, they know teams want them, dont sign right away and you can get considerably more

Any bigger name corners sign with other teams? I really want the Ravens to make moves on Roberson, Hampton and Reynolds

thats on another thread, but i don't think many big names are signed yet
