Ravens Cuts Thread (Merged)

[Ravenite]

I think we gonna wait on Tyree and see else is gonna be out there. Remember, we had some scouts at the Eagles game and they gonna be releasing some good solid players but there's alot of others guys out there. We need some depth on the O-Line so I suspect maybe 2-3 guys getting picked up from being released.

And I'm also using the IP Board skin instead of the Ravens skin; much cleaner interface (even if it's plain) and no ads (for now.)

You can change your skin by going to the very bottom of the page, and it's in a drop-down tab in the lower-left corner.

If it's Barnes vs. McClain, who would you choose?

Both are too good to cut either... but, if you twist my arm, I would keep Barnes' speed over McClain.

I'd choose Barnes, in that case. McClain has made some big plays on situational downs, but those are just a small sample of his body of work. Those plays won't come on every down. Barnes, in his limited action, has done the little things and has helped other teammates make plays. He's essentially what Jarret Johnson is right now, just not at that skill level.

Also, depth at OLB isn't as strong as ILB, and most of the OLB's can double as DE's if necessary. That versatility helps Barnes' case more than McClain, even though McClain started his career as a hybrid OLB/DE, just because Barnes is natural in that hybrid role.

[Bullrush]

I'm a big Barnes fan so i'd stick with him. He's a great pass rusher and a good leader.

I'd take McClain

[J-man]

But Barnes had the infamous jockstrap tackle on Brian Westbrook (I have the picture, but I dont want to post it because I a mod might not like it's "partial nudity")

[Ravenite]

bye bye Figurs.

He might get signed by the Raiders...

[hazeleyes]

WR Yamon Figurs has been waived

[Bullrush]

[quote]Ravens wide receiver Justin Harper got released.[/quote]

lmao, i just hope we dont sign David Tyree

[Ravenite]

WOAH...

Harper got released

[Alexir]

They cut Harper?! I thought he was almost a lock to make the team due to depth. Looks like we bringing in some vets

[mhead66]

Figurs and Harper?

Wow. I figured one of the two would make it. Who lands on the PS, between the two?

I'm hoping so too. I think there's alot of other solid guys out there that we might be looking at other than David Tyree.

I'm not sure if Figurs is eligible for the PS but I think Harper definitely will if a team doesnt snatch him

[Bullrush]

Figurs is a bit of a shocker. I'm pretty sure Oakland is gonna pick him up soon.
