i voted for him.....that guy is someone whom i can really see have a great career with us...and he's already established himself here with 2 Returns for TD's and a Would be TD catch attempt from last week from Troy Smith. that pass was Sooooo great to watch...i was literally like "oh yea! here it comes!......throws!.......Yamon is there!!!!!!! AHHHHHHH! incomplete!...damn it!" lol

[Jamal]

Although I voted for, no one else is. He only has 1% vote. Oh well.

[Raven07]

lol its just fun and games really....but i think it gives him hope and Encourages him to keep performing well each week because he knows that their are fans out there in which believe in him and support him. no matter what. he already has 2 returns for TD's this season...as a ROOKIE mind you....

[Jamal]

I wonder whats gonna happen to BJ Sams.

[Raven07]

same as earlie this season i would expect (Figurs sharing the Load) therefore reducing teh risk of injury.

Can I come over?

[Raven07]

lol i was excited at that time to see his first throw deep and to the Endzone...NEARLY complete....soooooooo close!

[Guest Birdfan]

I wonder if it's working. Yamon STILL only has 1% of the vote. Geez, maybe we're getting robbed there, too.

[Ravens52]

I voted for him too.

[TSmith10tOsu]

Voted for Yamon, but Trent does deserve it...

[Raven07]

i think Figurs deserves his shot at it because for him to adjust so quickly (apart from the fumbles and ball handling skills..TO WHICH HE IS WORKING ON to improve upon) and for him to have 2 Returns for TD's this season and with him constantly trying to get better and better as time goes on and because of his work ethic and never ending competitive spirit/inner drive.....makes him a lyable prospect.

[judge]

yeah, only 1%. next time a ravens player has a chance to win an award like this we need to promote the hell out of it. on here, on craigslist, myspace, facebook, whatever anyone uses

[Raven07]

yes...when something like this happens again....we need to jump on it and vote for them as much as we possibly can.

haha niiice, i just might do that kind of thing, over and over and over again

[ragnorok99]

I voted for Edwards because he led the Bills to a decisive victory over the imposing Dolphins.

(Just kidding, Go Figurs)

[Raven07]

dude...you have no idea what i was gonna post after i read the first part of your post....i was like "whoa..what???? a Raven fan not voting for Raven Players??? e-gade! what he heck!"

[ReED jucate]

Sams will be in his last contract year and I dont think we will resign him seein as we have Figurs (who reminds me of Jermaine Lewis). Next year I would put Figurs in as return man with sams moved up to field any short kicks and have sams return punts. Oh and Cory Ross can be on practice squad.

[Raven07]

that sounds like a good 1-2 punch with Figurs and Sams..once Sams is back and healthy again and ready to get it going.

We just need to remember to keep Sams the hell off the field when we travel to Cincy next year, send him to Hawaii for the weekend or somthing, because even if we sidelined him with his luck some player will come flying out of bounds and break his leg.

[Raven07]

lol......lets just hope that he can stay healthy for the whole season, and at teh same time, put up the kind of numbers we've seen him put up

I was about to say the same thing. Trent Edwards is winning by a land slide.

[Raven07]

he has played well but as raven fans i think we would love to see our Raven Players win it, not the other way around..

[neepo13]

Yeah, we would but that doesnt mean he will. Especially if we are the only ones, voting for him. Trent Edwards IS winning by a land slide and even with all of us voting for Figurs, he only has 1 % of the vote. That should tell you something.

[ReED jucate]

I just want to see Figurs burning people on deep post routes.

If Figurs' return had changed the outcome of the game, he probably would have had a better chance.
