[Blogs] Kindle Will Practice Thursday

[ItsOurYear]

Hopefully, we get SOMEBODY. I'm not expecting Nnamdi at all. Just SOMEBODY who can make a difference right away.

Time to see what Sergio can do. Let's just hope he's what we hoped he was when we drafted him.

Carlos Rodgers is a horrible CB, might as keep Fabian Washington......No hands, and has gotten burned his entire career....

He possibly has the worst hands of any CB in the NFL

[Purple_ICE 81]

carlos rogers is way better than fabian washington terrence cody could probly cover better than fabian washington im just sayin theres alot of decent corners out there

[stixfix69]

Why would we let Wilson walk for 4 mil per year to sign Cromartie for 8-10 per year??? Might as well sign Nnmadi if we are going to spend that kind of money....

[Purple_ICE 81]

@stixfix69 haha yea except if we were to sign nnamdi it would have to for $16-20M Per Year, and pshhh antonio cromartie has a bad attitude anyway why would we want him in purple

[stixfix69]

If the plan is J.smith being our shutdown CB,that everyone has been saying since the day we drafted him, and with Webb emerging as our other starting CB, i think it would be wise to sign a solid CB, that can give us 2-3 years of solid play, so we can give J.smith the chance to prov himself......Thats why i thought Wilson would have been a great signing, because if he was under contract, and if J.smith proved his worth, he would have given us trade value next year, or even the year after......JMO.....

[Purple_ICE 81]

yea i was sayin that to some kid yesterday if we just let jimmy smith start off the bat i dont think he would emerge as good as having a mentor to show him the ropes like wilson. But man imagine what smith would take away from the game if we had nnamdi asomugha, he would learn so much and it would be awesome because they both have that physical pure cover corner type of game. Maan talk about jimmy smith the nnamdi asomugha prodegy

Go Kindle, just don't lead with your head and you should be fine.

[Purple nd Black]

@stixfix We can say we should sign a solid CB. Its a matter of doing it..... Doensn't look like we are.

[kuhl_ravens]

I have a good feeling about this guy!

[Purple_ICE 81]

i wish we had marc bulger under contract we could be baiting him up like kevin kolb try and get a corner but noooo bulger is a FA

[stixfix69]

@purple nd Black.....I agree, there isn't a lot out there, either studs wanting 10 mil, or slouches....But i do think if Clements fell in between that, because of his age, he could give us a good 1-2 years of service.....Thats why seeing Wilson go for a song in the CB world stings......

[jravens13]

Sergio better make up for missing last season! Right now were waiting to see what your made of, but if you work your (you know what) off and ball out we will always have your back.

[Purple nd Black]

It's like our FO really doesn't care right now. I really don't understand... We either need to bring in J.J, Chromartie, I wouldn'y mind Clements either. But were letting them all get signed. We haven't even talked to anyone, exept our own that i've heard...

[gravens1]

just signed jah

[stixfix69]

I am pretty anxious to see some of the UDFA we signed, we did get a lot of talented players.....And Mana Silva could be a gem, a SS at 6'1 210, that runs a 4.4 can be scary if he can play at this level.....

just signed jah
[/quote]

Now just J. Smith is left to sign and we'll have our whole draft class in camp!

[stixfix69]

No to worried about Oz reaching out to players, i am sure he has, but a lot depends on what Nnmadi does, he is setting the bar for the top CB's......Other position players, he has to compete with teams that have the cap space to sign the top players......His UFA, FA, and cap casualty is no doubt full of a ton of different scenarios....He just can't look at this year, he has to see how the contracts he hands out will affect our over the next few years.....

[bioLarzen]

Sergio, I wish you a Ravens career at the end of which this whole injury madness will be nothing but a small, distant bad memory that took place before a multiple-Pro Bowl and SB winning career.

Man... do you really think they don't care? That they just sit back and relax?

O, ye of little faith...

[Blazin Ravens]

I don't think we really need a CB. I can tell that Webb has worked hard this summer and I feel he should be ready to start. Foxworth, assuming we keep him, can hold down the fort untill Smith is ready to be the other starter, then Smith and Webb will have the constant compotitian of who is guarding the number 1 receiver. With Foxworth and Brown holding the nickel and dime corner spots, and maybe Cary Williams as the fifth. So unless we get Asomugha I don't feel like we should go after a corner.

[stixfix69]

Really wish there was a edit option....

[Purple nd Black]

@biolarzen Never once did I say they don't care, Thats just the impression i'm getting right now.

[Purple&Black]

guess its kinda good that the new CBA limits 2 a days and padded practice. gives his head more time to heal...GL i hope you were worth the wait

[stixfix69]

4:00 p.m can't come soon enough, that's when teams can waive players......Then we can see who is available....

[Ravens fan PA]

First let me say problems with computer and net for all them postings. problem sovled. second i stand by what i said can u stand their and say that we don't need help at pass rusher i saw the games from last year we had little to no pass rush and it was inconstant at best.and our secondary had trouble all year we do need a pass rusher a DE that can push from the outside and a cover corner till Jimmy Smith can get up to speed.

[Black&Purple#1]

Good News.. ! Lets do this

[ravens626]

whoever said we signed jah isnt right.... were still missing jimmy and jah, theyre not at practice

[balfan23]

I would think that 4 PM is looming as a fairly significant point in time in this process. That is when cuts become official and when teams will likely start going after a lot of the guys that are officially released. It also will likely be around the same time that a couple of the key signings will happen that will cause dominoes to fall.

That being said, the one main thing that is troubling me is - not that we haven't made a bunch of FA signings - but that we haven't dealt with Ngata's 12.5M hit to the 2011 cap. I thought for sure we'd have that issue in the rear view at least 24 hours ago so we know what room we have to work with.

Not a peep anywhere on that topic.
