Bring in Matt Starks, lets see what he can do
[/quote]

The same Starks the Steelers felt was expendable because he's overweight and out of shape?

I'd pass.

The problem is there's nothing really out there. O'Hara is about it, center wise, and it looks like he could sign with Miami, who he's visiting.

As for Tackles, you have:
Max Starks (PIT)
[b]Jared Gaither (BAL)[/b]
Nick Kaczur (NE)
Langston Walker (OAK)
Bryant McKinnie (MIN)
Flozell Adams (PIT)
Shawn Andrews (NYG)
Kevin Shaffer (CHI)
Mark Tauscher (GB)
Tyler Polumbus (SEA)

And guards:
Brian Waters (KC)
Leonard Davis (DAL)
Derrick Dockery (WAS)
Rich Seubert (NYG)
Mike Pollak (IND)
Will Montgomery (WAS)
Chester Pitts (SEA)
Pat McQuistan (MIA)
Nick Cole (PHI)

Sure, there's more FAs for both positions, but aside from one or two people, it's incredibly weak.

i say we bring back Gaither, he wouldnt cost as much now...if he passes his physical and is healthy there isnt a better OT out there

Agreed. He put that vertical on display with his catch over Carr in the end zone.

Yea it was really nice to see Torrey out on the field saturday. He also showed off his speed on a short crossing pattern that, had it been a game, he would have gotten to the sideline and exploded up for for a huge gain.

I also got the chance to see him snag the ball out of the air with his hands live. His small hands won't be an issue at all.

The crossing route to Torrey made me smile. I noticed a good number of crossing routes during the practice.

Agreed on the second point.

To be fair, Cousins gave up pressures and sacks to other players in that game, and did nothing to help the running game.
[/quote]

"On offense we fail to see why Oniel Cousins (-4.2) is in the team. His run blocking was terrible and the simple facts are the Ravens would be best off served keeping him as an additional lineman as opposed to Chris Chester (-1.0). And this in a game when Mario Williams was clearly limited by injury. It’s scary to think what could have become of Cousins against a healthy Williams."

Yea those crossing patterns could be really big this year. With Smith, Reed and Doss, the quicker you get the ball in those guys hands the better.

I expect to see a got amount of those crossing patterns Thursday Night.

I'm actually impressed with the thoroughness of this depth chart. Usually an outside site would butcher it but Roto has a pretty accurate 'could be' picture.

I do think The Jimmy gains ground and Pollard eclipses Zibby.

Yeah somehow they have a pretty accurate idea of the Ravens depth chart. I agree that Pollard will start at SS, and Jimmy Smith will be at least nickel corner by the start of the season.

At WR, I dont see Brandon Jones making the roster over Marcus Smith, since Smith has special teams value as a gunner.

Also Arthur Jones is listed as starter at DE over Cory Redding.
