Empty Roster Spot Filled By Olb Edgar Jones

[Sunday QB]

[font=comic sans ms,cursive]What do we do with it? Who do we move up or bring in?[/font]

[PuRock]

Whoever is the best at special teams on the practice squad. My guess is Chavis Williams.

FYI, for those who aren't sure what the OP is talking about. The Ravens are placing Burgess on IR today.

Not sure....but odds are he'll retract it in 2 minutes in another post, then say it again, then retract and then for the last post of 5 in 4 minutes he'll say we just put Burgess on IR

[PurpleandBlackBlood]

We wouldn't sign TO just to beat the Steelers. He would need to learn the offense and still get into football shape. TO at 37 isn't a guy you can bring in mid week and have him playing full go the next Sunday.

[FerrariFan87]

It'll be a special teams guy.... don't expect a big splash during Steelers week.

[PurpleandBlackBlood]

well what if we sign him just to run 9 routes down the field just to push back the steeler cb's

[PurpleandBlackBlood]

im pretty sure hed be able to run straight lines to assit in cutting off the top of the pitt defense

So can Torrey. He's faster as well. Owens wouldn't do much to keep the defense honest after being out of football for a while. Plus there were concerns about his stamina after his open workout. Jerry Rice noted that his legs seemed to be a little weak after the show.

Then on top of that, you have to wonder if the guy will off himself at any time.

Isnt he working out for Oakland? Although I wouldnt mind bringing Housh in as a veteran 3rd WR.

[Guest Moderator 6]

I honestly don't know who we're going to sign, but I would be willing to bet that 99% of us are going to ask "who?".

Even Ryan Clark would be able to keep stride with Owens right now.

[TheRavenouseD2008]

Samuel ? j/k honestly what replacements for burgess could we get?

[T-ray]

Patrick Willis??? LOL.... too bad he's not even close to a free agent... and nevermind the fact that he'd take more money than we can give to him..... but that would be a freakin dream come true if this were Madden and we had the ability to cut whoever the heck we wanted from teams haha

Not sure if the source was noted - http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/blogs/sports/ravens/ravens-ravens-place-prescott-burgess-on-ir/article_ecce4b62-04c3-11e1-8912-001cc4c002e0.html?cbst=41

[quote]The Ravens are flying in an unnamed player for a physical Wednesday moring to replace Burgess on the active roster.[/quote]

[SideStep77]

Has to be a special teams guy. Thats why we re-signed Burgess anyways.

[Adam Jones]

Can Josh Bynes cover kicks?

[Ngata92NT]

PLEASE BE TROY SMITH COME BACK TO US WE NEED YOU. [img]http://content.boards.baltimoreravens.com//public/style_emoticons/default/troll.gif[/img]

[cursona pirate]

a back up wtaerboy or maybe they have an empty spot so they can have an extra seat on the plane!
but yes a special teamer

[rlh445]

Has T.O. been suggested yet?

[Natty Boh]

I wonder if Bernard Berrian plays special teams. I haven't heard of anyone signing him since he was released by the Vikings and he is only 31 years old. Could be nice to have a special teams guy who also has a chance to be a #3 WR for us. This guy has some upside for the Ravens if his attitude is right.

Yes; I wonder why the guy hasn't even been given a shot to tryout for a team yet. The dude may not be a Pro Bowl player, but he's definitely not someone who should be a free agent in a pass friendly league.
