According to Ravens twitter page. They waived Rainey to sign Anthony Allen. I don't understand why they wouldn't just have done this at cut day?

Wow. I hope this is wrong. Allen showed hardly anything in preseason. Rainey earned his spot over Allen.

Word is that Rainey struggled mightily on ST in practice this week due to his size. The team loves Allen's ST work.

It's got to be a special teams decision. I liked Rainey, hopefully we can stash him on the Practice Squad!

I just got the text alert about this and was quite confused. It's probably just reshuffling and Rainey isn't going anywhere but I don't like exposing such a talented player to poaching from another team...

Hopefully Rainey goes on the Practice Squad. I don't really like Allen. He didn't show anything during the preseason.

Ugh, I liked Bobby Rainey as a talent similar to RR, good backup change-of-pace from Bernard Pierce. But if he struggles on ST, I can totally understand the decision.
...right?

This is a horrible decision. Allen showed us nothing, Rainey showed us a lot.

My guess.. We couldn't fit laquan on The roster so we were short a st cover guy. Thus we needed to bring AA back in
Maybe shows how much confidence we have in pierce and deonte

My question is how the team didn't realize this in camp? I find it hard to believe Allen was getting all of the S/T reps then and Rainey was what, just working with the offense? In other words, if this is truly the explanation we are being given, how is it that the team didn't already know that he "struggled" on coverage or whatever and still made the roster then with how bad our special teams were last year (other than Koch)? I like Allen a lot, but he showed zero reason as to why he should have made the roster over Rainey...guess we'll see how this works out.
