With Ravens recent struggles on both sides of the ball and a lot of blame to go around, someone might ask - is it the coaches or players?
There has been some questionable playcalling on part of Cam Cameron and Dean Pees, but with our record being 5-2, I don't see any changes coming in that department.
We need help on defense, so question is Who Would You Like To Bring In?
1) MLB E.J. Henderson - report say is healthy and great shape. We have plenty of LB's but besides Suggs, none of them is performing to the standard, well maybe Upshaw, but thats it. If we stay in 3-4 scheme, Henderson could be great help to us
2) NT Kelly Gregg - with Ngata being banged up and Kemo and Cody playing average, it would be nice to welcome Gregg back, if healthy. We can certainly use him to stop the run.
3) Any Cornerback - and I say any decent one, because what we have now is below the average.
So there it is, opinions will be appriciated.

At this point in the season do you really think there are still Free Agents out there better than the players we already have? Seriously? We're not the only team with injuries. Anyone worth having is on a roster.

Good question. Let's ask this one - Is ANY of our linebackers, besides Suggs, better than E.J. Henderson?
Would you consider putting E.J. Henderson on the roster instead of Josh Bynes? I have to say OH YEAH !

I have beering a lot of members mention EJ Henderson. Who is this most wanted athlete ?

[jazz1988]

Honestly there's really no body out there in free agency that I can say is worth signing or bringing in . I think the ravens would have to trade for a player in order to improve certain areas of their defense

Did any of you see Kelly Gregg with the Chiefs? It was painful to watch.
His time is long gone and is rumored to be retiring.
And I don't feel there are any cb's or lb's out there better than what we already have.

Although, I am one that feels it comes down to coaching.

EJ Henderson is a 32yo two down downhill MLB with a shot knee, no coverage ability and no experience in a 3-4.

He's a local guy that was a Terp and drafted by the Vikes. He played 9 years for them before being cut loose. Word is he is looking for big bucks. Supposedly he is healthy, but he sucks in pass coverage. Not a good fit here.

Kelly gregg would do it for us, all we need is someone to plug the middle of the d-line, when he was here he was doing the dirty work.

i thought a couple of teams worked him out and declined to sign him.

Knowing Harbs and our personnel I don't believe we are getting anybody by end of trading deadline! Harbs pretty much said so...

I agree, it does come down to coaching. A good coach can make a mediocre player into a good player.

[Dfence4champs2052]

I don't know about free agency but trading for Mike Jenkins might be helpful. We need another pass rusher too. I'd love to at least have to dominant pass rushers. Oh the good times we could have.

[BloodRaven]

I see Jason Brown is still a free agent. His dope could have been starting at LG for us right now if he had just taken the contract.

Or center, better yet.

[redrum52]

We can't afford and wouldn't pursue those guys. I wouldn't mind going after Brian Price. Cheap young player and I think he's decent against the run. I think we are good at lb with Suggs back. If Ellerbe and McClain stay healthy we should be good. The place we need help is on the d line. We need more depth and I'm mad we didn't keep Kitchen. Might sound stupid but I think we should start Jones at re Ngata at nt and McPhee at le. Mix and match til you find a good lineup and worry about the depth later.

[Dfence4champs2052]

If we could have do overs...I would have snagged Asante Samuel before the ATL trade (I don't know the number though) and I'd have drafted Kendricks the OLB the Eagles took and signed Burfict as an UDFA or dead last draft pick.

If we signed Kendricks then no Upshaw or KO. I was mad we didn't take a shot on Burifct when he was still around in the 7th. I think falling so far would've/did humble him and he came in this season ready work. We also wouldn't have had the money to resign Samuel like I think the Falcons did.

[ravens88]

yea i definately wanted Burfict even at round 6 to much potential to pass up but he looks good you never know could be a pacman jones in a year or two. Personally i know we wont sign anyone nor do i care for anything thats out there. the issue we have need to be fixed with the players we have there are no band aid F/A's out there nor would i want one we need to fix these issues internally, just my 2 cents.
