Trawick is not going anywhere. He is big and physical. Correctable rook mistake.

 

Disagree.........Trawick demonstrated a complete lack of Situation Awareness.  A discerning Front Office would remedy that error immediately. The Problem is the Front Office has Not been discerning ever since the Championship Game. They've gone on a "Wilding", so there's really no telling what they will do now.

 

Dallas Clark should have had his name removed from the Locker last night, but once again, this Raven Management is setting new standards for mistakes.

Were not talking a Jimmy Smith error but a Mark Sancheese butt fumble error. You can't run into a key player on the team and injure him and think your not going to be in the dog house.

[Militant X 1]

He said he was on his phone. Ain't nobody got time for dat!! All the things that went wrong last night and you're concerned about a name being misspelled. SMH

exactly homie! lol!

I think it was kind of stupid to cut Brown in the first place, although we did bring him back. I mean, Brown had made key contributions to ST too, so it's not like Trawyck or whatever the heck his name is was a much better ST player. Anybody remember the FF that Brown had on the opening drive versus the Rams?

Watching Huff last night should almost bring Brown to the active and get him some time in there with the regulars no less.

[Perfekt]

Or atleast let Elam have a chance at Huffs spot.

If every rookie who made a horrible mistake got cut there would be darn few vets.

I completely disagree. Most rookies do not make horrible mistakes. Mistakes yes, but not horrible mistakes. In fact I would say that fewer than 1 in 100 make horrible mistakes. (like taking out your fellow player) The league would do just fine with 1% less bone headed rookies.

Last offseason, the Vikings told their players that anyone who laid a hit on AP would get cut. I think that's a pretty good standard for the regular season. Knocking the #2 receiver and only returner on the team out of the game is inexcusable.

Feasting on our own, I see..... :229031_rant:

 Should we cut Arthur Brown for letting the ST player for Denver getting though to Koch unabated, thus giving up a block?

[jimjim5]

I agee but how many ST players that are supposed to be blocking just happens to not only run into the returner but takes out the number 2 wide receiver in the process?

Yes, its unusal, but the mistake is really no different than Special Teams defenders allowing a punt return or kick-off return. Someone makes a mistake for a long return to happen. A mistake is a mistake.

[TZMou]

I've always thought Brown should have been on the 53 anyway so I'd just swap them round, think Trawick has potential and after last nights error should make the practice squad. So a simple swap could be a viable option.

by this standard then Ihedigbo should be cut for putting Pitta on IR

I agree with you on most of that. But allowing a return for a TD is nowhere near injuring one of the starters on offense.

[gabefergy]

The only reason this guy made the the was for ST and he made the worst possible play. He's lucky the ball didn't hit him or Jacoby.

I see no reason to keep him, and now we need a PR so goodbye.

[NaveSenrag]

I meant transferring that rule to the regular season. There is honestly no excuse I care to hear for taking out a teammate during a game.

[jaege]

Of course not. Not even comparable. That other player made a great play. Our guys cannot be held accountable for that. But no one pushed or maneuvered Trawick into Jones. That was all on him.

[ravensgirl20]

This mistake upsets me more than the loss. I expected adjustments with a young team, I didn't expect THIS.

Despite his tackle on Jacoby, Trawick was one of only two guys (McClellan too) that played every single ST snap.

[gabefergy]

OK, that doesn't excuse a mistake of that magnitude though. If we need to bring someone in to return punts, you have to imagine Trawick is the guy to get chopped unless Jensen gets IRed instead.

He is also a guy that was a play maker in preseason with his explosion to block a punt.

[AsianRice]

inexcusable to injure our ST superstar player....he needs a serious timeout....

[Perfekt]

Big difference between making a mistake and taking out a star player.

[rmw10]

OK, that doesn't excuse a mistake of that magnitude though. If we need to bring someone in to return punts, you have to imagine Trawick is the guy to get chopped unless Jensen gets IRed instead.

 

Oh yeah not excusing it, just thought it was interesting since it happened pretty early in the game.

 You guys are acting like he accidentally shot Jacoby in the leg while playing with a gun. It's an extreme reaction and laughable. Really.

[gabefergy]

Well I think its more of a matter of not having other players to put out there. That one play doesn't make him terrible at ST, but its a huge mental mistake.

What's laughable is you can't see the magnitude of that error. He may as well have shot Jacoby in the leg if it turns out that he is hurt for an extended period. I don't know if I have ever seen a more idiotic play on ST.

[rmw10]

Without a doubt.  I do think it speaks a little bit at least considering we have guys like Levine and James who didn't see near as many snaps.  They are ST guys.  I'm not trying to draw too much out of Trawick getting every snap, but I do think it's interesting.  He did make a huge mistake and I do think he's one of the first one's on the chopping block if we need to make a move.

[blackbird29]

Sadly I don't think he is going anywhere.

[Jalxsu]

It's one mistake... these things happen.

 

It was embarrassing, destructive, and happened early in his first game.

 

It doesn't make him a bad player. If you cut everyone after they make a mistake, we'd have no team.

 

Give the guy a chance, if he doesn't improve then by all means cut him, but we've barely seen anything of him, and he has to have something if the coaching staff feel he deserved a roster spot as a UDFA.
