somewhere in Baltimore theres a skunk holding his nose, saying we stink... PLEASE make good use of the early draft picks... GO RAVENS

[iluvpurple]

These sound like pretty good signings, and I for one, am ALL open to making this team the best it can be..... If it's a revolving door right now to find what we need, than so be it. To not pursue guys to make this team better continually, whether doing great or not so great, would be to give up, and that would be wrong in my eyes and heart.......

[Ravensfan4life2010]

Can we like promote another WR to the 1st team, it has mainly been RB's or Defensive mostly defense. We have receivers that 1 out of every 10 plays gets open but for the other 9 can get no type of separation. I believe I read a comment on this site talking about how Aiken runs a 4.4 or something like that but jeez he looks so slow, brown has been a disappointment so many dropped passes, can't run routes cleanly what's wrong with him? is it the new WR coach

[sofgman]

More unknows ... Again.

[Bob21043]

How bout some new positional coach signings???

[fusuymada]

Why did we waste Charles James. Clearly a guy with talent so why did we sign him to the practice squad, promote him, then cut him and then lose him back to Houston when they claim him off waivers. That was a waste of talent, time, effort and everything else. If he stunk it was a bad decision to sign him? If he was good, why promote him to cut him? Not to mention all the resources wasted including coaching time, travel expenses, etc... This kind of operating like a chicken with their head cut off is what is making fans think there are deep rooted problems in this organization and this is no quick fix.

[January J]

It's the Practice squad guys- it's not gonna be big name guys. What do you expect ?

[ellicottraven]

Oh well. We need players to fill out our practice squad that have some potential. These two obviously fit that bill.

[Crusader]

Remember "Kool-aid Drinkers" saying "Its only preseason" Well, that 1-3 preseason showed Ravens have no depth and now they're out shopping again for blue light specials.

pet peeve.. "they're out" not there out.

[cbrook1862]

Do whatever it takes

[ibleedpurpleandblack]

Oh goodie, more practice squad players to go on our practice squad in hopes of one day soon being our starters....

[EliteRavens]

We'll see how these signings pan out

[RavenSB13]

It Doesn't matter. They will get released next offseason

[purpledown]

pitiful to see the Ravens grasping at straws every week.

[steelcityraven]

It don't mater if we have Reevis and Sherman as our CBs - Pees will make them look bad and then say they were washed up when we got them! What DB has looked good under Pees? Which one has grown under Pees? Can we name 1 DB since 2011 who has gotten better for us? Can we name one DB since 2011 (when Pees took over) who hasn't gotten worse for us? What else do we need to see. This is not a knee jerk reaction. This is a 5 year trend and a pretty large sample. We cannot name 1 not 1 DB who has gotten better under Pees reign! NOT 1! in 5 years. Many left and played better... many played at a high level and came in and played worse! Why can NO one be successful in our system?????? We have went backwards 2010 (before Pees got here) we avg giving up 16.9 points per game, 2009 -16.3 /per game and 2008 -15.3 per game. Pees over the past 3 years. 2015- 27.5 pts per game, 2014 -19 points per game and 2013 -22 points per game. This trend is alarming and no matter who we bring in they are not good enough (but good enough when we let them go). WHat does this tell you in a large sample? That our system doesn't work! Our scheme is broken~! Get rid of Pees and get rid of him now and yes in mid-season. THat gives us 10 games to work with a new DC and makes for a much easier transition next season - why wait until camp when we can get a new system established now???? Pees gotta go!

The negativity in this fanbase is unbearable. It's ugly right now, yes, but you'd think this team had never graced success and every member is entirely incompetent. Have some guts and believe in the guys who brought us a Super Bowl ONLY TWO YEARS AGO! (Pees has to go though)

[stixfix69]

I like both of these guys, and i think Capi was brought in, because we still need that pass rush opposite Doom, and Z is a rook and learning the ropes, and Capi i feel will be on the field soon, if he does as well here as he did in the Jags camp....And gotta love Prices size 6-2 198, not as big as Melvin but could bulk up a tad...At this point any CB who can play will probably be needed soon as we are on the same pace as last year, losing DB every week.....

The problem is this team had such high expectation and haven't lived up to them yet,so we focus on negativity because that's what this team has on there plate.

[PalmBayRaven]

We are now ranked 28th in the league. Huge fall from starting season in top 10. We have a better chance of getting the #1 overall pick in the 2016 draft than making the playoffs. Let's hope and pray we can make that pick count. Make this upcoming draft meaningful. We can pick 1st in every round. Think of the possibilities. Leave no stone unturned due diligence. Lots of time....

[Dfence4champs2052]

Oh yeah! This just looks like that undrafted FA gold we are used to! Ship will be righted! Yeah baby!

[January J]

Every single team in the nfl cuts and signs guys like this to their practice squad throughout the year. It's not us "grasping at straws"- this is routine football. Give it a rest with the Ravens are so desperate narrative just bc they are losing.

[Zeus]

Let me guess they have knee problems

[Crusader]

Which one get injured first? Or which one get yelled at by John first?

[Crusader]

All you hear is the injury excuses when there is only one guy on that list Suggs that's proven and instant impact player.

[provemewrong2052]

well get ready for carson palmer to rein bombs on this secondary he always lit us up when he was with the bungals he will do it again.

It's a "what have you done for me now" league.  Not what did you do THREE years ago.  So, if they're mired with the worst record in the NFL at 1-6, which they'll be on Tuesday, then we'll probably tend to be negative.  You go ahead and be positive for the rest of us.

JJ Thats right  This happens all the time.  Since we are in last place we see the practice squad guys more than we ever imagined. BTW: I checked the Steeler site and their team is on one page.  Landry Jones looks so good Ben can rest further into the season and be fresh for their playoffs. The way they prepared for the Cards tells me through comparison that Coaching is the prime weakness we have.

[Russell_St_Bullies]

I still have hope for shareece wright ... only problem is that i have zero hope for PEAS... anyone with an 8th grade education knows you can't play a speed guy like Torrey w/o having a Saftey over top. the whole league knows that CJ Mosley suffers against the pass... and yet we don't see adjustments. We see musical chairs / but we can't even blame this years' poor DB play on injuries... the one man we expected to be out the door (an aging Webbie) is actually playing the best / so odd... it's just like SSSr, who is the smallest, oldest and most injured of our WR's and he's killing it). I'm not saying our Defense is a Bentley (when it comes to talent), but we definitely have an Audi... and with the right driver, we could be looking much better. We need a better driver behind the wheel.

it has to be the coaching. There are numerous signs that are pointing that way and they just keep ignoring it thinking The problems going to fix itself.
