[News] Expect Lardarius Webb To Play More Safety

"Webb leads the Ravens in career interceptions. He has 11 during his seven seasons..."

Huh? Ed Reed has 61 career int's for the Ravens.

I don't know about the best but hopefully will get there.

I expect him to earn his pay in that big contract he got.

May as well do some experimenting here. It's not like anyone else we have on the team has played effectively at that position. It would bring some clarity to our situation, if he were able to play that role effectively. It would make CB that much more of a position of need and not make FS a pressing need - which it has been for a couple years now.

I'm pretty sure it is safe to assume that they are talking about "active" Ravens. Given it is obvious 11 interceptions isn't going to be the all time franchise leader.

hes very intelligent and instinctive, but i have to question if he has that first step and the hips needed to break on the ball at long distances.. if his body holds up i have no doubts hell be an upgrade over lewis, as he is dumb unlike webb, and still slow as molasses. ive been opposed to the move for years now, but i think this is the perfect time to do it, extend the mans career, let him find a niche where he can get back to producing positive results instead of forcing him to do things that his body is incapable of. the man can read quarterbacks and wr's like a book, and has great ball skills, if he can maintain enough burst to capitalize on his great football IQ then we will fill a major void on this team. the issue that this brings up though, is we have absolutely nobody to fill in at CB2. tray walker? shareece wright? *shudders*

Don't forget ... we just picked up Vaughn
