[News] Ravens Sign Three Players To Active Roster

If you throw enough mud eventually some will stick to the wall.

Now I remember Clay. He will fit right in on the Ravens. "Most people remember Clay from his blunder against Oregon. The receiver caught a pass and seemed like he was on his way to a 79-yard touchdown. But Clay dropped the football before he crossed the goal line."

[Crusader]

I really wonder how many players are the Ravens going to go thru before they realize its their coaches?

[Crusader]

It would be nice to see the opponents Chase Ford.

lol im not going to do your work.

We are really scraping the bottom of the barrel right now.

The barrels been scraped through...

Neither Ross or Jackson cost us anything in dead money. They are both are UFA after 2015 and both were cheap to begin with.   We're good in that respect.

In 2016, correct. 

 

In 2015, both cost us "dead money", though its incredibly insignificant.

 

Ross cost us $26,400 in dead money, and Asa cost us $71,212 in dead money. Basically $100K between the two of them.

I can't wait to see these guys and hope all of them can help us for we do need help!!!

[FloridalovesRavens]

Get over it people. We have run out of play makers. They are all on IR or PUP and this team will continue to try to win whether some fans like it or not. The Ravens will continue to fight for wins THIS season whether or not the fans agree with that. I applaud them for it. Go Ravens!

[thieverycorporation]

I need to see the guys play is all I can and will say at this juncture. Put them In coaches. Put em in.

Run some college style plays if needed to get a feel for there potential. But exhaust all efforts to evaluate them. Practices can happen on the field of live play at this late stage of the game. I'm truly hoping that some of these coaches are let go after the season. Epic failures in that dept. should not be tolerated in our efforts to rebuild this teams infrastructure. Steve should also look into the FO's tendency to whiff on numerous players. It's painfully obvious there is a disconnect between the evaluations process and the selection of the players. If they clean house during the off-season and raid some teams with proven scouts in certain departments i.e. receivers and cornerbacks for the sake of argument. I see no other team using the Ravens model of drafting. They have taken a page out the book as far as gathering comp picks but little else. Lastly the tape doesn't lie. Snippets from the internet can go along way to aid in evals. No, not solely, but thee enthusiasm and projections may also help the coaches in scheming/spying there opponents. We won't get all of the prospects we'd like but the fall back plans in the first two rounds don't address the notion that if this guy doesn't produce as expected then we have to live with the initial results because the BPA strategy/free agent doesn't allow for it. It's truly mind boggling how the Ravens never addressed the fact that receivers counted on may have been and seemingly are one hit wonders. I'd take an aging vet with maybe 5 good years and a sustained track record of success hasn't been utilized. Smithsr's don't come around everyday but there are options with better tread wear becoming cap casualties every year. The youngsters need role models both on and off the field. The coaches on the field teach technique, work ethic, and film study. Player's like SSSr teach all of the aforementioned and displays it in live action. I'm sending my scouts out with a dedicated blueprint and concrete checks and balances in order to semi guarantee that level of success. A player that had one maybe two miscues in character/errant routes being run shouldn't preclude them from consideration. I'm not looking for a headache either. But for as much money as they've doled out to player's that haven't/couldn't product. They have control of these malfunctions because they control the purse strings. Loyalty only goes so far. Talent 9/10 wins games. If the steeler's, Pats, GB can field once considered no-name brands year in and out. What's wrong with that picture. The Cowboys get honorable mention but I don't particularly care for the total support of the players that have domestic violence, Drunk driving with injuries, handgun problems. We are human but we would have to draw the line somewhere. If the player came in with any issues not as serious and was put on notice that they wouldn't get payed after being properly vetted and or adjudicated of the issues would probably go along way to putting together a quality product to be proud of. Un fortunately you can't engineer the NFL injuries and bonehead mistakes of the societal nature. But you can rid yourself of a headache by directly addressing the possible problem with cost cutting measures inserted in contracts. Using the, What have done for me lately approach to contracts would be prudent as well. After, further review of the Pitta debacle. So what if the prized player scoffs. Let someone else pick up the player and take the risk. Wish them great luck in life. And have confidence in your abilities to scout the next up and coming talented player. Loyalty is overrated in the NFL. So is the alter boy type player. They don't often play in the NFL, they watch the NFL games. Looking at us play-I'd think they're cursing louder then me….lol.

Check out this link - it is current.  The Ravens have $22.5 million in dead cap space, 6th worst in the NFL.

Jeremy Ross fumbled four times, losing two, last season with the Lions.  He fumbled twice this year, losing both fumbles.

Ross had 2 fumbles this year after only 10 returns.  Last year, he had 2 fumbles while returning punts, 1 while returning kickoffs and 1 while receiving.

 

Apparently the FO believed that the fumble risk wasn't worth the value his return ability brought...
