Can't believe we couldn't wait one season to cut Monroe.

Who promptly retired and isn't playing for anyone else even though he had several teams interested.

Glad to hear Reynolds is having some good showings as well as bad ones. Kinda expected it for a person trying to learn positions at the NFL level. Still kind of hoping we can sneak him onto the PS.

I said it before Lewis is a beast who plays with a attitude....The great thing about Lewis is he is not stranger to LT...I could actually see Lewis, and Stanley being our Bookend Tackles in the not so distant future......

Glad to hear about Lewis doing well.

Kenneth Dixon has all the tools to become an every down back. I really think he is going to be a special player. Marshall Faulk was much faster, but Dixon's game is very similar as a receiving threat and in the open field. Dixon is more of a punisher when he wants to be though.

I dont blame him, he is now pushing for something more important than playing football. He would still be playing if it wasnt for us cutting him because of his stand on medical marijuana in the NFL.

Because SO MANY teams have capable back up left tackles. Most teams don't have good starting left tackles. There will always be negative nancies making irrational statements......... And if you're referring to keeping Monroe, the man retired even though teams were offering him millions of dollars. And he couldn't stay on the field for us and was overated when he was on it. So what did we do? We drafted a durable 4 year starting left tackle from a major program that we thought was THE best LT in the draft. give me a break

His heart wasn't in playing football. He got paid. He would still be playing if he wanted to play. It has nothing to do with us cutting him.

I prefer players who actually desire to play the game and play the game with heart, you know, ones that play like a Raven.

Good thing it's a minor injury and he feels confident going forward! I'm so pumped THIS OUR YEAR!

Sigh. It is what it is. Other teams have not faired as well as we have. It really isn't just the Ravens even though it feels that way.

The patriots had just as many injuries and a shuffled offensive line last season and they were still in the championship game against Denver.

A toe injury sidelined Ogden at the end of his HOF career, too.
