[BR News]

To make room for the additions to the active roster, the Ravens parted ways with tight end Daniel Brown and placed Kendrick Lewis on injured reserve.

It's so good to see Taliaferro back from his injury even if he only plays special teams for awhile.

[law215]

They keep adding RB to the roster but still pass the ball over 65% of the time. If Webb or Weddle goes down, who can 'effectively' step up? LT is a better cover guy on special teams so hopefully he can spark the coverage unit or the run game.

[dirtybird66]

he'd be a great 4th and 1 back now wouldn't he? he always makes great plays.

[eze17]

Don't really expect to many tears to be shed for Kendrick Lewis leaving...So I guess that Levine is the new substitution, or does Marqueston Huff get the call?

Taliaferro has always been o.k. inside the red zone, or picking up that crucial one yard... wouldn't surprise me to see the Raven's employ him as the 3rd/4th down short yardage back as well as a needed boost on special teams.

[omar586]

good thing they're giving young guys alook.

Weddle goes down season over.

I'm guessing buck will be inactive since he doesn't contribute to special teams?

[Halshayeji]

So that leaves us with four running backs drafted in the 3rd and 4th rounds. All four have untapped potential but there's absolutely no guarantee that they ever reach it. I hope one of them just clicks and separates himself from the pack sooner than later. For now il gladly welcome LT back and hope he continues to develop as he was prior to injuries. Good luck LT! Keep grinding and for gods sake get us those 3rd and 1s and I'm good if you average 1.1 yards a carry

taliaferro needs to stay healthy. i hope he can be that short yardage guy for us. another bad free agent signing in kendrick lewis. front office has not been elite these past few years and the current roster proves that.

I'm sure Lorenzo is SOOO much better than Brown on special teams. First time he tries to make a tackle, he'll get hurt. Reads article, shakes head.

I am missing Dan Brown already, again...... ?

I bet he could have blocked better on that touchdown attempt that Kyle.That was a sorry attempt.

[Crusader]

Brown seems like on of the those guys that plays better when the lights are on. I'm not impressed yet with Klye.

As usual your limited knowledge of football has led you astray. You don't use a guy who is 6'5"as a lead blocker. It would be too easy for a defensive player to get low and under his pads. Not only he DB 6"5" but he also has an upright running style which further disqualifies him from playing fullback.

I wonder which back will be inactive. I don't see them dressing all 4. Probably will be Buck again.

[cobrajet]

Is it nice to have Taliaferro back. He and West run hard.

[Ravensfansince03]

He cut Daniel again smh. Can't wait till Harbaugh is fired after this season. This guy is killing this organization.

[Ravensfansince03]

Daniel Brown was the one underdog on our offense that I thought deserved a opportunity to show if he could be a starting WR. I've lost faith in Harbaugh's ability to run this team, or any team for that matter. We are losing games and he keeps making the same moves over and over again. You would think with the lack of success harbuagh would have just let every single WR on our roster get a shot on the field. At least that way everybody including the fans would have a good idea of what we are working with. Instead this guy keeps trying to force things to happen.

Cutting Daniel Brown is a reason for an HC to lose his job? I'm not sure another HC will bother to pick him up, let alone have him on a roster and cut him.

I've heard some interesting reasons for why we should fire Harbaugh, but that may take the cake.

Just BC you have this man crush on Dan Brown has no bearing on Harbaughs job. What has brown done outside of a couple catches in preseason last year and a TD catch that was called back? Nothing. I like the guy too dude but come on. Stop letting your emotions fog your brain.  The Coaches see these guys EVERY SINGLE DAY. They know much more than we do and they know who belongs where. Just stop. Your losing all credibility with statements like this.

I think we've been told time and again that the coaching staff makes these decisions TOGETHER.

I haven't seen the Ravens give Danial Brown a full chance. He did a good job when he got in. He's a big receiver, why didn't a chance in the red zone, No, Harbaugh made him a tight end, like we need one. Harbaugh said who plays is made by the assistant coaches. Isn't that your job? Get more involved in coaching decisions.

[mrc724]

What has the FB done since he was drafted, oh, he's from Harvard. He can't run, falls down when he catches the ball, can't block. There are probably many hard nosed FB's out there. Then there is Hester, a one trick pony, as a punt returner. Has be returned anything, all I've seen are fair catches and downed kickoff in the end zone. Cut him and put another player that can do something on the roster, Hester is washed up. At least Jacoby Jones could catch a pass now and then.

Harbaugh is mismanaging this team so badly.
