I here ya on the Buck situation. Makes sense. I totally understand about it being early with Young and Dixon. But I think saying if they get injured they might not stay at that level is way unfair. Its part of the game that everyone has to deal with and it's just a freak thing sometimes. Young has guarded Antonio Brown all over the field, and Eifert out wide from the 5 face to face in the in zone. Giving up NINE inches and probably 85 pounds. The guy is a stud. And Dixon is a no brainer to me. Fred Taylor 2.0 Looks amazing all around as a 3 down back. But I'll give you that rbs get beat up, and his running style is viscous. Hopefully he eat and trains right, and learns when and when not to initiate contact. I agree with you 100% about Judon and Pierce. I'm ridiculously stoked on both of them. I just really hope they don't use Pierce as an excuse to let BWILL go. We can't let him go. It would take to long for me to list the reasons why but the ravens better not let it happen. We cannot let our self made tench mauling all pros go. I understand KO got paid a couple extra per year but dam! And I wasn't saying just bring up Camp for 1 reverse a game. I would love to see him take over or split return duties with Hester. I also think it would be wise to give him 8-14 snaps a game as a wr. Sometimes filling SSS to keep him fresh and other times out there with him at the same time. Streak Wallace and Perriman down the sidelines with Camp and SSS crossing the field-dirty. I'm curious about Willie Henry, I was stoked on that pick too.
I think we have some serious foundation pieces moving forward. I also think there are key veterans that I'm hoping stay around for another 1-4 years.

"But I think saying if they get injured they might not stay at that level is way unfair"  I am not sure why that is unfair.  It is just a fact and part of the game.   I was saying this in response to your claim that Young and Dixon have been our best picks in years because really that statement only holds true if they continue to perform at a high level.  And if they get injured they may not be able to do that..  There have been lots of players that have fallen off after their rookie season and its for a variety of different reasons. I am just cautioning you not to count your chickens before they hatch, thats all.  I am not saying they haven't played well this season.  Unfortunately BWILL is gone, and it sucks but its going to happen.  The sooner people come ot that realizatin the less upset they are going to be when it happens  Hopefully Pierce can soften the blow a little bit.  These are the tough decisions that the front office has to make and if you look at the big picture I think you will come to realize that its a necessary evil.

Speaking about the Eagles and our last regular home game, how about Justin Tucker singing the national anthem, it would be awesome.
