according to this hurney was at the browns/packers game scouting one of the browns DTs. sounds like he listened to beason...

sry if this has been posted, i looked and didn't see anything about it

I was just about to post the same thing and according to the observer he was out to scout Corey Williams. I am extremely excited about this kid after I did a little research on him. He played at Green Bay in 07 and 06 and was an absolute beast. He had 7 sacks both years and Green Bay used the franchise tag on him after the 07 season then traded him to the Browns. He flopped with the Browns but only because he had to switch to a DE in the 3-4 and he also a a shoulder injury. He is listed at 6-4 324lbs although I think he slimmed down a little to play that DE spot, I've heard he was down to 310, he is also 28 years old and can play either DT position in the 4-3 system. Word is that Mangenius doesn't care for him because he doesn't fit well in the 3-4 and they would be willing to part with him.

If Williams could get back in the 4-3 with Peppers, Johnson, Brown, Brayton, and Lewis then I think he could get back to the 45 tackle 7 sack seasons he had with Green Bay. Oh and don't forget the quality linebackers he would be protecting, Beason could run around again and make a ton of plays. Can you imagine the impact he would have on this defense, how drastically we would improve overnight??? I'm telling you, if Hurney can pull this off it could potentially be even better than the Chris Harris trade. I would be willing to part with a 4th or 5th rounder for this guy.

True but that's probably who they were looking at. I just don't know what we can give up to get him. I really like the guys we've got on the roster and I'm sure Hurnery does too, so it most certainly has to be a draft pick but a 3rd seems a little high for guy we are not sure could help right away.

Thats a very good point. I couldn't find it anywhere else except Charlotte Observer, not even on the cleveland news paper mentione in the report. Williams didn't start against the Packers and only played about 3 plays on the first couple series. Not sure if it is him but I guess he makes the most sense out of anybody. I wish the Observer would follow up with their freakin story. Anyways, a 4th or 5th round pick for a backup who they might release anyways is a pretty fair deal I would say.

      Maxx Cosby deal with Ravens off.

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      Having trouble finding all these articles saying the Raiders withheld information. Here’s the latest from Crosby’s surgeon: ElAttrache told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Wednesday morning that Crosby was "doing very well in the early part of his rehab and recovery from surgery to treat a significant meniscus tear and the related stress injury to the bone and cartilage in his knee. He is certainly on track in his planned program." "We truly respect the work of the Ravens' staff with Maxx regarding the contract physical exam. We also understand the challenge the staff faces when tasked to provide a future risk assessment based on an evaluation early in the recovery process," ElAttrache said. "This is especially challenging when dealing with an elite player like Maxx considering the level of commitment necessary for a team to obtain him. The timing of this assessment is unfortunate because the apparent risk will lessen as his recovery progresses and his return to performance over the next few months becomes clear."     So the Ravens excuse is the future risk assessment based on the physical, not that the Raiders withheld information. They found an excuse to save face publicly. They had the right to cancel the trade for no reason at all, but they’re trying to save face with the most acceptable reasoning they can find. I’ve heard and seen the Ravens getting dragged everywhere for this. You know what would be an easy way to put a stop to that if you’re the Ravens and the Raiders were actually the shady ones withholding information? Just come out and say that you were not given all the medical information. But they aren’t saying that. I guess they’re just taking the bullet for the Raiders just because?    Speculation indeed.

      Hendrickson to Ravens

      Two first round picks for a guy with very questionable knees who will be 29 this summer. Yes it is safe to say the Ravens got cold feet.
