Oh yes shame on us for saying a player who had never seen a snap in a game for us was expendable.

You have to remember also this guy wasn't in our training camp at all last year and even then he never dressed for a game. Didn't join us till after the last cuts so he didn't get to impress and progress in our system. Now he has the chance and he is taken advantage. "Please Sir can I have some more Teal?"

Um, what?

Check this link:

Quinton Teal

He's played in 28 games for Carolina over 2 seasons, and was signed as an undrafted free agent on 05/04/07. He's mostly played on special teams, but he's seen some time at safety as well.

I think having two young players like godfrey and marshall on the same side is a bad idea, but I think they will develop into a nice duo. You have to remember that marshall is getting used to a new position and godfrey is getting used to a new player in Lucas' spot. I say let them start together throughout the preseason and see how they develop before any decision is made. I saw them both make mistakes monday, but that is what the preseason is for, to see what works and what doesn't

I really think they should consider it if Teal continues to impress. Nothing against Godfrey, because he was decent for a rookie safety. Teal just seems to be more of a play maker. I'd like to see him get some time with the ones this preseason.

Teal Played mostly with 2nd and 3rd teamers. So I say No

Davis at Safety...

Exactly. I know they draft BPA, but damn! If someone is on the board that is already good at their position, draft him and develop him to be better! Do Fox and Hurney think our coaches are so bad that they can't develop any one and instead have to rely heavily on the talent of the individual player himself?

I still dont understand why we pick a player that played a certain position in college then we move him. Back to back drafts, we draft a CB to be a FS and a FS to be a CB. Wtf!

The same way a Big LB can be turned into a DE or a small DE into a 3/4 outside Lb or a skinny DT into a 3/4 DE.

Bobby Bowden started doing this a FSU. Taking big safety like Derrick brookes and making them LB's.

Because some players don't translate to the same position and are better equipped for another.

Teal was playing against second and third stringers, this was one preseason game. Why are fans so fuging hasty? Damn one preseason game and people need to be benched after starting an entire season.

Teal picked off a third string QB staring down a receiver and throwing against the grain. That is an easy play, it doesn't make him Ed Reed. I do love how his 28 games were rationalized to seem like he has had playing time. He has 25 tackles in those 28 games from special teams and one start.

Save the "bench ________" threads for when they are actually playing real games. This is preaseason, to say that starters are playing all out is crazy.

Peppers didn't do anything, lets bench him.

      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.
