They had a heap of injuries to key guys. They still have a good roster and have a strong recent history of being a good-great football team. They have one of the best GM and HC combos in the league.

Nowhere close to an "lol" decision.

 

 

 

they are going to be trash next year too

I think like 6 of their best players were on IR last year. It was an anamoly. They have a really talented roster and a great HC.

Yes. Ozzie Newsome knows this and that is why he's going for it now. Signing 31 year old Weddle and 35 year old Ben Watson. Possibly even Mike Wallace as well.

So much for wanting to stay on the West Coast too. Oh well, guess if he wants to wait a few yrs for that ring, go for it, we'll roll with our guys. Raji retiring at 29, that is sort of shocking. Best of Luck to him.

 

He is a big man that has taken a lot of beating, realizing he was looking at close to vet minimum he made the smart move.

Weddle aside, the Ravens are not good. They are the definition of an 8-8 team when healthy, which is what I pegged them for last year. They just have a complete dearth of talent at the skill positions for players that aren't hurt, and their defense isn't good enough to compensate anymore. On the injury front, Smith's Achilles is no joke, and Flacco's late ACL/MCL tear isn't going to have him healthy going into camp, no matter what he says. Is Perriman ever going to play? Who else is there? Justin Forsett? Crockett Gillmore? Kamar Aiken? Meh. It's still early, but I'd be surprised if they were relevant next year.

 

Weddle wanted money. He got money. But let's not pretend the Ravens are remotely good.

Congrats Weddle on getting paid for your last contract.  Too bad it wasn't for a contender like you stated.  But $$$ talks and BS walks.  Not upset at all by this, would I have liked to see him in the Black and Blue sure but am I happy we didn't over pay for a 31 year old safety. absolutely.

      Houston Texans... You Suck!!!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Was just reading the Ask the Old Guy story on the team's website and was shocked to see that only two 2nd Rounders have signed so far, 30 of them haven't. That isn't normal, the Texans really screwed things up for the rest of the league, no other explanation that I can think of for 30 of the 32 picks to still be unsigned at this point.

      Canales Addresses CB position

      They need to address CB before season starts. This is not going to cut it.

      Rodgers to Pittsburgh confirmed

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it wouldn't be Rodgers leading them on a postseason run, it would be the defense and he's there to not screw up their great games. Which is why..... This times a million. I didn't watch a ton of the Jets last year, but from what I did see, Rodgers himself didn't look like a bum, the team just struggled and was more than likely due to poor coaching on the whole.  The Steelers don't need MVP level Rodgers to win games, they just need him to be good enough to make some plays when it matters because the defense is keeping them in games every week regardless. In their 7 losses last season, the Steelers scored 10, 13, 17, 17, 17, 19, and 24... while giving up 19, 20, 24, 27, 27, 29, and 34 in those games.  With only marginally better offense last year, they probably end up winning a few more games too. They only scored over 27 points in 3 games last season. I think this is a great move by the Steelers and if Rodgers can stay healthy all year, will get them back into the playoffs and could make some noise if their defense is up to the normal level of a Steelers defense.
