Bennett Retires

What the hell did we do to deserve this stuff? How do you come in for a workout, say you are ready to sign a contract, then just do this. Wasted our time and now we are in an even more terrible situation.

Thanks Drew Bennett and thanks to the front office. LETS GO YAMON FIGURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

now watch them bring in a joe horn or harrison and they’ll retire too.. we’re screwed

How are Michael Vick’s hands?

I heard this on the radio driving into work today. To be honest I did chuckle a bit, but that’s some horrible luck.

wow. whats next? Clayton injured during camp?

They don’t still have to pay him, right?

9-7 at best with these receivers (lack of receivers). well, it was a good career for Flacco. now we get to watch him triple pump and get face planted when Clayton can’t shed a LB.
i hope heap and dwilliams do the ’ol NFL hand hold prayer for Flax as they watch injured from the sidelines.

The teams that have the big named WRs who are they and where were they last year during the Super Bowl? Yes Arizona has two of the biggest names in the game and was in the Super Bowl but they lost. Ward at one point was one of the bigger names but truly no longer is, the Steelers only passed last year because they had to, not because that is normally what works for them. New England yes had a great season with Moss year before last and did well last year considering they were using a at the time nobody backup QB, but Moss came into a system that already had great passing numbers with average WRs.

Look at who we have:

Figurs, Yamon 16 Wide Receiver / Return Specialist 5’11"
As a return guy he is used to having to run in traffic, he has darting sped and the ability to change direction quickly. He needs to develope more at this level but he is now 27 with 3 years experience.

Williams, Demetrius 87 Wide Receiver 6’2" He has good height, decent speed and yes he has been rather a hit and miss, but this will be the first time in the 4 years he has played for the Ravens that he will have a returning starting QB who hopefully will make it through the whole season able to start every game.

Washington, Kelley 15 6’3" good height good speed, always been hidden behind a field of big named WRs. He may finally get his chsnce to show what he can do. He is physical and shoud be a good inside WR with the chance to catch someone sleeping and run the deep play from time to time.

Riley, Eron 13 6’3" also good height, a rookie so he is unknown at this level 4.29 40 yard (so speed no doubt) 40" verticle leap on top of his height will have him being able to reach the ball over the arms of coverage, and he can run after the catch, sophmore and junior year at Duke he averaged 20 yards per catch. This kid could be a sleeper, he is good just maybe at this level and with a team that could have depth to run a balanced offense he could become a star from the word go.

Wheelwright, Ernie 17 6’5" not the greatest speed, or route running(this is something that can change), but good height and would be good as a TE and special use WR

Foster, Jayson 8 Wide Receiver 5’7" is really on the short side and at 175# small but that could be used as to his advantage because he could easily be lost in traffic. Young very athletic played QB in college just another possible wrinkle to be mixed in with Troy Smith, Flacco and any wildcat style play.

Smith, Marcus 81 Wide Receiver 6’1" 215# he is athletic, very physical, good speed for his size, has been one of the more spotlighted players during this offseason. He was a go to guy in college and is ready to shine as a pro. Watch this kid he seems to have a drive and desire that deserves nothing but respect.

Clayton, Mark 89 Wide Receiver 5’10" was recorded as having a 38" leap decent speed at times questionable hands but at the end of the season last year was seeming to become a more reliable target. As it stands now he will be our #1 WR so his number will go up with that being said and hopefully hin and Flacco can develope together.

Ealy, Biren 8 Wide Receiver 6’3" good height, young dumb and stupid off the field with his recent arrest. Maybe he could wise up and mature, but at least he gives us someone else to look at and maybe keep on the practice squad to see what happens.

Smith, Troy 10 QB/ maybe WR 6’0" good speed and ability to run and scramble and is use to being under pressure of being in the spotlight.

Michael Vick, simple if the Ravens sign him, I have been a Ravens fan from day one, even when we were losing, but I will never watch a Ravens game while he is on the team. I would become a Steelers fan before that happens and I truly hate the Steelers…

agree about Vick. i’ll boo the hell out the idiot. he’ll be the only player to get booed after scoring a TD at home.

Eron Riley and his 20 YPC is suspect considering Duke stinks and other teams were frequently playing a soft prevent up by 30 every other game.

DWill is injury prone

and pitt won the SB with Ward, Sweed, and Holmes who made a ton of nice catches.
the runner up had 2 greats. you need balance. I can’t think of many division winners going into camp with 3 of 4 WR positions up for grabs. even the 2000 ravens had Ismail, Sharp, Stokely, Johnson lined up (and greatest D of all time)….and we squeeked in as a wild card team.

Clayton is being elevated by the media to a status he is unfamiliar with. he’s not a #1by NFL standards. he might be one day but we are going off facts as of today. not wishes.

figurs has fumbleitus. he can’t hang onto the ball. will he down the road..maybe. fact please.

wheelright hasn’t done anything except practice.

foster would be a gimmick guy. his size gets away with it in high school and college but with the speed in the NFL he’ll probably get hung up at the line or flattened in the slant. i see him as a returner if he makes the team. RB’s get away with being shorter because their built like rocks. not 170#.

Do you think Burress will be reinstated

they should both contact the vikings, stir up a buzz and then leave for the Arena League.
