Ravens loose another Secondary: Ivy

Are our players serious?!?! The defensive coordinator leaves & basically our defense explodes. Half the defense become free agents & the other half opt to be released. Last thursday Corey Ivy signed with the Cleveland Browns to reunite with the old team & our old RB Jamal Lewis. But keeping up with our Offense reinforcement we signed Jared Gaither to left tackle. It looks like we're trying to turn the team more as an Offensive threat as well as keeping up with our Defensive strength. Gaither grew up in MD (like our new CB Foxworth) so I think this will add to his playing abilities. We still are waiting on our draft picks so we will have some opportunities to get some good players. Overall I feel that players that come to Baltimore only exceed expectations. Even players that were sub par at prior franchises, when they come to Baltimore they seem to play better than they did before. Hopefully we'll continue our trend of building players to be some of the greatest in the league.

Rolle Out Carr IN! Also Ravens add TE L.J. Smith to the roster

Carr official signed on board with us today. He will be replacing Rolle (who wanted out) who was waived today. Carr looks good to me, to be honest I hadn't seen as much from Rolle as I did from Leonhard this season. McCalister was 10x's better than Rolle but with him on IR Ivy, Washington, Rolle were all doing C-Macs work. Carr was a big part of one of the best Defense's in the leauge. He should be a great addition to our already well known D. In offensive news L.J. Smith from the Eagles will be signing on with the Ravens (according to ESPN). He was pretty good last season (as far as TE's go), he was one of the best back in 2006. If Heap continues to help with the blocking & Flacco gets another pair of hands he could step up our offense drastically. Smith worked with Harbaugh in Philadelphia so that previous relationship should help get the ball rolling with getting Smith some looks. So, the future is brightening up for us.

Cya Later Ravens Defense! CYA!!!

Well, Scott decided to go with Rex & the Jets. We also have Leonard & Ivy on the fence ready to hop over the fence to NY. Now they're saying Ray Lewis is adamant about leaving Baltimore too! Give him his damn money!! He's definitely earned it over the years! You're telling me you're gonna let the player go who's jersey is worn my 99% of the cities fans? That's sooooo dumb! I guess this is a business & you don't care about the fans who put their faith & money into this player since the franchise was brought to Baltimore. Lewis and Biscotti need to compromise to keep the fans happy. In terms of the other players, Scott can leave hes in the same position as Ray old, on his way out (sort of) but Lewis is still playing a lot better than Scott (at least last season). Ivy can leave we need a cornerback & I seen Ivy do nothing. McCalister leaving was a bigger deal. Lastly if they're going to pour money on anyone give it to Leonhard. I think he's worth more than any of these players. Lewis should get money but I would try to give a little more to Leonhard to keep him here. He's probably going to go to Ryan though because the only reason he came to Baltimore & played as much as he did.

McAlister gets cut

Chis McAlister hardly played at all this year with an injured knee that put him on the IR list early in the season. But even with the injured knee there were rumors that he had recovered & there were other reasons (maybe Harbaugh related) that he wasn't on the field. McAlister has been a great asset to the team & the first of the defense roster casualties. The only person from the last season that had played cornerback as well as McAlister was either Samari Rolle or Jim Leonhard (although he was technically a safety). Corey Ivy & Fabian Washington were constantly being beat by WRs last season & their coverage was sub par at best. These guys need to step up their game if were going to keep our Defense reputation or else we need to look for someone in the draft.
