More Ravens Defense Casualties

Well, more bad news. He had been talking to the media for a while about this, but cornerback Samari Rolle will be put on the waiver list on Monday. Is there no loyatly to this city, the team. Are all you guys businessmen, that just want money & whichever team pays you'll go to! That's fine! We'll rebuild, we'll bring in the people who care about football & want to play. Who care more about the fans than money. So good, you want to go? Go back to Tennessee or wherever, Rolle, we'll be fine! There's still time to think/strategize about what players we need to recruit & before the draft. I trust Newsome's judgment, although we'll have to see how (Ryan's replacement) Mattison picks. Keep the Defensive tradition going in Baltimore!

Good News & New Blood! RAY LEWIS IS STAYING IN BALTIMORE

Now, after all our losses noted we do have some good news to announce. [drum roll] According to the Ravens website, "After a storied 13-year career in Baltimore, Ray Lewis will continue that tenure after the Ravens reached an agreement on a multi-year contract with the linebacker Wednesday afternoon." w0000t!!! It was a little nail biting to think Ray would leave us, but it looks like he's gonna stay. We need the leadership (especially with the new players coming in) & he is our face player. When anyone thinks of the Ravens the main person they think of is Lewis, how can you take that away!?!?? There is still some contract ironing to finalize the agreement over the next couple weeks but basically its official. PHEW! Now to the new hires: we got new center: Matt Birk from Minnesota & new cornerback Domonique Foxworth from Atlanta. These new guys seem pretty decent Birk is a six time pro bowler & I think he'll give Flacco the protection he needs. Foxworth, I don't know too much about. His stats show he's made 1 interception each year, for the 4 years he's been playing. He was on the Broncos but then only in Atlanta for a year (so I don't know what that says). He is from Maryland though, grew up here & played for the Terps, so hopefully that plays a role in his success. We'll have to see what these guys are really capable of come game time, but I think they'll be good for the team. Let's hope Ray can make them better.

More Losses: Rex Ryan taking all defensive players he can in the league

Yes, I'm sorry to announce more players leaving us. Most of these free agents I expected to leave, but now its official. Bart Scott announced last Friday that he would be joining Rex in NY. Then, Leonhard announced yesterday he would join Scott on the Jets no surprise being Rex's favorite (he brought him to Baltimore & started him). Then we had the news of our center Jason Brown who signed with a huge ($37.5 million the most any center has received) contract to the Rams. What the hell is going on here!!! Flacco is saying he's not worried, but I don't think he/we will see these ripple effects until next fall. Now we have to go from here, take these losses into account & salvage what we can for next season. Also, these losses will be a factor come draft day, more to come soon (like a few minutes).

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.
