The more I read/hear of this, the more I want him to come up to OwingsMills after leaving Laurel today and have Ozzie sign him.

TO was a malcontent who never admitted to him self nor others he was one. Phili may have acted out of self defense, fear of the Hernandez situation, but things don't add up. Even Owens was traded, so why not Jackson? His antics on the field with showmanship, gang signs, the reports of him not practing hard, yes practice, and his affiliations offf the field all add up. I know, it is very difficult to cut off childhood friends, but when they are involved not just in gangs, but in murders, seems to me, cutting them off can't be too hard.

so many questions to answer, why not just take a conditional 6th round pick? I am not buying their excuse of not wanting to push a toruble player on some one. if he is on the up & up, some one is going to get a star dirt cheap. it would be funny if New England signed him.

Blount is now a Steeler,,,,,,

Fake story, another facebook hoax.

Once is all it takes and I believe it took 10-15 mins to fix. What's the big deal, so players can't dunk over the goal posts, whoopie.

They have been in talks with him for some time now. It is a matter of where he wants to play. Several teams are after him, all around the same money.

Just to update- he was indicted on aggrivated assault charges http://www.pressofatlanticcity.com/news/crime/courts/ravens-ray-rice-indicted-on-charge-of-aggravated-assault-on/article_1f5f5e80-b5e9-11e3-b57b-0019bb2963f4.html

Max, it is not just about injury also about how long the game gets delayed if & when the posts get bent, the time needed to fix them. They could have split the difference and said dunking is fine, grabbing or hanging on a penalty, I suppose. However, now the posts will be five feet higher, that is both an injury risk not only to the players, the personnel on the field and fans but also a longer time to repair. I do agree I am not happy with the way NFL has gone or is going, but this was a pretty clear and right move.

They had no choice since they are looking into highering the goal posts, up rights. The wind will be bad enough making them sway, but dunking, given how last season they bent, could be real trouble. good move.

A Spags guy, decent in both run support and coverage; lots of potential, has yet to reach it apparently. If he can reach his potential he will start, other wise he will be a back up at yes, strong safety. He had one really good year with the Rams, under Spags I believe. But injuries, hammy (sucks) and a big head maybe, cost him the past few.....

Yeah, the wall breaking does look like Taylor's hands when catching a pass...................

That is what addiction does to some one. I hope he wants & gets the help he needs.

Except it goes against everything the Ravens said last year; they wanted to get younger. So adding two 35+ year old players is; getting younger? Frankly, I love the guy, smart, crafty smart, tremendous instincts, but no wheels. He just can't get there any more. This would be a good move from a coaching stand point, but nothing more. The Ravens know Ben well, no need for any ideas from former Steeler players.

Yeah, that must be it, what he has no faith left in his former tight end who is, even at this stage, far better than Ed. odd for sure.

I have to say, shocked they would be looking to bring Dixon back. His questionable hands, poor routes and average at best attempts to block all speak to not needing him. Daniels is out there, as mentioned in the article, a good blocking te in Furstenberg is on the roster and the draft is 3 rounds if not four rounds deep with tight ends all better than Dixon.....

Pepper him with insults just because he left? I was never infavor of drafting him, didn't like his attitude in college, thought it would carry over, guess it did. You can pin the wins on him all you want, all you are doing though, is doing exactly what you claim I, and others are doing to him, only in reverse. He was not the reason they won, nor is the reason they lost last year. My point always was and will be, he was over hyped, has not realized his potential, largely because he has a bad work ethic, Why get so defensive about the guy, I now ask you? I never said which tackle he was better suited for, only that thereason the team drafted him was for the left side. Yes his quickness is there, but without proper direction, it is good for nothing. Yes, he can get to the 2nd level, but is almost always off target/out of position and misses those blocks. He has no strength, reason why he cannot move anyone off the LOS, why? Because he does not put the proper work in the weight. These were the same questions that surrounded him coming out of college, but the Ravens took a chance on him, just as they took a chance, albeit much, much smaller, on Gaither. I am only comparing the two in regaurds to their work ethic, not in the types of people they are.

Oh please, Kip Vickers could have helped this team wina Super Bowl two seasons ago, does that mean he was good? No, Oher was drafted to be a left tackle, but he did not put the work in needed, just as Gaither. So they bounced him to the right tackle in hopes that would 1) spure him on to put more effort into his training and 2) solidy the line. Neither happened. On talent alone you saw how "good" he was, with more effort he has the tools needed to be excellant. That is not just my opinion and no I do not rank players based on what a TEAM did.....

Yes, his work ethic is and was questioned, but the media wouldnt dare touch the darling.

that is only because the earthers put it on a diet.....

Google makes this too easy---- http://twentytwowords.com/massive-australian-earthworm-can-grow-up-to-9-feet-long-7-pictures/

Yeah, the hype was all from the movie. In the end he ws not much different than Gaither; size, talent but no heart.

Depends on how long he is....... does a 35 year old hamstring work the same a 25 year old one? something about chickens & counting comes to mind....

2-17 is a horrible average pal.....

You would think he would have learned......
