True my friend and yes, I knew what you meant and agree, not good when your players are involved, that is a lot of time spent being deposed, away from football for several. I think the niners are going to be looking up this year.....

Max, they signed a player they new would be suspended for 6 games with a "problem", another who is on his 3rd team in a year. Yep, I would say they are desperate.

Keep in mind Dc, most states now have an arrest first policy when an accusation of domestic violence against a woman is brought to their attention. Even when the woman changes her mind on the scene. So this could be more of nothing, not saying it is, but could be.... So if the prosecutors decide to go through with this, what is Ray suppose to do if he truly is innocent? Plead it out, let it drag out, call on his constutional rights to a fair & SPEEDY trial?

Where did I see it? Come on Papa, you know how they think, they have been talking about this for years. We will have to agree to disagree on this, if they sign him, great, if not, even better as i won't have to dodge news crews on my trek's around here....

He is not worth the spot for the Ravens on the ps. They prefer multitalented players who can play special teams, or have a unique skill set. Neither of which, no matter how much coaching, will Sams have. One can only increase speed so much, he has short arms, is not athletic to being able to cover is out, and again, they have a guy on the ps just like him, with a little more skill, albeit not much more, in tackling in open space.

From NFL dot com... The dredded P word, very raw....

They could not keep Holmes, the salary cap would not allow it. They didn't tag him out of respet for him. As I recall, they ran the ball pretty well, the reason they didn't repeat was because of the pouting done by the players over the Dilfer release and a piss poor offensive line/

Yes since Simon, as I said, is the same player basically, who is already on their practice squad. So why sign another player to the ps, with the same skill set, but a boat load of baggage that comes with him, not his fault, obviously.

He is a one dimesnional player, why would the Ravens want him? They were interested in him as an undrafted player, with plans to put him on the ps, but after seeing him in pre season, it is clear, he can't even play special teams, too slow, not a good tackler in open space. They have that in Simon, identical players..... I'm glad they kept Hurst and Urban around, two very good, potentially, players.

http://www.foxsports.com/nfl/story/49ers-de-ray-mcdonald-arrested-on-domestic-violence-charges-083114 Not a very good offseason for either Harbs coaches, numerous off the field issues for both teams, and suspensions to go around..... Get to it Goody.... A felony charge, I wonder wht he is accused of doing, not that fox would do their do diligence by reporting the actual charges.....

well, according to ESPN, per a source, breaking news, he will not be claimed off waivers and free to be the first openly gay black man to sign on some one's practice squad. Then there is the first openly gay blackman to be on an NFL roster. Next, the first openly gay white man, then the openly gay hispanic man, then islander, then, then, then......

Football expanding to Europe will be the death of the game.

niners lb Ray Mcdonald the first under the new policy to get accused of domestic violence........ Goody to the rescue.....

Bothers is a bit strong, but yes, this was much a do about nothing since he as a 7th round pick. Now, a higher pick? Say 3rd or better I could understand, but this the first to do what ever is getting old. Hasn't man already done everything first? Why seperate by skin color or sexual orientation? Maybe we should find out who was the first bald man to get drafted, the first one to wear glasses or go comando.......

Champ is now a free agent, not sure he can cover any more but might make a good safety....

Yes, too many and with his skill set, unable to really cover, even in zone, they needed the roster spot for a more all around player. They are granted I think 3 extra spots, with the injury pup, and two suspensions. However, when/if those players come back they would have to release players, so who knows what they will do... Go into the season with 53 or 50.

Breaking News! According, anyway, to the media, a 7th round draft pick was released............. Yes, he may get picked up by another, so stay tuned, we will keep you updated with all the latest 7th round draft picks who get cut or sign with another team, that is, unless they are not gay......

I suppose if Wenning makes it through waivers he will be on the practice squad. The Jensen cut could be simply making room in case a better player is cut else where. If not, maybe they bring him back, on the cheap if he is not picked up.

Irsay took a plea deal, this should be interesting over the next week to 10 days to see what Goody does now.....

Maybe I am reading this wrong, but the writer is incorrect. A 2nd offense would mean life time ban. Also, if assault & battery are included, this means that if a woman wants to get her bo in toruble, she can report him for cussing her out, yelling at her, which is assualt. I do agree hitting women is wrong, but people get mad and yell, degrade each other, this should not be a 6 game suspension. I wonder, is hitting a man, getting into fights included in this? If a gay player hits their significant other, does that fall into this category?

Yippie, again, pre season against scrubs. Let us see if he can regain his form, then we can chat more. Frankly, I hope he does, the Ravens are desperate for help in the secondary, obvious by this move and the clearing of cap space. Most in the know saw this move as desperate because of his track record. Keep in mind, the Ravens were playing a simple defense, straight zone alternating with straight man, not complicated, even for some one on the team for two days.......

They have, some what. They say they will stick up for the players, blah, blah, blah. There isn't much they can do since they gave his office the power to level any type of punishment when it comes to actions detrimental to the league. The key here will be what he does with Irsay when he cuts a deal or is convicted. Goody better come down harsh or there will be a huge outcry from the NFLPA. I think, on this issue, it should be 6 games first offense, a year for the second and then a life time ban, with mandatory theropy inbetween. Similar to how they do the drug testing, 3 chances before major penalties. A life time ban is a major step for what can turn out to be a he said she said, especially when the man is only defending him self, sometimes walking away is not an option.

One play in one game against guys who will not be playing in the NFL this season.... again, he was cut THIS year, twice, once by SD who gave him $20 mil last year, once by Mini in this FIRST cut downs. Maybe he comes back to his rookie form, maybe he doesn't. Stats do not tell an entire story, but the Jags, who need corner help, let him walk, SD, who needs corner help cut him, and Mini who needs corner help cut him. Those people know more about him and this game than you or I.....

I wouldn't say for sure, but he certainly looked great last night. He played with a confidence he lacked before. Good routes, catching with his hands, running his routes crisp. This should be an interesting decision.
