I am a big fan of this show. My girlfriend actually made fun of me for watching it then she finally saw an episode and now she is hooked as well. The dialogue for that show is outrageous. And the songs are very well choreographed. Jane Lynch plays an excellent part, she is definitely my favorite character. And John Stamos is going to be a regular character for season 2!

On the flip side if one person can do it that means it is a possibility. Like Welker, Webb has been working his ass off all offseason. Both guys have top of the line training staffs. Of course, you are right, every injury is different. All I am pointing out is that seeing what Welker is doing should be very encouraging for fans when it comes to Webb and Washington. Welker's injury was worse and did not have surgery until months later than Webb and Washington.

Yeah, Shefter suggested we might be able to send one of our running backs over to Denver for one of their cornerbacks. However, I see Willis McGahee as a big part of our team this season. I hear he added a lot of strength this offseason while still staying in excellent physical shape. It looks like he is embracing his role on this team as a short yardage/goal-line powerback. Good to see Willis out there working hard.

Well, we don't have Frank Walker so 80% of those penalties will be cut

I didn't think so either, then I see video of Wes Welker out there full speed running and cutting in Pats practice agaainst the Saints. Welker tore his ACL and MCL in January (Webb only his ACL). They let the MCL heal on its own first, so he didn't have ACL surgery until February. We will have see with Webb, but you have to like his chances to be a major contributor this season.

Haha that's hilarious. The guy was clearly so embarassed.

Good stuff from Rice and Flacco on ESPN about the new direction of the team. http://espn.go.com/blog/afcnorth/post/_/id/15745/video-on-the-road-to-camp-ravens

Shefter suggests that the Broncos could be a match for us. I don't know anything about any of their guys though.

Thanks for sharing! Ladarius sounds like a cool dude. I hope he can come back 100%.

I have a friend in New Orleans who is a die-hard LSU fan. He told me "not to hold out much hope" for Hawkins. He says he has solid size and speed, but only sees his potential as a solid nickel back at best.

The guy just cannot get healthy again. He was recovering from his knee injury and then his achilles started to bother him. Lets see how he is in a couple of weeks, maybe he can get back to how he was in the try out. Either way, we need bodies.

Both guys are probably going to be held around through out the preseason to see what they got.

Considering that McClain is a FA next season, I'm sure we will find a spot for McLaughlin should he prove that he is a candidate to be our starting fullback next season.

I love Brett, I hope he comes back.

Thanks for all the updates guys, SO helpful! Keep up the excellent work!!!

Yeah, I completely agree with this. Gaither is no dummy despite how immature he acts. He knows the money is at LT, not RT.

I mean sure this must be a little troubling for Harbaugh that Gaither did this on his own however I don't see this as a big deal. Everyone knocked Gaither's work ethic and now he shows some kind of discipline by losing weight. He could have done it to ease his nagging injury pains, he could have done it to make a statement that he doesn't want to play RT, or he could have done it for his long term health. Right now I am taking a wait and see approach with Gaither. Gaither is in a contract year, he knows he has to play well to earn millions. He wouldn't put himself in a position where he would be pushed around on the field.

Well in Showalter's first two gigs the team won the World Series the year after Showalter was fired. So I would have no problem with your plan

Here is some good stuff from Tony Pente on the Orioles Hangout. You have to like Showalter's controlling attitude.

This move definitely scares me as a Ravens fan. TO has plenty left in the tank. He is still an elite athlete in this league and is very dangerous with the ball in his hands. Covering him and Chad is going to be very difficult. I am not sure if TO is going to put up huge numbers in Cincy, but he will certainly have a large impact in the form of taking pressure off of Chad, Benson, giving Carson another legitimate deep threat, and keeping the defense honest.

I don't think working out is the problem with Cody, it is the diet and appetite problem. When you are that big it is extremely difficult to eat less.

I think David Reed will make the team pretty easily. He is going to compete as a return man and will be a special teams contributor. Guys like Clayton and D-Will do not play special teams. So that leaves one spot left. I would like to see Justin Harper continue to progress from where he was last training camp. Even though the guy had bad hands, his route running and deep speed were very impressive and much improved from his rookie season (he was always open all camp and preseason). If his game can take another similar jump, he will stand out. He was gave us great looks on the practice squad last season and I hear he has been working very hard on his hands and in the weight room. I am pulling for Harper. Everyone knocks Mark Clayton, but the guy just simply is not a #1, or even #2 receiver. But as a #3 receiver in the slot he could give us mismatches with his quickness and elusive ability. He understands the offense and is a good route runner. He just does not have the speed to play on the outside and still has problems getting off the press. He could be valuable as a slot receiver though. However, he does not play special teams. He has a great attitude, is a hard worker, and is a team player. The is also a durability question with Clayton. So, I think it will be either Clayton or Harper. D-Will we just have no idea what to expect out of him.

I wouldn't be too concerned just yet. Cody is a big guy, we paying him to be a big guy, a first and second down player. Harbaugh in his quotes did not sound too concerned. Here is the deal with Cody. We drafted him as a 360+ pound project. Cody is still very much a work in progress as regards to his weight. Just because he failed a conditioning test does not mean he has not been working out, it just means he might not be quite where he needs to be or that our training staff thinks he has a little more while to go. That is what I got out of what Harbaugh said. Cody needs a little more work before he is ready for training camp. For a guy who was 370+ pounds in February, we knew then that it would take a lot of work for him to be ready for an NFL training camp in August. The same goes for Walt Harris coming off of an knee injury. Because he failed his conditioning test does not mean he has not been working out, just that his knee is not quite where it needs to be in order to compete at the highest level. Our training staff is just making sure that Cody and Harris are ready to compete. They do not want guys who are not physically ready to go out there and overwork themselves to keep up with everyone else risking injury.

The story now is that Kindle woke up in the middle of the night at a friends house, couldn't see in the dark, took a wrong turn and fell down the steps.
