So Fox, Grbac, searcy, Kevin Johnson, Willis and his $40 mil deal, McNair and his $32 mil deal, deion, Trading for Fabian Washington's deal, and I could find more if I took the time.

That is what I am figuring right now.

It isn't the 50's anymore. These guys are paid far more and are supposed to be in better shape.

I think he was hurt before he came. I think it was the same problem he had the previous yr and came back.

No you don't get it. If they don't sign him long term before then he has to play the whole season under the franchise tags price. If that happens his cap number can't be lowered for space.

Really. I thik under the Shack Harris era was great. He picked up really solid guys who were effective for the Ravens. Most high priced FA's the ravens get now are not that good. I have made the list many times.

So they will get a deal done with Rice before July 17. So is this a guarantee? I guess there will be no injuries during the season so nobody will need to be signed during it.

Screw Willis being a contributor. For what they paid him he should have been more useful. Birk has been OK. They needed more and he has gotten much worse over the last few yrs. With FA pick ups you should look pre and post Shack Harris. So Goose, Adams, Mac, and others were guys Shack found. Since then the FA pick ups have been inconsistent.

They don't hit. They don't do anything but run through plays. It is basically as my coach in high school said "mental reps." It is getting used to the other guys on the line who are new.

Well learning MMA he can learn great use of leverage to be better. That is why Kelly Gregg who didn't have the physicall attributes was still so good.

It is dumb to kick the can down the road. Let some guys go.

But week one was really the exception than the rule. There is no reason why he can't get to weight and be on the field.

Well they have done so many counter intuitive moves you never know.

No the cap doesn't go up. The NFLPA made a deal to not let the cap go down this yr by pushing future increases to this yr.

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/06/18/tarps-could-be-coming-to-miami/ So I guess that storied 50 yr waiting list the skins have is a fake.

Yep again. Also they need to build a relationship with the rookies and new parts on the OL. There is no reason why he can't be 100% healthy moving around in shorts and a t shirt.

yep

Then I don't get holding him out. They need to see him with the other 4.

Really? Housh, Evans, Mike Anderson, so many others.

He also played like ass many weeks.
