Pass rushers I like in no particular order. Christian Ballard DT/DE can move up and down the line. Adrian Clayborn DE Absolute stud. Jeremy Beal DE absolute stud. Cameron Heyward DE He can be moved around to create mismatch problem. JJ Watt DE He is chaos on the field. Cameron Jordan DE Another mismatch problem on an OL. Von Miller DE/OLB I think within 2 yrs he would supplant Suggs as the primary pass rusher for the Ravens. Jabaal Sheard DE/OLB He blows plays up. Justin Houston DE/OLB Dude is a beast. Muhammad Wilkerson DT I love this guy in the middle. Corey Liuget, DE/DT True pocket crusher. Allen Bailey DT Can get to the QB in the middle. Marcell Dareus DT A freak. Sione Fua DT Can help crease the pocket. Cory Grant DT Can get in a QB's face. Drake Nevis DT Straight stud. Stephen Paea DT Ngata and this guy would do such damage inside. Sam Acho DE Can cause OL's real problems. Pierre Allen DE A later pick that can certainly help to make a QB's life hard. Steven Friday DE A later pick that can help get to the QB. Eddie Jones DE Solid pass rusher Ryan Kerrigan DE He gets there. Cliff Matthews DE A solid contributor in the pass rush. Pernell McPhee DE A solid contributor in the pass rush. Robert Quinn DE The dude is sick. Greg Romeus DE He could be a steal. Aldon Smith DE I like him. This is what I have so far

Top 5 worst moves by Ozzie.

Part of his problem was our woefully inadequate OL in the run game.

Clayton had Joe as QB. He still was a loser. Same with Dwil.

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=nfp-20110217_ranking_the_nfl_stadiums 14. M&T Bank Stadium (Baltimore Ravens) Seating Capacity: 71,008 Playing Surface: Sportexe Momentum Turf Opened: 1998 Located within walking distance from a really good time known as Inner Harbor, M&T Bank Stadium is the proud owner of a Vince Lombardi Trophy and home to one of the game’s all-time great linebackers in Ray Lewis(notes). However, despite qualifying for the playoffs seven times in the last 11 years, M&T has hosted only three postseason games in its existence, with two of them resulting in losses. M&T ranks in the middle of the pack because as far as I can tell, it doesn’t really stand out in any of the stadium ranking criteria categories. The building is nice, the fans are good, the location is above average and there is some historical significance, but not a whole lot. There’s not really anything else to say. 12. Soldier Field (Chicago Bears) Seating Capacity: 61,500 Playing Surface: A crappy combination of grass and mud. Opened: 1924 After undergoing a $365 million renovation that was completed in 2003, here are some of the things that were said about the new-look Soldier Field: “It looks like a UFO crash-landed on an ancient ruin.” “It’s like a fat man trying to wedge himself into a skinny man’s shorts.” The Chicago Tribune called it the “Monstrosity on the Midway.” You like the view? Still, Soldier gets bonus points for location (by the lake in the great city of Chicago), fans and historical significance. Think about it: This place has been around since 1924. That’s before the stock market crashed! Additional Bonus Points: After catching a game at Soldier, you’re within walking distance of Lou Malnati’s. Soldier Field is a disgrace now. This list is asinine.

There is no need for a black or white world. There is a happy medium where all sides can be happy.

I think it was about 3 yrs ago I wanted to send him to Zona. I think it was right before Harbs took over.

Yeah I would not put reed in that list. As a later pick in this last draft he has been very solid. I would only expect him to be better next yr. I do think the FO is gun shy about WR's. You are missing TT on your list. The past 2 drafts have been so WR laden you would have to be a dolt to miss. We drafted Reed and Smith. The have been pretty good with drafted players on O. I would say that Cousins is a bust. They should let that one go this season. Maybe Harewood can maximize that stud body if his.

Hey I ran into it so I figured I would share.

Maybe the mediator was brought in on teh owners side to look like they are going through the motions. If they really wanted to get it done bring in an arbiter. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-02-18/marvin-miller-says-nfl-s-company-union-needs-to-play-offense-in-talks.html I think Marvin should keep his yap shut. It is not like he hasn't helped to ruin baseball forever.

Thunder If you notice the players you have us developing are basically on D. Gaither is the only offensive player and he was scheduled to be a 1st round player so it was not a huge reach. We are very poor at developing O talent. Even when we have it they don't let them play like Jason Brown and Casey Rabach. Maybe it is a fact that they are so use to not having talent on that side they stick with the devil you know. If in fact that is the case it is a defeatist attitude. This season they only really let their rookie TE's play when Todd went down. Dickson stumbled some but he should never have been thrown into the fire like that. He should have gotten touches far sooner. On D they find gems at LB all the time. They are so good at it. That is why I would never let a guy hold you hostage for a contact.

3 yrs ago we could have gotten a return on Heap. Now he is valueless. I think pass rushing DT should be added to your list.

I do think people will buck when they do that.

http://www.mediapost.com/publications/?fa=Articles.showArticle&art_aid=145273 So ESPN wants to do what the NFL is charging people on NFL.com for. Basically asI am reading this I see that for what we are paying jsut running the game on TV isn't enough. So I wonder if this pushes the NFL to pull their product onto the NFL network when the ESPN deal is done.

We have had those D's over the last decade. I think while shoring up the D to keep them solid you have to make the O go.

Of course you are not. Why would this shock anyone?

Well ultimately if the players get a smaller % then the cap will go down. This is also Al being senile.
