With that playoff appearance I say he is far from a safe choice. If his head ain't right I do not care how good he USE to be.

Give him a few cans of this and let him go.

The pass D was pretty bad until Reed went down last yr. At that point Ziby took over. When he saw things got better with Ziby he played within the D at the end of the season. So Ed has always been fantastic. I remember 2008 (the first yr we knew about his neck) where Ed was invisible out there until the end of the season. http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/R/ReedEd00/gamelog/2008/ Date TD Pts Sk Int Yds TD 2008-12-28 0 0 0.0 2 44 0 2008-12-20 0 0 0.0 2 29 0 2008-12-14 0 0 1.0 0 0 0 2008-12-07 1 6 0.0 2 9 0 2008-11-30 0 0 0.0 0 0 0 2008-11-23 1 6 0.0 2 150 1 2008-11-16 0 0 0.0 0 0 0 2008-11-09 0 0 0.0 0 0 0 2008-11-02 0 0 0.0 0 0 0 2008-10-26 0 0 0.0 0 0 0 2008-10-19 0 0 0.0 0 0 0 2008-10-12 0 0 0.0 0 0 0 2008-10-05 0 0 0.0 0 0 0 2008-09-29 0 0 0.0 0 0 0 2008-09-21 1 6 0.0 1 32 1 2008-09-07 0 0 0.0 0 0 0 So he played like a madman for 7 weeks or so. Last I knew the season was 16 weeks long. Since this neck problem has been a real problem Reed does not play right every week. At times he vanishes and others he isn't where he should be then suddenly he is a world beater. He needs to be more consistent. Unlike some people I do not forget. I remember the screw ups. I watch the trend and Ed is on the down trend.

This town is gonna go nuts when the team tells Ray it's been nice but you gotta go.

Troy has a chance to showcase his talents and maybe get traded to a team that is desperate.

I would walk away from Reed. I have had my reservations about him for a few yrs. As for Ziby and Nak going against Manning or Brady, when was the last time a Ravens team with Read beat Manning? Ziby and Reed have the win against Brady but Brady has a bunch of wins against Reed.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ygqtObuSSE&feature=popt18us12 I was watching the funny parts of the Emmy's on Youtube. So they had this guy Bucky Gunts. He said when that his mother wanted him to be an Oriole. Is this guy from the area? It just seemed rather left field. I had never heard of him before watching this clip.

Will they let him sit in a dead roster spot. He can't be puped. I see him cut and maybe resigned midseason.

If they are smart Cundiff. The problem is the money may effect their call giving it to Graham. Graham may just be about done. What he did in the past should not effect the call.

A base is better. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iMhySXR0hY&feature=player_embedded

He's a mutant. He gave her 4.

This WR draft was great. QB, C, RB was all down.

HAHAHA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcOUCvH4NOI&feature=popt17us13

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMCUJgMCXFk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3u12HDvHzA Did anyone see First Take this morning? I am curious how his date went.

I fully understand how hard the transition is. The thing is in most drafts you have maybe 2 really solid picks at TE. This draft had far more.

With more players on gameday you can make it so no starters will play on special teams. That would elliminate things like Webb's injury. I would also like to see different kinds of pup lists. Keep the openning 6 game list but add a 10 or 12 game one too. That way a player breaks an arm in camp but will be ready late Nov so he could be activated then. Also if you are hurt week 1 you can be activated late in the season. It would be like the way baseball has it.

1983 was the yr of the great QB's. Throw in 2004 also. We have had yrs with a lot of RB's. I am looking at this yr and all the TE's with promiss and wondering how many will turn out. Cincy Gresham, Jermaine NO Graham, Jimmy - If he can translate to the NFL from basketball he will be sick. Sea McCoy, Anthony Bmore Dickson, Ed Pitta, Dennis NE Hernandez, Aaron Gronkowski, Rob Hou Graham, Garrett Dickerson, Dorin - Not sure if he will play TE but that's what he played at Pitt. Also 3 teams went with a TE combo in the draft. This could be interesting over the next several yrs to see what happens.

The evaluation of players and instiliation of plans would be done differently. Since there is no hurry they are taking their time getting prepared for the regular season.

Also they would end up 1-3 in the first 4 games. They were never ready coming out of the gate. That was a point cited here many more times than once.

No Billick's approach was a very bad one. It would get you nowhere. These have not been horrible injuries. Foxworth was just a freak thing. It could have happened in anyones camp.

I have ZERO issue with Rex. What he did is not unlike what happens in most NFL meetings. The only thing is this was put on TV. Also this is not what kept him from getting the job here. I would say Billick is what kept him out. He was in that staff and the players wanted him so they wanted a new message so Harbs was brought in.

Indy Solid D. Very good passrush. As long as Freeny is healthy they are in good shape. They also have that passrusher rookie from last yr who looked good. Offense is elite. Peyton Manning makes a team much better than they are. Their OL is a concern but Peyton gets rid of the ball so fast that I think he will make them better. Brown should be a stud at RB this season. I think he will make their running game legit. I do hope that Indy doesn't pull it off. I like to keep on him about being over rated. I don't want him to have another ring in that the one he has is more on the D and the running game that yr than him. Cincy Very good D. Great DB's. I love their LB's. They also get to the passer. I think Zimmer is a very good DC. The Offense is quite good. I love their running game. It is a the hammer. Their recieving threats maybe the best across the boared in the league. As long as Palmer is right which I think he is going to be they will be very hard to deffend. Dallas This D is very good. They have great passrushing. Thier DB's are ok. The offense is very good on the ground. They have a real 3 headed monster. It will set up their passing game. I think Romo is finally putting it together. They have solid weapons in the passing game. GB Their D will shine this yr. They have a great front 7. Woodson is still a very good CB. They finally have that side of the ball fixed. Rodgers might be the best QB in the NFC. He has all the weapons a QB could want. They will put a lot of points on the board. Ravens The D is good. They can stop the run consistently. I don't see the passrush though. I have zero faith in Suggs to do what he is paid to do. I think the CB's are suspect. They were a underwhelming group then Foxworth went down. Webb will be a very solid CB but i don't think it will be this season. That knee worries me. Fabian has many of the same risks too. This Offense will be good. I think it could be great but the OL has major questions to me. I see the RT being a major problem. I also see problems at center too. If Birk is out I do not trust Chester there. Also if you move Chester to center and you are forced to move Yanda to RT who in the hell with play RG. I just see to many holes. Next yr though I see Harewood starting at RT. That locks that area down. Maybe Ozzie will draft a center and have someone good to back up birk. I hope the passrush is better in 2011. Some of the younger guys can step up.

I have it narrowed down to Indy, Dallas, GB, and Cincy. So I guess the Ravens in 2000 were the best team every single week of the yr. There were never times during that season when they were a bad mediocre team. OK then you must be right with the Pats.

By the end of last season with the vet castoffs they didn't have the experience to rise to the occasion. Welker being gone and tne D still a work in progress lent to a perfect opprotunity to knock them off. This yr I don't think they make the playoffs but in 2011 if there is a season they are gonna be tough. Actually there is not really a 1 in 32 shot of winning a superbowl. I will eliminate now the Bears, Lions, Chiefs, Bills, Browns, Jags, Rams, Panthers, and Skins. I am pretty sure TB will not be good either. So now we are at a 1 in 23 shot. Then you have the middle tier that will fight for the wild card spot which is where I see the Ravens. Also they are in the Playoffs to take a beating for the upper echelon teams. From time to time They do grab the ring but that is very rare. Looking I see the Giants and the 2005 Squeelers have done it. Please don't bring the 2000 Ravens because that is when there were 6 divisions and we had the 4th seed that now goes to a Div winner.

That reads as a person trying to talk themselves into believing. Yes every team has weaknesses. I just count to many and in key areas to win. Actually 10-6 and just getting edged out of the playoffs. Last yr I called 9-7 which I did not think would get them in. Luckily the wildcard dropped a little. They were still not prepared for the playoffs.
