varaven45 Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 Anyone know the timeline for his return to the practice field ? Rough idea ? Quote
Robjr83 Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 On crutches I'd still have him ahead of Dickson. 1 Quote
papasmurfbell Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 He isn't comming back this yr. It was dumb to give him the return designation. Quote
Oldschool739 Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 Have to agree with smurfie on this one, if he could come back from the injury, it won't be in time for him to get in good enough shape to make a difference....Asa is supposed to be back now but haven't heard a thing about him.. Goooo Ravens !!!! Quote
ravinmaniac52 Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 I think he could be ready for a playoff run Quote
Oldschool739 Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 I think he could be ready for a playoff runAnything is possible, just not likely....Suggs was a freak, and Ray's was not as bad of an injury, so to assume Pitta is gonna come back from as bad an injury as this is wishful thinking in my estimation....Go get us a TE Ozzie, that ain't totally washed up..... SB Champs.....All yr loooooong !!!! Quote

You are trading froma position of weakness now and you will not get a good buy. The LT trade was for later picks. Quote

Oldschool739 Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 Asa has an eight game suspensionI thought sure it was a 4 game suspension ......i'll check it out. Goooo Ravens Quote
Oldschool739 Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 You're right, it's 8 games this time, it was 4 last yr for the same violation....I'm surprised he didn't get cut after this second one..... Quote

Oldschool739 Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 Asa is put 8 weeks, this was his 2nd go aroundI see now, I had it mixed up with his first one and didn't realize it was for the same violation...I was thinking we could use that speed in several places, but he may end up getting cut anyway.....I like the Monroe pickup, and an arrow pointing to the hot dot cart for BM....lolWe should try to trade him for a TE or slot receiver..... Goooo Ravens !!!! Quote
papasmurfbell Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 You're right, it's 8 games this time, it was 4 last yr for the same violation....I'm surprised he didn't get cut after this second one.....Like I said during the summer I figure they will wait until he is elligable to comeback. If they don't need a CB then they cut him. If they do they get a cheap one who has not counted on the 53 man roster all that time. Quote
thundercleetz Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 I'm not going to doubt modern medicine. The Ravens have one of the best medical staffs in the league. If Ozzie gave Pitta the designation to return I am positive he got favorable reports from his doctors. That designation is too important to take a chance with. Quote
Oldschool739 Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 We know it's age catching up with ya. I'm gonna add a little Ginkgo to the Cappo in the morning, if I can remember....lolThat's one of the perks of getting old, you can blame anything on it and it works.... Goooo Ravens !!!! Quote

That designation is too important to take a chance with.I would not use it on an injury that takes 6+ months in most cases. Hey if it is an injury that keeps a guy out 2-4 months when the injury is in the summer or 1-3 months in season that is fine. Quote

Hey if it is an injury that keeps a guy out 2-4 months when the injury is in the summer or 1-3 months in season that is fine.I agree with you but there is a lot of information we do not know here. We waited until Pitta was a month into his rehab before using the designation. My only point here: in Ozzie we trust (and our team doctors). Ozzie wouldn't have made this move unless the doctors agreed. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 There is no way of knowing that. Ozzie is the only one in the front office who like Cody. He does make poor calls sometimes. He could have made the call against them. It could have been a John call that he rubber stamped. Quote

We can try to be Google doctors but in reality no two injuries are the same. Ozzie wouldn't have given him the designation if the doctors said there was no chance of Pitta coming back. This call was no doubt influenced by the doctors. Bisciotti isn't paying them the big bucks to be ignored. Quote

SB Champs.....REPEAT !!!! Quote

SB Champs.....REPEAT !!!!You're completely missing the point here, but you're actually making mine. How do you know his injury could be career threatening if he came back? Unless you have an inside source you're reading the same speculation everyone else is. No one on this board has seen Pitta's medical records nor could explain the science behind his injury. Bottom line, this is a call made heavily influenced by the doctors. Ozzie would not have given Pitta the designation to return unless the doctors said there was a safe, realistic chance to return.
