cravnravn Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 @SI_PeterKing Peter King Ravens would have interest in Shawne Merriman w/2 big ifs--if he passes physical in next 24 hours, and if it's a relatively low-money deal. https://twitter.com/#!/SI_PeterKing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yagersports Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Is this guy really the answer? I'm betting the answer is.....ummmmmmm no. I hate being so negative, but honestly it's embarrassing watching such a talented team stink it up like they have. It's a miracle that we're not 2-4. If I'm to see the glass half full perspective I could say that good teams find a way to win despite playing badly. We have two games left before it's midseason. I hope we start playing better soon!

OutsideRzAcE Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 We only rush 3 guys...where would he fit in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmax Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 He doesn't fit...it's just media speculation....trying to find him a home. The Ravens have plenty of LB's and DE's who can't rush the passer.Why add another one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thundercleetz Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 I think he would fit perfectly in our scheme. He would thrive on the other side of Suggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmax Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 (edited) I think he would fit perfectly in our scheme. He would thrive on the other side of Suggs. Huh? Once he got off the roids he became an average Joe...a gimpy one at that. Pete agrees...It's the elephant in the room, but let's face it: Shawne Merriman, essentially cut last week by the Chargers, is going to have the scarlet letter "S'' on his chest unless he has at least one more very good year in the NFL. In his first two San Diego seasons, Merriman had 27 sacks in 27 games, and missed none due to injury. In that second season, he was suspended four games for violating the league's performance-enhancing drug policy. In the third season, he was still good, with 12.5 sacks, but suffered a knee injury late in the season that plagued him into the next offseason, when he should have had surgery but went against the advice of the Chargers and tried to play the next season with no operation. He couldn't. So in the last three years, he has missed 18 games due to injury and had only four sacks. Knee, calf, shoulder, Achilles. "He's had these muscle deals,'' coach Norv Turner said the other day. Fair or unfair, one of the byproducts of some performance-enhancers, obviously, is muscle and soft-tissue injuries. Merriman will be shadowed by the steroid suspension until he puts another good season together.Read more: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/writers/peter_king/10/17/mmqb/4.html#ixzz12lAOdLRL Edited October 19, 2010 by vmax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papasmurfbell Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Maybe he can teach Suggs to use Roids so Mr Big Contrqact will be good again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
