yagersports Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Ravens resign Prescott Burgess. I knew Foxy rushed back too soon!! Does this mean his season is done or just the next 6 weeks???? When this guy is healthy our secondary will be pretty formidable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yagersports Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Done for the year, once a player goes to IR after week 1. Wow, if he's done for the year, that doesn't look good for his future prospects. He should be feeling better by now and looking to come back in October right? I guess we're going with Jimmy smith after the bye huh. Hopefully we take our time and let him heal fully. You start bringing guys back too soon from strained muscles and they just re aggravate! Maybe we could pull off the rare impactful in season trade??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunno Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 They really need to reevaluate how they go about determing when to take people off of the PuP-list in training camp. I think NE handles this a lot better than the Ravens. Foxworth never should have come off PuP in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yagersports Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Whats puzzling is, we IR a DB and sign a LB'er.... Right, don't we have Kindle just waiting to get some playing time! How much better can Burgess be??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldno82 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I don't have a clue why Kindle isn't being given a shot and isn't our cornerbacking really thin now?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmax Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I'm sick they kept Foxworth and let Wilson go. I'm sure it was a CAP thing My guess is Fox is done as a Raven. They'll reach an injury settlement and move on. As for Kindle...he's not ready to be on the field...too many guys are better than him and Harbaugh only plays the best guys. It's that simple. This is an elite defense. It's the Ravens defense and unless injuries decimate a position you are not going to get on the field and jeopardize the other 10 men.One day....maybe...Kindle will be a valuable contributer. Until then, I don't want to see him until the coaching staff thinks he's better than who they have on the field.I actually think the guys not too bright and that's what is holding him back at this time. He's got the physical tools, but he has to master the mental part of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutsideRzAcE Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I'm sick they kept Foxworth and let Wilson go. Me too. The secondary is the Ravens biggest weakness IMO...pass rush has helped cover it up in week 1 and 3, but only in the same way makeup helps cover up fugliness. At this point we can only hope one of the younger guys steps up. As for Kindle vs Burgess, they play different positions. Burgess is more of a inside backer and that's what we need right now with Ellerbe hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papasmurfbell Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I agree with the pup evaluation. As for Prescott, I bet it was for special teams reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenology Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I agree with the pup evaluation. As for Prescott, I bet it was for special teams reasons. I was thinking that as well because of what happened with Jimmy and how we are even thinner at CB now. Let a linebacker get down and dirty on those kickoffs instead lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colincac Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I'm absolutely disgusted with this move. We could've cut him and moved on before the season, one of Ozzie's rare bad moves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, he paid Foxy starters money, and he never really helped us, he had a decent stretch the end of the 09 season and thats about it..This is as bad as drafting Boller.

RavenMad Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 I'm absolutely disgusted with this move. We could've cut him and moved on before the season, one of Ozzie's rare bad moves. Was it not shown that cutting Foxworth would have resulted in a cap hit and we were tight against the cap as it was. Whats puzzling is, we IR a DB and sign a LB'er.... I think we signed CB Danny Gorrer from the practice squad and cut Phillips before the Rams game as we were benching Foxworth so it is not a surprise to see them replenish the LB core again. I am a bit surprised they didn't sign a safety though with Nakamura being banged up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His cap figure for this year is 7.4 and they would have saved 4 mil by releasing him with about a 3 mil cap hit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papasmurfbell Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 At the min they should have puped him. Maybe after 7 weeks his knee would have been ready. They were not going to cut him because of the lockout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RavensDomination Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I just don't understand how his knee couldn't have been healthy by that time. Who did his surgery Dr Nick from the Simpsons? He hurt the knee way back last July. He had a year to rehab. Lockout or not, that's more than enough time with modern technology. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papasmurfbell Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Not everyone heals at the same pace. Also since there was a lockout there was no team oversight on his rehab. I still think the way that injured players were handled dousing the lockout was a violation of workers comp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
