Re: Bryant McKinnie talking to Harbaugh
It would have to be the right deal, but sure, the dude can play. When he wants to.

Re: Bryant McKinnie talking to Harbaugh
Harbaugh called to ask if his neck size changed for the dog collar. Seriously though, no Oher at LT.

Re: Bryant McKinnie talking to Harbaugh
We need someone to play the LT spot (other than Michael Oher) in the short term while we try to groom someone from the draft.
We are extremely unlikely to get a chance to draft any of the top three guys (Joeckel, Fisher, Johnson), so we're going to have to find a diamond in the rough (Menelik Watson, Justin Pugh, Terron Armstead, Luke Marquardt, etc) later in the draft that we can bring in and have them learn behind someone else for a year (or two).
McKinnie is the perfect player to get that done. On a one or two year deal, with incentives built in, and workout bonuses, etc...he can play the position, but we don't want to tie our cart to him long-term.

Re: Bryant McKinnie talking to Harbaugh
people always give Big-Mac crap, but all I ever see is a guy who keeps people away from Flacco on a consistent basis, maybe the most underappreciated Raven of all time.

Re: Bryant McKinnie talking to Harbaugh
If we bring back McKinnie and draft an LT to develop, I'd be perfectly fine with that.
Just as long as Oher playing LT is not in that equation at all."A linebacker's job is to knock out running backs, to knock out receivers, to chase the football." - Ray Lewis

Re: Bryant McKinnie talking to Harbaugh
One of the more encouraging O-line developments I've seen so far.

Re: Bryant McKinnie talking to Harbaugh
I wasn't a big fan of Harbs doghouse when Antwan Barnes was in it. From the outside looking in it looked like coach was cutting his nose off to spite his face... I'm a believer that the Ravens have one of the brightest minds in the business patrolling the sidelines. He's smart enough to make adjustments in his methods.
I'm a believer if any player should call Harbs doghouse home it was McKinnie- Last March or there about he recieved a 500K bonus with the agreement that he report in shape and I'm sure on time. McKinnie not only waffled (no pun intended) on that agreement but also didn't feel it important enough to inform the staff of why he was late nor the circumstances behind it. Eventually his Chiropractor called... I mean you can't make this up...
The end result was Harbs methodology worked, he has the ring to prove it. McKinnie was not a victim.
If they are willing to sign him it needs to be an incentive laden deal, he's proven over his career to be a guy that cannot be counted on to self motivate. McKinnie is quality but I'm a believer he could have been so much better with dedication.
