Re: Marlon Brown
Theres nothing unreasonable about wanting to know if the player is actually going to see the field or be injured/hurt. Health is one of the biggest issues, particularly with him. He may not be able to prove itll hold up an entire season, but hes already missed time due to inflammation. He keeps putting in work without it swelling, thats going toward proving it wont be an issue down the road. So far hes yet to prove that. Even if hes fine after this game its still going to be a questionable because it did two weeks ago.

Re: Marlon Brown
I'm not saying they should go into panic mode. Let's be very clear here though. Most of the excitement about our WR's (beside Torrey and Stokley) is centered around an undrafted 2nd yr. WR (who nobody knows how hurt he is) and 2 rookies (1 drafted in the 7th round and 1 that was also undrafted).

Re: Marlon Brown
Panic is nothing more than a feeling of anxiety and a reaction to it. So what does a panicked FO look like? How about a panicked GM alone? How do they function when "panicked"? I have no idea, but WRT optics, Ozzie gives nothing away. Nor do other top GMs like Smith, Dimitroff, Reese or Thompson. So while we didn't *see* panic, I don't think it's crazy or un-Raven-fan-like to believe that our FO was feeling it three weeks ago.
Bringing 37 year-old Stokley in here was certainly a "panic" move anyway I can objectively look at it, b/c it was a reaction to the realization of anxious situation: oh isht...we're now down to one healthy, reliable, known-entity among 12 primary pass catchers. And I don't that it's unreasonable to think that the existence of that anxiety is undeniable...unless you think/thought that the FO anticipated Pitta going down, Dickson pulling a hammy, DT getting hurt, Doss under-performing, and JJ12 ...well, being JJ12. (Ok that last one, I'm sure they saw coming).
Was Stokley the best guy on the street? Yeah, I believe he was, and I'm glad to have him. More so, I really hope that anyone under the age of 25 can take over a more permanent role for '13 and beyond...DT, Brown, Mellette, anyone."The Ravens are not taking Jimmy Smith at 26!" -- Me, the day before the 2011 Draft

Re: Marlon Brown
Successful people don't panic. They analyze the situation and take appropriate action

Re: Marlon Brown
One thing we have seen with this FO (especially since Jamaal Lewis went down leaving us with the Rhetts/Allens of this world) is plans and preparations.
Cost nothing to get Shancoe in for a look and he knows the system and the facility if an emergency arises.
IIRC Dallas Clark has a roster bonus of 65,000, so hasn't cost us anything yet to also take a look there.
I don't see or smell panic, I see a very methodical turning over of options, evaluating what is there.
We still have the wild ride at other's final cutdowns, and the last 2 or 3 positions are not fully safe because there could easily be a discarded vet arrivingat one point of my life I was exactly Pi years old

Re: Marlon Brown
Very true. An individual has a choice on how to react to any situation. A panicked and anxious reaction to our pass catcher woes would have been to offer a 2nd to Arizona for Andre Roberts or something. I even think that we didn't even have to evaluate anything at all on Aug 8th/9th; our short list was already written-up.

Re: Marlon Brown
So until we sink or swim at WR position, every thread about an individual WR will morph into another "We Need / Don't Need Another WR" debate?
Just want to know so I can pour a glass of wine and watch it all unfold. :D
