Apparently Frank Gore neglected to realize his team just hired a new hard-ass coach, he is NOT a FA, and he has a vast and extensive injury history.

I think that he deserves it, if not something close to it. He has been their offense for years. They can give him this one big deal.

Player can't even be officially signed yet. I'm not sweating anything yet.

I think the Raven's biggest issue is Cam Cameron. As a Steeler fan, I was thrilled he didn't get fired this off-season. I think the potential lock-out kept him. With the uncertainty, it would put the team behind to install a completely new offensive system. I wanted Bruce Arians gone, even though the Steelers went to the SB. I would be in chat rooms and we could call BA's plays because he can be so predictable. Ben is at his best in the shotgun, because he calls the plays.

Maybe Frank Gore realizes that hard-*Bleep* head coach is going to do jack on offense without Gore.

The Ravens are going to sign Vickers and will try to work in a pass rusher. Other than that, do not expect to see any outside FAs of quality signed by the Ravens.

I don't think any of us know what we can do with the team as it is right now. The offense is largely unproven, the defense is very old some places and very young in others. If Flacco is the real deal, the offense will be fine. If he is a serviceable QB, the offense will be what it has been for the past 3 years...which is just ok. Last year, he spent a lot of time doing his best impression of a chick in a horror movie (running for his life/on his back). If he has time, and if Torrey Smith can get over the top of the coverage, stretching out the cover 2, then Boldin/Doss/Dickson can work the middle of the field. I can see David Reed running Mason's sideline/comback routes. With Boller, and every other member of our QB carousel, I wasn't impressed by their abilities to make the throws. As long as they can find a WR that can work the sideline I don't think we will miss a beat.

Nate Clements released. Making Room for Nnamdi?

Could Clements play SS?

**wickedsolo** · 07-27-2011, 05:37 PM

Niners release Nate Clements....making room for someone???

**The Excellector** · 07-27-2011, 05:39 PM

They overpaid Clements in the first place.

From Aaron Wilson responding to a fan on twitter:

RavensInsider @kyadams12 Malcom Floyd is a name to keep an eye on. Going to repeat this again: Nnamdi Asomugha isn't coming to Baltimore. Too expensive

I'm guessing Aaron is starting to get tired of the Nnamdi questions, I sure as hell would be. Jeremiah W I hope you read the last part of the tweet over and over again until you get the message LOL.

I for one hope Nmandi goes to San Fransisco. He'll be out of the AFC, and like someone mentioned on twitter (can't remember who) it might make Manny Lawson available to a team with pass rush needs (i.e us).
