Thread: Lee Evans Available?

Re: Lee Evans Available?
I don't think it is a faith issue, more so a comfort level issue. We've had more proven depth most years than we have now, so it can be a little nerve-racking knowing Boldin is our only truly experienced WR. I would be for both Lee or Housh coming back.
But on the flip side I actually like the youth movement and am for giving them a shot. Smith looked pretty good yesterday at practice IMO.
Again, it's just a comfort level thing for me.

Re: Lee Evans Available?
Last year is really the only year we had "proven" depth

Re: Lee Evans Available?
Yeah but the year before that we had Clayton and Mason, and knew what they were. They were known entities.
Its the uncertainty and unknown nature of the rookies I think that has people wary. Of course if in game 1 Smith breaks out for about 75-100 yards or makes a few nice plays, you will see people's attitudes shift drastically.
What have you done for me lately. Problem is being rookies they haven't done anything.

It's not as if we are starting a rookie opposite Jason Avant. It's Anquan Boldin, with a power running game featuring Ray Rice. Boldin is going to get double teamed. The young guys will see single coverage all day. Flacco is no slouch, I mean, he can, conceivably, deliver an accurate pass.

I can't believe that people would rather go with what is already known to not be enough to get this team over the hump, over some young prospects with the potential to get this team over the hump. How many years are the Ravens supposed to try this with the same veterans?

Re: Lee Evans Available?
And I'm certain you're basing that statement on fact based on watching a significant amount of Buffalo Bills football now and then.
Piling veterans? A single signing equals a pile?
Moving right along...
Drew: 0 catches.
M. Smith: 0 catches.
J. Harper: 0 catches.
Bradley: 0 catches.
Moore: 0 catches.
Williams: 0 catches.
Zachary: 0 catches.
And now...to the vets.
Hardy: 10 catches.
Jones: 113 catches.
I suppose I'm way off in thinking it wouldn't be a bad idea to sign a veteran like Evans.

Re: Lee Evans Available?
That's right we don't need Evans. First, he would have to learn the playbook. Second, he would have to develop a rhythm with the quarterback here. Do you honestly believe that he would be able to do all of that, and at a better rate than David Reed, in time for week 1?
