Re: Over/Under - McKinnie Gets Cut Tomorrow
I watched the entire game today as well. McKinnie did not play well, but wasn't horrible either. Most of the hits on Flacco came from rushers coming up the middle. The same was true last week as well. McKinnie is not getting cut, but he might be traded within the next 24 hours. I think they have to bring Stokely back by 4:00 PM tomorrow for him being cut to not have any cap implications. I think McKinnie might be traded by then to open up that roster spot. The Ravens haven't been paying McKinnie top dollar, and they have not been getting top flight LT play. You get what you pay for. If you want to see what an awful LT looks like, you just had to watch the Dolphins LT today.

Re: Over/Under - McKinnie Gets Cut Tomorrow
It is not just like last year. Last year he sat on the bench for most of the year. At the end of the year he was playing for his next contract. He got his contract an he is not interested in giving effort. Maybe if we get to the playoffs and he gets a chance to play he will try. I don't think he is a cancer because he seems to be someone guys like. That being said I think they should trade him because it will save the Ravens on next years salary cap. The Ravens cant afford 1m in dead money when they cut McKinnie after the season. If Monroe goes down the Ravens are not going anywhere anyway. Different team in a different year. McKinnie was probably the one player that nearly cost the Ravens the game. There were a lot of mistakes by a lot of players but he was just awful all game. He almost got Flacco killed numerous times and showed no interest in run blocking.

Re: Over/Under - McKinnie Gets Cut Tomorrow
I mean I just watched the pick six and McKinnie did what he always does in pass pro with speed rushers and got back in his stance, and push his guy around the outside of the pocket.
He was doing just that on this play, had both hands extended pushing Jordan, around, Joe took a step or 2 drifting back a bit at the top of his set, and Jordan just got his arm out there.
That was more of a great play by a younger and explosive pass rusher than anything.
Now, the run game? I got nothing. But he has always been piss poor in effort with run blocking.

According to Walsh, talent on defense was essential and could not be compensated for. What did Walsh do in 1981? He acquired physical and talented players on defense.

Re: Over/Under - McKinnie Gets Cut Tomorrow
For me, this is simple...
If they can find a trade partner, I could see them parting ways.
If they can't, it may financially just be more prudent to deactivate him.
Either way, I think he has played his last snaps as a Raven.
I think that the coaching staff is so disgusted with him 5that they'd sincerely consider just letting him hit the streets. Harbaugh is totally the type of coach who values players who are working their asses off and may be average over super talented, but super lazy players.

Re: Over/Under - McKinnie Gets Cut Tomorrow
I think that Joekel getting hurt just showed the Ravens why depth is important. I just don't see the incentive to trade McKinney unless the Ravens are floored with an offer (which after today's game probably will not come).
I also agree with the posters saying that he will not be a malcontent. Aside from some of his partying, the locker room seems to love him even if Harbs does not. I feel that he likes getting paid more than worrying about starting and I just take last years benching as a sign he would be fine getting a check and talking to fellow players on the sidelines during gameday.

Re: Over/Under - McKinnie Gets Cut Tomorrow
If they deal him they have until week 8 to do so, no panic is needed.

Re: Over/Under - McKinnie Gets Cut Tomorrow
Another issue here...McKinnie is playing the toughest position on the line and is way past his prime at 34.
There aren't many high quality LT's at that age. He likely is just losing it and is just about over the hill...even JO was getting to be a shell of himself at that age. JO was just smart enough to retire.
