I like Josh Johnson better than Huntley for a spot start if needed. Good move.

from PFT :

" The 37-year-old Johnson was a fifth-round draft pick of the Buccaneers in 2008 and has also played with the 49ers, Sacramento Mountain Cats of the UFL, Browns, Bengals, 49ers again, Bengals again, Jets, Colts, Bills, Ravens, Giants, Texans, Raiders, Washington, San Diego Fleet of the AAF, Lions, Los Angeles Wildcats of the XFL, 49ers a third time, Jets again, Ravens again, Broncos, 49ers a fourth time and now Ravens a third time. "

Johnson has almost been on more teams than my sister-in-law has been to different buffets. Keep in mind I wrote "almost"

The guy has persistence and some experience, I'll give him that.

Nothing but respect for the niche and career Josh Johnson has created for himself. I hope he is a good vet in the room, something missing since RG3

Great low cost signing.

I have some worries about Huntley tendinitis issue last season. Shouldn't linger but you never know.

If Bridgewater wasn't wanting to sign cheap enough. Josh Johnson is a low cost option that can be the guy if Huntley isn't OK.

I was convinced he was gonna be the "missing piece" for us in 2010 after we traded for Q. Man those were the days against the Steelers...the rivalry was at it's best...their defense just always came up with a big play when they needed it against us and their offense would do just enough.

BALTIMORE RAVENS:

Houshmandzadeh signed a one-year deal with the Baltimore Ravens on September 6, 2010 for the veteran league minimum of $855,000. However, since his $7 million salary with the Seahawks was guaranteed in his previous contract, Seattle paid him the remaining $6.15 million for 2010. During his short and disappointing tenure in Baltimore, Houshmandzadeh recorded only 30 receptions for 398 yards. He managed to score only three touchdowns, although one of them won the Week 4 divisional matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. In the 2010 Divisional Playoff loss against Pittsburgh, Houshmandzadeh dropped a critical pass which would've converted a fourth down and potentially changed the outcome of the game. That, combined with his frequent complaining and general poor play, led to him not being re-signed. "If I go to the right team I'll shock a lot of people", he said while he was a free agent

So what is happening today? Anything?

I see that this date is listed on Ravens dotcom as part of the offseason program, but I don't see a specific activity. Maybe it's just check-ins and conditioning tests?

Have you seen rg3 on tv? We needed someone to give Lamar a challenge of any kind, not just tell him he’s the greatest. Challenge him to work harder in the film room, during the off-season.

As do I.

I think paying Huntley over $2.6 million is not smart with a non Roman offense and you probably would get equal to better play from a guy from Josh Johnson.

Media access is really restricted for some reason so I don't think we will get much. I think the only day the Media gets access for the sessions this week is Wednesday.
