Re: Ravens Projected 53 Man Roster (updated version 2).1
You're the only person I hear calling for a FA / trade QB.
That's just crazy talk if you think we're going to add a forth QB/

Here is your 53. We will keep 7 WRs (and it is possible that DW goes on PUP/IR), because we are using more WRs with this offense than before. I don't see Justin Green making the club, because we have enough ST playmakers. If we sign another OL (Fred Miller?), I could see Cousins going on the practice squad.It's a new season! It's a new day!

Re: Ravens Projected 53 Man Roster (updated version 2).1
I would really like to see McCants make the team. He would be the first truly local kid to be a Raven in years (Larry Webster?). He played at Arundel High -- peer of my son and friends, and played for the Redskins until one of their multiple regime changes. He still should have some gas in the tank, and looked pretty good on that 30 yarder last night.
In a 2003 BBC poll that asked Brits to name the "Greatest American Ever", Mr. T came in fourth, behind ML King (3rd), Abe Lincoln (2nd) and Homer Simpson (1st).

Re: Ravens Projected 53 Man Roster (updated version 2).1
that is just where I have it right now. Still a lot of battles to go.
Ross is a stout little dude. His ability as a KR and 3rd down back should be enough to keep him over Patrick, who as a 7th round pick should be easier to stash on the practice squad than a guy like Ross who has been around for a few years now and made a decent highlight reel. There are some other backs not likley to make the teams they are on now who could take the 3rd or 4th RB and TE spots.
I liked undrafted MD players Haynos, Lattimore, Ball and Goode. They are all in camps around the NFL so I will try to see how they do but Keyon is the 4th or 5th Rb in Dallas. Ball is in STL, reportely looked solid, and I also heard Goode had impressed in Foreskin camp. Not sure about Haynos in GB, but he is a very good blocker and has good size.
There may be more WRs on the 53 than I have right now, but no way do we keep 7, and none of them looked like someone we could not find on the free agent market after the 53 cuts.
They certainly could go with more WRs than Ts, but it looks like there are only a few spots really up for grabs.

Re: Ravens Projected 53 Man Roster (updated version 2).1
Say Kyle throws 4 more passes into tripple coverage and has an unforced fumble or two along the way? Troy Smith is a very nice 5th round 2nd year prospect, but there will be a lot of free agent options before the season starts other than him or Kyle who could be the vet bridge to Flacco.
I am not trying to get him out of towm. I am rooting hard that he turns into the next Steve Young, but am only willing to give him the rest of the preseason to convince me it is still possible to even win with him.
I thought Kyle looked very good on 70% of his attepts. The pick was not very good at all though. There was no pressure whatsover, and no way to get that guy the ball. The fumble could have happened to anyone. AD made a nice swipe at the ball and it would have come out even if it was protected better.

Re: Ravens Projected 53 Man Roster (updated version 2).1
If there is an extra spot somewhere I see it going to a WR or OL.
I hope McCants makes the team too.
Mason
Clayton
D.Williams
Smith
McCants
Harper (he is iffy since they seem to be trying to get Yamon on the field more)

Re: Ravens Projected 53 Man Roster (updated version 2).1
I hope you did, because 73% of his passes were completed for almost 10 YPC...
He fumbled the ball on a play you excuse him for, and he made one boneheaded pass in his first preseason action... hold your horses he's here to play the year out.
No compliants about Troy's throw into triple coverage? Oh yeah it was only ALMOST picked off, so it doesn't count, besides the fact hat Crable would have waltzed in for 6.... I guess that's why they play defense.
