Re: Ray Rice Not Expected to Report on Monday
No concern here until/unless late in training camp.
If Ray is taking the Chris Johnson route of not reporting until a week or 2 before the start of the season, then it's time to get concerned.

Re: Ray Rice Not Expected to Report on Monday
I think there is one other factor that you ignored, especially for 2010, and that's Andre Johnson. What receiver on the Ravens strikes that much fear in a safety? Even as good as Foster has been at times, when you look at the Texans he's usually not the first person your trying to stop. Ray Rice is on the Ravens offense. And many teams have had success against us when they have been able to.

Re: Ray Rice Not Expected to Report on Monday
Ok so that preoccupies the FS giving help over the top. It IS a difference however not enough given those stats. IMO anyway. And what about 2011 where he missed half the season? Given the 2 of without Leach, compare 2010 Rice to 2011 Foster where Foster didn't havethe benefit of Johnson for much of the season. And Boldin, T.Smith and even Evans when he came back are all arguably more dangeous than the rest of the Texans receiving core.

Re: Ray Rice Not Expected to Report on Monday
My take : Ray Rice played out his rookie (2nd round) contract without a peep out of him. Always the good soldier, although underpaid by NFL standards. He/we know that the shelf-life of a pro football player is relatively short in general, and can be shorter for a RB in particular. This portion of his playing career (25 through 29) should be his most productive, and most highly paid. For all we know this could be his last chance at to catch the brass ring, I cannot blame him for that... Bc

Re: Ray Rice Not Expected to Report on Monday
I'd love a comparison of the 22 tapes, but until than it's all a matter of opinion.
My opinion is Rice is more geared for a single back set with athletic lineman who can get out there in front. In a different scheme he could be Hall of Fame worthy. Personally if you flip flopped the 2 both would see an increase in production. Just my .02
BUT all that being said Foster accepted his deal and Rice hasn't. Who is better is miniscule at this point.

Re: Ray Rice Not Expected to Report on Monday
We don't know if it's true that Rice was offered anything like Fosters deal right now, it's all speculation and reports atm, although I do think he has more than likely turned the Foster deal down, which is pretty stupid and if it's true I have lost some respect for Rice.

Re: Ray Rice Not Expected to Report on Monday
Wow on the draft prediction feature on NFL.com the general amount of users have us taking Lamar Miller in the first.
Most probably has a one in a thousand chance of happening, but just think what it could mean. You could have a very dangerous three headed monster with Rice, Miller, and AA. The pick would most likely piss Rice off though.
