Bart Scott, Terrell Suggs and Ray Lewis are all free agents, and chances are that all three of them will not be resigned by the Ravens, In my opinion, throw out that piece of shit Bryan Thomas and get Terrell Suggs in here. Then move Gholston back to DE and get rid of Kenyon Coleman, he serves no purpose anymore DL: Gholston Jenkins Ellis LB: Suggs, Barton, Harris, Pace I like that
NO NO NO!!! I want youth, not another guy past his prime. We are the Labrea Tarpits of the NFL. Good players come here to die!
Gholston at 3-4 DE? I'd rather just move Pace inside and run with: DL - Hopefully new, exciting talent - Jenkins - Ellis LB - Suggs - Harris - Pace - Gholston/BT Now that would be fun. Suggs would bring some attitude to the LB corps too. And yes, I do think Pace can handle the move. Guy has turned himself into an excellent all around LBer, and once you do that you're free to move wherever you're needed in the 3-4. No Ray. I like the 3-4. It's the modern defense, and the choice for some of the top defensive minds in todays game for a reason. He didn't/doesn't like the 3-4 from what I've heard...but he's also played in the D that started the whole 4-3/3-4 hybrid thing, and the Ravens have played a full 3-4 during his tenure there...I DO remember him not liking it then though.
Bart Scott and Suggs are much better. Ray Lewis mysteriously became rejuvenated in his contract year, after having several subpar seasons, and he's not a character I want around.
Ray Lewis doesn't want in anyway, shape, or form play in a 3-4 defense. He wants to play with two mammoth DT's in front of him, where he can run sideline to sideline like they PLAYMAKER that he is. It took Eric Mangini three years to realize that if your gonna run a 3-4 defensive scheme you need to have the main component, which is a NT, to be successful, what a genius. The JETS spent the bucks the past off-season, but this off-season they might be shopping for a head coach before they address the free agency market.
Yeah, it really took him 3 years to figure that out. C'mon people, think before you post. It took 2 years for Tannenbaum to fill the position with a viable starter.
If the ravens can only keep two, Scott is the Goner. Suggs and Lewis are household names Defining the Baltimore ravens. Scott is an after thought. He is also exactly what we need at ILB opposite Harris. He stops the run well, and he can cover a TE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thats really all that needs to be said.
Sign Bart Scott and Dunta Robinson to fill our MLB and CB holes. Draft a DE and a safety. Trade Coles to the Lions for a 3rd.
i'd take half these guys too...including Lewis. But the fact of the matter is...unless we unload a big salary (Favre for example), we wouldn't be able to afford food stamps. Our cap is suffocating.
That's because the Ravens are playing a 4-3 again. Also, if this season proved anything, signing big name free agents is pointless if your coaching staff can't take you anywhere
I'd rather trade Gholston for picks then convert him to DE. This draft might be the best ever due to fears of a coming rookie salary cap.
We wouldn't get anything for Gholston, that would be retarded He's not converting to DE unless we switch schemes anyway.
