cmorina69 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Ray Rice i good, but he isn't totally established yet. He has good hands and is a good runner, so he could be a good fit for our team if we stay with the WCO. Maybe Monty and Moss? or Moss and CP. I don't wana see any picks gone, unless they are around the 4th round, but to be honest i rather see us go all OL in this line. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Lloyd Christmas Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 ravens could use another WR, but they wont give up rice. hes one of their biggest offensive pieces, especially going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodBits Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 ravens could use another WR, but they wont give up rice. hes one of their biggest offensive pieces, especially going forward. Yeah I was going to say that. They would never part with this guy. His upside is too huge for them. If they did trade him the price tag would be ridiculous. edit: gosh BLC, why am I agreeing with you so much today. A sign of tough times in DC, no doubt.

Skinz4Life12 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 good idea but i think we would have to give up too much to get him and like you said, the last thing we can afford to give up are draft picks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAFGA Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 CP is probably the most untradeable player in the entire NFL. No self-respecting team would take that contract at this point in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmorina69 Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 Mabye we could through Davis, or ARE, in there. Obviously they wouldn't want Los, so i steered clear of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheismannQuote Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 We're going to run jumbo packages. Maybe Orakpo was meant to be FB/Half-Back instead of a OLB. M'eh? Cooley and Davis as blocking TE, Sellers/Orakpo backfield? Maybe we see if TJ Duckett wants to play? RB doesn't matter at this point, unless they can jump over a D-lineman.. Then, maybe - just maybe.

Cooley4President Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Rice would be a nice addition, but if we do add a back we should wait and do it through the draft. Of course, we had a chance to take him in the draft and passed on him already..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoRnAndRaiSedSkinsFan Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Ummm no. Wasn't he a later round pickup? We can find one of these guys in the draft. We should draft a guy with a similar skillset and be patient. It took Rice a few years to gain his stride I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hail Gibbs Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Rice looks like a good player, but I don't think he would help this team much given our OL situation. Also don't think the Ravens would be interested in the deal posted. The thought alone of Dan/Vinny trading with Ozzie and the Ravens is frightening.

kleese Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 put ray rice behind this offensive line and you will see him on a stretcher VERY much disagree with this assesment. People always say that a RB is only as good as his OL-- well, then why would you EVER draft a RB high or pay him anything substantial? If Adrian Peterson is only as good as the Vikings OL, then Minnesota wasted a draft pick. IMO, our run blocking has been decent--nothing great mind you, but decent. Pass blocking is another story... Last Sunday, everyone I watched the game with noticed the same things-- opportunities for Portis to make a few plays-- which he was unable to do. Any RB can run through gaping holes-- sometimes, you need your back to take a sliver of daylight and turn it into yards. While I TOTALLY agree that OL is the #1 concern on our roster in terms of building for the future, I also think we need to completely revamp the RB corps as well--- CP is not even one of the 15 best RB's in the league right now....and he will only get worse. As for the OP's idea.....I'd love Rice, but we literally have no one the Ravens would want in return.... Moss and CP for Rice would be the steal of the century for us....and we aren't exactly experts at pulling off "steals." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 My trade proposal is not a ridiculous one. Not ridiculous, but totally out of the question. Willis McGahee has not been consistant enough, so they've been using Rice as a change of pace back and it's been working for them. He's only in his 2nd year, so they would not want to give him up so quickly. Also, you want to trad Monty, yet the Ravens have a deep and talented D-Line AND they play a 3-4. Where would Monty play? He's not a NT. And to add Moss in, well they might go for acquiring Moss at some point after the season, but their passing game has been alot better than ours and because Mason decided to play, they wouldn't need a WR until after the season when Mason will probably retire for good. If they trade for Moss, it will be a pick and not a player, expecially not Rice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stadium-Armory Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Sort of a side issue, but wanted to mention this as food for thought. He got a ton of carries in college, and I'm curious to see if the work load has an effect on his long term viability in the league. You know how they say NFL RBs only have a certain amount of tread on their tires, I wonder how much tread he wore off in college. He was a 3 year starter (200[5,6,7]) and carried the ball 195, 335, and 380 times in each year respectively. That's a ton of carries. By comparison, Portis got 143, 77, 220 attempts in (1999, 2000 and 2001 respectively). I'll be watching his career, and will be curious to see how many years he lasts in the NFL. Seems like he's already played 1/2 a career with his college carries, which probably explains why he's pretty good right out of the gate. But mayb doesn't bode well for long term viability. Who knows, just something to think about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedskinsSuperBowl21 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Something about Ray Rice that most people do not consider is he has alot of miles on him from college. He touched the ball alot at rutgers. I would like to have someone is his mold but fresh out of college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sknsnation Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 If we trade for anything,I'd hope it would be for Olinemen 1st. Any back in the league would have problems running behind this line right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hobbie8046 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 My trade proposal is not a ridiculous one. No offense, but it kind of is. Nobody would trade a washed up RB and a WR at the end of his prime for a young, hard nosed RB like Rice. McGahee is approaching Portis territory, and Rice is going to be a big part of their team for the next several years. This isn't fantasy football; you can't make trades like that.
