Ravens:
Yesterday while on DC's 980 AM, Lavar Arrington (Mr. Nickels himself) talked about his desires to play for the Baltimore Ravens. He said he had had talks with owner Steve Bischotti and would love playing along side such a middle linebacker as Ray Lewis.
While he complimented Brian Urlacher he talked of how Lewis is the best to ever play the position. He also talked about his recovery from injury and perhaps coming to the Ravens when he has proven that he has recovered fully.
Although the Ravens have their starting defense set, Arrington could add a pass rushing threat on third downs such as Peter Boulware did when he came back from injury a few years ago. This is an interesting situation would add another mouth to the south of the AFC North. And why not take him when he can have great performances like this little doozie? While it might not be Jonathan Ogden good, I'd still say thats some very fine acting.
ESPN has reported the Ravens as a possible landing spot for Daunte Culpepper. I don't find any logic or truth to these rumors. Culpepper would quite obviously not supplant Steve McNair as the starter for the 2007 season nor would he provide the Ravens with a good long term option for the post McNair regime.
Culpepper is 30 years old with a bum knee, and while I believe he could be productive in certain systems if given the right tools and allowed to recover fully from injury, I don't believe the Ravens situation would be a intelligent choice for himself or the team.
Or maybe this sums it up best for these two players...
