Any chance you think they are able to rework Graham’s contract longterm or do you think there are more immediate pressing needs RB/OL/WR that will be focused on first? Do teams generally multi-task when it comes to signings?

That was the Ravens game in 2007 at Baltimore you are speaking of. He could have had 8 FG’s but Marvin took a knee at the end.

I totally agree with tagging Shayne Graham and agree with your opinion they will get a long term deal (atleast a couple years) done before the season starts. If they would have let Graham explore FA who knows who would have threw big money at him he couldn’t refuse. The organization realizes they have a top 5 kicker and cant let him go. Remember the game the year before last when he scored like all 21 points on offense w/ seven fieldgoals. The defense held strong and we got the win.(The Best I Can Remember Atleast). He is more valuable than most people think.

Im kind of on the fence with the Graham deal. I think we needed to keep him because of what he brings to the team but I also think if we would have tagged Housh and kept him one more year it would have given caldwell time to grow.To me he looks like he can bring what T.J brings in time. He has the closest body frame that T.J has out of all the other receivers on the team. I think when you have a guy like ocho on the other side of the field it opens it up for you a little more.ocho is a guy teams make changes for.Which is great for the other receivers on the team.Lets face it, does anyone think that Chris Henry would have had the success so early in his carrer on another team. I think with ocho on the field it helps any receiver with any talent to put up big numbers. Lets see what happens to even T.J without chad on the other side of the field ,heaven forbid he goes elsewhere.
