According to the sun this morning Ozzies on vacation and although I am sure that it is WELL deserved, it doesn't seem like he chose the most opportune time. In my opinion, the devastating blow dealt by Derrick Mason yesterday calls for swift action. Camp starts in exactly 2 weeks and despite my high expectations and hopes i don't get a warm and fuzzy feeling when I think of Clayton as our veteran leadership and go to guy in the receiving corp. Apparently he hasn't turned in the appropriate paperwork, but if this retirement is for real, I think we would have to make a huge play for Boldin or a receiver of that caliber and experience for the the good of Joe and the rest of the receivers. The question is how does this effect contract negotiations for Suggs? With Wednesday being the deadline, Oz away and not a peep from either side it doesn't look good and this can't help. At least we got something to talk about on our new blog...

It is times like these where we have to put our trust in Ozzie. As an outsider looking in, it definitely looks like a bad situation, but you never know what they may have up their sleeve. I am just crossing my fingers because I honestly have no idea what they are going to do!
ReplyDeleteGreat organizations overcome losses like this. This is no different then Derrick tearing his shoulder in week 1. Hopefully, he has a Favre esq change of mind but I don't think it is panic time just yet. I have faith in our front office that we will do our best to fill this void.
ReplyDeleteAccording to Sirius NFL Radio and The Viviano Show, no one seems to be 100% convinced (including the Ravens front office) that Mason is done for good. I guess we will wait and see!
