He only had 2, count'em 2, 100 yard rushing games the entire season. That's only one more than Torain. Why would we keep him?

Lol. How many did Hightower have again? We keep him because his initals are ER and that's where he sends defenders.

Shameless self-promotion. It is what it is.

I have him at the 3 spot but most definitely see him sliding to 2 on the depth chart.

YES!!! Stated in another thread a bit ago that I have loved that kid since he came out and I really wanted to draft him that year. But oh well would love to get him now.

SKINSFANinOk- Yo bud remember that Eddie's first year was with MS. I am sure their is mutual interest from both side for him to come here and join the skins. Plus I think MS just knows how to use the kid so I would be excited to have him. I would look to that first year as far as production rather than the last three.

WR would still need that #1 guy, but I would say it would be a safe bet that ER could take SM spot and be more productive. one thing SM does a ton of is drop the ball. He has not been that big play guy for awhile.

He would be a nice addition. We sure do like those ex-Ravens, huh? The Ravens' prolonged success must really eat away at our front office.

Ha! Mostly, yes. He must particularly be mad about all the lost revenue from former Skins fans from Maryland that have defected to the Ravens over the years.

Correct. The newer generation coming up in the DC/Maryland area will be Raven fans due to the fact they are a winner. I think as kids, we tend to pick the winners early on and that's how we become fans. (or it's inherited via family)

Re: 2012 Free Agency Wish List

I really want us to focus on WR first, CB next and then OL. I'm on record for thinking we have among the worst WR groups in the NFL with only one (Hankerson) potential playmaker in the group. I'd love to see us very aggressive in free agency to address this. Love Colston's talent, don't care for his injury history, love D-Jax speed but not his attitude, love Bowe in the red zone but not his speed/concentration all the time.

Dream free agency would be Colston, Royal, Grimes (CB) and maybe an OL. On the OL I hope we focus on center. I'm ok with the rest of the line (but with a healthy Brown or a drafted replacement) and don't think it's nearly as bad as we are conditioned to believe it is.

Re: 2012 Free Agency Wish List

Offense - Ben Grubbs because Carl Nicks is likely going to cost to much for a guard and maybe a little too big for ZBS. Definitely Chris Meyers - a Shanny oline guy and yeah he's 31 but this team is younger. I don't think any of the big WR's are attainable either by FT or bidding wars, maybe Meechum - Eddie Royal could fill 2 roster spots, one being a Banks replacement and possible slot (Moss).

Defense: I'd like to see us bring in another CB, like Brandon Carr and we're going to have to find a Carriker replacement. He isn't going to give us a hometown discount. Thinking maybe Calais Campbell.

Re: 2012 Free Agency Wish List

I really am not a fan at all of free agency, and the few guys I've named in my post of who I wouldn't mind getting, aren't even linked to the skins or won't come here...ahhh

Re: 2012 Free Agency Wish List

Ravens are easy to attract relatively because you can convince them they don't need to uproot their families
