pmoehrin Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Ricky Williams to the Ravens per ESPN.We'll see if it makes up for the loss of McGahee.Williams may be an older halfback (oldest in the NFL now if I'm not mistaken) but one of the things taking time away from football allowed him to do is rest his body, so I don't think he's nearly as beat up as some of the other guys his age normally would be.

Shumway Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 And it continues....Lions rookie RB Mikel LeShoure out for the season with a torn achilles. I was really excited to see the Best/Leshoure combo. That said, I don't feel like this is "season over", by any means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-(dp)- Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 No, I don't think so either, but just like every year, they have had tons of injuries already. Fairley, Young, and LeShoure have all been hurt during camp. I still really like Jahvid Best, and Maurice Morris ran really well toward the end of the season. He can be serviceable I think, and they may have to bring Kevin Smith back. The Lions really can't afford any more injuries though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe with all these injuries, karma will keep Staff healthy. Detroit Falcons (NABL) | Detroit Gears (UFL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJTank Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Tiki Barber still unsigned, I guess he underestimated his value.

BBTV Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Lions sign RBs Jerome Harrison and Mike Bell.Harrison played very well for the Eagles in a limited role last season, I was disappointed that they let him go (until I saw that they replaced him with Ronnie Brown.) He could be a good addition if used right.Bell was completely worthless and got released. Not sure he's good for any system anymore.

Gary Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Bell is a good 3rd down back, I'm sure that would be his use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shumway Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I'll echo the sentiment that Harrison is a solid pickup. I'm indifferent about Bell. It's depth...not very good depth, but depth nonetheless. If I'm not mistaken, Morris still has a broken hand, so adding Bell isn't necessarily a bad thing right now.

pmoehrin Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Tiki Barber still unsigned, I guess he underoverestimated his value. Coming soon to a McDonald near you Tiki's service with a fake smile.FYPYou want to talk about a guy with a potential to cause locker room problems. The second he got out of NYC and got a microphone in his face the first thing he did was throw Eli Manning under the bus. Don't think for a second players and coaches don't remember that kind of stuff. And that's also on top of all the things he said to the media during his playing career.I also don't think it exactly rubs teams the right way over the fact that you have to assume he's doing this for purely for the money.So am I surprised that nobody wants to sign a 36 year old backup halfback with a big mouth and questionable motivation? Not really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexter Morgan Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I'd love to know what the heck the Giants are doing. They have let Kevin Boss and Steve Smith walk out the door. 2 of Eli's favorite targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Well the Eagles needed this signing, as Jeremy Maclin may not even see the field this year, and Deshawn Jackson's situation is still up in the air.

Still "Dead $$$". What's your point? It is short term against long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
