Oops, I did not realize a Ravens fan is trolling us. You are much better than some Titans fans who joined the board last week to talk smack.

Jimmy Smith is  HUGE name here . . . because of the one who wore #82! We think of your team's CB as "the other Jimmy Smith."  

I had no idea Brandon Carr was a Chief before he played for the Cowboys. Yes, Dallas has had a terrible pass rush since DeMarcus Ware was cut. However, I don't understand how a safety's performance is directly related to that when a team has a bad defensive line and a good secondary, as the Cowboys did. It is not always that simple. BTW, we have Carr's old teammate, Barry Church, who many Jaguars fans including myself wanted in free agency. I don't recall anyone saying they would rather have Carr.

Oh and get this: seeing Brandon always reminds me of Derek because of his last name. Nothing else stands out about him like when I watch other safeties around the NFL. But that's just me.

Isn't Webb injured this week? I can't even remember his first name. I see his last name and think, "Not the quarterback who played wide receiver in Baltimore." So yes, I do have an awful hard time identifying some Ravens players and how good or bad they are. But I know Webb and Eric Weddle have shown up on injury reports lately.
