OT: Ravens cut Devin Hester

[BadMoFo]

I thought we'd be the team cutting a punt returner.

 

[PatsFan2]

I like his hands would be surprised if BB didn't give him a look. One Teams trash = another Teams treasure.

 

[Todd Bradley]

Honestly isn't a bad idea to kick the tires.

If Whalen can't return punts, you're better off cutting him and letting Hester, an all time returner, do the job.

 

[Huckleberry1]

He's not the threat he once was but he won't put it on the ground, sign him.

I wouldn't be so quick to cut Whalen the few times I saw him with the Colts he was catching passes over the middle. We need another body who can run a occasional route at WR.

 

[Nunchucks]

Sign the old beast. He can catch the ball at the very least. We have a clear problem at the position. Honestly, surprised they cut him, he made a poor judgement call on those close punts, but it wasn't like he was Cyrus Jones out there.

I thought the same until James White proved he could do that as a receiver last night.

 

[Sciz]

Hester has become an expert at letting punts get downed at the 1. You don't need to sign somebody new if that's the goal.

 

[dannydyn]

His name is not Cyrus Jones. SIGN THE BEAST!

Looks like beat writers disagree..

 

[NashuaPats]

Signing him is a no brainer. We're desperate for a returner right now.

 

[convertedpatsfan]

Take it with a pound of salt because it's ESPN, but I figure this guy has watched more of the Ravens this year than I have (thankfully)...

Ravens announce returner Devin Hester has been released. A potential Hall of Fane player, Hester struggled fielding kicks. His decision not to catch a punt Monday led to a safety. Michael Campanaro will be promoted from practice squad and become team's new returner.

Yeah but...White's not a real receiver.

He hasnt caught a pass in 2 years.

Looks like beat writers disagree..

He made some judgment errors in letting some punts drop. That isn't too difficult to fix, especially for a guy who knows what he is supposed to do.

 

[long distance]

Id have him return punts as well until Danny comes back.
He is part of the core playmakers, part of the battlefield, fully self-confident, dependable ..

No need to give games in the hands of some guys from the street ..

 

[Hammer of Thor]

Hester has become an expert at letting punts get downed at the 1. You don't need to sign somebody new if that's the goal.

You sure about that? Because Cyrus Jones couldn't even accomplish that last night....

 

[Batman]

He has 5 fumbles on the year just like Cyrus Jones. Why do we want a 34 year old guy with no explosive plays?

campanaro is a patriot type of player! im shocked he isnt with us!

 

[mgteich]

I'd rather have Hester returning punts than Jones. Is it that simple? Perhaps not. Perhaps there is someone else out there. It seems that there is no else currently on the team.
