Improving cornerbacks

With Chris McAlister and Samari Rolle practicing for the second consecutive day, it appears that the Ravens might have their starting cornerbacks play in the same game for the first time since Dec. 3, when the Ravens lost to the New England Patriots.

Coach John Harbaugh sounded hopeful that McAlister (swollen right knee) and Rolle (left leg) might be able to suit up against the St. Louis Rams Saturday night.

“I would say yes, but I wouldn’t want to put a definite on it right now," Harbaugh said. "I’ve got to see how they hold up in practice.”

Ed, this would concern me. If our two corners have these injuries during training camp, how can we expect them to play a full season. Everyone is complaining about the QB situation but lets not forget this Defense is not in their prime anymore. The D is getting old and the O, oh well.
