« It wasn't pretty, but the Ravens don't care | Main | Heap, Flacco catching on? »
Ravens cornerback Samari Rolle is optimistic about playing next week against Oakland.
Rolle made the trip with the team to Miami, and said he feels good, but just has to be cleared by the team doctors.
Rolle has missed the last four games with a shoulder/neck injury.

Good! I hope that he replaces Walker.

This Walker is very bad! He thinks he is very good but not even close. It seems to turn into theatre when he is on the field...

I will second the vote to replace Walker!

I would be good to see Samari back on the field. I think that when you have a CB that is at least comparable to C-Mac or is just as good, it takes some pressure off Chris and allows him to play his game. When the opposite cb is a talent (or lack of) such as Walker, it seems to affect C-Mac's performance. Maybe I am reading too much into this, but that is just my opinion.

Its extremely obvious that this is a better football team with Samari Rolle in the line up. But we could use Landry back as well. I need this secondary to be at 100 percent. If they are, they are in the playoffs. We need to address the CB and WR position in free agency this year. And start loading up on our O and D line in the draft. Can never have enough big bodies.

I agree Walker is not very good. I do think he has some speed, but what good is it if he never looks back for the ball? I wonder how many picks he would have if he turned to find the ball before the WR gets a hand on it? TURN & LOOK WALKER!

I expect Rolle to be gone by the end of the year but the secondary will be far better this year if he is back. The secondary played well last week, remember 60 of Penningtons 295 passing yards came on the final drive that was garbage time, but the secondary is much stronger with Rolle there.
