[Admin Steve]

Post your questions here for Aaron Wilson to answer. This is due to the minor snafu with the chat room which is now working perfectly but had a glitch earlier.

We will gather the questions and post the correct answers tomorrow.

Thanks

Okay . . . I'll try again :grbac:

Okay . . . I'll ask a really ambiguous question. Just what is the deal with Jamal? Do you think they will let Musa and/or Mike have more playing time seeings that Jamal just seems to be back to his dancing routine?

[ladyraven127]

Alright . . . I'll go again.

How much of a lack of running game do you believe is hindering the passing game?

Is there serious concerns behind the scenes with this organization about the play of McNair and Lewis?

Aaron, as an unbiased reporter, where would you project the Ravens finishing at the end of the season if things don't change offensively? Also, do you believe this Ravens offense has the ability to make strides this season in order to get ready for a playoff push?

On Gameplan week 6, Jim Fassel, when going through his various options on the 3rd and 10 on the 10 at the end of the first half, talks about what people would have said had the result been what he expected from various calls. Is public pressure questioning his play calling abililty, justified or not, getting to him?

Eric DeCosta on Scout's Honor week 6 talks about a guy he saw last week, a kickoff guy who was not on the list, but that they will now scout later this year. How is the team viewing the current kickoff situation? Might there be a return next year, or even this year, of a kickoff specialist on the roster?

Aaron, what's the word on Dan Cody. Billick said he was inactive due to "depth issues" at other positions in Week 1 and 2, but he's now been inactive all 5 games to start the season. Is he going to get any shots at PT, is he just not as good as the other active players, is he in Billick's doghouse?

Aaron, Why has Stover been kicking off when Koch proved he could do both KO & Punting? Also, is the coaching staff worried that Koch could get hurt with the way he runs down the field on punts looking to hit someone? He had another tackle in the Denver game. This doesn't speak well for the special teams that the punter is making tackles. Who would be the backup Punter if he gets hurt?

Aaron - I have a slightly more specific RB question. If the trend from the Denver game continues of Mike and Musa outperforming Jamal, do you foresee one of the following scenarios, or something else:

- Jamal gets about half and Mike and Musa split the rest, with Musa getting some receiving looks (same as Denver, basically)
- About equal carries for all three
- Either Mike or Musa becoming the de facto feature back, supplanting Jamal and limiting Jamal to carries spelling the lead guy or garbage time
- A 50/50 or so split between Mike or Musa

Personally I think the way to go is for Musa to emerge as the feature back, since he could be the long-term answer at that position. Also as a receiving threat, defenses won't always know whether we're going to run or pass except in obvious downs. That said, Mike could be as much of a receiving threat as Musa - I'm not sure. If Musa is the feature back, Mike could be in for short yardage and goal line situations.

More broadly, how much do you think a reinvigorated running game would help the passing game? Or is there just a certain ceiling we face in the passing game that keeps us from improving there?

Thanks!

One more - anything at all to the Randy Moss trade rumors (not in general, but a trade to the Ravens)?

Aaron,

I like what I saw in the Denver game as far as the offense mixing it up a little. For example, running the no-huddle in the middle of the first half. Do you think we will see more of this in the future? Maybe starting a few drives in 4-wide shotgun?

[PARavensJeff]

Do the Ravens have any interest in Big Jelly, Lionel Dalton, since he's been released by the Chiefs? He hasn't been very successful since he left here but played well in the Ravens system.

[PARavensJeff]

Aaron, DO the Ravens have any interest in picking up Troy Vincent since he's been released by the Bills?

[TL24x7]

I will get these questions to Aaron this afternoon and post his answers in the morning. Thanks for participating.
