Does anyone have CREDIBLE knowledge as to what's wrong with Rolle?
The Setting Sun stated yesterday the medication he is taking is causing him to sit out, not the illness itself. I guess we can assume whatever the illness is is on its way out, but the treatment is doing him in at this point.
I have migraines and the meds I take screw me up for the following 24 hrs. Maybe its that? Or maybe that Super Bug thats been in the news lately?
The "Bug" I know of is AIDS so I don't think its that!!:laugh: You may be right, he might be having some reaction to a medication.....

Oy. Dont be like yeahravens and start the AIDS thing. ;)
I was referring to the Staph super bug. It's called MRSA and its been going around the north east.

It's time cut ties with Rolle. I think he has been a waste since he came to the team. He didn't live up to anything he was advertised to be. If you remember he got beat bad last year. Just gethim off this team. After the game on Monday we will have to start to rebuild because this defense isn't it used to be and there is NO offense.
Oh has anyone noticed how much Heap is hurt. He has missed a lot of time over the last couple of years.

I don't know where this myth came from that Heap is injured all the time, but it is simply not true.
Regarding Rolle, I have no idea what's been going on with him, but it's sounding more and more serious. If it's really a reaction to meds, you'd think his doctors would have figured that out by now (these guys have access to much better health care than us). Hopefully it's not a serous illness, but even if it's a continuing issue with meds, it seems like he's not someone we can pencil into the lineup with any confidence. And that's a problem, because Ivy is not starter material, IMHO.

Oh yes, blowing up the 2nd ranked defence in the NFL is such a good idea isn't it? :grbac:
Every other team in the NFL has to cope with some sort of weakness in their defence, more often than not in the secondary. We're starting to experience that and our D is taking a step back as a result. Every other team that is considered a competitor has their other units step up, our's don't.
As for Rolle being a waste ever since he arrived, that's just absolute trash. He was better than McAllister his first year here.........

Maybe because in his 7th season he has missed games in 3 seasons... He can be officially labled as Injury prone, especially when considering the fact that he has played hurt many times as well.

We may have been the 2nd ranked defense but it was because of Rolle. He was beat sooo much last year and this year he isn't doing anything to imporve his play.

Are you some sort of joke poster? Seriously, you have to be a parody poster there is no way anyone is this stupid.
We are CURRENTLY the 2nd ranked defence in the NFL, and one weak link does not mean the whole unit needs blowing up.

Wow, I hadn't noticed that.
Doesn't mean you blow up a top unit though does it?

It is a known fact that Ed Reed was responsible for a lot of those as Rolle let them go because of the coverage. Reed freelanced too much and it made Rolle look bad.

Maybe you dont understand the role of Safety.
Reed is cleaning up Rolle's misques. If a saftey is making tackles on a wide out, then 99.9% of the time its because a CB missed a coverage.

!!!!????
Houston that is incorrect. Safeties are routinely assigned to coverage that calls on them to tackle wide outs.
Perhaps you mean they are not often assigned to cover wide outs in 'man' coverage, that might be closer to the truth. But the fact is safeties are routinely covering zones, or providing planned coverage on certain routes after receivers have been released by whoever was covering them before, or blanketing receivers in double coverage or something.
There is a lot of wrong in this thread, so much that even UKRavenStockers is getting snarky. That's saying something.

This comment is so wrong it's Tex-like. I guess if a defense is playing zone coverage the CBs are responsible for all tackles, even those outside their zone. :insane:
Not to mention that both the Ravens and Ed Reed said he often free-lanced on a play, not giving Rolle the coverage support the defensive scheme called for.

Maybe you don't understand Cover 2?
I saw this story and I think it was this offseason where Samari Rolle and another NFL player went to Africa. It was a story because they had plane troubles and thought they were going to die. I wonder if he got something there? Just a thought.
I would like to know what the illness is but I understand privacy. He doesn't have to disclose to us.

Yeah, we lost sooo many games being blown out by throwing at Rolle! :grbac: Perception is not always factual!

The way our QBs hang him out, I am surprised the dude is still alive. I think that Heap has a bad hammie. Those injuries take weeks to recover completely.

I heard on the radio and I read on ESPN a few weeks ago that Samari Rolle has an irregular heart beat, and that's why they are having problems with his medication.

And you don't think is more of a result of poor offensive play and play calling, then our D. Any way you want to look at it we are still one of the best defensive units in the nfl, you don't have to like it, but it is what it is. We have maybe 1 loss if our offense could just put up some points. Again for the last time we can not blame our D for our record, any real fan would be able to realize this!

Rayvens52 you keep saying that but it's wrong.
The defense has to shut out every team. The offense has to put up 1000 points every game. I don't expect either side of the ball to be perfect but they both bear some responsibility for a failure to meet one of those goals in a loss, and they both get some credit for approaching those goals in a win.
It's not an offense v. defense thing, it's a Ravens v. other team thing. Repeating yourself does not make you right.
The talent on our team is mostly on the defensive side of the ball. They have to play like it, and saying the offense is not scoring enough points is not an excuse.
Injuries are the biggest problem now, truth be told. Jabbing fingers at a quarterback or a coach is overlooking how much we are hurting at key positions on both sides of the ball.
