This is how clueless Ireland and Sparano are...

[h=2]Ravens find another solution with Andre Gurode[/h]http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/09/26/ravens-find-another-solution-with-andre-gurode/

"In late August, the Ravens offensive line looked like the team’s biggest weakness.

Thanks to two late free agent pickups, it may wind up being a strength. We wrote about left tackle Bryant McKinnie’s impressive debut a few weeks ago.


Another former Pro Bowler, Andre Gurode, made his debut as a starter at left guard on Sunday and looked great by all accounts. Gurode needed some extra time learning how to play left guard after starting at center for so long in Dallas."


We could have signed both of these guys and really solidified the line. Instead, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb decide to go with Colombo and Vernon Carey.

Ireland and Sparano are who we thought the were!

When we gonna let em off the hook?

 

[GoonBoss]

I thought we didn't like Ex Cowboys now....

 

[Vaark]

It's ironic (or is it idiotic) that they grab all the Cowboys crap but pass on actually good players who can fill positions of need. :idk"

 

[X-Pacolypse]

Gurode sucks.

 

[DcDolfan420]

Were going to the superbowl. Oh wait I'm just drunk. But were gonna beat the **** out of the skins and cowboys

 

[napsndreds]

hes an ex cowboys, would you not have whined up a storm over that?

McKinnie made it known 1, he wanted to start 2 He would not play Right tackle. so he was out of the question regardless of who the GM was

Gurode has never played LG in his life. They played the Rams with a pass rush worse then ours. Watch Gurode against good teams front 7s, he is going to get buried.

Uhhh...no. Gurode has been one of the best at his position for the past few years. He was cut because of health concerns and to save cap money. It wasn't because he couldn't play. I don't mind getting Dallas players who can actually play. Colombo was awful last season and Dallas was thrilled to get rid of him.

That's where a smart GM can negotiate. For Christ's sake, at least bring the guy in for a visit and tell him what your plan is. Sparano and Ireland have no plan.
