Cooper follows through with his threat

I like Williams' attitude. Hopefully it catches on with the rest of the D.

Yeah but, what kind of car does he drive?

The Ravens gave up more yards than the Eagles last year on defense and were in the middle of the pack in terms of scoring defense. Cary Williams wasn't part of the Ravens of the early 2000's. Jesus, they gave up over 30 points twice in the playoffs.

But, image trumps reality.

The Eagles D would've given up 60 and 70 pts against Manning and Brady in back to back weeks on the road in the playoffs. That's the difference.

Based on talent/production - Barwin, Chung, Cole, Kendricks, and Ryans might all have a chance to start on the Ravens off the top of my head. Maybe even Graham..

Lol.. this is a joke right?? Kendricks, Graham ???? These players are average at best if that.

Also Cole is on the decline and probably wont last in this 3-4 D once he is exploited, a D that the Ravens run.

I will say the guys you just listed would be back-ups on the Ravens. Hell! they would be back-ups on 85% of the NFL teams around the league. Hence Williams a reject coming here to start on the Eagles.

The Ravens lost half of their starters on defense; you don't know what you're talking about...

[nerd]

I want to see what happens this year before I say who is average or whatever. Their secondary blows... but I think that Graham.... Kendricks...cox and a few others do have talent. They could end up being average but it's too early to pronounce certainties.

Again, what Ravens team are you talking about? Their defense was average last year and they lost a lot of players.

And I specifically mentioned Cole and Graham being starters in a different scheme. That's not a talent issue.

I'm not saying that the Eagles defense wasn't terrible but you're under some huge misconception that the Ravens defense was all that good last year. They were average. They were no Seattle. Williams didn't come from some awesome defense that just had too much talent to keep him. A large reason he played so much last year was because of injuries in the secondary.

But, tout him as some tough, hard-nosed player coming from a stout defense if you like. You're wrong, but carry on I guess. I'd prefer to see him play well prior to the extracurricular toughness. But that's me.
