I think it deserves it's own thread. It's quite amazing, has he mad history for fastest recovery from an an achilles tendon? I would think so.
| Quote: | Ravens activated Terrell Suggs (Achilles) off the PUP list, and he will play on Sunday in Houston.
It's a surprising development, as many in the football universe thought that the Ravens would hold Suggs out through the team's Week 8 bye. Baltimore cut 2010 second-round pick Sergio Kindle to make room on the 53-man roster. ESPN's Adam Schefter nailed the Suggs news from the jump. Suggs will look to energize a Baltimore pass rush that has recorded just 10 sacks on the season and a defense that just lost Ray Lewis and Lardarius Webb for the season. |

Let the havoc begin 
* In a kind of surprising move, we cut Sergio Kindle in order to make room for him.
2010 draft looks like one of the worst ever in Ravens history now. |

I'm more nervous than excited, I think. At least as far as him possibly playing this week goes.
Obviously, the Ravens coaches know far more than we do about the situation, but I'd feel far more comfortable if they just let him get back into the swing of things on the practice field until week 9 at the earliest.
Regarding Kindle, I guess it's tough how circumstances sometimes conspire against you, but I can't argue against the decision to cut him. He's really not shown much of anything to suggest he can make an impact on the team.

Ravens cut sergio kindle and activate linebacker terrell suggs doesn't mean suggs is playing though on sunday for kindle end of rough tenure |
All they're doing is placing Suggs on the active roster, it doesn't mean he will play. At first I was surprised that they cut Kindle then I thought about it and then it wasn't much of a chock. Kindle has done absolutely nothing and the fact that he's barely been active this season when they needed him the most says a lot. The 2010 draft wasn't really that bad.
Sergio Kindle
Terrence Cody
Ed Dickson
Dennis Pitta
David Reed
Arthur Jones
Ramon Harewood
The fact that Kindle is the only player left not on the team (Reed will probably be cut soon too) isn't good though. Both the team and him got dealt such a crappy hand when he hurt his head. The concerns about Kindle's knee was what let him drop to the top of the second round (remember the slight controversy over that pick when the Ravens time ran out and New England hurried up and took Gronkowski?) but his talent never materialized after missing all that time his first season and then having the lockout during what would have been his first full training camp.
Oh well, time to move on. I don't care what the team has invested in the position recently they need to add explosive athleticism to the pass-rushing unit. I'm not expecting a DL in that mold so an OLB seems more likely. Dion Jordan come on down! |

Nearly seven months after tearing his Achilles tendon, reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year Terrell Suggs will play in the Baltimore Ravens' game against the Houston Texans on Sunday, NFL Network has learned.

You know I'm really optimistic. They say he looked really good in practice. So if he is Sizzle again, having that second elite player getting after the QB sould open up things for Upshaw, Kruger, and McPhee. And McClain and Ellerbe are both capable. I think by the time the playoffs get here we can be a better team than we were last Saturday.

2010 wasn't a bad draft, Kindle was just one of the worst picks we've ever had. No stars, but just about everyone outside of Kindle are solid contributors.
Cody is a good rotational lineman who fits our defense, Pitta looks like a decent #1 at TE for the future.
Dickson has regressed this year but I still have faith that he'll get it together and be a nice complimentary TE.
Reed didn't work out, but Arthur Jones is another solid rotational guy, and I can't complain one bit about Harewood as the 7th round project pick. I'll take 2010's draft.
As for Sizzle, great news, we need him now more than ever. |

While I'm glad he's back, I'm tempering my expectations somewhat.
I think it's more likely he comes back in 2009 type form (the year he came into camp overweight and only got 4.5 sacks for the season) given that he probably hasn't been able to do a whole heap of lower body strength exercises to build back up his explosion off the snap.
However, I'll be more than happy to be proven wrong

I'd be much more comfortable with him debuting against Cleveland, but we can only hope for the best here.

Right now, I'd be happy if he was simply able to help stop the defense being gashed every time the ball is handed off to a RB.
And if he can possibly help them generate a bit of pressure on the QB when he's attempting to throw, then that would be an added bonus.

"It's" coming, and "it" looks extremely out of shape.

Glad we finally got rid of Kindle.
I'm not too thrilled about this at all. But only Suggs knows how he feels. And Suggs with one leg would help our crappy pass rush. |
