Kindle is partially deaf in one of his ears, so he's an absolute lottery. Dude does have all the athletic abilities and has produced before. I think he hasn't played because the Ravens didn't want to rush him. Although it is a huge blow, it could be the best thing for BLT. Last year they were healthy and were never in a precarious position, so to speak. Kruger, Kindle, and Upshaw are all great prospects; especially Kindle and Upshaw. Kruger has been learning and waiting too. Both him and Kindle are in contract years... I smell competition. Now imagine Suggs coming back 9-10 games into the season, hungry to prove everyone wrong. Look what happened to the Giants when Umenyiora came back. The way I see it, this could really be what brings this team together.I honestly didnt know Kindle was still on a NFL roster, let alone the team that drafted him. Havent heard anything about him since the endless staircase incident. I liked him coming out of college, but no clue how I should feel about him now. I guess if he might not have made the roster, that says all you need to know. Then again, he's still been making the roster the last few years.They would definitely be much worse off had they not been able to get (or passed on) Upshaw, but who knows what kind of player or impact he makes as rookie. Luckily for him and the Ravens, being a pass rushing specialist is probably the easiest position to just come into the NFL and play. That said, he's still a rookie and he fell to the 2nd round for a reason.'Sweet Love said:Upshaw was drafted to replace Jarret Johnson from what I have read, which means Kindle just won the lottery (literally), since I read something a couple of weeks back that he was on the roster bubble.Feel bad fo' da' sizzle.'Mohawk said:Next Man up! Sergio Kindle are you there? Upshaw? Wow. what a blow to the Ravens D. DPOY out. OUCH!
