Hey Frank Walker
-Oct 18, 2009 12:45 pm PT
Do yourself a favor and get out of Baltimore.
Never go there again.

-That applies to almost all of our corners and DB's. (some other person replied)

-(than the fan said) they haven't handed the opponent 2 wins like walker has

LOL Franky Walker blows!

In texans talk forum they said, this was in 2010 before the season.
-Coach John Harbaugh isn't ruling out re-signing free agent CB Frank Walker.
"Frank has got some other options right now, too," said Harbaugh, who insists Walker is a better player "than what people think." Walker hasn't fared well outside of dime packages and special teams work, but there aren't many quality options left on the market.

-Free agent CB Frank Walker is reportedly on the verge of signing with an unnamed NFC team.
The penalty-prone cornerback could provide special teams help, but hasn't proven to be more than a dime back with Baltimore, Green Bay, or the Giants.

-As for this Walker guy, colour me unexcited.

http://boards.baltimoreravens.com/topic/22614-good-bye-frank-walker/ this is what they are saying (again this was before the 2010 season).

-He was shaping up (despite his pitfalls) to be a decent CB. Sure he was pentalized.. but he never let anybody catch the ball. He obviously needs to work on his teqnique but I seriously think he would have stepped up this season. He was someone that when put in.. I wasen't terrifed that the opponent would score a TD. I guess its all a matter of opinion here.

-if you really watch the Ravens last year then you would know that right now we need Frank Walker. Two season ending injuries are you kidding me. It might take both Webb and Washington both till mid season to get back to form.

-Wow, people actually wanted him back... oh wait more over reacting to our corner "situation." Our corner situation is fine we didn't need Frank,

-It's been said over-and-over again, but if this were the NFL of over a decade ago when pass interference wasn't emphasized as much, Frank Walker would be a top ten CB. But, this isn't the NFL of old and you have to learn to play within the rules. Though I appreciate Frank Walker for how well he played in the postseason the past two years, you can't teach an old dog new tricks. He came into the league during a time when P.I. was just starting to draw attention from the Competition Committee, and though he performed well early in his career, the rules bogged him down as his career went on. It's hard to blame him for playing the way he's always been taught to play.

If you go back and watch the games, you can't say that Walker was beaten on a regular basis. Rarely was he ever beaten cleanly. The only knock on Walker was his propensity for drawing flags.

-Frank Walker has been a detriment to our success long enough. Good riddance.

-Maybe this will help stop that sick feeling I get when an opposing QB scrambles around then rears back for the long bomb...80% of the time Frank had some guy in a headlock 50 yards downfield, God love him. :)lmao2: )

-whoever (because I'm too lazy to go back and look through the posts) said that Walker never let a receiver make a catch despite his penalty problems, that's not quite accurate. Walker had a nasty, nasty habit of either getting a nice big handful of jersey, making early contact during a catch to draw a flag, and jumping on the back of receivers. (reminds me of the jets corners, no flags for them)

-I know Walker wasn't good, but we all should respect him. There were times last season when it looked like him Ray and Reed were the only ones who actually cared. He always gave it 100% he just wasnt very good.

-Frank Walker has actually played well during both of the Raven's playoff runs.

-By the end of last season, Frank Walker was the joke of Baltimore. I'm EXTREMELY happy he is gone for good.



He might be a special teams body or but he is physical (maybe too physical at times which causes penalties). But i think he is more of a zone corner. But with our injuries we are going to need him. He did play with the packs and bmore (3-4 defenses) so hopefully he can help us. We might need him for special teams sunday vs the fast and shifty tedd ginn. I would hate for special teams to cause us to lose another game.
 
These types of threads are virtually useless because you get every opinion under the sun.

I'd rather see some numbers on his performance rather than getting some fan's opinion.

Good thing we're going to only use him in dime packages and on special teams.
 
Well, I understand what you're saying and I agree you can't make any judgments on the above. But it is news and worth reading as long as you don't take it too seriously. There seems to be some information. Penalties, plays hard.
 
What would someone think if their team picked up Romo and they came here to read what people thought?
 
Here is what Cowboys Fans are saying: "Have you seen Alan Ball, he might be starting next to Frank"

Thanks for ruining my appetite....

What we don't know about a player is how he fits into our system. I'll trust the coaching staff's judgment.
