    Just imagine this, three cornerbacks. Samari Rolle, Chris McAlister, and Deion Sanders, all on one team. Imagine the possibilities if they were to go nickel against a passing offense. I know his return will spark up some arguements but I'd like to say only one thing, welcome back Deion.

    To me Deion doesnt seem to be a big threat n e more. Hes getting old and is losing speed. I think he needs to work hard and then may get to be above average.

    Depite that i think he had 6 picks, which makes him better than any corner giants have

    Eh...you mean he caught six passes that were batted up in the air by the REAL defenders on the Ravens' defense, right? It's not like tight coverage on his receivers resulted in those picks. He was just in the right place at the right time...kind of like Terrell Buckley's entire career.

    N e one can get an interception. It doesnt matter how many INTs u get it matters how many yards and catches are made on u when covering them. If a CB had 0 INTs but didnt let n e one score it wouldnt get me mad as if someone 6 INTs and let 6 TDs.

    "If this is the last go-round, I want to go out with everything I've got," - Deion Sanders

    That will be my new tagline because Deion has just signed a one year contract hoping to play one more year with the Ravens before retiring and now Coach Billick is looking towards trying the 46 defence.

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>OWINGS MILLS, Md. (June 8, 2005) -- Deion Sanders signed a one-year contract with the Baltimore Ravens after passing his physical, then announced himself ready for another season.

    "Feeling good, looking good," Sanders said. "If women weren't present, I'd take off my shirt and show you how good I look. Trust me, 37-year-olds can't do what I do.

    "I don't have personal, selfish goals," he added. "I'd like to add another Super Bowl."

    His return to the team was delayed for several days while his orthopedic surgeon in New York examined Sanders and reviewed the results of an MRI of the foot. The seven-time Pro Bowl cornerback will turn 38 on Aug. 9.

    Sanders, playing primarily as a nickel back, finished second on the Ravens last year with three interceptions. He was limited to nine games because of his toe and hamstring injuries.

    By his flamboyant standards, Sanders made a subdued entrance June 8. He wore a gray T-shirt and a large gold chain, a striking contrast to the burgundy-and-gold suit he sported when he joined the Washington Redskins before retiring in 2001.

    "Things have changed: I'm an old man," Sanders said. "I don't have to impress you. I can pull off my cape and pull off my mascara and allow myself to be me."

    An eight-time Pro Bowl selection, Sanders intercepted two passes against the Buffalo Bills, returning one for a touchdown, and was named AFC Defensive Player of the Week.

    "The only problem is how can I perform, how long can I stay on the field," Sanders said. "That's something I need your prayers about. If I stay on the field, I'm going to make plays."

    Unlike last year, when Sanders ended a three-year retirement days before the season began, he'll have sufficient time to prepare. Sanders said he hoped to practice June 9, the final day of the Ravens' four-day minicamp.

    "I was at a pool laying out when they called me to come back last year, tanning, a black man tanning at a pool," Sanders said.

    This year, "I've been training for a couple of months now. When you're older, trust me, you have to train much more so than the young guys."

    Sanders acknowledged that he's not ready yet for the change of direction that the cornerback position demands. He added that he has been mixing sprints and distance running along with playing basketball since June 1.

    "I just think I can make plays. These fans in Baltimore deserve that," Sanders said. "My teammates, they want to see me do my thing. That's the unfinished business. I gave everyone a commercial last year. I want to give them a movie."

    With Sanders, the Ravens secondary will feature the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year in safety Ed Reed, along with Pro Bowl cornerbacks Chris McAlister, Samari Rolle and Dale Carter. The secondary has a combined total of 17 Pro Bowl selections.

    "I think it could be one of the best secondaries assembled, and that's saying a lot," said Sanders, who also expressed a desire to play on offense.</div>

    Hes a Raven now!

    Is that two separate thoughts? I don't see how signing Deion helps a 4-6 defense option as opposed to being without him.

    Deion will still be an OK addition for nickel/dime packages at times. It will be interesting to see how often they go into the 4-6 and if it will work well. I think they drop back to a 3-4 or 4-3 more often though due to matchups, but I'm sure Buddy will be pushing his kid.

    I hear you on that. Best corners in the NFL on the best defense in the NFL. How bout that. Plus he can return punts as well and we all no about primetime and his returning skills.
