Ravens @ Bengals New Year's eve Ravens @ Colts opening week. https://www.baltimorebeatdown.com/baltimore-ravens-schedule/82519/baltimore-ravens-schedule-2026-nfl-games-rumors

3 new head coaches in the AFC North make it a blind turkey shoot to see who wins or has a winning record. Will Cincy, the only team not to change head coaches, finally find a defense and even start fast? Or at least start above 500? Will Pitt and Cleveland find a decent qb? Can the Ravens fix their line issues to give Lamar time to fart let alone throw? Yeah, a lot of questions in the North, but how long will Mahomes be out? Will Vrabel’s issues off of the field, who's the daddy, affect the Pats on the field? Can the Chargers stop being the Chargers of yester-year, and finally put together a winning season rather than doing their best to lose at the end? Until we know the answers to these and many more questions, the league is once again wide open

Well, clearly guard will be a rookie, who starts, I think Rivers, a rookie, takes over the slot corner, making major contributions. Hibner, another rookie, takes over the number 2 tight end left open by Likely leaving and has some big contributions. And of course along the defensive line, while I don't expect a starter, I do think we see some major contributions from a couple of the rookies.

Chicago Bears (.550)Miami Dolphins (.542)Arizona Cardinals (.538)Green Bay Packers (.538)Kansas City Chiefs (.536)New England Patriots (.531)Las Vegas Raiders (.529)Buffalo Bills (.528)Los Angeles Chargers (.522)Carolina Panthers (.521)Minnesota Vikings (.519)New York Jets (.517)Los Angeles Rams (.516)Seattle Seahawks (.514)Denver Broncos (.512)Washington Commanders (.502)New York Giants (.498)San Francisco 49ers (.497)Pittsburgh Steelers (.495)Dallas Cowboys (.493)Tampa Bay Buccaneers (.491)Jacksonville Jaguars (.490)Philadelphia Eagles (.481)BaltimoreRavens (.479)Tennessee Titans (.476)Houston Texans (.474)Detroit Lions (.467)Atlanta Falcons (.465)Indianapolis Colts (.465)Cincinnati Bengals (.450)New Orleans Saints (.434)Cleveland Browns (.429)

I think we might see a number of rookies get significant playing time, and, play well.

Too much for a guy on his last legs. Let them rookies play...

Next week, the 14th according to Espn

If is the biggest word in the dictionary, but yep, all indications are that he can place the ball. Oh and be very consistent with punts, something our last punter was not

https://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/ryan-eckley-sam-koch-ravens-rookie-punter-nfl-draft-2026 Ryan Eckley was drafted to replace departed Pro Bowl punter Jordan Stout, but the Ravens see him being more closely aligned with Stout's predecessor. Sam Koch punted in Baltimore for 16 seasons and a franchise record 256 games. He's a legend who changed the game forever. A sixth-round pick just like Koch was in 2006, Eckley is looking to carry on the Ravens' punting prowess, and Senior Special Teams Coach Randy Brown see shades of Koch in Eckley's game. "Ryan is more of a shot maker," Brown said. "Jordan was more of a home run hitter, then turned into a shot maker with his pooches and with his boomerangs. "Ryan doesn't have the Sam Koch qualities from '06 to, let's say, '13, when Sam was more of just a directional turnover guy. It's more of the Sam Koch towards the end of his career." Even though Koch was a revolutionary in the sport, he only made one Pro Bowl. The guys with big-time power and long hang times often get the attention. But the fact was, Koch made life hard on returners with his wide range of punts. That's what the Ravens expect from Eckley, who led the FBS in punting average at 48.5 yards in 2025. Eckley gives the Ravens a bunch of different "shots" they can call and hit, which Brown loves because he calls the game the way a catcher does for a pitcher. "We try to put the ball where the returner isn't," Brown said. "We try to put the ball where the returner's not expecting it.

I don't have much faith in Issac, he should have shown some sign of improvement, even with the injuries. But he has not and when you factor in he just hasn't been able to stay healthy, his time is coming to move on
