Well, Minnesota is having no problem winning without a qb. I guess they got tired of relying on theor defense so they traded for Cousins. But clearly they had very good drafting, building that defense, the lines on both sides, through draft and a few key "cheap" free agents. This team would look remarkably different had the drafting been better, on defense, on the lines on both sides. Yeah, we can say the 100 million plus qb is why we suck when he is out, but maybe, just maybe, it goes deeper than that..mmm

Given how slowly he heals from other injuries, I would think 10 weeks at the minimum, best to just sit him until next season.

Officially a dislocated and broken thumb, ouch. 6-10 week recovery according to The Minter, for Lamar.

Not necessarily, given his age, and what it take to draft a lineman with those picks, have the right one be there, teach them etc. To me, either way it is a good move provided he pans out, which, all indications are he will.

But what about guard, I notice he only made a veiled reference or was I reading too much into it? That knowledge should help Neuzil pick things up on the fly, but head coach Jesse Minter said Neuzil’s arrival doesn’t mean current center Cam Jurgens will be knocked out of the lineup. “I think he brings versatility,” Minter said, via the team’s website. “I don’t anticipate anything changing with Cam and what position he plays. We think he’s like the future of our offensive line. I think it’s just a piece that adds depth. I do think he’ll have flexibility as he gets here, as he gets going. Wherever that leads I think we’ll see as we go.” https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/ravens-not-planning-change-to-starting-offensive-line-after-ryan-neuzil-trade

Rex, taking his fetish to another level

10 or 11 different teams since leaving college, career 86% on field goals, 96% on extra points, with a career long field goal of 54 yards. I guess beggars can't be choosers

From the home site The Ravens are working out Riley Patterson, Harrison Mevis and other free-agent kickers after losing Jake Moody with Tyler Loop on injured reserve

Oh I agree on the kicker situation, I cannot believe they left him on the ps, knowing that they had no one else. Regardless if they never thought another team would grab him, a team they traded with, they should have been far more conscious of the possibility. Even if this was about how they apply his salary, the difference can't be that much

Nano showed in the preseason he could play very well against grocery clerks. He shows every day, in practice, what he can and cannot do, which we, fans & media, do not see. He showed in the game that he was unwilling to throw down field against real NFL players, contrary to what he did in the ppreseason.i watched the routes, I saw Flowers being double covered, but Bateman, Lane, Walker at times behind the defender with no safety back there. I saw this on several plays and each time he chose to throw short or into coverage. The front office feels, right or wrong, that this team is legit as far as playoffs. The defense, the half against the Bengals, and the Bills, showed that they can shut down anyone. Now, can they do it for 4 quarters? I doubt it, they haven't for years, but the front office obviously believes so. The Minter has already said that Humphrey and some others would get reduced rolls, same for the offensive players. Finally someone who sees what we do; and is willing to make change. That is why they want a more experienced qb behind center. If Huntley had not been hurt, they would have sadly stayed with him, hoping to win against the lesser teams until Lamar came back.

I think given Ledford's anger the last game was the last straw. Vorhees is gone and they get a player who know what to do. Sometimes technique is better than size.

The Colts traded away most of their wrs, but kept Taylor, now that is nuts. Cinci needed help at their defensive line, made a trade then backed out because it would have cost them a comp pick along with the low draft pick they traded for the player...

My bet, he is going to replace Simpson, but in the least, he is depth at center. Given Eric's lack of quality with late round picks, I don't hate this move

Vikes give up just a 3rd for Cousins....

Brilliant! Not, we are not amused The Ravens are facing another change at kicker with Tyler Loop already on injured reserve. Atlanta is signing Jake Moody from Baltimore's practice squad to its 53-man roster, according to Jordan Schultz. The reported move leaves the Ravens needing another option after Moody handled kicking duties during Thursday's 33-10 loss to Jacksonville.

The Ravens should trade Madds, but they can't since they just reworked his deal

Iggles just traded Jordan Davis for a 1st and 2nd round pick to the Jags, wow

I would be leary bringing Lamar back early from this broken thumb on his throwing hand. Seen many of qbs try that and two things happen. Inaccurate passes and fumbles because they cannot grip the ball well. Lamar already has an issue with fumbles, sure, let's let him scramble, maneuver in the pocket unable to grip the ball... With that said, I fully believe the Chargers get their first win.

Yeo, the Ravens cannot seem to catch a break, unless it is a thumb. No Lamar Jackson, again, he is out for sometime but told his teammates that he plans to play again this yes. Maybe he should rest that broken thumb, he might need to hitch hike out of Baltimore, but I disgress. Both teams are trying to stop the bleeding of a losing streak. Baltimore has list four in a row, the Chargers, 11 in a row dating back to last year and are thirsty for their first win this season. A nice break for rhe Ravens would have been playing this game on Sunday at 1pm, where west coast teams trwveling east for the early game seem to struggle. But no, this will be a Monday night game, oh joy.. Who will start for the Ravens, the rookie who struggled mightily in his first start, a blow out loss, or their newly aquired quarterback, Jacoby Brissett? It might matter, The Brisket is a gun slinger who thinks a man is open when there are 3 defenders around him. Yes he likes to take chances by pushing the ball down field. That could pay dividends as the rookie missed numerous chances down field with nothing behind his reciever but the endzone. He elected to hang onto the ball and dump it down.. So who wins, will it be a tie? Who ya got?

I'm sure it was Harbs calling about Hill. I can't imagine anything more than a 5th or later

Apparently teams were calling about trading for Hill, not Henry, whom the Ravens "say" they are not trading before the deadline Side note; Georgia has a tight end that just might be the fastest one I've ever seen...

Well, Hendrickson was the right call, you cannot foresee injuries and that, those broken fingers have hampered him clearly. Even with the injury and missed game he is on par with he who shall not be named after the canceled trade. They hit on Flowers and Bateman to some extent, I think opportunity is more the reason Bateman doesn't really stand out. But that is it, and no edge rusher to speak of has been drafted/ developed to this point. Key positions Eric has missed, for years. Now we face, possibly trusting him to find a qb if Lamar leaves?

Funny thing is, he gets high marks for his drafting, in early rounds, but low scores in later rounds. He even scores higher than Snead, Rams, and Roseman, Eagles, which shocks me. We all screamed the fall off from play the last few years was Harbs, but clearly, while it was time for him to go, it was also many of the players

Ravens traded a fourth-round pick in 2027 and seventh-round pick in 2028 in exchange for Brissett and a fifth-round pick in 2027

If you look at the list, some have turned out well and left for more money. Some are still developing, we hope. Others are just not living up, but most, most, are either out of the league or, so far down depth charts that they usually work only on special teams.
