Funny, players complaining about the turf now adays. Less injuries back in the day playing on far worse turf. Maybe if they practiced more there would be less injuries

The Ravens are in their best health of the year going into Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The only player Baltimore ruled out for the game is outside linebacker Odafe Oweh, who didn't practice this week as he continues to rehab from an ankle injury.
Offensive tackles Morgan Moses (shoulder) and Patrick Mekari (illness/chest) both had full practices this week and have come off the injury report. Baltimore will have its full offensive line.
"We're close to full strength," Head Coach John Harbaugh said. "That's big."
Moses missed his first game since his rookie season last week in Pittsburgh, snapping a streak of 134 straight games played. Then Mekari went down midway through the game, pushing Daniel Faalele into action. Moses has been playing at a high level this season and his return will pay big dividends for an offense looking to bounce back after scoring just 10 points last week

Yeah, I don't understand why they went for the deal. Two good runners, on cheap deals, makes little sense. Even if they get a low draft pick or let hom walk and get a 4th round comp pick would have been better.

We lay another egg in London, discover new ways to lose, Lamar poops the bed again, Harbs gets outcoached by Vrabel, throws a new person under the bus, and we come back home 3-3. More heads are spinning
Good to see you back VA! Say, what happened? You use to be a cheery one, sunshine and unicorns, has Harbs and the time away soured you?

This will be a tough one for sure. If it was here, at home, I would say the Ravens bounce back and put a whoop'n on the Titans.
However.... One thing the struggling Titans can do is run the ball with Henry. Three years ago they ran his tires off, 28 times for 133 yards, me thinks they will try that again.
One thing the Ravens defense has shown is an inability to hold the edge, mostly early in games. They seem to toughen up as the game goes on. In 3 games, Henry has averaged 4.2 yards per carry against the Ravens. That has to change.
Passing, however, the Titans have struggled, thrown five picks, averaging just 7.4 yards per attempt, largely because they can't protect Tannioverthehill, (63% complete) given up 17 sacks so far this year, 186 yards passing per game.
They have only scored 7 touchdowns this season, 5 by rush, 2 pass.
This is the area the Ravens have to dominate, pressures, sacks, picks.
Their defense is not very good, but not horrible either. They have 13 sacks on the season, giving up almost 39% on 3rd downs, They have given up 5 tds in the air, allowing 240 yards per game.
Moses is expected back along with Mercari, so the line should be fine. The Titans are giving up 94 yards per game on the ground, pound them, something that they should have done to the Steelers in the 2nd half. You can run the rush legs off of their pass rushers, take the starch out of their blitzes.
If the team can stop Henry they can win this thing. If they get caught up trying to prove that last week was a blip and the last trip to London an aberration, they may repeat both....

It's not the Roman offense. There have been plays designed to go down field. But, either Lamar has been unwilling to throw, or he has not had time, or, he had over thrown.
In the Pit game, one series he had Andrews in the flat on a 3rd and 8. He had Obj on the right side doing a curl, Flowers on the left doing a curl, and Bateman between then doing the same.
The defense was in a cover 3, safeties back. Flowers and Bateman were wide open, but Lamar dumps it down to Andrews who fights for a first down. Hit either Flowers or Bateman, it is at least 15 yards.
Another series, the same personnel, same routes save one; Flowers, he is on a skinny post, a stop & go. It worked, he is splitting the safeties, one of whom bit on the stop and go, wide open down the seam, Lamar has time, but choses to check it down to Obj for a short gain.
They ran a similar set up later, Lamar did throw the ball but Flowers was on a over route, Lamar threw the ball to the deep middle expecting Flowers to take his route toward the endzone, rather than the sideline. Flowers fell trying to adjust to the badly thrown ball. Who was right? We will never know.
These are just a few plays that; Roman never never ran and 2) Lamar chose not to throw or missed badly.
Receivers are open, the timing is a bit off with blocking, losing Mecari really hurt, the big first year right tackle was horrible.
I found it interesting that Lamar, who championed not wearing a wrist band, wore one for the entire game.
This game just snow balled on them, the receivers lost focus, tried too hard and boom, drop passes like Kim K drops men.
But Lamar, a supposed good leader, should not have lost "hope". He really looked apethic in the later part of the first half and the rest of the game.

Let's hope that they "get out of the quick sand", where when everything is going right then suddenly it all goes wrong, and you realize that you're in over your head, like quick sand" Shane Falco
"Coach, I look like I jacked off an elephant"
Yes, bring back the stick-em for the receivers if need be...

Good thing the site was down, after that apathetic effort, not sure I would want my expletives captured for all eternity. Missed opportunities, carelessness, lack of accountability.
Another slobber knocker awaits against a team the Ravens should dominate...
Thanks Dee, for all you do for us! At least we can count on you!

Per Shefty
: Jonathan Taylor and the Colts reached agreement on a three-year, $42 million contract extension, including $26.5M guaranteed, that makes him one of the league’s highest-paid RBs
So, so much for a trade, one has to wonder why this took so long?
Was this the deal they offered earlier this year?
-
Im with ya, Bateman will be back as well, Humphries and Williams should be back as well!
Pit will be without 5 starters, 2 on the offensive line and their top tight end as well as their punter...
Pit defense is one of the worst against the pass, so you can bet they will blitz a lot and then try to run the ball to control the clock, protect their young qb and banged up line
-
He might be on a pitch count, but Obj will be in da houz....
-
Looks like Picket will start, but will he finish
-
Here ya go buddy, the home site for the team
Also mentioned today, Moses was back on the field, Stanley said he should be suited up Sunday, though no mention of play.
Also, Bowser said he is really close to returning to practice, feeling great with his work outs on the side fields, not in pads.
Shouldn't be long before this team is full stocked.
-
Saw the video with some of the guys returning to practice. Obj looked solid, Humphries, maybe I was just seeing something that wasn't there but he appeared to walk a bit gingerly after a drill.
Don't rush these guys back.... Haven't seen anything about Stanley....
-
Well, Tomlin might step out on the field to prevent, this time, Flowers from going on anlomg touchdown run.
That defense might need him too the way they have been getting gutted.
As Dee said, these games almost always seem to be a slobber knocker.
Worst yet is the trip over seas awaiting the Ravens Monday morning, so let us hope their minds are focused and the line blocks better. Because Watt has taken flak for not producing more and with Moses likely out,that could spell trouble.
-
Maybe, it is just a bone bruise, so Picket may try to play.
-
I thought for the limited snaps that Van Noy played extremely well
With him and the way Clowney is playing, like a man possessed, I think the pass rush is going to be very good as we move forward. Get a few guys back in the secondary and look out...

Yeah, I hate the London games, they are worse than Thusday night games as fsr as normal play from both teams.
I will be recording this one, it airs during my church time. I have no expectations for this game. Being back at full strength is great, but they are in London...
