  1. Warren covered poorly by Buchanan, gain of 12

    Wr screen is dropped

    Quick out get 8 on 2nd and 10

    Run on 3rd down gets 3

    Buchanan drops into coverage, but doesn't get proper depth leaving a wrecking wide open to the Ravens 15

    Quick out is dropped, Kane in tight coverage

    21 seconds

    Jones tries a double move , Tampa all over it throws it away, was not open

    Fade route to the endzone, Kone goes down in a heap holding his knee, does not look good, pass is incomplete 

     

  2. Jones in Richardson out hurt shoulder

    After a completion to Warren for 12, Jones should have been picked off by Kone, who just couldn't bring it in

    Run once again goes nowhere

    3rd and 8

    Pocket collapses, Isaac and Green get credit for making a Jones Sandwich 

  3. Ravens opening drive, fade route to Wade, Wade loses sight of the ball, gets picked.

    Ravens defense gives up 1 first down, then continually collapses the pocket, forcing a field goal.

    2nd Ravens drive results in a Mitchell 20+ yard touchdown run. He does look back to his speed, making nice cuts outside and exploding down field. 2 20+ yard runs on that drive

  4. Per Jonas Shaffer, the offense picked up where it left off. Practice, Colts, but...

    Ravens’ first-string offense scored on almost every play early in red-zone period. Zay Flowers (end-around), Mark Andrews (catch) and Justice Hill (screen) all found the EZ. Offense fell into a rut afterward. Penalty wiped out a run TD, and a blown block ruined a shot at the 4

  5. Per PFF. I doubt many of their stats, but this one stands out as true as we all say last year. Having a running qb helps a ton, add in a back like Henry, and quick, speedy wide outs = touchdown more times than not in the redzone.

    The Ravens were clinical near the goal line: Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry powered the attack, but Rashod Bateman, Mark Andrews, Isaiah Likely and others were equally effective.

    1. Baltimore Ravens (85.0)
    Baltimore was efficient at every level in the red zone last season, ranking first in PFF passing (94.2) and receiving grades (77.6), and finishing second in PFF rushing grade (80.8).

    Lamar Jackson completed 50 of 73 red-zone passes for 447 yards (fourth most) and 36 touchdowns (most) while tossing only two interceptions. He ranked second in big-time throws (nine) and passer rating (112.8) from the red zone. Jackson was one of two qualifying quarterbacks to finish the season without a turnover-worthy play in the red zone (Caleb Williams).

    Baltimore leaned on its tight ends in the red-zone passing game, with Mark Andrews (32.6%) and Isaiah Likely (27.9%) leading the team in adjusted target rate. Andrews caught 13 of 16 targets for 121 yards and 11 touchdowns. He ranked in the top five among tight ends in red-zone yards, catches and PFF receiving grade (88.9), and he was the only tight end to record double-digit red-zone touchdowns last season.

    Rashod Bateman was the Ravens' most targeted wideout (12) in the red zone, bringing in nine passes for 109 yards and eight touchdowns.

    Derrick Henry graded out as the second-best red-zone rusher in the NFL last season (80.6), with 61 carries for 189 yards (both top-five marks). He tied for first among running backs in touchdowns (15) and missed tackles forced (16) in that part of the field.

     

  6. Preston is a boob, I've been at camp years ago, every day and watched Preston and some other media members sit around talking to each other behind the stands, out of sight of the field for hours. 

    Only to then do a write up about how practice went.

    Take what he says with a grain of salt, I'm sure he still operates the same way...

  7. There is a lot more at the link, on Urban, on how well Alexander, 2 picks, is doing learning the defense, in his own words: "Alexander had another strong practice and said he's about 90% of the way there with learning the defense.

    "It's becoming muscle memory now," Alexander said.

    On battling, wantingly, willingly, to battle with Hopkins

    "He's a GOAT, man. He's a legend in this league," Alexander said. "I always want to go against D-Hop. It's good on good."

  8. Andrew Vorhees hadn't heard Head Coach John Harbaugh's comments that he's leading the left guard competition, which was also reflected in the team’s first depth chart of 2025, until someone told him a day later.

    Vorhees approached Sunday's stadium practice the same way he had gone about all the others this summer.

    "It really doesn't mean a whole lot. There's the old saying, 'Rent is due every day,'" Vorhees said. "Just having that approach knowing that it could be lost at any given time motivates me and gives me fuel to the fire to push myself to be the best I player I can become."

  9. As the Ravens' holder, Jordan Stout has a front-row seat watching Tyler Loop every day.

    During Sunday's open practice at M&T Bank Stadium, 26,052 fans saw what Stout sees – a talented rookie kicker who seems to be gaining confidence each day.

    "You guys saw him today, right," Stout said. "He's pretty good, huh?"

    Loop was 11-for-11 on field goal attempts, including a 60-yarder that drew a loud ovation from the crowd. Afterward, Loop found himself surrounded by media in the Ravens' locker room, being asked about having a day in front of Ravens' fans.

    "Beautiful stadium, beautiful environment, I love the purple," Loop said. "The fans are great. It's such a passionate city for football."

    As the first kicker drafted in franchise history, and the Ravens' first new kicker since 2012, Loop knows he's being thrust into a pressure situation on a Super Bowl contender. However, he's simply focusing on getting better each day and not comparing himself to Justin Tucker or any other kicker.

    "Tuck is incredible, I would say he is the greatest of all time at this position and he got there by being process-oriented, picking his targets, hitting his targets," Loop said. "That's something [Special Teams Coach] Randy [Brown] and I talked a lot about. We're going to build your process, and we're going to stick to it."

    The Ravens waived undrafted kicker John Hoyland on Saturday, leaving Loop as the only kicker remaining in camp. Loop said Hoyland definitely made him a better kicker, and he anticipates seeing him have success in the NFL. But on Sunday, Loop took center stage and kicked lights out at the stadium.

    "He's going to be good. [His confidence] has got to skyrocket, right?" Stout said. "Overall, he's a pretty confident guy in the first place. I think he's confident now in the best way possible."
