Purple vs purple, gold vvs gold, who will win, we don't know

Kyle Shannahan & or Jeff Hostler

Another edge rusher, some say is the best skill wise though I am not sure the Ravens will get a shot at him. From Mel 10. Rueben Bain Jr., DE, Miami* Height: 6-3 | Weight: 275 | Prev. rank: 9 2025 stats over seven games: 36 tackles, 5 tackles for loss, 2 sacks, 32 pressures, 3 run stops, 1 forced fumble, 1 INT Bain is powerful and has really strong hands. He routinely gets the best of some very good offensive tackles, often with his dominant rip move, and he knows every trick in the book in getting home to the QB. Bain also shows speed and bend off the edge, and he takes good angles. Plus, he can hold the edge against the run and get off blocks to chase down ball carriers. His tape is just filled with disruption. But even with all those A-level traits, it's actually Bain's hustle that really stands out to me. He never takes a play off and fires at the ball on every play. His arms are shorter than most scouts prefer, but there's so much to like with his game. Opponents have to account for him in their game plans, and he can keep them guessing even then with his inside-outside flexibility. https://www.espn.com/nfl/draft2026/story/_/id/46573669/2026-nfl-draft-rankings-mel-kiper-big-board-top-prospects-players-positions#

An edge rusher possibly in the 2nd, likely in the late 1st; David Bailey, Texas Tech He has gotten better each year, now a senior with 11 sacks thus far in the season. Good speed, plays against a lot of mesh point offenses, read & reacts well. Excellent tackler who can, though not always, hold the edge, has recovery speed to chase down plays. I do not totally agree with this particular assessment, it is a pretty good point of view. While he does play aginst some poor competition, even against the quality teams, he shows good hands to nock down offensive tackles hands. Good strength to bull rush and a quick spin move to get pressure. This eval seems to think he can only be a rotational player, I, and many others think that he can be more. A 2nd round pick would be a steal for this guy, 6'3-260lbs https://bleacherreport.com/articles/25258657-nfl-draft-2026-scouting-report-texas-tech-edge-david-bailey

Rust, calves are a source of power, until you can get the strength back that leg will be weak. Same foot, same shoulder works for blocking and tackling

Fully healthy, full participation at practice today

Guards, Bullock and Jones, already on the team, question marks? Sure, but all indications are they can be really good. Why neither has seen the field is anyone's guess. Same reason maybe why Cleveland, who has shown he can be a real good guard & or center; Harbs/oc coach. Smith at mlb may be slowing but he still one of the better ones. Weak side backer yes, maybe Buchanan, but Im not sold on him. Still, the draft can help there. Left tackle, draft, some good ones in this comimg draft lower in the round, even better ones in the 27 draft which is expected to be one of the best drafts in a while. You forget, this same team, minus a player or two, had one of the top offenses in the league last year. The only major change was at guard, one guard spot. Wven with the weak play of Faalele, I might add. The biggest issue I surmise is the ol coach. Last year he said he wouldnt change much when he took over early in the season. But this year clearly he has changed something because it is no longer a top running line, nor pass protecting. The offense as a result, no longer tops in the league. Sure, the injury to Lamar missing 3 games didnt help. But aside from the Bills game, they cant or haven't run consistently nor extended drives. Remember last yesr they lead the league in 90+ yard drives. So not so far away, change the ol coach

That is where we differ. I think, based on the last few years, that this team is close to being back to what it was, last year. One draft can fix it, one or two free agents can. Yes, a coaching change or two as well. Little tweaks that will make a better outcome. You heard the players, they got their feelings hurt when they lost the way they did in Buffalo. This team as it sits, was on the brink of blowing out Buffalo again. Then they got it in their minds that Buffalo would just roll over and boom. What they did and said after the game shows you that the coach was mostly to blame for not keeping them in the right mindset. For not helping them get over themselves. Thus the clunkers since then. Yes, this team needs a left tackle and 1 or two guards who may or may not be on the team on offense. Defense, a big body or two up front, again, who may or may not be on the team. Rush end, inside backer, all of which can be had in the draft or via free agency next year. This team has so many free agents after the season, there is going to be player turnover.

For years the Baltimore defense, even with Ray, has a habbit of making rookie/first year qbs look hall of fame. JJ is not ready for the NFL, as Brady and many other commentators have said, while he has the mind, he only has 1 type of pass- the "fast ball". He is not great at the drop in the bucket deep passes, nor the touch pass needed along the sideline or in double coverage. Their defense- 14th over all, 194 passing yards per game, 122 rushing, 23 pts per game. They are -4 in turnover differential, with 3 picks, causing 6 fumbles. But- (you knew that was coming) they are 11th in sacks with 23. With this line, Lamar should pack his track shoes

Rich Eisen did a great run down on his Jets yet another rebuild. Is this what you realoy want papa? Get rid of Harbs, Lamar, Stanley, Henry, Andrews, build the draft picks and have a rotation of grest drafts with crappy coaching, great coaching with crappy drafts year after year cutting loose players after their 4, 5 years is up? I certainly do not

Where is he going to go that is better than here? This team is not, yet, a perennial loser, it honestly needs a few tweaks. Fix the evaluation process for the drafts and free agency. Something is a miss there either scouts, coach, or front office. Clearly they need a new line coach as we have discussed. A new DC perhaps. But does he want to go to Carolina? Or some team like that that is far worse, from owner to ball boy, than here. Lamar does not strike me as that type of player or person. Look at Burrow, as good as he is when healthy, and the great weapons he has, they have to score a ton of points to win. Not a fun career especially when his line falls apart and he gets beaten to a pulp.

Well, the Jets had good drafting, except at qb. Coaching and front office are the issue. The Ravens got into this mess because of bad drafts the past few years and stubbornness by the coaching to stay with favorites who are not getting the job done. Madds is a good example. His neck injury, who knows if he will play again. With what was given up for Williams, get him, you don lose much and cover the base if Madds has to retire. They know that they have to restructure Lamar before next year, why wait? Had they got it done, even more cap room for Williams and if Madds does come back, trade Williams next year after the season, let those two play together- better than Goose and Adams. You are facing losing a defensive tackle or two after the season anyway....

I've given up trying to figure this team, this organization out this year, not because of losing, not because of moves they have made or not made that I don't agree with. No, because of what the players, coaches have said this year, the excuses, the ridiculous statements they hwve made. Claims that changes will be made, fans expect too much, this coach is doing poorly, but the one who actually is, is excused and blame placed on the players. Yeah, we, fans are fools, sure, sure tthing.

Nice. No major move by the Ravens, tells me that the front office is not sold on the idea that this team can turn things around completely. I wonder, do the players feel the same....

Ravens should have made this deal given the uncertainty of Madds

Quinnen Williams to the Cowboys, The Jets are getting a 2026 second-rounder, 2027 first-rounder and defensive tackle Mazi Smith from Dallas.

Not sure Howie would leave for a lateral move essentially. But that dude is making some great moves. Not sure how he is working the cap with these guys..

Kane released, are they making room for another move? Jets just got 2 1st round picks plus Adoni Mitchell (no big deal there) for Sauce Gardner wow

The start of the holiday season is quickly approaching. For some, they have already started putting up lights and other decorations trying to jump start the cheer. But ya can't put the car before the horse if you want to get anywhere. What does any of that have to do with a football game between these two teams? Maybe nothing, maybe everything. Both teams are trying to keep their post season hopes alive, but you can't get to the post season without winning games in the regular season. The Vikes finished last year with 14 wins in the regular season, but didn't get much further. They even took a giant leap of faith by jettisoning their starting quarterback in favor of an unproven quarterback still recovering from a season ending injury and with no NFL experience. Yes, they are clearly dragging the cart with the horse tided to the back end. While Baltimore "bought a present" for their lackluster defense, how he will perform, if he will make a difference, not even Santa knows. They are 4-3 lifetime against the Vikes with Baltimore winning their last match up in Baltimore 34-31 in overtime back in 2021 making Lamar 1-0. Jackson rushed for over 100 yards, threw for 266 yards and had 3 scores. For Baltimore to win, he may have to put up similar stats, maybe use some magic corn from the Winter Warlock to help his defense. So, who ya got?

Ya know, just as some are better coaches as assistants than they are at head coaches, maybe Eric is better as a number 2 rather than a GM..... time will tell but it hasn't been a great start
