Boy did Western Michigan get hosed. Sure, it may have been the right call, but if that game was between them and say Appalachian State, they don't make that call. If you missed it, Michigan was down with seconds left in the game.. They toss a hail Mary that sails out of the back of the endzone, into the arms of a Western Michigan player who is standing out of bounds. The clock hits 0 and Western Michigan celebrates. Problem, Michigan is Michigan and playing at home. After review, the clock should have stopped with 1 second left on the clock because the ball touched a player out of bounds. Had the player let it fall to the ground, 1 more second would have run off: according to the review officials. So Michigan gets one more shot at a Hail Mary and they catch the touchdown for the win. For shame

Yep, just sit back and see how this now, mostly younger team, coaches included, comes together and wins

A lot can change between now and the end of the 2027 season. Some surprise players will turnout to be solid qbs, ones no one expected. by then maybe Nano turns out to be the real deal, sitting and learning the position for 2 seasons, who knows. Maybe the Ravens work out a trade for Lamar that he agrees with and the Ravens get 1st, 2nd and a 4th for him or something along those lines. Or maybe, Lamar gets his money that is workable for the Ravens. I don't think he is all about the prestige of top paid in league history. He already has generational wealth, several generations if he invests and spends properly. This isn't about him making the Hall of Fame, he has already pretty much made it to Canton. I truly believe he knows, to be considered to be the best ever he needs a ring or two. Afterall, the last time he was up for trade/free agency, when he was young and putting up sick numbers both on the ground & in the air, no team wanted him. So why would any team be willing to pay him gobs, when he will be much older and that much less of a threat with his legs?

The problem is: anyone can look good in the preseason. Yes, our defense looked great, but look who they faced at qb! So we stay with Nano, if he doesnt pan out, we are set back five years. Gone are the days when your defense can consistently hold teams under 15 pts. Gone are the days of Trent Dilfer qbs winning the Super Bowl thanks to an historic defense. Here to stay are the days when it take a qb who is tops, who gets $40-60 mil per. Sure, you can get by on a rookie deal for a bit. Get lucky and win one during that span, then what? Get rid of him ala Dilfer, and start over? We saw how that went, with an historic defense. Pay Lamar, we can win with him with a decent line and an above average defense. Not an historic one

The Ravens have a new head coach in Jesse Minter, and a new offensive coordinator in Declan Doyle, and quarterback Lamar Jackson says opposing defenses don’t know what’s going to hit them when the season starts. Jackson told Adam Schein that he’s excited to unleash an offense that hasn’t been seen before. “I just can’t wait to showcase it,” Jackson said. “I don’t believe a defense is prepared for what’s in store for them.” Doyle was the Bears’ offensive coordinator last year, but in Chicago, head coach Ben Johnson implements the offensive system and calls the plays. Minter has a defensive background, and this is Doyle’s first opportunity to run an offense. Jackson said it’s an exciting scheme. “It’s a lot of moving parts, it’s guys flying around,” Jackson said. “Everything you need in an offense, play action, dropbacks, run game, everything you need in an offensive system.” Jackson didn’t play at all in the preseason, so we haven’t seen what the new offense looks like in his hands. We’ll see it in Indianapolis next Sunday, when the Ravens open the regular season against the Colts. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/lamar-jackson-on-ravens-new-offense-defenses-arent-prepared-for-whats-in-store

I guess we should be happy if he stays out of massage parlors

Competition for what it's worth, but certainly not good competition, man am I tired of Michigan players

Welp, Nano made the initial 53,

Very good special teams player and can be situational on defense.

Im guessing the trade of Cj is a sign that Beeks is going to be ready?

Ravens trading Pounds for a future pick According to Mike Garafolo and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the Chiefs struck a trade with the Baltimore Ravens to acquire rookie offensive tackle Diego Pounds. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the trade compensation “is contingent on the picks that Kansas City has available at the end of the season; it could result in either a Day 3 2027 pick or a Day 3 2028 pick.”

I was pulling for Webb Jr, and a bit surprised by Longerbeam being let go, though this is a deep part of the team. One or both should make the ps me thinks. No other real surprises so far

The Giants acquired C.J. Okoye from the Ravens for a 2028 seventh-round pick, The Post confirmed.

Minter after the game, on Loop “You want to see makes in games,” Minter told reporters after the 41-2 win. “And so, it’s something we’ll continue to look at. We’ll continue to look at what the best situation is there. He has had a good camp overall, but again, it comes down to making the kicks and the pressure situations in the game. So, that’s something I think that we’ll always be looking at to make sure that we’re doing what’s best for the team.” Per NBC

They need to take Loop, the center and holder to M&T stadium every day and have him practice kicking there from the right hash.

41-3 now, man, the guys for the Comandos really suck, much like this new game announcer for the Ravens, he is bad.

Gillury shows why catching with your hands is so important, especially when having to dive for a ball. Catching with your arms/body allows the ball to hit the ground.

24-0 at the half, quite dominant, should be 30-0 but Loop cant seem to make field goals from the right hash Nano, while good numbers, was a bit off today so far. Even that touchdown to Wester who made a nice snag of the ball behind him (the only place it could be) was late. Some of that is on Wester for not slowing down his route after getting past the linebacker, but most was on Nano. Solid running from both backs, the defense, attacking the ball carrier on, from, every level. Now that is how Ravens play defense. I'm not sure what they will do or can do about Loop. If kicking from one hash to another is this big of an issue.....

He is a rookie, plenty of teams have any number of them who "showed out" in practice & or preseason. Shoot, look what Gabriel did for the Browns the other day. What, do you want to lose Martin out of the 2ndary? Kid is quick, smart, very instinctively, and fearless. But a numbers crunch in the secondary may mean putting him on the practice squad where he will definitely get taken or traded. There are a number of solid players in the 2ndary who are young and talented and, have huge upside. Not too mentioned the defensive line, a plethora of players, say that 3 times fast.. Figure 9-10 offensive linemen 3-4 tightends, likely 3 3-4 runningbacks/fullback, since Declan doesnt use a fullback, they will all be runningbacks, so maybe 3 2 qbs, 1 on ps 5-6 wrs 5-6 defensive linemen 5-6 outside linebackers/edge rushers 4 inside backers 6-7 dbs 4-5 safeties 3 specialist On average for the Ravens, Minter will likely be somewhere in that ball park

If ya have 30 or so mins, this is a fun watch to get ya ready for the season https://youtu.be/wqgnurlLLIg?is=cQgC7sMehFs5hHcD

A number of young qbs have put on good-great shows this preseason. While Nano has done a great job with the opportunities he is given, I don't think there is room for 3 qbs. They can stash him on the practice squad and call him up on game day as qb 3, which will not count against the 53 man roster but will give them an option should injuries occur.

More from this week's joint practice
