The sad part of the game. A recent study of post death brains of former NFL players who died between 2016 and 2021 found that 1 in 4 had CTE. SHOCKING Now, this was a small sample size, comparatively speaking and even worse, this disease can only be found once the patient has died. Nonetheless, I really wish they could narrow this down and show results that could pin point how many concussions, how severe do they need to be? Loss of consciousness? how many times? I know I've had close to 10, with less than a handful of losing consciousness. Even then, I'm 60, and other than struggling with short term memory, have no other symptoms. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/49721156/study-shows-least-25-nfl-players-develop-cte

49ers owner arrested in a prostitution stingy that also involves human trafficking. He reportedly contacted the website 3 times before heading over to the trailer park. Plead, quickly, to some bogus charges of trespassing. With his money, what, you can't have a few high class on call? If not for his money, he would be facing far more serious charges.

It is gonna be interesting to see how Minter rosters this team. Generally there isn't room to keep 3 qbs on the 53 man roster

No, no reports of a Raven player getting injured

Minter's comments on the defensive line are great to hear. He thinks it will be the most competitive part of the roster. The young bulls have done well to shine.

Yeah, Snoop does niot need more action, he's been around the block quite often. Let Nano start, play the 1st half with the starting line, sans maybe Stanley, can't afford to lose him.

Mini has a very good defense but they rested a lot of their starters. It was nice to see the Ravens 2nd 3rds and beyond dominating that of the Vikes counterparts. That is what you want to see. This defense appears to have great depth all over it. The ones who won't play alot of defense will be excellent special teams players.

This defense is stacked wifh Dawgs, especially in the 2ndary, wow. Nice to see Eckley rebound punting, 55 yard average, good hang time. Loop solid on a 49 yarder. This starting line has to get it together, still not consistent in pass nor run blocking.

Grub, I am sold on Nano, he has a nice smooth release, easy to catch, accurate, in the right spots to aid in run after catch and take smaller hits. Throws well on the run, keeping his eyes down field. Not very good back peddling and throwing, but then few are. Good arm to make all of the throws. As I said early though, I doubt that he moves ahead of Snoop. Dont like sweeps at the goal line, very conducive to holding penalties

Well, based on the latest news on Bate losing his cool down in GA, I'm sure there will be a few games someone will have to fill in for him..

Yep, pretty easy to diagnose a torn up knee, even a broken ankle, but there is always those who cant handle or describe pain well...mm

Well, to be fair, sometimes they have to wait for the initial swelling to go down before they can get a clear xray or mri picture for the extent of an injury.

He is stacking em up day by day

Torn pcl for Pinter, per NBC

Yeah, the individual drills, for me are the key. The 11 on 11, while "important", it is still practice and this early, offenses are usually behind. Especially with a new line and and new coaches. Sounds like the secondary is really playing well, should have had a few interceptions in the 11 on 11 segments.

Some 1 on 1 from today

It was his knee. The Chargers also lost their center to a torn acl

It's one thing to pit one team against another to get a better deal. Quite another to have a verbal handshake on a deal. I have no issue with changing one's mind, however, I highly doubt that the "better offers" came at the last minute, not once, not twice, but 3 different seasons. Nope

Z Smith back tracks once again, this time, screwing the Browns (who could blame him) and signing with the Falcons. Last year he signed with the Eagles on a 1 year $9 mil deal, only to retire after 5 games. You might remember him playing here and agreeing to a deal with the Ravens after a banner year with double digit sacks. Only to reneg on the deal and sign with the Vikes. Ozzie offered him a four-year, $35 million contract worth up to $50 million with incentives. Stay tuned, he might retire again...

Oj Brigance passed away.

Its football, players hit, injuries happen. Sucks, I feel for the Cards fans, their first four picks are all hurt, 2 of them out for the season.

Good to see you back Dee and Grub. Nano, my name for him to honor my late great childhood friend, is a rookie, an older rookie but a rookie. I do agree, this offense, & Lamar, are moving toward a pocket passing scheme. Snoop can do well in it if need be, we just can't expect him to throw for a lot of air yards, just run after catch yards. Im sure now that the Miami cast off has been put on ir, Nano will be the 3rd qb if he continues to shine as he did. But a pocket offense needs a great line, or at least a good line. 1st preseason game, they were average at best. While I do expect them to be better than last year, it will take a little time. Here is a pretty good look at the line, while it focuses on loane, you can focus on any of them.

Fagnano did just what they wanted him to do; give the pass catchers a chance to shine. Really nice job. Now, is he a one hit wonder? Punting issues I think were nerves, trying to do too much. He should get things straightened out. Loop, sadly, I think I agree, time to put pressure on him and bring in another leg. That first 49 yarder was clearly just poor aim, left hash, he, for some reason started it just off center to the right and it kept going right. Can't have that; was that simply an oops or is he having issues with alignment?

Just what we wanted to see: aggressive, dominant in one on one match ups, consistent in scheme. Just one preseason, but it is shaping up like this will be a banner draft class.

Yep, starting at 7
