I don't know who said it but a player or coach said "you can't be a $10 million player with a 10 cent work ethic". Read in the Sun today that Pocic and Vinson stood out and played very well. Andrews finally had a good day too---TD pass and another catch in the Red Zone.

I heard that too...hoping it's not a run on our corners for another season. Any word on what exactly is the status of Wiggins' knee?

All I can say at this stage is that he is articulate and very enthusiastic.

From Josh Tolentino, " Adam Randall could steal the preseason spotlight With Minter announcing that several established starters, including Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry, are not expected to play in Saturday night’s preseason opener against the Philadelphia Eagles at M&T Bank Stadium, the exhibition will give players fighting for jobs and larger roles an extended opportunity to make their case. Running back Adam Randall’s roster spot appears relatively secure as a fifth-round pick out of Clemson who was handpicked by owner Steve Bisciotti. Randall’s expected summer workload still makes him one of my most intriguing players to watch over the next three preseason games. The 6-foot-3, 232-pound running back looks the part. Randall has shown reliable hands during receiving drills and rarely wastes a rep as a primary ball carrier. Over the past couple of padded practices, he has broken tackles, changed direction effectively and consistently finished his rushes with maximum effort. Randall, a converted wide receiver, is still learning the nuances of playing running back in the NFL. The preseason should offer coaches and fans alike a clear look at how far along he is in that development. I wouldn’t be surprised if the rookie steals the show."

Right...and soon we'll begin to find out. One website I was on said Ravens would probably keep 4 running backs on the roster.

Sounds like a multi-week event, maybe.

Wiggins injured and carted off field...appears to be a left leg thing...apparently got feet tangled up with Lane on a 1 on 1 drill...no further word at this time. https://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/nate-wiggins-carted-off-ravens-practice-field-optimism-jesse-minter

Yeah, Bullock at guard sounds like a typo. He's earned at least a shot as Center, though I think Pinter has been solidifying his chances at Center according to news reports. I'm not worried about Randall. I've got an inkling he'll show his worth in preseason. We'll know a whole lot more about all these guys after the Philly game and next week's joint practices with the Vikes.

I'm not sure how much I like the idea of an assistant coach being delegated that task. Seems like one more step where communication during the heat of the game can go awry. As for Randall I'm also interested in seeing how he does in the game. There's been good reports on him so far. Sarrat, I don't know. Seems like Lane has moved ahead of him on the hype chart so far. I like Sarrat too and hope he gets a chance to catch the ball.

You must have read my mind. I was going to post about this myself just now. Yeah, I'm concerned about the sloppy play and pre-snap penalties. The offense hasn't yet adapted to the variable cadence that Doyle is attempting to put in. Actually, pre-snap penalties have been the bane of the offense for the last several years and that was even when the cadence was more regular. It's a simple thing but one the team just hasn't been able to get down on. This week will be interesting...what with the game coming up on Saturday against live ammunition, the offense is going to have to show signs of getting over that hump. As you said camp is half over. Time to be weeding out these problems. Good news on Loop so far, but can he do it in live situations? I thought they should have brought in a kicker to compete with him. I would have like to see him up against an average veteran to see how he did but the team elected not to do that. And our punter draft choice hasn't had an opportunity to punt out of formation against a rush?? I find that to be somewhat negligent on the coaching side of things. A lot to find out this week for sure.

That's good to hear about Jones. I've been worried about him especially. But now the whole D-line is shaping up. I am looking forward to watching the game Saturday evening so as to get a good look at our rookies and depth. Not expecting a win. Looking for a good effort and no injuries.

The kid's got talent catching the ball, no doubt.

Doesn't sound serious but I'm getting superstitious about our guys getting injured right after signing long term deals. It's almost like we're jinxed or something.

I am looking forward to seeing Lane and him in pre-season. Hopefullly Huntley has time to throw. I also like what I'm hearing about the rookie RB.

I gotta say, I've never seen so many drills I've never seen before. Some of those coaches really took some hits. And I was glad to see Sarratt make that catch.
