Another small but positive sign about Lamar: https://ravenswire.usatoday.com/2023/05/26/ravens-qb-lamar-jackson-ready-to-be-more-of-a-vocal-leader/

Good catch. Well...we'll see, I guess. I know Marquise Brown said he couldn't run as fast until they came out. Hopefully, this'll get sorted in the OTA's so that if they do have to come out he can still be ready by training camp in July.

I have my concerns about Bateman. Those damned LIsfranc injuries can take 2 years to recover. I wish him well and I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Is he playing with a plate and screws in his foot or were they able to remove them for the upcoming season?

With Monken running the offense, I'm ready to get excited again.

...a lot of money.

Good move for a guy who was a true Raven.

Some more upbeat news: https://theathletic.com/4551138/2023/05/25/baltimore-ravens-organized-team-activities/

Agree with all that. Maybe Lamar is growing up as he gets a bit older and under Monken's tutelage.

Well all of that is music to my ears. Looks like things are getting off to a good foundation.

I guess better a day late than not at all. I wonder if any of his teammates got after him.

Very unhappy about Lamar not being there. No way to learn a new offense and be a leader.

Lamar better show up for this one if he really cares about showing he's a team leader and a winner.

Yes...Roquan is the real deal. And so is McDonald. I'm glad we have both of them. And Monken too.

He was the greatest back I've ever seen play. Relentless as he ran over and through defenses with guys hanging off him. Fast too. I'll never forget the match-ups he had with another great, Sam Huff.

Well, they are hungry so if they stay healthy with the guys they have, the rest of the league better take notice.

That is really good news. I'm very impressed with McDonald too. And also with Monken and the whole concept of 'football school'.

Not too worried about him physically...just some concern about making the mental adjustment to being football ready this year. By mid-season he should be there I hope.

He should do well filling in but mostly as a road grader. His pass protection has been iffy. All in all a decent move.

Sounds like he plays like a Raven!

I guess we'll find out on May 22nd. https://ravenswire.usatoday.com/2023/03/24/dates-for-ravens-2023-offseason-workout-program-released/

Good stuff. Let's hope Lamar shows up for OTA's.

I heard on the wbal-tv sports that the Ravens have the one of the most traveled schedules in the league in miles flown. I hate night games too. 'Course, I'm old also.

Yes. I know I'm looking forward to it big-time.

What we might expect in 2023... https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-what-could-the-baltimore-ravens-offense-look-like-in-2023

He's definitely got a fast motor. I just hope he can stay healthy at his size in the pro's.
