Man, keep the good news rolling in!

I find this theory to be very implausible. Too much risk, too little reward. i know if I owned the team I'd never have done it.

They did sit a bunch...but we didn't have a few on offense play either. We probably won't get a more accurate read until the season starts. I was impressed by our team speed on both offense or defense and the effort put out, especially since it was a preseason game. I have to say our coaching approach is doing a good job---so far.

Right on with all the comments in all the above posts. Lamar's a leader and has that 'it' factor Ray was talking about. He gets teammates to believe in him and, even better, believe in themselves. Max, noticed your shout out to Saunders. It's been well deserved!

Well, he had a pretty good rookie year if I remember and we're in pretty bad shape at LG now. Chances are they still might have gotten a 7th round conditional after one more week of practice. I do believe though that it's better to get something, even a 7th rounder, rather than nothing. I just think the front office could have handled this a little better. Maybe I'm spoiled by all the good moves they've made in the off-season.

Now that he can practice I think they should have given him a chance; we're not exactly overloaded with left guards.

Well that post made my day regarding the offense. I wonder how the D stacked up. Really glad to hear Orlando Brown is out of the doghouse. We need him playing. I feel he'll have an even better year this year than last year. With Lewis unloaded I am concerned about the LG situation. We really don't have a starting guard. They may have to make a trade.

Take it easy...there's still 5 weeks and 4 preseason games before they count for anything. We'll know more in 2-3 weeks.

Ah, let us not forget this is training camp. The preseason will tell us more. The first two regular games, even more. But I can't help being fired up myself.

Yep my interest is stoked too. Hopefully things like injuries are kept to a minimum. But, just think...it'll be the start of a season where we don't have to yawn at the upcoming offense!

More good news: https://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/ravens/ Brown is in the building.

Yep...good news abounds. Really looking forward to seeing Boykin in action along with Henry and McPhee. If all this news is more than just smoke, the Ravens will be a force to reckoned with.

Well, they've got two again...https://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/ravens-sign-free-agent-quarterback-joe-callahan Anybody know this guy?

I think illegal procedure penalties are usually plentiful in the first days of camp. If I still see them at the third preseason game, then I'll worry.

If this positive vibe carries over to the time when games actually count, the sky will be the limit for this team. Of course we were hearing much the same about Joe last year at this time. Difference now may be the quality of the talent around the QB.

Crap...shame about RGIII. He's the perfect backup for this team. I'm surprised a hairline fracture will sideline him for 8 weeks but I'm no doctor and grasping the ball obviously means using your thumb. Maybe he'll heal faster? Great night for the rest of the Ravens. Can't wait for the first preseason game.

There are no weaknesses in the secondary. The offense sounds super exciting. Time will tell.

Here's some more news on this... "Right tackle Orlando Brown Jr., left guard Jermaine Eluemunor and outside linebacker Shane Ray all returned to practice made their training camp debuts after missing Thursday because of failed conditioning tests." https://russellstreetreport.com/2019/07/26/camp-notes/training-camp-notes/

They would be in trouble but I have confidence in him.

We're in agreement. Griffin is needed, the others are good trade bait.

Good news! https://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/marquise-brown-and-michael-pierce-have-passed-their-conditioning-tests

Agree.

Yep...but I don't think he scans the whole field very often, But they're right...to succeed he'll have to do better there.

Interesting idea but is Jacksonville looking to trade him? I sure hope you're wrong about Brown. I think we are going to need him way before week 8.
