Protect the ball week: "The Giants don't have an interception this season, but they've been adept at takeaways by forcing 10 fumbles this season and recovering six."
QuoteThe Baltimore Ravens defensive linemen have a saying that gets repeated often in the meeting room, during practice and on the sideline on game days. It’s essentially the group’s mantra.
“Earn the right to rush the quarterback,” they say.
There’s only one way to do that.
“You have to completely knock out the run first. After that, it’s a field day, basically,” defensive tackle Broderick Washington said. “We’re trying to get after the quarterback, but you definitely got to earn the right to do that. If not, teams are just going to keep running the ball.”...First-and-10: Key matchups and subplots for Ravens-Giants, plus a prediction - The Athletic
Barkley might keep them busy all day "earning the right."
Look Out Wink Stat: "Jackson is the league’s second-ranked quarterback against the blitz, completing 36 of 53 pass attempts for seven touchdowns and one interception."

It might be close for the 1st half. Ravens pull away and win 27- 17. Nothing against Wink...

Lamar's going to pass 20-35 times a game. Bateman will be back soon and he's damn good. After watching Duverney the last 2 weeks, it looks like the Ravens have solved their #1 and #2 WR riddle. Now they need more from Dickson (he played 70% of the snaps only to have 1 catch) and Likely. On the 2 big misses last week Wallace and Duverney...just think of what's to come. Wink will go cover 0 and put 11 on the line. Going to be fun to watch

The Giants are a worthy opponent. I think they were our 3 starters in their secondary and Rodgers couldn't exploit that. And they have Barkley. I also think the Ravens will run over them this week. They will stop the Giants rushing attack a force Jones to beat them and he can't. Should be a fast game with all the running.\

Ravens practice report ThursdayRB Justice Hill (hamstring) returns
Four players not practicing
WR Rashod Bateman (foot)
OLB Justin Houston (groin)
G Ben Cleveland (foot)
TE Nick Boyle
Ravens WR Rashod Bateman misses his 5th straight practice. He hasn't been out on the field since injuring his left foot in the third quarter against the Bills (Oct. 2).With Bateman sidelined last week, Devin Duvernay was the only Ravens WR who received more than two targets.
Ravens left tackle Ronnie Stanley (ankle) returned to practice Thursday after getting a rest day yesterday.Baltimore could still rotate Stanley and Patrick Mekari at left tackle on Sunday.
Justice Hill, who has been the Ravens' most explosive back this season, returned to practice Thursday. He had been sidelined since injuring his hamstring in the fourth quarter against the Bills (Oct. 2). Hill leads all Baltimore RBs in rushing yards (125) and average (6.6).Oweh is getting double teamed and held.

For all their talent up front, the Giants rank 24th in pass-defense efficiency, according to Football Outsiders, a result of their struggles covering tight ends and No. 1 receivers. Their safeties and linebackers are ripe to be attacked in the middle of the field....The Giants rank 31st in passing yards per game, and quarterback Daniel Jones has thrown just three touchdown passes, but he does not have a lot to work with.....The Giants rank 21st in run-defense efficiency, according to Football Outsiders and have allowed opponents to average 5 yards per carry.......Ravens vs. Giants scouting report for Week 6: Who has the edge? – Baltimore Sun

Giants have the #2 rushing attack. 179 yards per game for 5.4 ypc. The Ravens are averaging 5.4 ypc also.
Stop or at least limit the damage that Barkley can do. I don't see the Ravens playing much zone this week. Safeties up!

Ever since the loss to the Dolphins I keep thinking that the Ravens simply need to weather the storm until week 11 when everybody should be healthy.

Today's Quote: "Outside of tight end Mark Andrews, there is no reliable target for Lamar Jackson in the passing game -- which could turn into an issue. Baltimore's wide receivers have combined for 542 yards receiving, the second fewest in the league. Rashod Bateman, who was expected to become the No. 1 wide receiver, has struggled to stay healthy and is dealing with a left foot injury. It will be a challenge to move the ball through the air with few people to throw it to. Of the Ravens' next 12 games, eight are against defenses that rank in the top half of the NFL against the pass. This poses a challenge to securing a playoff spot. -- Jamison Hensley"

Ravens now have three guys who are in the midst of that 21-day window where they can practice before they have to either be added to 53-man roster or revert to I.R.
Gus Edwards' window started on Oct 5. Tyus Bowser and David Ojabo's window started Oct. 12.In closing, playing the G Men is nostalgic....
The game played out as if it was Sehorn vs Ray.

More JPP: "At end of last yr, I had supraspinatus, rotator cuff tear, biceps tendon tear, all of that. I basically got a whole new shoulder. I feel way better. Since Game 3, I was playing w/one shoulder. Imagine playing w/one shoulder as DE. I couldn’t grab, I couldn’t snatch."Jamison Hensley •

John Harbaugh declined to answer whether today was a planned day off for Ronnie Stanley. “I will let the injury report speak for itself,” he said.

John Harbaugh confirmed NT Michael Pierce is out for the season after having surgery on his torn bicep"My energy is going to say it all, especially when it comes to game day," JPP said. "My energy is going to take over and you're going to see the reason why everybody loves me and would like to have me on their team. I'm pretty sure everybody knows that by now. But we'll see.

Yes...they are desperate....
QuoteThe Ravens signed veteran outside linebacker Jeremiah Attaochu to their practice squad Tuesday, further bolstering their depth at an injury-laden position.
Baltimore also added guard Zack Johnson to its practice squad and released veteran cornerback Daryl Worley, who was on the 53-man roster.
Attaochu, 29, is entering his ninth NFL season. He was with the Chicago Bears last year but tore his pectoral in Week 5 and was released in June.
A former second-round pick of the Chargers in 2014, Attaochu has 20.5 sacks in his eight seasons. His best season was in 2015, but he recently had a strong campaign in 2020 with the Denver Broncos, logging 5.0 sacks, 31 tackles and nine quarterback hits in 13 games (five starts).Ravens Sign Jeremiah Attaochu and Zack Johnson to Practice Squad (baltimoreravens.com)

This sucks. Lamar could throw on them all day. I hope it's simply the weatherman being a Drama Queen. They love attention, like me....
In 3 games, Rookie C Tyler Linderbaum has 103 pass block snaps. He has allowed just 3 pressures (all 3 hurries) w/ 0 QB hits or sacks. 2 of the 3 pressures allowed came in his first half of his first game against Quinnen Williams. C is a lock for 10+ years.

Normally one of the top rushing defenses in the NFL, the Ravens are allowing 5.0 yards per carry through three weeks. Only four teams are giving up more. Through three games, the Ravens are the least penalized team in football. They’ve been called for eight penalties. Lamar Jackson ahead of blistering 2019 pace; potentially replacing Michael Pierce - The Athletic
QuoteWhat a cool story authored Sunday by veteran outside linebacker Brandon Copeland. The 31-year-old was out of football when he signed to the Ravens practice squad. After essentially three practices and a walk-through with his new team, Copeland was elevated to the active roster and was needed to play 26 snaps on defense and four on special teams after Justin Houston went out in the first quarter with a groin injury. Copeland notched his first sack since 2019, and he did it for his hometown team. Copeland, a Baltimore native whose grandfather, Roy Hilton, played for the Baltimore Colts, broke into the NFL as an undrafted free agent but never got an opportunity to play a regular-season game with the team — until Sunday, when he had one of the most memorable moments of his career.

Buffalo’s secondary, meanwhile, will be without several projected starters. All-Pro cornerback Tre’Davious White will miss Sunday’s game while he continues his recovery from a torn ACL last season. All-Pro safety Micah Hyde is out for the season with a neck injury, and Jordan Poyer, the Bills’ other All-Pro safety, was inactive Sunday because of a foot injury. Rookie cornerback Christian Benford (Randallstown), who started Buffalo’s first three games, fractured his hand Sunday and will miss several weeks.Ravens are four-point home underdogs to the Bills in Week 4 (baltimoresun.com)

3. Miami Dolphins (3-0, No. 4)
4. Philadelphia Eagles (3-0, No. 5)

Max, I too wondered about the Bateman "fumble". I don't think he possessed ball long enough to be called a fumble; should have been ruled an incomplete pass.
Hey va! Harbaugh is waiting on the league's response. He has to be careful with what he says.
Jeff Zrebiec • [2:42 PM]
Harbaugh said he's yet to hear an explanation from league about Bateman's fumble. The Ravens didn't think there was possession. "It doesn't really matter what we think." Said he'd like to hear the explanation, so he has a better idea about what and what not to challenge."Jeremy Fowler on Twitter
“Jason Pierre-Paul's new deal with the #Ravens includes a guaranteed base salary, a $150,000 signing bonus and playing time/sack incentives that can get him above $5 million in overall pay, per source. Won't surprise if they put him to work right away.” -

Well, we did drop a lot of points on Miami's D and the Bills were not able to, so we have that going for us, which is nice?

The Truth: Lamar Jackson has spent his career doing things nobody in the NFL has ever done.
And this game is not a prime-time game! The fucking Broncos, the most boring team in football have 7 prime time games!
And Bateman did not fumble that ball. It was not a catch!
