Just in case...if last week is lingering....... "We can’t dwell on that,” Jackson said. "It’s still early in the season. We’ve got to focus. We’ve got 15 more games left of the regular season. We aren’t going to let this loss define us.” The Ravens are 3-point favorites, and they need to right this ship really quick and take advantage of the opportunity of the other AFC North teams losing. The Ravens have never won a regular season game in New England. They are 2-10 there all time. Dobbins, Jones, Proche, Stephens and Stanley are all questionable at this time. The Ravens only have 2 OLB's on their roster. Yea....a little irresponsible. Jason Paul Piere is at the Castle today. Maybe they sign him. Nobody else wants him. Why not? ...Eric?..... Linebacker Odafe Oweh has received defensive grades under 50 from Pro Football Focus in each of the first two games this season. That only happened to him once last season as a rookie. the Ravens are getting a whopping 2.6 ypc from runners other than Jackson. Why didn't they use Hill more?

Oh...Mac Jones can throw the deep ball. Somebody tell Macdonald. 9. Baltimore Ravens (1-1) Week 2 ranking: 6 Biggest early adjustment: Turn the run game around The return of running back J.K. Dobbins can't happen soon enough. Dobbins, who has been out since suffering a devastating left knee injury 13 months ago, represents Baltimore's best hope of getting a once-proud run game back on track. With Kenyan Drake and Mike Davis, the Ravens' running backs have totaled 79 yards rushing in the first two games of the season. That's the fewest of any running back group in the NFL. The Ravens will struggle to finish out games if they can't run out the clock like they've done in the past. -- Jamison Hensley Fastest in the NFL.

Wrong. Dolphins vs. Ravens - Team Statistics - September 18, 2022 - ESPN

Means and Ross on IR. [5:50 PM] Kenyon Drake 6 carries. 8 yards. 1.3ypc [5:50 PM] Mike Daveis. 5 carries. 4 yards. .8ypc. "For the season, five of Davis’ seven carries have gone for one yard or less.". "Of the 29 rushes, 10 of them have either gained zero yards or lost yardage. Another six have gained just one yard. So 16 of 29 carries, the Ravens running backs are getting one yard or worse."

Agree with most points. You saw Preston's article....

Agree. This really sucks. Groundhog Day.

This is nice only looking at the nice stuff. Almost makes you forget that it was a bad day.

Only good highlights this morning. I can't seem to remember the rest.

The O had a great day, yet they only scored 3 points in the 2nd half and that hurt their chances to win. The Ravens defense went all out to make sure their chances to win were negligible. At the end of the 1st half, I had this feeling that 28-7 wouldn't be enough. Sure enough on the Phins opening drive of the 2nd half they score...28-14 and gained momentum and the Ravens choked. The rest of the game????

"We would have been negligent if we hadn't worked on it," Harbaugh said. "It was something we needed to get a lot better at, and we studied it the whole offseason. We'll have a plan for it and hope it works, because these guys are probably the best in the league at doing it right now. They do it more than anybody, they do it better than anybody and it's just something they're committed to."

When we had the 2000 D yea. Teams quit on us. Toss out last year. Historic number of injuries. The Ravens are 63-21 at home over the last 10 years. 75%-win percentage. That is outstanding. Ravens opponents have to earn a win at the Bank. Remember the Chiefs, Colts and Vikings games last year when we still had half a team? We still bring it really bad at home. The fans are just as loud and crazy. I go to the games. And I don't think any teams take the Ravens lightly.... like we got a "W." Lot at stake Sunday: "FYI: "The Dolphins have never won at M&T Bank Stadium, which opened in 1998. Miami is 0-4 all-time there and the Ravens want to keep it that way. "

This is a confident Dolphins team coming in. They've won 9 of their last 10 games. That streak started when the defeated the Ravens. The Ravens only won 1 game since. This is a very important game. The Dolphins were the iceberg that struck the Ravens Titanic last year. The Ravens finished 8-9, last in the division. In my world they have to "Show Me" that they are a playoff caliber team all over again. That starts by defeating teams with winning records. Winning games in your division. Defeating playoff caliber teams. They were decimated by injuries last year. Injuries still hurt them now as we don't know if Stanley, Peters or JK will play. Mekari is at LT. This will make for a close game. I believe they have enough roster win. I see this as a day for the D to get the win by shutting down the Dolphins. Jamison Hensley • TweetShift BOT — Yesterday at 4:45 PM Ravens injury report DID NOT PRACTICE FB Patrick Ricard (calf) DE Calais Campbell (rest) OLB Justin Houston (rest) LIMITED CB Marcus Peters (knee) OT Ronnie Stanley (ankle) CB Brandon Stephens (quad) DT Travis Jones (knee) WR James Proche (groin) FULL RB J.K. Dobbins (knee) Jeff Zrebiec • TweetShift BOT — Today at 12:44 PM "We don't want it to happen again." Ten months ago, the Ravens went down to South Florida and their offense looked confused and overwhelmed against the aggressive Dolphins. They insist they'll have a better plan. Sunday will be their closeup.

Jamison Hensley • — Today at 3:43 PM John Harbaugh said it would’ve been “negligent” if the team didn’t work offseason on the Dolphins’ blitzes and Cover zero scheme. Harbaugh said he has a lot of respect for what the Dolphins do on defense. Jeff Zrebiec • — Today at 3:54 PM Jackson said the Ravens were caught off guard by the Dolphins last year and how much they showed Cover 0. Said he expects Ravens to have an answer this time. Jeff Zrebiec • — Today at 3:57 PM Jackson says team has to speed up process in getting to the line. Said that will be fixed. Did say Ravens have long play calls. [3:58 PM] Jackson on Dobbins: “he looks pretty good to me.” "Lamar, are you worried about the Dolphins defense?"

It was sloppy everywhere. I think only giving up 83 yards is OK. It's the 4.9 ypc that's not ok. They had 22- and 14-yard runs. The D played very well all things considered (starters not playing in preseason). Who adjusts the fastest wins in week 2. We'll see. Hey....there was absolutely no run game from the Ravens. That is very concerning.

I don't want to throw shade on this one, yet the Jets really didn't blitz last week, and you know the Dolphins are going to bring it. I'm so glad we have this at home and the 12th man to put up a wall of purple pain. we have to bring it Sunday.... Honoring Goose and Ferguson Sunday. Here we go! Cover 0! Lamar saw it 19 times in the Dolphins game last year. QB's average seeing it 16 times a season. We know what happened. It's Ravens/Dolphins week. ESPN matchup indicator has the Ravens at 74% win probability. I don't see that. Vegas doesn't either. Ravens -3.5. The Dolphins are a solid team. They finished 9-8 last year. They were 22nd in points scored and 16th in points surrendered. Team Stats Dolphins Ravens Points Per Game 20.0 24.0 Points Allowed Per Game 7.0 9.0 Total Yards 335.0 276.0 Yards Passing 270.0 213.0 Yards Rushing 65.0 63.0 Yards Allowed 291.0 390.0 Pass Yards Allowed 213.0 307.0 Rush Yards Allowed 78.0 83.0 Some advance scouting.: Tua had a very good day. 23 of 33 for 270 yards at 8.2ypp. 104.4 rating. Hill had 8 catches on 12 targets for 94 yards and a 11.8 ypp. They couldn't run. 23 carries for 65yards and a 2.8 ypc. The Ravens were microscopically better at 21 carries for 63m yards and 3.0ypc. Miami had 2 sacks and 3 QB hits. 7 of their 20 points was from the defense. So....neither team will run the ball Sunday. Unless Dobbins miraculously appears 100%. Very promising news... [2:51 PM] Jeff Zrebiec • — Today at 2:23 PM Thought J.K. Dobbins looked really good in early portion of practice. Was moving around and cutting well. Marcus Peters and Ronnie Stanley were taking part in the practice, too. [2:52 PM] Also Travis Jones was practicing. Finally, after all the Injuries that the Ravens have had, I'm not feeling bad about this latest piece of news Adam Beasley @AdamHBeasley Dolphins have real concerns at tackle. Terron Armstead (lower body) and Austin Jackson (ankle) both not at Dolphins practice Wednesday. Greg Little is participating. OK...here's how see it. The Ravens held Hill to 1 catch for 15 yards last year...with Mahomes at QB. The Phins have no running game. The Ravens can stop anybody from running. Tua will have to throw. But wait! His LT and RT are hobbled at best, out at worst. Looks like a nice sack day. As long as Lamar doesn't try to force anything and takes what they give him, then the Ravens should win. Time to feast on Dolphin...

@AlbertBreer Ravens QB Lamar Jackson will make $23.016 million on his fifth-year option. After the season, the Ravens could ... • Put the non-exclusive tag on him (that # would $29.7M right now). • Put the exclusive tag on him (that # would be $45.5M right now). [5:05 PM] The difference b/w the tags, of course, is the non-exclusive tag allows him to negotiate with other teams and sign an offer sheet with one (which gives the Ravens the chance to match or bring back two first-round picks). "Those things will work themselves out in the end. I'm confident in that," Harbaugh said. "I said at the beginning that it will happen when it's time, and when it's time it will happen. Lamar is playing quarterback, he's going to be playing quarterback here for a long time. He and I talked about it yesterday a little bit, like, 'Hey man, let's go be our best, and go focus on football.' That's what he's been doing all along, so I know nothing will change with that." It's a new team and a new season. Lot of 1st time Ravens players to watch and hopefully enjoy. Moses, James, Linderbaum, Hamilton, Fuller, Robinson, Likely, Davis, Drake, Stout, Williams.... Others we may see are Faalele, Ross, Welch, ...and....and...new DC Macdonald. What kind of game will he call? (edited) [7:46 AM] Print out your roster card now. Now....if this happens then the Ravens and Lamar....and us ... will be very happy. Here's the Saturday morning Purple Kool Aid....

Jeff Zrebiec • TweetShift BOT — Today at 2:09 PM Ravens have everybody but DT Travis Jones (knee) practicing. Another practice note is Kyle Fuller has changed his number to 23. Jeff Zrebiec • TweetShift BOT — Today at 2:28 PM Ravens OLB Tyus Bowser, who is on the PUP list and not eligible to play until Week 5, was working out on the field. First time he's been out there in front of media and he was moving around well. Ravens hopeful that he'll be ready to go as soon as he's eligible to play.

The Jets had the worst defense in the NFL last year in total yards and points surrendered. They obviously are rebuilding it with guys like Sauce yet....they were terrible...last..... Stinking bad. 28th scoring offense. Ravens Depth Chart | Baltimore Ravens – baltimoreravens.com

One More.....From Houston.... ""I'm a big believer in 'The power of the tongue speaks life and death [Proverbs 18:21],' so we're going to get that ring this year. I'm tired of hoping and wishing. We're going to get it. I'm going to speak it into existence. That means everything. That's why we're here; that's why you work together as one team, as one goal. The common goal is to get that ring. That's why I'm here still playing, still chasing that ring. I haven't had that opportunity. I came close, but I think this year, by far, this will be my best year and our best year as a team to get that ring."

I don't sleep on any games. No matter how much I think the Ravens will win, I get nervous by kickoff. Depth Chart....squint to read''''' When you have a team like this that has gone into multiple seasons with big expectations on being there at the end of the year, do you ever get the sense that the team has an impatience getting to those big picture goals? _(Childs Walker) _"It's a great question. The answer is not really, because you just can't afford to. Mark [Andrews] said it coming off the field here, 'Every game in the National Football League is a massive challenge.' Every game, all teams bring everything they've got, and they're all very talented teams. You have to be your best – and it's not just being your best in terms of being fired up, or being emotionally ready or being tough – you have to be at your best execution-wise. You have to be on point, you have to be sharp in order to win the game. You have to play winning football, and that's a challenge every single week. So, I think the guys understand the magnitude of the challenge every single week. The openers are always different. The opener is the opener, and you never really know where you're at until you play the first real game. You get a sense in the preseason a little bit, but until you line up against somebody for real, you don't really know where you're at. Then, you kind of go from there, and all of a sudden, things are going fast. So, they'll be doing things that we haven't practiced for that they've been practicing. We'll be doing things for sure that they haven't seen that we've been practicing. That's just the way openers are. Really, the first few weeks of the season are like that, then everybody kind of settles down into what they are. So, we have our work cut out for us – so do they. It's an opener."

7 point favorites. They don't want to sacrifice Wilson to the Ravens defense and ruin his mind. "Hmmmmm,,,,His Mom looks sweet!" Looks like January Joe Flacco will start. The problem for the Jets is that he doesn't have Boldin, Smith or Jones. Last years Ravens XFL roster could win this game even thought the Jets have improved.
