Smith is back...just in time,

OMG! I would hate being the Baltimore Browns! I don't think I could have supported a team with a name that belongs to others. We'd be cursed for life.

They also have an Ace in the Hole for RB in Tyree Phillips....

That was a Ravens win. Yea...both relocated franchises.... except the Raiders got to keep their colors and name.

More signings and roster moves... Interesting. cannon went right onto the 53, Bell on PS. They also signed DT Khalil McKenzie

Not exactly a huge vote of confidence and a little short on love. Jamison Hensley on Twitter “Ravens center Bradley Bozeman on the addition of running back Le’Veon Bell to the practice squad: “We’re going to block for whoever is back there.””

I'm definitely feeling Over. Ravens are always the best prepared team opening day.

We will find out quickly if he's playing for the love of the game or love for payroll stick ups. I don't see how he fits the Ravens running scheme. On the same running play Gus will be 7 yards down the field while Bell has just reached the hole..then....tip toes around...hesitates....OH! Too late! Eric's asking way too much for me to be a believer. This feels like a panic move,,,but they have an out, They can cut him anytime.

Jeff Zrebiec on Twitter “Can confirm Le’Veon Bell being added to Ravens practice squad as @AdamSchefter first reported. He would give Ravens one too many vets on PS. one option would be to promote one of vets to active roster (Levine?, Ellis?) in place of injured Hill and then make Bell game day call up”

The Ravens should kick those tires. Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) Saints are releasing RB Latavius Murray, per source. They asked for a pay reduction yesterday and he refused. Murray is coming off his best season, averaging 4.5 yards per carry and 7.7 yards per catch. Twitter•Today at 5:14 PM They tried out Cannon. IG: JosinaAnderson (@JosinaAnderson) I'm told the #Ravens are currently considering adding free agent RB Trenton Cannon, per league source. Cannon is being regarded as a young back, with speed and high special teams value. My understanding is the club will continue to survey the running back market as well. Twitter•Today at 3:28 PM

Point spread is still -4.5. Over or Under?

Yea, they face a lot of good offenses. I'll sell too.

Buy or sell: Bold prediction: Ravens will finish No. 1 in defense. There's plenty of buzz about how good the defenses in Pittsburgh and Cleveland will be this season, but the Ravens look primed to have the best defense in the NFL. In three seasons with Don "Wink" Martindale as defensive coordinator, Baltimore has allowed the fewest yards (307.8) and points (18.2) in the league. The biggest question mark surrounding this defense had been the pass rush. But the Ravens signed Justin Houston (97.5 career sacks) and used a first-round pick on Odafe Oweh, who could be the fastest edge rusher in franchise history. This defense has the potential to be scary. Hensley ESPN

Just in,,,,,, Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) Sources: The #Ravens and Pro Bowl TE Mark Andrews have agreed to terms on a substantial extension, with Andrews getting a 4-year deal worth $56M. The $14M APY means he’ll make more money through 4 years than any other TE in the league. Jamison Hensley Jamison Hensley on Twitter “Mark Andrews is now the NFL’s third-highest paid tight end at $14M per season. He trails George Kittle ($15M) and Travis Kelce ($14.3M). Next up for Ravens, Lamar Jackson. https://t.co/Tjem07UEOk”

True...true...true Who will have prepared their players the best to win? Harbaugh or Chuckie? You know where my money goes.

Agreed. Get a young runner from 1 of the 587 colleges, Develop him during the season so he can spell the Williams gang and keep them as fresh as possible for the playoffs.

That's where I hope they look. Don't panic and sign guys who are obviously done and worn out.

QB for Covid reasons...they need a 3rd just in case. Baha took to knees to end the game. He looked fabulous doing that. Never seen him throw a pass. Hey...he's a local guy...Calvert Hall or something like that.

I need to take a deep breath. I may be over reacting. Hill was not going to make or break this season. He was insurance and could play ST's. The Ravens basically went with 2 RB's all last year and led the league in rushing.

Being down to 2 RB's is a game changer. Worried tha Lamar will try to do too uch to make the rushing attack work. On the flip side...I'm thinking maybe...just maybe, they throw, throw and throw some more. Perhaps they develop some chemistry and their passing game vs the Raiders. then they turn a negative into a positive.

I doubt it. Not with this O line. Joe needs a lot of time in the pocket to be effective. He had the perfect line and protection for that playoff Super Bowl run. Then he still need some Jacoby luck and Boldins great hands.
