Tornado700 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Unlike last year this time, we were losing because of our bench. Not this year, our bench is pretty strong. Nice drafts over the last two years and it shows. Top 5 D this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmax Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 There was a lot of good but this really stood out..... Stats Don’t Show How Much Offense StruggledWith Mike Wallace, Jeremy Maclin and Danny Woodheadplaying for the first time, the Ravens hoped to see more from Ryan Mallettand the starting offense. By the end of the first half, the offense had put up 13 points and 163 yards -- decent numbers. But those numbers disguised the fact that the offense struggled for most of the half. The running game produced little and never found a rhythm. Mallett tossed two interceptions, although, in his defense, the inexperience of a rookie receiver contributed to both. The offensive line, a patchwork group featuring four players who began their careers as undrafted rookies, protected Mallett nicely but struggled to open holes for runners and was flagged for three holding penalties. The offense did move the ball better as the first half unfolded, and it did manage to push the ball into the end zone after a blocked punt gave it the ball at the Miami 4-yard line....http://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/article-1/The-Breakdown-Eisenbergs-Five-Thoughts-vs-Miami-Dolphins/ecf29dc5-8e7c-44c7-b7d2-1ad3b919356d The Max Williams sighting was nice. I forgot what he brings to the game.It's clear to me that Woodrum should be the #1 back up. No turnovers and an 11 ypp. He reads the field, knows how to use the pocket, is poised, and makes plays. 2 weeks in a row. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsylvester Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 The footing was horrible, it was almost like he who found the best footing had a good day.... But Hurst has a great game I thought, at left tackle even. Urban continued to make plays, and the rest of the defensive line. How could we not like what Hill was doing at cb, great find. Williams showed why the front office and a lot of us here were so excited to get him in the draft and what he can do IF he stays healthy. Jensen continues to struggle, blown off the ball, slow to react to pick up another defender... Oy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrubberRaven Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 It's preseason. That said, I think Mallet is what he is...give the rookie a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrubberRaven Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Seriously, can we cut Mallet? What kind of cap hit would that be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrubberRaven Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I guess we'd save a million and be screwed for another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsylvester Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Yep, makes no sense to cut him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldno82 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Give Woodrum a go next week. Let's see what he does with the first team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tornado700 Posted August 18, 2017 Author Share Posted August 18, 2017 I have to agree with Max about the offense. There came a point in the 1st half yesterday where Miami had picked up 5 first downs to our 0. This thing with Flacco is starting to piss me off a little. How can we possibly expect him to come out sharp vs.(at) Cincy when he has had 0 snaps in the exhibition season. And again, we appear to be very good at depth. I agree with all here that Woodrum should start next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravinmaniac52 Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 How many QBs do the Ravens carry this season? Never have been a Mallet but he is just the back up. The field was very bad I really think it took away from the game and what we could have seen from the players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldno82 Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 If Flacco hasn't practiced with two weeks to go, they should carry 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
