tsylvester Posted July 24 Author Share Posted July 24 More updates https://www.baltimorebeatdown.com/2024/7/23/24204650/ravens-2024-training-camp-day-3-reigning-in-oweh-maulet-hat-tricks-picks-faalele-momentum The heat, humidity and competition ramped up today at the Baltimore Ravens’ Under Armour Performance Center as Day 3 of training camp extended from their 90-minute practices to two hours. A number of plays were made, including more flashes from wide receiver Rashod Bateman, outside linebacker Odafe Oweh, cornerback Arthur Maulet and more. The Ravens’ fourth-year outside linebacker has been featured in each addition of my observations. He makes an appearance today, too, as he spent time in the backfield pressuring quarterbacks yet again. Head Coach John Harbaugh shared he had to tell Oweh to slow it down a bit. “I had to pull the reins in on him a little bit,” Harbaugh said. “And he understands, stay away from the quarterback as much as possible. We don’t want to have any car crashes out there. But he’s doing a great job. He’s bringing it. He’s pretty much been in the backfield every play so we appreciate it.” Along with Oweh, Maulet’s been featured in each observations this training camp, for good reason. Today was his third-straight training camp practice with an interception, this time during 7-on-7 drills where he out-leapt wide receiver Nelson Agholor downfield along the boundary and high-pointed the Josh Johnson throw. A few plays later, Maulet nearly snared an off-target throw between the hashes that careened off his hands. Maulet then went off to the side and repped out pushups for his mistake. In the final session of 11-on-11 drills, Maulet nearly came down with a ball off a deflection between another cornerback and receiver, but it fell incomplete. Maulet’s making a significant case to be the Ravens’ full-time nickel and have safety Kyle Hamilton move to the dime position. Now, to keep it up once Jackson returns from illness and solidify himself as the Ravens’ primary player in the slot. The first practice for offensive lineman Faalele left much to be desired. He appeared fatigued and was pulled from 11-on-11 drills and knelt next to a trainer in the back-half of Day 1’s practice and didn’t appear to re-enter practice. Today, he remained in the practice for the full two hours and made solid blocks during 11-on-11. At one point he flushed through to the second level and got his frame to block out linebacker Trenton Simpson, springing running back Owen Wright for a first down between the tackles. Faalele will need to string together more of these types of practices when the pads come on and in the dog days of camp and preseason to prove his endurance can be relied upon come the regular season. Harbaugh talked about Faalele’s performance and his play at right guard in training camp. “We’re going to give it a shot and see how [Faalele at right guard] looks,” Harbaugh said. “Daniel’s got very good feet for his size. He’s a big man but he can move his feet. He can also bend and create leverage. And when you’ve got that kind of size and you’re coming off the ball in some of those combination blocks, we feel like he’s got a chance with Tyler [Linderbaum] to move people. He keeps working on using his hands—things happen quicker, you’ve got to get your hands up quicker, get your hands on people a little quicker, he’s working on that part of it, too. So, we’ll see how he adapts.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsylvester Posted July 24 Author Share Posted July 24 Rookie wide receiver Devontez Walker hauled in a deep reception against defensive back Daryl Worley from quarterback Emory Jones. Wide receiver Rashod Bateman made the first big play of the day, catching a 25-yard reception near the sideline against cornerback Marlon Humphrey and safety Ar’Darius Washington. The reception was initially bobbled but Bateman regained control and kept his feet inbounds, with the official signaling the catch was made, much to the chagrin of defenders in the vicinity. Bateman had another reaching grab on a crosser just behind Roquan Smith’s zone from Johnson. The offense began 11-on-11 drills with nine straight completions between Josh Johnson, Jones and Devin Leary. Arguably the best offensive play of the day came from Leary, who on 3rd & 15 in the red zone lofted a great ball to wide receiver Keith Kirkwood. Kirkwood made a minor adjustment to get back toward the ball and catch the ball around cornerback Trayvon Mullen’s coverage and fall inbounds. Outside linebacker David Ojabo overwhelmed offensive lineman Patrick Mekari at the line of scrimmage, clogging the running lane for Wright and getting a tackle at the line of scrimmage. A full-steam ahead Derrick Henry ran behind fullback Patrick Ricard, who got into space and opened a lane for what may be the scariest thing running at a defense in the NFL this season. Leary connected with Deonte Harty on the far field for a 20-yard completion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsylvester Posted July 27 Author Share Posted July 27 As I was saying https://abcnews.go.com/wellness/story/teflon-flu-amid-rise-cases-us/?id=112306317 A recent record number of cases of polymer fume fever, also known as "Teflon flu," are putting a spotlight on one of the most common causes of the condition, the use of nonstick pans. Over 265 suspected cases of polymer fume fever were reported in 2023, the highest number of cases since the year 2000, according to America's Poison Centers, which represents the nation's 55 poison centers in partnership with the United States government. The condition is caused by overheating pans coated with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), which releases fumes into the air. Breathing in those fumes can cause flu-like symptoms. Symptoms of polymer fume fever include chest tightness, coughing, difficulty breathing and headaches. The symptoms tend to go away within two to three days but the long-term effects of the condition remain unknown, according ABC News medical contributor Dr. Darien Sutton, an emergency medicine physician. "We don't yet know the long-term effects, but we do know that these chemicals, these PFAS, are associated with health conditions like thyroid abnormalities, certain cancers, like kidney cancer, as well as certain problems with infertility," Sutton said Friday on "Good Morning America." "So it's important to be safe with these products." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsylvester Posted July 28 Author Share Posted July 28 A little from yesterday The Ravens first-team offense and defense lined up as the scoreboard changed to the fourth quarter and 1:20 remaining in the game. The offense down by five and only one timeout. On first down, Jackson hit Andrews for a six yard gain. Next play was a completion to wide receiver Rashod Bateman for a first down. Then, Jackson floated one over the middle to an open Andrews who gained separation against cornerback Arthur Maulet for field-flipping completion where Andrews was downed at the 14-yard line. The lone completion of the drive was Jackson testing a one-on-one with Bateman to the end zone but the pass was too far; I felt Jackson threw it intentionally a bit far to not put the ball in harm’s way and give Bateman a tough but possible chance, but it was a bit further than he could reel in. After a short completion to tight end Isaiah Likely, the Ravens faced 3rd & 2. This time, Madubuike didn’t get to Jackson as he rifled the ball into traffic and into the hands of wide receiver Nelson Agholor https://www.baltimorebeatdown.com/2024/7/27/24207712/ravens-2024-training-camp-day-6-observations-lamar-jackson-leads-td-drive-in-4th-quarter-drill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsylvester Posted August 2 Author Share Posted August 2 https://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/lamar-jackson-baltimore-ravens-news-practice-report-training-camp-2024 After four straight days of padded practices and with a 99-degree heat index in Owings Mills, the Ravens turned down the tempo of practice but turned up the heat from the defense. The Ravens practiced third-down situations and against blitzes for much of Wednesday. Despite that, Lamar Jackson thrived, having perhaps his best day of training camp QB Lamar Jackson Shawn Hubbard/Baltimore Ravens Photos QB Lamar Jackson After four straight days of padded practices and with a 99-degree heat index in Owings Mills, the Ravens turned down the tempo of practice but turned up the heat from the defense. The Ravens practiced third-down situations and against blitzes for much of Wednesday. Despite that, Lamar Jackson thrived, having perhaps his best day of training camp yet. You are unable to interact with this content due to your Cookie Consent choices, you can enable cookies in the footer by selecting Cookie Settings. Ravens practice just wrapped. A lot of half-speed team drills, which kept things bland throughout. But Lamar Jackson was locked in. In competitive 7-on-7 work, he went 7-for-8 unofficially. In competitive 11-on-11 work, he went 7-for-7. A lot of Big Boy Throws, too. — Jonas Shaffer (@jonas_shaffer) July 31, 2024 The most impressive play was when the defense showed a pre-snap blitz with Roquan Smith coming up to the line of scrimmage. Jackson made an adjustment, either changing protection or the play entirely. Jackson seemed to know there was a free safety blitzer coming, and delivered a deep strike to Zay Flowers, who was one-on-one against Kyle Hamilton. The Ravens have talked a lot this summer about Jackson taking even more command of pre-snap checks, and it was a perfect example of him getting Baltimore's offense into the right play to take advantage of the defense.
