oldno82 Posted July 28 Posted July 28 At last, it's time for camp with veterans reporting Tuesday. I believe I saw a blurb on TV saying WBAL TV was going to show the practice live but I have not been able to confirm that as of yet. Quote
tsylvester Posted July 28 Posted July 28 I'm not sure that is allowed, but I could be wrong. In any event, hope for a healthy camp Quote
oldno82 Posted July 28 Author Posted July 28 Hmmm...I can't find any source to confirm what I saw pass by as a commercial so you may be right. And, yes, here's to no major injuries! Quote
tsylvester Posted July 28 Posted July 28 Maybe it was that WBal will be broadcasting from there..... Quote
oldno82 Posted July 28 Author Posted July 28 I dunno...I searched for it on ChatGPT and it said there are no plans 'at present' to show the whole practice live. My Verizon tv guide also doesn't show it. I'd say I was hallucinating when I thought I saw it but my wife saw it too. In any case I'm sure they'll show some highlights from it sometime. I'm really hungry to see the new and veteran players and especially the new coaching regime in action. Guess I'll have to wait for the first pre-season game August 15 against the Iggles. Quote
oldno82 Posted July 28 Author Posted July 28 OK here's the deal: I called wbal-tv and they are not showing it but did say that ESPN and the NFL Network are broadcasting 'look-ins' during the 11am to 1pm practice. I imagine that's about all we'll see live. 1 Quote
tsylvester Posted July 28 Posted July 28 Yeah, I'm watching the 3rd season of Quarterback on the netflix, Mayfield, Flacco, Ward and Daniels Quote
tsylvester Posted July 29 Posted July 29 Per NBC The stay was a short one as the Ravens announced that Madubuike has been activated on Wednesday. That clears him to start practicing with the team and clears a path for him to return to his spot on the defensive line in Baltimore. Quote
oldno82 Posted July 29 Author Posted July 29 Gee, after all that has transpired on this subject, this is certainly surprising but welcome news. Now they just have to get him into football shape by week 1. If he is even close to what he was before getting injured, this will further help the defense in its attempt to 'scare other teams'. Quote
tsylvester Posted July 30 Posted July 30 https://ravenswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/ravens/2026/07/30/ravens-ronnie-stanley-dwayne-ledford-offensive-line-coach/91080721007/ One thing became painfully obvious in 2025, and it was noticeable relatively early. The Baltimore Ravens' offensive line was a weak link in a strong chain. Had there been better options at midseason, Baltimore would have explored them, but alas, a retool would have to wait until the offseason rolled around this past March. The biggest news involved a subtraction. Tyler Linderbaum joined the Las Vegas Raiders. There were additions: John Simpson, Danny Pinter, Jovaughn Gwyn, Hakeem Adeniji. Vega Ioane and Evan Beernsten were drafted. Diego Pounds and Nick Dawkins were undrafted rookies who were added to the linebacker room after the selection meeting as undrafted rookie free agents. The retool has been discussed often. Their leader... Sure, we know who he is, but we frankly haven't mentioned him enough. Ravens camp will remedy that. As a matter of fact, it seems it already has. Dwayne Ledford wins over Ronnie Stanley. Dwayne Ledford joined Baltimore as the offensive line coach and run game coordinator in January as part of Jesse Minter's new staff. His coaching resume spans two decades. One of his best players, Ronnie Stanley, was asked about him. The praise was glowing as Stanley wasn't stingy in his admiration. Ledford wants his teams to "play fast". He probably won't have any issues here. Not only that. Protecting Lamar Jackson is job number one. There's another statement that probably won't surprise anyone. Stanley's endorsement carries weight because it touched on more than just scheme or technique. Great offensive line coaches establish an identity. They know what is needed to connect with players, and that appears to be exactly what Ledford is doing. Creating running lanes for Derrick Henry isn't a revolutionary idea, but consistent execution is what separates good offensive lines from championship-caliber ones. Baltimore invested heavily in rebuilding its front five this offseason. Now, it's Ledford's job to mold those new pieces into a cohesive unit. If Stanley's early impressions are any indication, the Ravens believe they've found the right coach to lead that transformation. Baltimore's new O-line coach may wind up being one of the offseason's most important additions. Quote
oldno82 Posted July 30 Author Posted July 30 I know Ledford is quite respected throughout the league. We're lucky to have him. And from what i've heard so far, the offensive line has bought into his approach. If any coach can turn around the line, it's him. Quote
tsylvester Posted July 31 Posted July 31 Disk left-F leap-3 jet,T pile- winter on one. Yeah, nice play call, it still says go the fire hydrant and break out if he plays you inside, break in if he plays outside. Everyone else go deep. Quote

Okay, this is what WBAL was saying for today, see it live today, from 11 am to 1 pm On local wbal tv, not, I'm guessing, on cable wbal. Quote
oldno82 Posted August 1 Author Posted August 1 Good stuff...thanks for the posts! So WBAL finally got what they were doing straightened out, huh? Not a banner display of efficiency from them in the week leading up to the practice. By the way, Lamar looks really engaged in the whole program this year. If he can get decent protection, he might just have a banner contract year. Quote
tsylvester Posted August 1 Posted August 1 I looked for it on both bal channels, but saw nothing, so not sure what they were advertising Quote
oldno82 Posted August 1 Author Posted August 1 I've found out, too late, that what they were advertising was streaming via an app on smartphones called 'Verylocal', which I've never heard of. There's apparently some tie-in between that app and wbal. By the way, Monday will be the first padded practice of camp. Time for the new players to step up and show what they can do. So far they've done well but it's only been wearing shells. Reports in the media indicate Rosengarten is off to a slow start. Can't wait for the first preseason game against the Eagles in two weeks to see the youngsters in action. Quote
tsylvester Posted August 1 Posted August 1 Ah, another ap, I don't use them, too old I guess. So many injuries on other teams already, Panthers lost 2 of their players, hope that injury bug stays far away..mm Quote
tsylvester Posted August 2 Posted August 2 Here is a live stream from Saturday's practice, and hour or so long https://www.youtube.com/live/9JMerj-oIFE?is=qBAahJWbKF7UVW3W Quote
