Ravens at Browns

[tsylvester]

Yep, it is that time of year, cooler nights, milder days, leaves changing color and the Ravens are getting into their schedule. Up next that pesky Browns team that has actually played some pretty good football so fsr this season.

Records generally matter not when these two teams do the tango, the resentment, disdain, that they have for each reaches deep in their souls. Okay, that is a bit much, sorry, overall the Ravens lead the series 39-15, and hold the longest win streak in the series, 11 wins in a row from 2008-2013. 

But what does any of that mean for this Sunday?

Nothing, and maybe a little something.

Will Lamar play remains the biggest question for most. But perhaps an even bigger one is at rhe center position, will Cam Jergens play, and second to it, how will he play, will the line perform?

Cleveland is 29th in the league in total yards on offense, averaging just 273 yards per game. Deshawn Watson is averaging just 179 yards passing per game , as a team they are averaging 94 yards per game on the ground and 18 pts per game.

On defense,  they are 20th in the league in total yards per game, 335, 216 through the air, 117 on the ground. They have 16 sacks on the young season, with 4 interceptions and 10 touchdowns through the air. Allowing teams to score 22 pts per game.

These two teams know each other, even though both have new coaches, the Ravens are familiar with the Browns head coach, Todd Monken, their former offensive coordinator. 

 

So, who ya got?

Here is some good news

My understanding is Chris Moore will re-sign with the Ravens practice squad, so the plan, at least as of now, is for him to stay in Baltimore. 

He's a vested vet, so he doesn't go through waivers.

The Ravens announce that they've released WR Chris Moore from the 53 and they've also released WR Xavier Guillory from the practice squad. 
They're due to get back rookie WR Ja'Kobi Lane.
