for anyone interested in some schematic changes to our offence he's a nice thread from michael crawford @abukari on twitter who's just started writing for RSR but has been posting cool ravens stuff for a while - it specifically features the michael andrews reception where he got drilled

I dont notice a lot of this stuff in live action so I didn’t think much of this, but after seeing the breakdown one thing is obvious... mark Andrews is just a fucking salesman in nature. His whole college career was built off of a similar concept shown in this play, you sell one thing, and do another. He’s Jordan Belfort out there. Jet motion, sell the stretch zone where he’s the final blocker which makes the LB set the edge, and once he commits outside he’s right up the field. Beautifully executed, I love that you see so many instances of him drawing players in and then making them pay all throughout college, just crafty as fuck, and he’s doing the same exact thing as a rookie.

nice. Interesting that the staff met with several college coaches in the offseason.

tbf we dont know when in the offseason - it could have been a concerted effort to increase the college concepts in our offence after drafting lamar or specifically making an effort to diversify our scheme or it may literally just have been that coaches tagged along with scouts to prodays etc and just used that time to meet with college guys to talk about that stuff

anything is possible and we are purely speculating, but I'm betting it is a combination of everything you said.

honestly might have to cut our losses at this point. He's talented but can never stay healthy.

We need to draft a RB early next year
It’s just so aggravating. He’s too damn good to always get hurt. Start eating healthier or something damn.

And the fact that he’s so eager to prove himself shows real confidence, I like it.

As far as the muff goes, the weather was probably a factor and I don’t expect that to happen often. He’s very confident fielding the ball.
Yea every time he goes to return I shake a bit just because I’m scared he’s going to not go down. I don’t blame him for that muff and he’s way better than fair catch Camp

Kenny was very impressive,let's see what he can do against the Bengals.

I was more impress with Turner than Dixon during preseason. Turner sort of reminds me of Rice.
Preseason means little to nothing.

Dixon had the 2nd most yards after contact in 2016 and he didn’t play a full yr.

Nope everyone did this EXACT thing last year. Stop. Everyone was calling ZDS amazing at this time last year.

He’s not a bad player really but he just totally lacks the ability to finish most of the time.

I REFUSE to hype him up like everyone was last year.
Lol AMEN!!

I feel like i might as well just quote the whole article from Ken Mckusick but this is what he wrote on ZDS:

"Za’Darius Smith (34 snaps) had a pass rush game that included a number of near misses. In racing form:

(Q3, 4:12) Tackled Allen after RPO fake, but scored as RR-2 (near sack)

I have just found this: https://twitter.com/Cover_1_/status/1039171825459183616
I don't hype him up but give credit where credit is due
