I think it ends up being Bowser, when Henry is healthy.

Yeah - it seemed like the team was selling Maxx as a blocking TE (was that because he wasn't performing as the pass catching TE we thought we drafted?). It seems you rarely see Boyle catch the ball on anything other than that same bootleg play. I think Maxx is better route runner/pass catcher, so if Maxx and Boyle are even close to being on the same level blocking, I expect to see Boyle be inactive rather than Maxx. Especially if they don't necessary want to hand Hurst a full load on his first game back.

I think he may be too. The front has been playing well enough that we will feel like we don't need to rush him back. That may not be the case if he's looking 100% in this weeks practices, but otherwise, I wouldn't doubt we hold him out. I feel like we've done that with Mosley and Hurst, so I expect the same with Henry.
It is great to see us be able to carefully work injured players back into action. Look at Fournette ... the worst thing in the world is to have guys aggravate existing injuries (though hammys are maybe the worst). In their case, I think they say their best runner for 2 weeks - only to set him back to square 1 with his injury.
ricard normally gets about 10-15 offensive snaps a game but often he comes in in the redzone (and is part of the reason we've been so successful)

So, with 2 wins in a row under their belt; I saw that the Ravens are at #10 on the power ranking list but this article has them at #2:
https://ftw.usatoday.com/2018/10/nfl-power-rankings-week-4-rams-patriots-packers-cowboys
Their defense ranks #1 in many categories and the analysts have even said that the most "for real" 3-1 team is the Baltimore Ravens.
Our boys are seemingly getting a lot of love now since dropping the broncos and the steelers back to back. However, with that being said; imo the Ravens have the opportunity to prove that all of the new found praise of them is well deserving by also beating the Browns to stack 3 "W's" in a row!
Let's get after it boys.....

10 - that's pretty much right in the middle of the league

With Jimmy coming back, that number is only going to go up as we get more coverage sacks. I think we can easily end up in the top 10 for sacks at the end of the year.
I think it's quite possible that jimmy doesn't start in name this week, but plays the majority of the snaps on his side of the field. According to the shadow matrix on PFF, Carr has been shadowing the other teams best receiver up until this past game when Humphrey was on Brown the majority of the time.
it's not been about best/worst receiver - it's been about which outside corner is best suited to which receiver
with jimmy back we'll likely be able to go back to LCB and RCB
I think that’s what we will end up doing as well.

I think they'll ease him in. He's still missed plenty of time and I think Carr has done a really good job. It depends on how Jimmy is coming off his injury. If he's as good as he is last year, then no doubt he's starting and going forward that will be the case.

Shout out to the Pack for shutting out the Bills.

Playing after six weeks with a stress fracture is at least three or four weeks ahead of average time to return to play. I don't think the Doctor will allow him to play this week. Besides, why rush him back if Mark and Max are playing well?
what are you talking about - hayden was always supposed to come back after 4 weeks or so - he is exactly on the schedule that was put out there when the surgery happened...
if anything he's slightly behind the initially reported schedule which said he'd miss 3-4 weeks from when the injury happened - it will have been 6 weeks from injury to his first game if he plays this sunday...
i think all 4 TEs are active:
my best guess at the inactives list looks like this:
- RGIII
- Anthony Averett
- Jordan Lasley
- Hronnis Grassu
- Zach Sieler
- Darious Williams
- Willie Henry (if he's not recovered enough) or Tyus Bowser (has been performing poorly on the EDGE and on special teams recently)
