My foot (big right toe/joint) has been throbbing in pain over this past weekend (Fri-Mon). The swelling has gone down but I still feel a nagging pain in the joint area of the toe. I've been icing it (per SSS exhortation a few seasons ago...lol) and throwing heat on it and soaking it in warm water and Epsom salt. Today? It feels a whole lot better. Having said that; Andrews is an athlete and utilizes his feet for a living (route running etc.) and it takes a minute for these dawwwgs to start feeling right again! Rest him up and let Boyle and Hurst put in the work!

Oh, a few analysts are rolling with the Ravens vs. Steelers:

try kosher salt, I hear it's good for cooking. Oh wait...

this is great news:


MARK ANDREWSTE, BALTIMORE RAVENS

Mark Andrews (foot) returned to Ravens practice Thursday.
This has been Andrews' routine. Andrews is playing through his foot issue, though it does seem to be affecting his play. He was limited to 29-of-69 snaps against the Browns in Week 4. Despite his health woes, Andrews remains an upside TE1 at a meager position.

Bruised ego, season-ending because everyone blames him for everything.
everyone was showing how bad he was using PFF numbers last year. Now with someone with sand in his pants next to him and he is 6th in the NFL among centers. I think that has a lot to do with Lamar and Roman, but still that's a major improvement.

Im not sure why we didn't look for another Center offseason. Skura is not very good .
Skura has been much better this year. He was below average last year due to having Hurst next to him. He is now rated 6th in the league. However I'm sure that has a lot to do with having someone with sand in his pants next to him (Bozeman) and I also believe Lamar Jackson and Roman have something to do with it as well. However using the same PFF numbers that had him in the 20s last year, has him 6th this year. That's an apples to apples comparison, whether you like PFF or not.

He still gets pushed back too much preventing Lamar to step into throws. I'm guessing he is not even close to the top 10 by the time the season ends.

I'm not saying we can't get better at the position. I'm just saying he's been better and a big reason is having someone better next to him. BTW, Bozeman is doing pretty well for a 1st year starter also. He will most likely improve also. Our line isn't has bad as we initially thought, prior to the season.
