all suggestions so far from him and others is that he's full go for sunday - and he doesnt expect to be eased in either

I need to see what a healthy Jimmy does to this defense. Brown coming back and hopefully refreshed would be amazing.


I don't think the kid has been able to go full speed all year, and I am including the Dolphins game.

We probably won't get to see him go full speed against the Pats either, but hopefully his ankle has healed enough so that he can make some plays. Our WR production this year has been pitiful and I don't expect that to change against the Pats' secondary.

even having Hollywood, I don't think anyone expected our WR production to be great this year for a few reasons. Boykin is also a rookie playing a position that quite frankly players don't hit the ground running. I expect his production to increase the second half of the season. Our TE's especially Mark Andrews are extremely good and always seem to find an opening. Although I wish Jackson would spread the ball around better, he is also basically a rookie and we all have to understand he has a ways to go and that is exciting because he is still improving.

Now I would like to get another weapon, even after extending Willie Snead. Someone that is a more WR than Chris Moore who does nothing other than special teams well and hopefully that someone will have upside. This draft has a lot of good WR in the class, which will essentially push some into later rounds, that would have normally been taken earlier, do to the depth of the draft. Especially the talent at the top.

well while we can be optimistic im not sure Hollywood will be 100% in this game either - apparently he's still not fully ready to go - likely going to be ready and he's able to practice and he wants to play (which are all good signs)

but he also said he's “progressing day by day.”

and this was reported by jonas shaffer:
Ravens WR Marquise Brown (ankle) had a slight limp today, but some teammates were joking around with him that his explosiveness looked like it was back. Offense will need him Sunday.
 


MARQUISE BROWNWR, BALTIMORE RAVENS

Marquise Brown (ankle) returned to practice Wednesday.
He's fully expected to return this week against the Patriots after missing the previous two games before last week's bye. Brown hasn't done a whole lot since a fast start to the season and won't be someone to use in season-long leagues against New England's NFL-best defense.

''hasn't done a whole lot'' because he's been out for 3.5 games out of 7! DOH

I didn't expect it to be great, but I thought it would be better than it currently is. How many games this year have gone into the 2nd quarter or later and the announcers mention that a WR hasn't caught a ball yet? Part of this is due to, like you said, Lamar needing to spread the ball around better, but our WRs also don't seem to be winning their matchups very often.

I'd love for us to target a Lockett-type in the draft in the middle to late rounds; basically, a guy who's dangerous as a KR/PR who also has some upside as a WR if he can be coached up. That way we can get rid of dead-weight like Chris Moore and still be good on ST.
 
If our O line beats up their D line ( i want ronnie, orlando and marshal to dominate this one big time) we'll win. AND TAKE CARE OF THE FUCKING FOOTBALL.

Not happy about our pass rush. but hopefully we'll be covering at an elite level.

The TE's seem to be his go to guys, Andrews is almost always open. Once Brown comes back and based on what I saw in Seattle running the spread I think the ball will find more people

can't emphasize this enough
 
Didn't realize we haven't allowed points on an opening drive yet. Only 2 teams. Us and the guys we're about to play.

pats have had at least 1 interception in every single game this year so far...
this is the key to the game - pats defence cant score many points without creating turnovers, and on this year's form, the pats offence cant score many points without the defence creating turnovers too
