Next Up: vs Browns

[Dom McRaven]

Per Zrebiec,

"Gus Edwards, Tyus Bowser, David Ojabo and Charlie Kolar were also all practicing. Edwards probably closest to return. Bowser next."

And here's the injury report.

"Ravens injury report

-LIMITED: Lamar Jackson (hip); Bateman (foot); Houston (groin); Stanley (ankl

Nice to see Hill coming back with Dobbins going down

 

[allblackraven]

So was Mark given a rest day because he really needed it or because of injury?

 

[rmcjacket23]

I hope at least Moses is actually healthy. We can survive a game without JK.

Not super concerned with either. Mekari is a more than competent RT, and Faalele can handle the swing.
Would like both, but they're not the one's I lose sleep over.

 

[JoeyFlex5]

Maybe he hasn't been fully healthy? Maybe DRobs leash is up?

Drob had a disaster of a game

 

[ravenslord]

Ill say it right now. This is a must win at home if we want to make the playoffs. . MUST WIN!

 

[Sandtown]

Drob had a disaster of a game

Yeah I think he might get cut. I don't think he's been totally bad though and he does has good upside but he hasn't been the deep threat I think The Ravens figured he could be or maybe just given him less than 45 snaps on offense will help him be more effective

Yeah, I have been thinking DSJ is a direct replacement for him

Browns fans are very down on their defense, they’re expecting Lamar to torch them. They also expect us to put 9 in the box and they’re not too thrilled with how Brisset has been throwing the ball, they do think they can exploit Queen a little with their TE but they don’t think it will matter as they expect to fall too far behind. Found that interesting

 

[OURavensFan]

I highly overestimated how good Dobbins would be this year. He was great in the Bengals game tho, I’m so mad the NY field hurt him

I've been hearing the same. I don't know if Garrett and/or Clowney are playing. One thing's for certain: both Chubb and Njoku are gonna get theirs. Almost always the case against us.

Their defense has been pretty eh this year. Pass rush should be fine but the middle of that DL is putrid against the run. LB group has been down since Walker went down, and not sure Deion Jones can fix it either. The biggest issue has been one of their better players back there - Denzel Ward. He has looked completely off this year in what I've seen.

 

[Simba]

Andrews, Dobbins, Peters, and Ricard all missing practice today, but everyone else returned.

Has to be somewhat concerning for Andrews, Peters, and Ricard, but if they're on the field tomorrow, they should be good to go. Feel like Dobbins was going to be out regardless after that shot of him limping into a hole during the game.

Lmao if we thought this offense without Bateman was bad, wait until we see it without mark. Poor Lamar

 

[JAAM]

It must be nice to be like “oh, AJ Brown is out? Well at least we still have DeVonta Smith.” Or, “Waddle is out? Well, we still have Hill.”

In Lamar’s case, it’s “Bateman/Mark are out? Here’s a 35 year old antisemite picked up off his couch. Have fun”

Lamar should probably first focus on making the right read on a read-option, and not throwing the ball in the dirt to a wide open RB in the flat, before he worries about who is or isn't going to be out there on Sunday (which I'd bet Bateman and Andrews both are).

And when he's done mastering those things, he can then focus on not throwing hail mary's to Ricard in the middle of the field on a busted play, or not fumbling with the game on the line.

Plenty of the "poor X player" thing going around that doesn't exclude Lamar from criticism, either...

Could some of that be attributed to the piss poor surrounding cast he has to play with, which in turn often translates into "hero ball"?

I don't get why everything is a battle on these boards right now. It's not solely that Lamar has a poor supporting group with league worst separation stats, but it's also not Lamar just forgot how to be a good QB.

Lamar has played like trash, he's in a slump. The players around him, certainly not doing their best to help him with their extreme amount of completely avoidable penalties, bad snaps, easy drops, and no separation.

Like it's not that hard, multiple problems are occurring simultaneously and shocker, they feed back on each other and are related.

yah i dont get it either

like lamar was bad this week

doesnt mean that missing bateman and now maybe andrews and dobbins too isnt a big deal...

as much as id love lamar to be perfect each week (and some weeks he has been), he shouldnt have to be perfect for this offence to function and put up points
