2-3 weeks from now I could see it. I don't think they'll go from activating him to starting him at RT against Pittsburgh, with no practice reps. That seems to be a stretch.

he might get some practice - sounds like the building's open from Harb's presser today... maybe im misunderstanding but he seemed to suggest the facility was closed this morning but was allowed to open up this evening once they did all the contact tracing and found only 1 close contact

it's possible that the practice reps are important to the coaching staff and to him but it's not like he hasnt played in 8 weeks like the old I/R he's only been off 3 weeks

and tbh even without any practice reps is he gonna be any worse than the Fluker/Holden combination - it's a bad sign when you're rotating guys reps at midseason on the OL

Tyre Phillips has been designated to return - with how well Ben Powers played I wonder if we put Phillips out at RT just to get the best 5 OL on the field??? there's no way he's not better than Will Holden and DJ Fluker lol

just an idea
Totally agree and I had that thought too. Let him show his stuff while he has this opportunity, this could solve the Zeus contract dilemma in a few years, or maybe even make Zeus a very intriguing tag and trade candidate

Am I crazy or does it feel like the nfl should maybe look into the Titans? They had multiple spikes in multiple weeks and have been busted not following protocol, and aren’t we the second team to have a spike after playing them?

it’s fucking weird how this shit keeps following the Titans in one way or another

NE DNA! That line don't admit to anything. It just sounds like sour grapes coming from us, tho...

The other thing to consider is just because he's designated to return doesn't mean he'll even be activated to play this week. Its certainly not uncommon for players who are on IR to need a week or two of practice, once activated, to return.

yeah I saw that on the practice report yesterday that he was listed still separate from the 53 and realised he’d been designated to return not added to the 53 yet

well this is a problem


I think the bigger problem is the winless jets have 52 more passing yards on the season than the Ravens. This system and Qb are not built to win in today’s NFL. COVID may spare us another sub 200 yard passing game and loss to our rivals.

Well, couple things here:

1. Your stats aren't correct. We have 134 more passing yards than the Jets. We have 52 less passing yards than the Browns, who have the 3rd lowest passing totals in the league, despite being 7-3 (see point #2 below).
2. I mean that's great, but passing yards has absolutely no correlation to winning football games either. I would borderline expect the Jets to have more passing yards than the Ravens, because when you're down double digits in the second half of nearly every game you play, why would you ever run the ball?

I'm also not sure why its somehow a problem in 2020 but wasn't a problem in 2019, when we won 14 games. We were 27th in the league in passing yards last year.

Actually both of our stats aren’t correct after fact checking Jets :1909 Ravens:1972 according to NFL.com.

Last year was a one hit wonder . Defenses have adjusted to the college style of play. It’s now on the Ravens to adjust , something that won’t happen with Roman calling the shots. Just like Kap and Taylor, Roman has some great years which quickly flamed out.
