I started riding the wave with the win over the bears in the hof game. Might go heavy on both this Saturday and just ravens straight up week 1

If you're talking about Andre Smith, I don't think anybody thinks he has a chance in hell of making this team.
Phillips and Mekari seem to be the guys competing for Swing Tackle. Phillips is also seemingly in the running for the starting LG spot.
I'll point out the same thing I've been saying... its a weakness. However, the Ravens were an 11 win team and won a playoff game with Phillips/Fluker at RT, Ben Powers at RG, and a rotation of guys at Center, none of which were any good. So I'm not seeing how this offensive line is going to suddenly cost us to lose a lot of games as is. It might be the difference between SB contender or not (although I don't think its nearly that dire), but like if this is the biggest weakness we have, we are in GREAT shape compared to the rest of the league.

I mean the Texans may be a decent example, but like again, if they have competent Olineman, I don't know why they'd be giving them up. Even rebuilding teams prefer not to get their QBs killed out there.
I'm also not sure what players on that line I would want or could afford that would improve our team dramatically. There aren't a lot of teams with rock solid Olines that are tanking.

Alt line Ravens week 1 has been a PAYDAY for years. I usually take Ravens at a higher spread for better odds and they've been covering for I can't remember how long.

When y’all start talking about Mandrews and his carted off cramps, PLEASE start asking me questions. I have the same type of diabetes he has and know a bit about major cramps and type 1 diabetes.
I may not be the ultra fit NFL player Andrews ie, but diabetes doesn’t give an F about that

less video of today but looks again like Mekari at LT (when Stanley wasn't in) and Phillips at LG - i really hope that's the lineup they start with on Saturday so that we get to see Phillips against the 1s at LG - i really dont need to see Phillips get beaten by Brian Burns at LT... we learn and gain nothing from that outcome lol

Sounds like Stanley's recovery is coming along well! Cleveland I think has lost his chance to be the week 1 starter. Doesn't mean he won't get there sometime this or next year.
Are we gonna have any wide receivers to play on Saturday? LoL I think we had 4 practice today, Proche, Victor, Mariner, and Moore.
Wallace, Gray, and Dereus too. Lots of reps for the young guys once again, even though we know like 4 of them are pretty much solely camp bodies.

Gotcha! Would love those guys to get back for 1 preseason game to get reaclimated. But I can also see Harbs just saying, nah you come back week 1, we're not risking anything.
it's getting ridiculous the 1s offence was playing with literal scrubs at WR - like devin gray's out there trying to run routes for lamar lol...
missing the top 4 WRs and also boykin...
for hollywood there's absolutely no reason to play preseason, he and lamar already have good chemistry and hollywood doesnt need to risk flaring up a hammy for a couple of reps
watkins and lamar are practicing together and that's probably enough tbh
and he and duvernay were likely just getting days off today - duvernay was out there helping to run the WR drills while in street clothes

Thank God this team cares about preseason, otherwise Tucker would have never been, nor would have some of the other contributors to this team. Whatever
The front 7s we play this year compared to last are much much harder
I usually only bet with us in preseason or if i see some crazy shit like is giving browns 8 points.. i also ONLY do teasers though

Are you a Type 1 as well? Good luck to you bud. I'm a Type II and it's hard as hell because I love food and lack discipline where carbs are concerned. Over the past few years, I have gotten control of it and now doing pretty well with managing it. Good luck to you!

Heard. With Type 1, you can be the healthiest eater out there and still have flare ups. Sucks complete ass. It’s not a by product of not controlling eating sugary foods/etc, it’s literally up to your body and you better have foods around like peanut butter etc or you’re done

Yea i agree across the board. Chances are slim but perhaps we’ll get lucky with the odd scenario of a player not in a teams future plans.
Didn’t we sign Eugene Monroe 5-6 weeks into the season? Although that may not even be a good example because at the time the Jags had Joeckel waiting in the wings. A guy they thought would be a future star …
