My Yanda jersey is getting worn and thinking of ordering something new. Travis Jones would be an option, but if Likely really is what he has looked like so far, that has to be in play.
Or a jersey with Stout on it has a nice ring to it as well
too bad Jordan Stout's first name isn't Guinness.My Yanda jersey is getting worn and thinking of ordering something new. Travis Jones would be an option, but if Likely really is what he has looked like so far, that has to be in play.

Hamilton - I know he’s supposed to be jumping off the page but he’s been handling damn near all of the defensive reps. He’s been playing deep, dime and strong, blitzing, disguising - everything and without relief. He’s done some things that have been pretty awesome and a few that were pretty meh. Very few positions demand so much knowledge and the fact that he remains in for all the downs just shows that he can handle a lot.

In 2 games, the only negative in coverage is he lost a guy on a scramble drill. That's not bad at all!
In 2 games playing the run, blitzing, and also just tackling receivers the only negatives are missing Malik Willis once, and 3 missed tackles. Is that great? No. Is it the end of the world? No. Is he getting better every day? Hell ya.
absolutely agree

Sounds like a law firm….Stout, Likely and Jones. lol
Love to see it!
Ngl.. at the game yesterday I saw a white guy wearing 11 walking over and I screamed for stout. It ended up being Webb. Akward
It was so fun watching the players interact as we got pretty good seats for the preseason. Calais was interacting with all fans of course. MP looked good and I saw Houston yodaing Odafe non stop. Cambell looks super thin this year. Williams is an absoute stud and was all over. Stanley seemed to be moving well. Mark andrews is always alone. Idk if I missed him but I never saw linderbaum

I screamed for stout yesterday and the bartender said he wouldn't serve me if I shouted.

Did you do the score cards for Fox?

I tend to agree except he out kicked the coverage. If it was in bounds at all, it would have been returnable.

Kyle Hamilton
B+
Hamilton played 85 percent of the Ravens’ defensive snaps in their win over the Cardinals. He was in the box regularly, blitzing a couple of times and knocking away a red-zone throw using his 6-4 frame, 38-inch vertical leap and excellent hand-eye coordination. Hamilton shed a tight end in the run game early on and ran through a receiver block on a quick screen when near the line. He was especially impressive locking down tight ends in man coverage, including Cardinals second-round pick Trey McBride, with smooth movement and physicality.
When aligned deep, Hamilton displayed the range he showed at Notre Dame, covering the width of the field to prevent explosive plays and using long strides to angle back into the deep middle. Hamilton did the dirty work on special teams, too, blocking for punts and playing on kickoff returns and coverage. The rookie got turned around in the open field once in the first half and could not stop a third-down conversion in the open field in the fourth quarter. He also left a receiver open on a third-and-goal late in the first half, though the throw fell incomplete. Nevertheless, Hamilton showed the overall skill set that led the Ravens to select him in the first round.

It's funny. The opinion on Hamilton is much different from the coaches and the front office than it is from fans and many media members. He graded out great last night, according to the coaches. He wore the green dot, organized the defense. He had McBride, the Cardinals 2nd round rookie who was regarded as the best TE in the draft, in man to man on a handful of plays and McBride had no catches on him. He was quick to come forward in run support. Saved a TD with a pass deflection. He did miss a few tackles, but the safety position is so much more nuanced than fans and reporters can really tell from watching game. This has kind of been the case with Hamilton all summer and I'm as guilty of it as anyone. If he's not getting his hands on the football or making splash plays, I really haven't put too much stock in it. I'm not defending him or disputing what you said, but I am telling you that team officials are very excited about him based on what he's done for much of the summer.
