Clearly Zuttah missed because Zuttah wanted to miss or Harbaugh would have elaborated. Maybe Harbaugh doesn't know why Zuttah didn't show up. People don't show and don't call in to work alot and usually they are quitting, retiring or by not showing up, they get fired. Maybe Zuttah realizes that he just can't do it anymore, media outlets are already calling for Urschel (and I am sure he sees that) and maybe he is just going to hang up the cleats. If he was a no call no show for practice (which makes sense if Harbaugh has no clue why he isn't there), one can only assume that he won't be playing on Sunday.

Some outlets are stating he is nursing a sore shoulder and Jensen would be the next man up

If true that might possibly explain the poor play thus far... no point in rushing him back.

A good man and a class act. He will be missed.

If Zuttah decides not to play Sunday we could hardly be worse off than we have been in the first two games. If Harbs decides to bench him in favor of one of the young guys it's certainly worth a try.

We could have had Ramsey with our first pick and Jack with our second... instead we seem to have wasted our second and third picks. At least Stanley looks like a keeper so the draft won't be a total bust. Our 4th round also looks promising thus far. The gem seems to be Pierce... hard to believe this guy went undrafted.

Watching the OL play... the key to the running game... it looks like a good bit of the problem lies with our center. tough to run when the center gets consistently beaten. Maybe try Urschel?

Kudos to the scout who found this guy... looks like Williams' replacement... too bad we can't afford them both.

I like Urschal to play at center as well. Zuttah is not cutting it. I believe he might not be here next year if he doesn't improve his play. 

The question is can we survive the year without him playing much, much better or being benched?

Urschel would look good starting at center.

Looks like we may need a new center... it's only been two games but it's starting to look that way.

Plan B has worked well (except Watson) but it's no substitute for better draft results.

Got to give the FO credit on this one... they knew what they were doing when they released Smith... a guy who could still play.

Too bad about RGIII. Let's hope the boys have some revenge planned for last year's humiliation at the hands of McCown.

We need a center.

The home game last year against McCown was, without doubt, the low point of the Raven's 20 year history. I think our boys may feel the same way and have plans to do something to erase that debacle.

Nice to see Dennis back... I'm betting by the time we hit the tough part of our schedule he will be a real asset to the offense.

Our "D" looks like a playoff caliber unit. Our "O" has some work to do but should be looking better by the time we get to the tough part of our schedule. Biggest disappointment to me was our new returner who hurt our field position every time he touched the ball. Sure hope he can shake some rust off soon.

That real problem is that several weak drafts have left the team without the usual depth. This year's draft (except for the 2nd and 3rd rounds) looks better. You can't build a team without help from the draft.

Lewis seems to be the better run blocker... Urschel the better pass blocker. I guess it will depend on Trestman's game plan. Lewis seems to have the greater upside... Urschel the better versatility. Either should be solid.

it is a little alarming that our number one running back was able to clear waivers... otherwise the offense seems to be solid.

After the last two drafts we desperately needed some help. We didn't get much with rounds two or three but round four and five are looking good.

Costly move with little upside. Reminds me of the Ben Watson signing.

Cutting Forsett a bit of a surprise but a solid move. The Ravens have younger and cheaper backs who have looked better. Like the article points out there are more moves to come.  Cutting Butler is more of a head scratcher.

Said it on another post Pierce makes it as insurance if Brandon leaves next year, as Pierce being 6 feet tall and 339 pounds is a prototypical NT, and he like Brandon is a space eater....I really hope we can get Brandon to stay because i just love his game, but players want that 1 big payday, and we hardly ever have the kind of money to match teams that have tons of cap space.....

So far it appears the Ravens have made no attempt to extend Williams... can't tell if they have given up but it looks like another KO situation in the minds of the FO.

The real problem is that we have gotten very little out of the 2013 and 2014 drafts. Let's hope the 2015 draft breaks that trend.

If Butler does not make the 53 man roster... one would have to ask what does it take? And secondly who called the shot?
