Perriman missing week#2? Does anyone still think we are gonna get any meaningful production out of him before Week5-6? Even if he comes back Week#2 or 3, it will take at least a couple of weeks to get into form and get inserted into the system. So, I don't think anyone should expect him to be a real contributor before mid-October the earliest. That's especially sad for Week#1, where Flacco, who can fling it, and could do it even further with the thinner air, won't have a single genuine deep threat... That won't only make our offensive game much more predictable, it will also inevitably reduce Flacco's efficiency and production.

I'm worried about Perriman missing too much time just like the next guy. However, we can still work it. Marlon Brown isn't a speedster as such, but he can get in the red zone and he can make plays. Campanaro got deep for the catch in pre-season. And we'll still be moving the chains with Steve Smith Sr. Maybe he won't catch the balls as deep, but he'll carry them there on foot.

I'm expecting a lot of fans to write on here about their displeasure at Daniel Brown being cut. We'll see.

You'll be right. Not sure why they cut him. Probably depth at WR and more returner experience elsewhere? Asa is not all bad and has an upside, but at this point, he doesn't deserve a spot on the 53-man roster. However, I wouldn't want to be in his shoes right now - a lot of insecurity and changes in a matter of days.

You have to root for the Pats because the Division is the 1st goal. I hate the Patriots more, but in this particular game we need them to beat Pittsburgh.

It's a tough call. It's in Ravens best interest for Steelers to lose. On the other hand, I don't think I have it in me to root for Pats in anything. Comes down to, never wish either well, but Patriots I despise, Steelers I respect as the rival you always want to beat.

He has this wonderful expression of a naughty child that knows the parents know, but also knows he's getting away with it I love the guy. For how he plays, for how he stands up for his team mates and for how he manages to make each game entertaining and provides us with highlights we like to watch over and over (except for the incident after the dirty tackle on Aiken, because all reruns show the tackle and it makes me cringe every time).

I first heard of him after he tweeted joining Ravens, but I can see why he is a fan favorite and will gladly join the bandwagon.

PS: He can join the "So you think I'm too short?!" team we have going on here with Steve Smith Sr and Justin Forsett and see what they have to say about that. It's not about the size

I think that Steelers will still perform well on offence, even with the suspensions, especially against teams with lackluster defenses, however, it's possible they will be victims to playing catch-up to the points they lose on defense. We will see. I wouldn't underestimate them. As for TEs, not sure what was up with Maxx Williams, but I think getting poked in the eye doesn't count as an "injury-prone" worry. Depends what he was out with the second time. I'd expect that maybe up to November, there will be some frustration, where everyone will keep saying they expected more, pierced with bright flashy moments in between. After then, he'll get the hang of it and he'll be fine. And I trust Crockett Gilmore. One thing I am really curious about is how we will be scoring points in September, as in who will be the most go-to guy, apart from Steve Smith Sr.

I liked Camp as a WR, where he's solid. However, why not add Magee to the depth chart? He's on the 53-man roster now and at this point is more disposable, either now or when Taliaferro returns, therefore why not make use of him? That's only considering guys we have on our 53. If further shuffles coming up, we have some guys on the PS.

Good call, Charles! Welcome to Ravens Nation! PS: I love your socks!

Ah, feels good to be right I think he's a good choice and am looking forward to seeing him show what he can do.

My guess is that Magee didn't do bad at all and could still be of value as a returner as well as back-up RB and as they didn't sign him on the practice squad, they could sign him once they move the injured guys to IR. Or, that's who I would go for of all the cuts recently, both due to returner potential and added depth to where we could use it right now.

Also, is it just me? - When we're losing by a couple points in the last 2 minutes and our offense is unlikely to get back on the field I used to pray "We have great special teams, it could be a return touchdown, it could be a return touchdown, it could be a return touchdown..." Or so I used to until now. You can win or lose a game on your special teams play.

Special teams matter in Denver. Just think back to the Mile High Miracle. Plus, whoever can say that returner job can be inconsequential and "plugging it up" is enough? Someone suffering memory loss? Do you know what Jacoby Jones did for us on special teams only when he was in his prime? Not once, but multiple times. A returner is an important position. I hope Magee comes back, he's not a WOW player, but there's a spark I'm curious to exploit.

For the returner job, I really miss Jacoby Jones. Haven't seen anyone else show at least flashes of the excitement he could produce. However, I am well aware that cutting him when we did was necessary. Right now I'd test Webb if he's healthy. Melvin can cover his CB position if necessary. Steve Smith might do well, but he on the other hand is irreplaceable.

We have plenty solid players, but no one who causes a bang and a flash. I like Magee and think he can do well, however, both him and Forsett are small and shifty guys and without Taliaferro we don't have a power back. Will Juice be able to take up the role? Previously, he was labelled a lot as versatile. Does that hold true? And is Trestman willing to test him?

The hit was disgusting and dangerous. The other hit by Robinson on Bridgewater looks just as ugly and just as intentional. Robinson should not only get fined, but suspended and if he ever does that again, ejected from the league. I wonder that Aiken got up uninjured, as was said here before, he could have been dead or Jason Street of the NFL. This should be an issue.

Doesn't look to be serious:

 

Aaron Wilson ‏@AaronWilson_NFL 38m38 minutes ago

One day after leaving the game with right knee injury, source says Ravens defensive lineman Timmy Jernigan should be OK, not long-term inj.

That's good news! Carl Davis looks decent, but I am looking forward to the dominating young boys, Jernigan and Williams. They're real punishers.

Crockett is awesome! This is what I want to see on the field when I watch Ravens play. Be the man to step up and shake off hits and make yards after the catch! And yes, as any offense player, be it TE, WR or RB, learn to love blocking! Nothing like a solid block to help your team mates get yards.

That return looked good. From who we have on the roster right now, I'd keep the competition between Asa Jackson and Terrence Magee. Both have shown a spark, but both need improvement. Alternatively, search for a returner outside of what you have. Giving one of the returns to Magee, who seems to be shifty and I liked him as a RB too will give him a more solid case to stay on the roster with so many other RBs in the run.

Asa Jackson looked good on the kick return, just a shame we were 2 yards away from the end zone and were unable to push it in! That was horrid. I'd keep Asa on kick returns. However, I think Magee showed flashes and deserves more looks as well. Glad that we have drafted Carl Davis, because otherwise it doesn't look stunning.

Out of all the injuries listed above, the one concerning Timmy Jernigan scares me the most. Please don't let it be anything to sideline him for more than a game or two! The guys behind him don't seem to have enough fight in them.

O-line looked like it played without KO and Monroe - you shouldn't be able to tell except for the jersey numbers.

It's not unrealistic to hope for Perriman in week 1. I'll just keep my fingers crossed. I don't think we have anyone else with the same speed, we'll have to game plan for alternatives instead.

From current NFL players, I know who I'd expect to make a smooth football-to-broadcasting transition - Chris Canty. I think he's showed us he's good with that.

Hopefully he stays healthy. I like Marlon and remember that once he has the ball, he doesn't give it up or go down easy. If he can get 7 TDs, I'm fine with that!

Lol... so your the one.

Hey, it's depth Our OL is depleted right now, everybody counts. Of course, I'd rather just have 3 Marshall Yanda's and 2 KO's

Oh come on, Kelly! I read that there was an option a couple plays before, so Suggs was valid to evaluate it as option and you do run it! Jason Peters, I think if you get burnt on the left side, you should keep your mouth shut and not attract attention. If it was Sizzle getting to your QB, it's on you! At least kudos to Jason Kelce, who stayed classy.
