this Offense needs to be addressed...any wide recievers stand out to you?? i like tandon doss but tory smith's stock has lessened in my opinion after i saw the scrimmage and tonights game...i dont wanna say he sucks but man...

Torrey just needs to be more aware of when a play breaks down. But he is going to struggle standing out if our O-Line can't keep the QBs running for their lifes. I can't hold it against him too much. The O-line is really going to hinder how we use him.

Doss did okay. Was physical at times. Could've fought for the ball on the pick. He did have a nice return. But I like his size and presence.

LaQuan surprised me. Looked explosive and aware. Need to see him against a 2nd team.

TEs are going to be big plays for us this year.

Its only a preseason game the first one is to see how the rookies and rookie free agents play

Tyrod overthrew him on one play where he had a nice window to land it
[/quote]

He had that mental lapse when he gave up on the route. But clearly philly's corners are not the matchup we should go after.

Tough night. Hope this isn't a view into the rest of the season. There's lots of holes in the offensive armour. Lots of kinks to work out. But it is pre season. Thankfully, just pre season. Time to regroup, review the films and start jettisoning the weak. We saw much tonight that should get the "cut-ball" rolling. Don't waste time on the projects as this season is just too close to starting. Move fast and move on. Above all, remember only 11 players on the field for each team. Not 12 there, Ravens!!! That is a penalty as you found out twice tonight!

Calm down a bit. These guys have been together all of about 12 days of practice and for many of those guys, it was their 1st NFL game.

These guys will go back watch film, regroup in practice and hopefully make some great improvements next week.

[mark0408]

They only had 2 weeks to prepare and had 1 week of full padded practices

[Ravens fan PA]

Tyrod had a nice game for being under pressure all nite i like this kid.

like i said, torrey was a one trick pony in college... the next Donte Stallworth.. run downfield and hope the guy covering you is slower... Doss on the other hand can run downfield and run across the middle.. just very explosive no matter how you use him... could very well beat out Smith for gametime opposite of Boldin..
[/quote]
thank you...ive been saying the same thing about him...hes just not that good...just because you run a 4.3 doesnt mean your a playmaker...when he cut his route short and caused an interception he confirmed everything i thought about him

[Kwothdaraven]

I thought reid looked solid. Def better than O'lawdhesucks Cousins.
Jimmy smith looked like our best corner in the short time he was in there

I've already said I expected Ryan Bartholomew to be ahead of Mattison by week 1. Ryan didn't get a snap at Center tonight, as Barnes was the backup, but he played pretty well at Guard.
[/quote]

I'm sure the coaches will have him play some C next week. They have to see all the options we currently have.

Who is our new O-line coach? His obviously not doing the right job. Oniel Cousins was bad, but he looked much worse. Oher production got worst too. Not to mention, every LT/RT were not starter material.
[/quote]
They fired last's year o-line coach. I don't remember the current one's name, but in his defense, he doesn't have much to work with. He inherited last year's subpar line, got a rookie, lost Matt Birk, and has an abreviated training camp. I think this game was bound to be disappointing.

[POE]

Where do some of these posters come from? We had some areas on the team that were a little shaky and the hate comes out of no where! Wow people it's way too early to get all worked up and think that we need to make moves or didn't make enough. Relax and enjoy watching a team come together in the offseason like every other year!

[mark0408]

i dont really think people are going to play very well if they hadnt played in over 7 months and have only 2 weeks to prepare

[TheSim]

You guys do realize that all of the excuses you're making for the team... are the same excuses the Eagles could be making except that their players (particularly their starters) actually played well. And that was with their #1 and #2 receivers and their #1 corner not even playing a snap. If all you're going to do is watch the game and then tell everybody the game doesn't matter... why are you watching the game?

Hey, stop spelling correctly!

[IceDevilHH81]

Mhhh well Smith had no receptions.... but our Nr.1 Boldin also didn`t had one! Eagels have some nice CBs on the Team! Our WRs will be fine! Just give them some time!

For what preseason is suppose to be for, evaluating the talent. Why are you watching? For how the team wins?

Really????? You would think with some of these comments that this was Week 12 of the regular season.

After these guys practicing for only about 12 days, and most of these guys playing in their first NFL game, some people seem to be making pretty bold definitive statements.

But of course we all know that the preseason is the true eye ball test as to what a team will look like throughout the entire season.

a rookie making a rookie mistake in his first game action ...

All the coaches have been saying that he has been far more impressive than they eveb thought. He will be fine

[khalilasbro]

Ravens will go 8-8

[Raven112]

it looked bad tonight

I think that's just coach speak, did you see his face on the sideline? Besides, do you really expect him to rip into rookies who have only just started training camp in front of the media?

To be fair, Taylor probably saved Cousins from having like three more sacks added to his total allowed.
