Is it just me, or is the camp this season much more forgiving throughout the NFL than the previous seeasons? You saw big names and key players go down and out for a long time day by day - luckily not this time around.

The pre-season is still there, of course - but it still feels better than the previous seasons...

If we lose a big name now I'm blaming you!

Agreed, there was a lot of 1st round picks that went down for the season the last couple of years during TC.

you could have waited till after preseason to point this out.

Unfortunately, Campanaro making the team is tied to SSS and Perriman. If both of those guys are on the field at the start of the season, then they can afford to have Camp work on staying healthy. If they both don't get healthy enough to get on the field, then Camp will lose his job to Butler. I think the spot is Camps to lose and he is trying his hardest to lose it. I know no one wants to be injured, but it has been three straight years and if by now he hasn't figured it out, either he never will or he needs a change of scenery to drive that point home. Hopefully, he makes it, but at this point, I seriously doubt it.

Glad to see Jeremy Butler getting a chance to show his skills. I've always thought that given a chance he just might be a decent weapon in the Ravens arsenal. Unfortunately, he's never really been given much of an opportunity during the regular season. Maybe this is the year he gets that shot to prove he belongs in the NFL. It will be a hard road to make the 53 man roster, much less be active on game day, but I hope he keeps grinding it out and can be a productive player for the Ravens.

I made a comparison of the first two weeks of the camps - the pre-pre-season part, if you like.

I'm not only talking about the Ravens, but all 32 teams.

I know, I think its the Bengals turn, I'd enjoy watching Dalton without AJ Green to throw to for a season.

Man just when I was starting to feel good about Campanaro's chances he comes up limp AGAIN! The kid can ball but good grief is there some voodoo priestess sticking pins in a Campanaro doll? That boy is cursed!

The Bengals have exactly ZERO % chance of making the playoffs without green. Aside from QBs, he is the most valuable player to his team in the NFC North. Not best, most valuable

Even with the injuries the Ravens are still solid as a rock! Receivers can't get into a groove running the ball up the middle! The running game is set, gotta let them open it up and earn their respect on the field! This is where Joe has to turn into Ray Ray and make players play better period! Like Ray Ray did throughout his career! THIS OUR YEAR!
