Preseason 1 - Baltimore Ravens vs. Carolina Panthers

[CalvinSmoke]

I'm just gonna out this out there... Carolina smashed us last time we ate then in pre season as well.  I wouldn't trip too much guys 

[redrum52]

I'll say this.  On both sides were running very basic stuff.  Where we should be worried is the the OL and DL.

[Doomville]

I saw nothing in the offseason that made me confident of the secondary so i am not surprised at all how bad it is right now. Dees is a big part of the problem and i just don't understand the stubbornness of harbaugh and/or ozzie to not hire a diff D coord

You'd think that coaches would instruct their kickers to not kick touchbacks during the preseason so they can actually gage their ST coverage skills.

remember not all teams care as much or work as much on special teams as we do

[OLD SCHOOL SMASH BALL]

Unimpressed with Waller. No fight for the ball, no hands, no job

[rossihunter2]

at least we havent game planned

[ludy51]

Buck not impressing me

[RavensFan34950]

I know there's no game planning for preseason games and all, but this isn't looking good man. Why do we make backup QBs look like Tom Brady?

At this point he's lucky he's suspended, otherwise he'd be jobless.

that was the softest zone ive seen ever

That just Pees practicing his soft zone for the regular season. Is it to early for the fire Pees promote Frazier

[ludy51]

I still can't believe we screwed up our turnover drive so badly

That suspension doesn't mean he's safe, that's never stopped anyone from getting cut.

True, but he doesn't count against the 53 man til he comes back, so it makes it an easier decision to keep him around to see if anyone goes down early.

[ludy51]

Butler almost dropped that

[rossihunter2]

tbf we shouldn't expect much from this offense - our starters were already jeremy butler etc. so i know we're disappointed that we didn't make use of the turnover but im just thankful we got the turnover in the first place

[lgcs27288]

West looking as advertised!

[JimmyBlack]

Towson Tiger West is well on his way tonight.

Truth.  I'm just sad that our defense looked so terrible when that was really all we were going to glean from this game.

[ludy51]

Love how West looks

Very true. Just wanted to check

[ludy51]

Glad to see Buck break a tackle

[bmorefan444]

Excited for the RB's and O-line.

I bet 95% of people here couldn't identify zone vs man looks

[A Fish Called Yanda]

Nice catch by Waller there.

[Cville-Raven]

Wow he caught it

[ludy51]

Waller making a hands catch!?

[OLD SCHOOL SMASH BALL]

I am sorry, but West needs to start. We got lucky getting him. He has earned it, 2nd place rb is not even close

again though, because there's no game plan the defense is never gonna do well as a unit so it's all about 1v1 matchups
