It appears that Alex Lewis, not John Urschel, will start at LG, despite Urschel being healthy.

Not entirely surprising. Lewis showed good chemistry with Stanley to adjust and rotate to pick up rushers, unfortunately for Urschel he lost the job through no fault of his own. I'm sort of excited, I liked how Stanley and Lewis played together.

If Lewis plays well throughout the season, I wouldn't be surprised at all to see Urschel take over at Center at some point. The coaches really like him and want him on the field i think. 

In terms of today, I'm excited to see the two rookies get tested by Rex. I think they'll do well enough to keep the offense moving.

This 9/11 stuff is really emotional.  Thanks @GrimCoconut  We appreciate your service.  God Bless all who have served and sacrificed.

I see no reason to replace Zuttah and I think that's entirely a fan thing. 

After 2013, the Ravens are probably very happy with Zuttah

Didn't say Zuttah was bad, I just feel the coaches really like Urschel, but didn't expect Lewis to play so well at LG. I personally think Zuttah is the best option at center right now, but if for whatever reason that changes in the slightest, I wouldn't be suprised to see Urschel quickly inserted in at Center. 

Obviously the same holds true for Lewis, if he doesn't play as well Urschel will quickly be inserted at LG. No necessarily at in game switch though.

Surprised by Davis and Allen. That only leaves us with Forsett and West for the game, not really sure why Davis is inactive, he seems like one of our better CBs, maybe he's got an injury.

Gonna quote Buck, "Lets see which guys have some Want To today"

[bioLarzen]

Hmmm... Buck Allen, Urschel and Will Daviees all inactive...

Interesting choices.

Not as bad as Harford county but a windy day in Baltimore none the less. Sure hope our run game is on point

I wasn't expecting to see Davis or Allen on the list either, hope it's nothing serious 

[AppStRavenfan]

Sort of getting mixed messages from Buck being inactive. On the one hand carrying only two RBs seems like we'd be doing more passing than I was expecting but on the other hand Buck is our best receiving back, so I'm not really sure what we're going with here.

It feels great here at the stadium. I'll be happy if the weather remains like this.

An wind in the stadium? Worried that it could effect the potential long ball

Yeah but I don't think it'll be enough to really mess up any throws. It's a great breeze.

As Ravens fans, we should get a check up before the season starts.

This should only apply to people who were coaches in the Forum and Draft a franchise games

Good to hear. For those at the game... Make some noise and enjoy

I have high hopes for Lewis. Love a good redemption story!

We need them to buy time for Joe to hit Perriman and or Wallace deep

[Vergil2008]

I'm anticipating Perriman the most, was our first draft pic last year.. and got hurt. Let's see what he can do.

Can't wait until kick-off!  Go Ravens!  I hope everyone stays healthy and plays like a Raven.  Deep respect to all veterans, active military and first responders, and strength and compassion to all who lost loved ones on Sept. 11 fifteen years ago.  I am proud to be an American and a Ravens fan.

Ditto!!!!

Wow two Bills players missed the team bus and had to Uber to the game, that can't be a good start to the season. 

Also why didn't the Uber drop them off at Lexington Market and force them to walk the rest of the way. Where's the fan pride lol

[Vergil2008]

Not a proud American... especially when you've lived Baltimore(city). But I am a proud Ravens fan. If I lived in a faraway sanctuary like Vermont I'd probably think differently too though.

Alright. Let's go win this.

A day like today, they should be showing pre-game stuff.
