Next man up! That's the way to look at it. Go Ravens.

Doom will be missed but Zadarius and Judon will make the most of his absence.

well,the edge goes to BALTIMORE in the injury dept.because are guys really are multi-functional swiss army knives and i'll also give them the edge in who's coaching them.

[dirtybird66]

i'm gonna state for the record that BALTIMORE may be sorry yet again this year that they didn't keep an extra DB/SAFETY BROOKS or extra receiver/BUTLER when PERRIMAN goes down in the first game.

Why on earth would you say that? Have confidence in the guy. Perriman is gonna shock a lot of people. But why would you say he will get injured the first game?

So if you ever need a WR like BUTLER you simply go through all the practice squads. There are plenty of WR roster fillers hanging around.

Because this "fan" has shown himself to be a troll!

Judon had beast of a camp! Za D is ready, he looked great and plays with intention. It will be good to be full strength so get back soon Doom.

I thought Seantrel Hendereson was appealing his suspension and was able to play...?

[mearzunkies]

That front 7 is swiss cheese. RUN the rock...A LOT!

In other words you want to be negative for the sole purpose of being able to say "I told you so" just incase Perriman does get injured early on. What a fine human being you are!! So sad.

I pray that the injured guys heal up soon and that we stay healthy this season! Go Ravens!!!

I want to see Big Brent Urban! The pass rushers on this squad will have the ball in Joe's hands in no time! So glad he's back plus his ability to block FGs he got one in preseason if I remember correctly plus one last season! WE THE BEST!

[Rav'n Maniac]

The NFL ruled on his appeal Friday and upheld the suspension.

I watched preseason and seen a lot of potential in these Ravens players so, can or is this team's coaches have the smarts to get passed New England? It will be the Pats in the AFC Champion game don't kid yourself. Remember the last AFC game? it was Ray and his hit crew that knocked the will out of Pats! If they have that then the other games are just speed bumps.

After watching the replay of our game against the Colts. It's hard to understand why they cut Terrence Brooks after that amazing open field tackle he had in the beginning of the game. With our secondary being fragile I dont understand why they opt'd to keep Elam but not Brooks.

[Ravensfansince03]

I want to see Big Brent Urban! The pass rushers on this squad will have the ball in Joe's hands in no time! So glad he's back plus his ability to block FGs he got one in preseason if I remember correctly plus one last season! WE THE BEST!

I'd like to see him and Matt Judon.

That means Forsett needs to hit the holes hard and not hesitate.

Forsett will be ready. He has a chip on his shoulder and wants to prove his 2014 year was no abberation or a result of "kubiaks system"..plus he has the young boys on his heels pushing him for snaps- he knows he's got to put up numbers. I expect him and west to both move the ball well and Allen to make some nice plays out of the backfield and on some dump off passes. Ofcourse alot of their succuss rests on the o line. If the slightest hole is there forsett will hit it. Believe that. He didnt get much help in preseason in his limited carries. He will be good to go. Man I just wish Dixon was healthy. But we'll be fine and he will add a nice boost once he returns.

Not to mention Justin has guys breathing down his neck for his job. Dixon will be back just when Ravens need his most.

I agree that it doesn't seem in our best interest right now to have cut Brooks or Butler. But neither was going to start. Butler would only figure if both Perriman and Smith go out but we have Waller coming back in week 4. He has more potential to not only start but star in this league. Brooks is more questionable to me. I have to assume the coaches and Ozzie think that he was less able than Tavon Young, Levine, Lewis, Wright, Powers and Davis. IMO Kendrick Lewis should have been cut instead of Brooks. They also must feel that Webb and Weddle will hold up and do well on the back end. If all these assumptions are correct then they did the right thing to cut Brooks....time will tell.
I'm far more interested in knowing how much Gilmore and Smith,Sr. will play. If they are full speed then I really like our chances.
I'm not worried about left guard because I believe Harbaugh can figure out who is the best between Urschel, Lewis, or Jensen....all should play well in the company of Stanley, Yanda and Wagner. IMO, Wagner's healthy return is exceedingly important. We didn't have anyone that could replace him except Hurst and i think that is a significant drop in talent. I hope Zuttah is healthy and doesn't get pushed all over the field....Urschel better be healthy if Zuttah is under performing or this could negatively impact our offense significantly.
It would be really great to see Urban step up and show some the domination that has been long expected. If he does then our front 3 of Williams, Jernigan and Urban could be one of the best in football. God knows they are big enough. I like Z. Smith to establish himself as a premier linebacker this year....the kid is just plain good. But I am praying that the coaches haven't overestimated the ability of McClellan and Orr. Both will be called on to play big roles in the defense and could easily make or break the defensive success we need. Again,.....time will tell.
Any production from Judon, Moore or Henry will just be a bonus, and a welcome one at that.
But the guy everyone is overlooking this year is Flacco. IMO he will have a record year and throw at least 4 TD passes against the Bills to lead the Ravens in a rout......44-17.
