The Ravens are here. 

 

 

Matt Rhule has said the reason he wanted to have two joint practice weeks with different NFL teams was to give Sam Darnold a good amount of reps against other guys without the worry of getting hit. He felt this would be a good way to get Sam comfortable with the offense. Will it work?

I'm glad that we are playing good teams in preseason this year. Not only is our young team learning how playoff teams conduct business, but Coach Rhule is learning too. 

Playing down to your competition doesn't make you better.

We need this from coaches to players more than most NFL teams do. From top to bottom in the organization, we are green as hell and this type of stuff helps accelerate everyone's learning curve. It also gives the coaches a great look at our deficiencies and what needs to be improved on. 

I don't think this will necessarily pay off in a noticeable way this season but I think it will pay off in the coming seasons.

Why is he hiding Sam? Sam is going to get hit. Let the guy play football. He's protecting his biggest investment because as Sam goes, Rhule goes and they may follow each other out the door if Sam fails.

Rhule made a HUGE bet on Sam.

Being late August and a 17 game schedule is around the corner would it not be more prudent at this stage to get him used to live fire so to speak in this offense rather than trying to stage favorable scenarios for him? It seems like we are being more cautious with him than some teams with actual rookie quarterbacks.

We haven’t even finalized the starting O-line yet. Don’t put him back there until we at least know the best group to protect him.

The Colts did not play their starters so Rhule did not play starters. Fitt is the GM that traded for Darnold.

Are all our starters going to play against the Ravens and if so, for how long?

Rhule said he will let you know Thursday.  To date, only thing he has confirmed is that they would see the field in game 3

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
