2021 Week 5 Practice/Injury Report (Ravens)

My guess is V will probably play that 50% then. Could get interesting if both miss.

 

We just have to be able to run to keep the pressure off Wentz. If we are constantly in third and long it’s going to get ugly. I find it encouraging Wentz talked about checking down today to Hines and Taylor being important this game.

What about Speed?

 

Baltimore has a top 5 run D. We're better run blocking than pass pro. Will be interesting to see if we can move it on the ground. 

 

I think regardless, we'll still have to pass to win. We need to attack their blitz. 

 

Haven't seen enough of Speed to say one way or the other.

Hopefully Wentz is even more healthy and we throw some things in there that ravens haven’t seen on tape yet. We need to use more motion and getting Wentz outside the pocket. Wentz said there is things they have not got too because of his injury. Throw some things in there for campbell too that isn’t on tape yet. Playbook will need to be more open.

Their OT situation could really impact them. As long as one is back and 90% they'll be fine though.

 

Not sure I'd assign Leonard to him this week. Oke has been pretty poor vs the run, but he might be faster at this point. Might even want to go exotic and have a DB shadow him like Sendejo.

I’d put that challenge on Blackmon. He’s a good tackler near the box.

I think we'll see a lot screens and just general RB passes. I hope we run some slants with Campbell and Pittman to take advantage of their ILBs.

I agree he's great down hill, but who is going to play FS if he's shadowing Jackson in the box?

Could this be a game where we see more 3 safety looks as long as Willis plays?

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I wonder if we are going to see Patmon return to practice soon. I mean they weren’t even sure he needed IR. Seems like they are just trying to not have to cut someone. We have 4 players on IR. I find it hard to believe one or two are not going to get cut. This is where Eason or Sam gets cut.

I just wonder if it's a situation where the damage can get worse, or just a case where the clean up didn't do what it was supposed to, can't really do more damage, and just becomes a pain management weekly cycle. 

Ya I would be real surprised if there's a greater chance there than normal.

Perhaps, but you can't let Watkins and Brown run wild either. And Andrews is a very capable TE.

If you go 3 Ss in nickel, you're going down a CB, likely your NB (Moore). 

If you do 3 Ss in dime, you're going down a DL or LB

The other safety you mentioned.  I personally don’t think we have a good FS on the team.

I agree we don't really have a natural fit for FS.

Blackmon is probably the best we have though now unless you want to move a CB to be FS.

Sendejo is a huge hitter, so he's better as a box shadow IMO.

Regarding injuries, I wonder when TY is coming back?

Looks like Smith is still a week away.

[EastStreet]

thanks @Wentzszn

 

Sounds like tomorrow will be tell tale days for Smith, as well as both Ts for Baltimore. 

 

If Stanley and AV are out for the Ravens, that will even things out a lot.

 

Personally not banking on Smith, but at least he's been out there with trainers. Starting to feel like Paye's situation may be worse than thought.

Bummer not seeing Smith play. I imagine they will be conservative on Paye's Hamstring since those injuries can linger

I want to see more of Lewis and Turay. I like Paye but I want to see the more experienced guys play more  right now.

If RYS is playing, I don't mind having Carrie on the FS some plays with Julian near the box

I know Smith not playing means more Pryor/Davenport (Oh god), but anyway, just to see this list down to 3-4 guys is great.

Honest question: Sendejo should stay a bit on the field even with Willis back? He looked solid last game.

 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Ryan Kelly added to the injury list. Hopefully just a minor injury since he practiced in full yesterday.

I am thinking another week, at least, but also could see a wait till the SF game, next week is Texans who dont have edge guys. They just need to leave pryor out there and no davenport

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Man the Titans injury report is so bad. Kind of excited to see if the Jags can band together and beat them Sunday.

I am thinking Dolphin fans and TEN fans were thinking about us like that last week

Yup. I'm on team-Pryor lol.. 

Davenport's snaps did decrease last week IIRC with Pryor's increasing.

Hopefully that means that coaches are gaining confidence in him. 

 

Just sucks being without our two best OLs... 

 

I like Reed, but he's much better in run blocking than pass pro. And Fisher just looks horrible in pass pro so far.

The right side being improved with Pryor (potentially) would be huge.

 

Miami blitzed at a high rate, but has low caliber guys for the most part. Raven blitz at a high rate, with higher caliber guys. OL needs to have a good game, or as good as possible. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Reich did say because Pryor came in late he had to get caught up with the playbook. Hopefully his  snaps increase even more this week. I am scared for Wentz if we can’t run or get the screen game going to keep pressure off. Wentz will probably be off the injury report next week since he practiced in full both days so far.  
 

Hopdfully Kelly is more rest then a big injury. Since he practiced in full yesterday seems like more rest. But it’s also possible he injured it the last play of practice.

2 things, one I wonder if Wentz will be the rest of the season on the Report since there are always those bumps and bruises, keep it clear so team doesnt get fined. 

 

and 2 what was Kelly injury diagnoses?

They haven’t done that in the past. There was a time even Leonard wasn’t on the report earlier on season.  Kelly is listed as a groin.

True, But I am thinking it will be a lingering issue at least until the bye, even if not major.

 

And ahh, well hopefully Kelly isnt too bad there just a little hit there

Buckner played with a thumb injury where he could barely use his hand all season last year. Was never on the injury report.

Wilkins' got the infamous non-football-illness tag.

 

Guessing we're likely to see Mack again this week.

Could the Ravens be a potential trade partner for Mack after this game?  Would be great to showcase him in a win and then trade him to them afterwards.

I really doubt the Ravens are looking to add another RB. 

They've got Murray and Freeman. And Williams looked very good in the first 3 games.

And don't forget they have Bell on the PS. 

 

I'd personally be using Williams, but for whatever reason the Ravens scratched him from last weeks actives.

Depends on Hines. We most likely won’t be blowing the Ravens out so Taylor will probably get the bulk of the carries.

The OC said they are having problems finding enough snaps with the ones they have. With Lamar running most of the time they are probably good.

Doubt they're going to run Hines a bunch with a hurt shoulder. Might throw to him, but can't see him running between the tackles. And JT can carry it every time.
