coordinator0 Posted September 1, 2017 Author Share Posted September 1, 2017 Yeah, he's fighting with Payne for a roster spot. Woodrum, Mizzell, Matthews, Adeboyejo, and maybe Skura are competing at their position groups too. I think the rest are fairly easy to expect though. So of course there will be a big surprise or two.

DontTazeMeBro Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 I'd be really surprised if Mizzell gets cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coordinator0 Posted September 1, 2017 Author Share Posted September 1, 2017 Current roster: QB: Joe Flacco / Ryan Mallett / Josh Woodrum RB: Terrance West / Danny Woodhead / Javorius Allen / Taquan Mizzell FB: Ricky Ortiz WR: Jeremy Maclin / Mike Wallace / Breshad Perriman / Chris Moore / Michael Campanaro / Chris Matthews / Quincy Adeboyejo TE: Nick Boyle / Maxx Williams / Benjamin Watson / Vince Mayle / Ryan Malleck OT: Ronnie Stanley / Austin Howard / Stephane Nembot OG: Marshal Yanda / James Hurst / Jermaine Eluemunor / Maurquice Shakir C: Ryan Jensen / Tony Bergstrom / Matt Skura DL: Brandon Williams / Michael Pierce / Brent Urban / Chris Wormley / Bronson Kaufusi / Carl Davis / Willie Henry / Patrick Ricard OLB: Terrell Suggs / Matt Judon / Tyus Bowser / Tim Williams / Za'Darius Smith / Brennen Beyer ILB: C.J.

I'm sure he will be one of them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drd23 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 I think Nembot is at a bigger risk of being cut than Skura personally. Skura played with the 1s a lot more i pre-season than Stephane did iirc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coordinator0 Posted September 1, 2017 Author Share Posted September 1, 2017 That would make the depth at tackle funky. Hurst is probably starting at left guard, but he would be the only backup tackle on the roster is Nembot got cut. Bergstrom might be able to slide out there but I think he's being looked at as an interior player. I think there's a decent chance of the Ravens bringing in another tackle and cutting Nembot, but he's the right tackle depth needed right now. Yanda could slide out there I guess but like I said before it would be a strange depth chart with a lot of maneuvering needed if/when injuries hit.

scoobz Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I think Bradley is almost a lock for the roster personally especially with the McClellan injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's who I was referring to at the beginning fighting with Payne for a roster spot. The latter is somewhat similar to Onwuasor so Bradley might have an advantage for defensive purposes, but I think I might prefer the former for special teams. I'm good either way.

coordinator0 Posted September 2, 2017 Author Share Posted September 2, 2017 Mizzell gets cut in favor of Allen. I'm not particularly surprised, both backs look like they're only useful as receivers and Javorius is a better one. He also has some special teams value. But Allen could get cut soon in favor of another back being brought in. Ortiz is gone which means no true fullback. Sounds good to me. I think the Ravens have gotten themselves in trouble trying to line up in the traditional I-form too much. Makes them fairly predictable and easy to cover whether it's a run, pass, or play-action. Doesn't cut it in this era of offense. It will be interested to see Ricard's snaps there though. Five receivers it is. I'm glad they kept Moore over Matthews. Zrebiec was hinting that it might have been the other way around. I'm not a huge fan of Moore but at least he has upside. Mayle makes it as the fourth tight end... or more likely as a special teams player. Not sure what his role on offense would be especially so soon after transitioning there from wide receiver. Lets not talk about the offensive line. All eight defensive linemen made the team which is nice. Ricard isn't purely a defensive lineman though so that probably helped. Bradley over Payne it is. Not a big surprise, although I hope they get the latter back on the practice squad. He might be one of the first signed from it during the season to cover for an injured special teams guy. Hill and Price made the roster. Canady will likely go on IR soon so he's eligible to return during the season. Should be room for at least one addition.

wackywabbit Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I have to hope we are looking for someone better to take Buck Allen's roster spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berlin calling Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Alex Boone could be a fit if we can afford him. If i'm not mistaking he had his best years under Roman right? Keep Jensen at C and make sure to not have Hurst starting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coordinator0 Posted September 3, 2017 Author Share Posted September 3, 2017 I think the Ravens will bring in another back. Right now West is the only guy on the roster who can run the ball. Woodhead and Allen are both receiving options. That could be the move made with the roster spot opened up by putting anady on IR. Not sure there's another obvious cut unless it involves some more OL shuffling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
