Is it possible that saying "gained 20 lbs of muscle" also includes losing 10 lbs of fat? For instance if he was 250 and is now 260, but his body fat % is down, then conceivably he added 20 lbs of muscle but not 20 lbs overall.

It’s possible for that too, but then he’s gained even more muscle weight in that case. Hurst mentioned in that snippet that he went from 245 lbs last year to 265 lbs this year.

He's one of Wink's favorite players. Is 24, with 2 more years left on his Rookie contract. He can play either safety spot. He can and has been used as a Big Nickel player for us. He's the heir apparent to Jefferson and or Levine. One of our most versatile players. He's one of the biggest roster locks on the Ravens.

DreamKid Posted June 7, 2019 Author Share Posted June 7, 2019 Some OTA Notes- - It seems Lamar Jackson is making strides with his mechanics, as his passes have looked better as OTAs have gone on. He has also avoided making too many bad mistakes, evidenced by his first interception of the open OTA practices when he and his receiver clearly weren’t on the same page and Brandon Carr got an easy interception. Jackson and the installation of the offense are still a work in progress, but there’s definitely been improvement. One of Jackson’s best plays of the day had to be when a wayward snap hit the turf and Jackson picked it up, composed himself and fired a dart to tight end Mark Andrews over the middle. Jackson also flashed his running ability on one play when the Ravens’ defense was loaded up on one side. He sprinted up the gut and would have gone for a long touchdown. That’s the kind of play, which often isn’t evident in practices, that makes Jackson special. If defenders don’t stay in the right gap, he’s gone. - Cornerback Maurice Canady made a nice play to come over the top and break up a pass. Canady has a lot of versatility, as he can play cornerback or safety. - Running back Kenneth Dixon made an impressive jump cut after a basic catch along the sideline, and later flashed his lateral movement during a run along the edge. Don’t forget about Dixon, who ran well late last season, in the Ravens’ competitive running back rotation. - Third-round rookie outside linebacker Jaylon Ferguson flashed his run-stopping potential by bursting into the backfield on one play for what would have been a tackle for loss. - Undrafted wide receivers Antoine Wesley (catches everything), Sean Modster (smaller guy who gets open a lot) and Smith, who came back from the Elliott leaping interception to catch a red-zone touchdown despite a tipped pass, all had a solid day. - Outside linebacker Tyus Bowser flashed some, making a nice play in coverage to knock down a pass and coming up the middle for what would have been a sack. - Punter Sam Koch once again showed why he’s the best holder in the business, snaring a wayward snap from an undrafted rookie long snapper and getting it down for a successful 58-yard field goal by Kaare Vedvik.

Thomas, Jefferson, Levine are set. there is such a logjam at every defensive position that i would not take 5 DB spots as granted this year but we'll see.

If it comes down to a decision between him and Clark there's no competition. Clark is younger, better on defense, still competent on special teams, cheaper, and the team would gain a comp pick back by cutting Justin. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s was one of our most productive/best camp performers last season and made waves as a rookie as well. He’s also been rather durable to this point. I’d rather we lose out on one of our former Wolverine DL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravens under JH will always have a top performing ST anyway. btw i was projecting Elliott to be a starter over Clark as a depth / ST guy but anyways, i don't see Clark hanging this year with possibly 7 starters at DL anyway. 15 hours ago, diamondbull424 said: He’s was one of our most productive/best camp performers last season did you watch Elliott in preseason '18? this guy is going to be the successor for #23. Chuck Clark to me is very expendable right now. there really is no controversial point here, this team is stacked and good football players are going to be cut before we crush the Fins come Sep 8th. Clark or Elliott, both guys would make 2/3 starting secondaries in the league anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
