GDT 2017: Week 3 - Ravens @ Jags IN LONDON

I like Skura starting over Bergstrom. Tony is bad, at least Matt has some upside. Kind of strange that Bergstrom went from the main backup guard all the way to being inactive, even instead of Eluemunor though. 

Henry being active over Kaufusi and Wormley is interesting. Still leaves Urban as the only real DE playing. But with the DE/OLB types it makes sense if they're being used more in pass-rushing situations.

I'm gonna wait until next week to determine if that is the case.  There's a reasonable chance that the reason Eleumunor is active is mostly because the game is in London and he's the first (or at least one of the first) NFL players from London.

Henry over Wormley/Kaufusi is probably in large part due to the expectation that the Jags will try to run a lot, and the pass rushing ability of the other 2 is less required, plus the reason you mentioned re: the OLBs

Any specific reason?

He was asked what the support was like over there.  Mentioned seeing fans from all over America, not just the cities of the teams and that he'd met Jags fans from Ireland and Ravens fans from Denmark

Yeah, Eluemunor might be getting the hometown advantage. Would be odd for the team to take that kind of risk though if they think Bergstrom is actually better (he's not).

Henry himself is a pass-rushing DT. Wormley is the best run-defender of the bunch. 

Wow, a kick out of bounds to start. Good jump for the offense.
