M.10.E Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 After watching the TC live video, looks like Bozeman/Skura/Fluker were getting the first reps at IOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.10.E Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 (edited) Unfortunate. Raven career probably over before it started. Edited August 17, 2020 by M.10.E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danand Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 First it was a soft tissue injury and now a severe knee injury. I feel so bad for the young guys who never get a chance to prove themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Reed Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Yep. We were uncharacteristically (for us) healthy last year...hope that doesn’t come crashing down on us like years past, but appears to have already started Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RavensTillIDie Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Sucks about Marshall, but on a macro level, this shouldn't be a huge detriment to our secondary given the depth we already have. As far as training camp goes, I'm really curious to see how our linebackers look. Wonder if Queen and Harrison will have to earn those starting jobs or if it's theirs to lose. Also curious to see who wins that starting OLB spot next to Judon. Lots of fun story lines for this time of year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, definitely sucks and don't want it to be a situation where we have more injuries occur, but this might be a situation where an injury helped sort out excess at a position where someone deserving would need to be cut. I don't think that's it for Marshall, he'll have two years remaining on his rookie deal (so continued option value) and may be a good option to fill Jimmy's role for 2020 in 2021 (think Carr in 2019). I think the starting OLB alongside Judon is situational. My money is on Ferguson for "base," with a lot of two Sam looks (i.e., Bowser) on third down.

Basically, we might only have 7-8 players who should be considered "starters" on defense, B.Will, CC, Judon, Clark, Thomas, Humphrey, Peters and an inside linebacker. The rest of those spots are rotational pieces - maybe even Brandon Williams fits into that last category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boodgyman5220 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Looks like we’re bringing Dez in for a workout. Interesting. Either they don’t like what they see out of Boykin in year two, or they feel like this training camp is really slowing down the development of those rookie wideouts. https://www.nfl.com/news/dez-bryant-to-work-out-for-baltimore-ravens-this-week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that translate to actual football? Who knows, but competition never hurts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berlin calling Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 i mean he's 31 so should still have a few years in him but this move shouldve been made 2 years ago. Opportunity wasted but you know he'd give his best for a ring so i'm all for it. If its a cheap one year contract that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DontTazeMeBro Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 (edited) If he can still run in the 4.5s and will sign cheap then screw it. Give him a shot. Edited August 17, 2020 by DontTazeMeBro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamondbull424 Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Yeah, one good thing about Dez is he was always competitive and the type of WR that would be a physical blocker. That alone would fit our offense. So the major thing for me is how are his hands, his last few seasons in the league he seemed to have more and more cases of the dropsies. If he’s gotten that under control and is healthy, I’d be surprised if he’s not a better player and fit than last season’s Seth Roberts. It wouldn’t surprise me if Boykin not making strides is the cause of this type of move... No way a guy of his physical traits and athleticism shouldn’t have ever fallen short of 1000 receiving yards in a healthy season where he started all the games. I think on some level that has to be a work ethic/passion thing. So it certainly wouldn’t surprise me if he’s largely the same player as last year.

If he can remain durable, I see no reason why he won’t easily replace the value left in Hurst’s wake. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamondbull424 Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Found this to be less insightful than I thought. Though I suppose it makes sense that they weren’t going to give opposing teams a competitive advantage by virtue of legal “live scouting”. Oh well.
