Your presence lingered. That’s the only explanation.

Probably should do an exorcism at chase field then. I’m just going to emotionally hedge bet the Phillies the rest of the year. If they win then I’m happy. If they lose i win money. 

Biggest takeaway I had from the Baltimore game was Jalyx Hunt looked 10x better than I expected him to.

PFF has numbers from yesterday. 

Hard to find.   you need to go to each player page,  and then select 2024 and select preseason.

Our draft class is looking good so far.

Mitchell: As advertised. Starting CB.
DeJean: No idea
Hunt: Above expectations
Shipley: Good. Worst case is backup RB in 2025.
Smith: Awful
Trotter: Good. Feels like he'll play this year and likely start in 2025.
Keenan: Good. If he can figure out RG, our backup spot is set for 3 years.
Wilson: Good, WR3 or WR4 at worst.
McMahon: TBD, but fine for a late 6.

Ainias Smith is the outlier. If Cooper comes back and shows anything, we're in good shape. 

 

You’re getting way ahead of yourself. 

Wicks and Melton have been brought up as trade targets. The Packers have another WR who could possibly be our WR3: Grant DuBose. He was a seventh round pick last year but missed last year with an injury. He looks like an NFL receiver, and Green Bay probably doesn’t have room. 

 

 

 

Patella is a tough one to return from. Tougher than ACL.

Quarterman must have been really bad 

 

Lol. Even Fangio was surprised. 

Wasn't too thrilled with the defense the first couple drives with the starters. Obviously it's early, but Rodgers seemed to play too soft, Mitchell had a nice play but then looked lost on another, Ravens back up RB sliced right through like we had witnessed way too many times in the past... Linebackers seem to be what most have been thinking and saying, they are not good. I had been holding out hope with Vic singing the praises of Baun, but he didn't show anything good at all. I would think we need to get him out there more the next game, and if it's the same garbage, Howie better do something. Love Trot but I doubt he's ready to be a starter and it wouldn't be fair to thrust him into such a role.

He always was 

The Ravens defense didn’t look good either. It’s not shocking defenses, especially when a lot of rookies and backups are in, look bad since they can’t hit in practice.

We can only evaluate what we see. Who are you down on?

That was EARLY in the game. Look at how many yards the Ravens got AFTER that. 1st preseason game, 1st drive- the Eagles were adjusting. THAT is the exact reason Fangio played his starters- to get that BS out of the way, set it straight, and get it moving. The D looked pretty decent.

Complete joke that we passed on this guy in round 3, fell right to Howie and he just couldn't bring himself to do it.

Has Anais Smith already locked up the Nasty Nate?🏆

Takeaways from Vics press conference

Dress 5 DT's on game day and there has to be a backup nose

Meh, he has an extensive injury history, which caused him to drop.

I liked Wilson but some people think he may only play 4 years with that knee.

I’m just not ready to anoint anyone other than Mitchell, and even that’s too early. Hunt has been better than expected. Shipley looks ok. The rest are complete unknowns, although Smith sounds cuttable. I’m not really excited at all about Wilson. He’s just the tallest midget. We really need a WR.
