Sorting through the Ravens, Bengals matchup

by Jeff Wolfson

Sunday’s game for the Baltimore Ravens and their fans has the potential to be a long day. Coming off of a physical, emotional win Monday night, the Ravens might not have anything left in the tank for the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Ravens didn’t show much of a running game Monday night, but a lot of that had to do with a very good run defense by the New York Jets. Baltimore’s passing game was just good enough to cause penalties down the field and take advantage of an aggressive Jets’ defense.

Sunday afternoon, the Ravens will face a pair of the best cornerbacks in the NFL in Johnathan Joseph and Leon Hall. In the past, the Ravens have struggled passing on the Bengals. Of course, one way to combat a good pair of corners is to spread the field and take advantage of the middle of the field with three wide receivers and the tight end.

Ravens get Miller off Patriots practice squad

by Jeff Wolfson

Prince Miller wasn’t with the New England Patriots practice squad for long as the Baltimore Ravens signed him to the active roster Wednesday afternoon.

This move is almost certainly in response to Tom Zbikowski’s struggles returning punts on Monday night against the Jets. Miller was successful returning punts in the preseason, but was cut Sept. 5 to make room on the roster for Bryan McCann.

However, as a consequence of the Ravens signing Miller, McCann was released.

What to watch for in Ravens preseason finale

by Jeff Wolfson

Every NFL team will end their preseason schedule Thursday night and hope to avoid injuries to their starters who may only play a series.

The Baltimore Ravens will take on the St. Louis Rams at 8 p.m. Thursday and Troy Smith will more than likely play the entire game. Smith is fighting to make the team so playing a full game will be a good opportunity to prove himself to the coaching staff once again.

What to watch against the Giants

by Jeff Wolfson

Baltimore will be playing their third preseason game on Saturday night. The third game is generally regarded as the most important preseason game because the starters play at least a half, and generally, halfway through the third quarter.

The Ravens are off to a strong start, allowing just 15 points on defense. On offense, however, the Ravens haven’t done much with their first team. Joe Flacco has looked good completing passes to a lot of different receivers, but he still needs to get the team in the end zone.

Looking back at the opening preseason game

by Jeff Wolfson

The Baltimore Ravens opened their preseason amid excitement from the home fans. Baltimore looked pretty decent in a game that ultimately means nothing more than getting chemistry going between quarterback Joe Flacco and his new receivers.

Flacco connected with both Derrick Mason and Mark Clayton, who had a touchdown catch, with ease, however, it seemed like he and new acquisition Anquan Boldin were just a bit off. Flacco went completed eight of his 12 passes, including that touchdown to Clayton in the second quarter, which means he was far more accurate than he’s been in his previous two seasons. Flacco, like most of the starters, didn’t hang around long and gave way to the second- and third-string players.

What to watch for in Ravens v. Panthers

by Jeff Wolfson

The Baltimore Ravens finally get back on the field in a competitive situation for the first time since their loss to the Indianapolis Colts in the Divisional Round of the playoffs last season. Although it doesn’t really count, the first preseason game signals excitement for the fan base and gives the fans a quick look at the team that may take the field when the season opens Sept. 13 at the Jets.

Of interest, obviously, is how quarterback Joe Flacco works with his new receivers, Anquan Boldin and Donte’ Stallworth. Boldin was acquired in a trade and has been working hard this offseason, and during training camp, to develop chemistry with Flacco. Stallworth, signed as a free agent, has a lot to prove this year after being suspended for all of last year. Stallworth was signed to be a threat to stretch the field and to complement Boldin and Derrick Mason.
