PFF: Ravens offensive and defensive lines thrived vs. Browns and Jimmy Smith

It was another painful road game loss on Sunday as the Ravens couldn’t finish strong against the Cleveland Browns. In the end Baltimore Ravens Womens T-Shirt , Baltimore lost 12-9 in overtime.OFFENSEI’m rather surprised with this number, but when you think about the offense as a whole, who really played better? Michael Crabtree dropped passes, Joe Flacco looked bad, Javorius Allen fumbled and nobody was a true threat.Crabtree said it himself, this loss was on him. He’s been struggling these past five weeks and needs to corral these failures. Hopefully, he does so sooner rather than later.DEFENSEThe defense did their job. They produced five sacks, an interception, eight passes defensed and continue their no touchdowns allowed in the second half streak. Unfortunately Baltimore Ravens Hats , it wasn’t enough as the Ravens offense couldn’t finish the game.Unsurprisingly, Smith produced a top-tier game. He was fantastic in camp all year and hopefully he creates some pro-bowl buzz soon.Four storylines for Ravens vs. Redskins Week 4 preseason matchup The Baltimore Ravens are set to face the Washington Redskins in Week 4 of the preseason, and there is a lot at stake. The Ravens are currently on a 12-game preseason winning streak, but protecting that streak will be the least of their concerns. Every NFL team will have to trim their 90-man rosters down to 53 by Saturday, September 1st at 4 pm ET. Much like every other team, the Ravens will have several difficult decisions to make. 1. Which wide receiver can emerge from the rest?The fifth and sixth wide receiver spots are up for grabs. It appears to be a four-man competition for two spots: Janarion Grant, Breshad Perriman, Tim White, and Jordan Lasley. Grant has yet to make much of an impact as a receiver Baltimore Ravens Womens Hoodie , but he has been a dynamic returner. Although he is currently leading the returner competition, Grant will need to have more production offensively. After having his first target of the 2018 preseason turn into an interception because of a dropped pass, Perriman has bounced back in a big way. He has eight receptions for 118 yards and a touchdown. Perriman’s route running and hands have improved, but will Baltimore give him another chance, or have they given up on him?He has had the worst preseason performance in this group, but Lasley flashed his potential in Baltimore’s win over the Dolphins. Lasley recorded three receptions for 30 yards, and he showcased his dangerous YAC ability. He has struggled with drops throughout the preseason, but it is likely he will make the 53-man roster.Tim White had the returning job all but locked up heading into the preseason, but his roster stock plummeted following a fumble on a punt return. White was given limited reps not only as a returner but as a wide receiver after that fumble. He had an impressive showing against Miami Womens Customized Baltimore Ravens Jerseys , but it might not have been enough to overtake Grant. 2. Robert Griffin III revenge gameGriffin III will have one last opportunity to showcase his talents before the Ravens have to make a difficult decision; can they keep three quarterbacks? With Joe Flacco likely sitting out, Lamar Jackson and Griffin III will receive another game with extended reps. Can Griffin III secure a roster spot? Is Lamar Jackson ready to be a backup quarterback? That is without a doubt the most important question that the Ravens have to answer when deciding Griffin III’s fate 3. LB Albert McClellan vs. LB Chris BoardThe inside linebacker competition has changed since Kamalei Correa was traded to the Tennessee Titans. The final spot will likely either go to Board or McClellan, and the competition is up in the air. McClellan is a veteran linebacker, who has struggled on the defensive side of the ball, but he is an outstanding special teams player. Board has flashed both defensively and on special teams, but he has not played top-tier competition. The Ravens could opt to keep only three inside linebackers until Bam Bradley is ready to return following Week 6. 4. Who will win the defensive line competition?One of Baltimore’s deepest position groups is the defensive line, and the injury to Willie Henry has made this group a must-watch in the preseason finale. The Ravens will carry seven or eight defensive linemen, and six are roster-locks: Henry, Brandon Williams www.ravenscheapshops.com , Michael Pierce, Brent Urban, Chris Wormley, and Patrick Ricard. Carl Davis, Bronson Kaufusi, and Zach Sieler are fighting for what could be only one roster spot. Who will emerge from this competition and earn a roster spot?
