After the hype of the offense and defense all througho

Ravens vs. Bengals: The Good Mark Andrews Jersey For Sale , the Bad and the Ugly Thursday night was rough for Baltimore Ravens fans. ut training camp, preseason and the Week 1 bludgeoning against the Buffalo Bills, the Cincinnati Bengals halted this overwhelming momentum with a 34-23 victory. It hurt. Now, to cover it after an extended period of thinking it over.The Good:The team didn’t lay over and accept defeat. A.J. Green, as per usual, rocked the Ravens secondary. This time with a hat-trick of touchdowns. After three scores from Green and another touchdown from the Cincinnati offense, most fans accepted defeat. The Ravens, however, did not. They battled back and pushed this to a one-score game in the fourth quarter. This team didn’t quit.John Brown is the real deal. Most fans, certainly Arizona Cardinals fans, knew if Brown was healthy Mark Andrews Jersey On Sale , he could wheel-and-deal with the best of them. He’s a dynamic receiver capable or burning a corner for the deep score or making the tough catches inside and outside of the hash-marks or the endzone. He secured a grab in the endzone against Dre Kirkpatrick and magically came up with the football in triple-coverage. He’s going to move the chains and score points this year.Tight ends are a threat. Rookie TE Mark Andrews caught his first touchdown pass on Thursday. The tight ends combined for eight catches on 11 targets for 73 yards and a touchdown. They’re all capable of getting involved in the passing game.This may be the Ravens at their worst. I can’t promise it, but this looked like a game where everything went wrong. Joe Flacco and Paul Brown Stadium don’t mix; his worst games occur at Cincinnati. The fumbling issues struck. The offensive line couldn’t block. The pass rush wasn’t there. Cornerbacks couldn’t hold off Andy Dalton and company. If a close comeback game against a divisional rival on the road during a short week culminates this result, I’m confident they can play with anybody. This was not an easy game and shouldn’t have been looked at as such.A big loss can vault a team into better performance down the road. There’s nothing quite like learning a painful lesson. You’re hurt, but you learn from it. This is a game every player on the roster can learn from. This is a talented group of players and the camaraderie in the Ravens’ locker room will build off this, rather than crumble.The Ravens are 1-1, not 1-5. As I said, this loss hurt. The Bengals punished the Ravens early and forced them off their gameplan. Though it was a loss, the Ravens are still 1-1. They’re second in the division with both the Steelers and Browns beneath them at 0-1-1. It’s okay.This was a game without the two best defenders on the roster. Both Jimmy Smith and C.J. Mosley missed this game to suspension and injury, respectively. If both are on the field, maybe this is a different outcome.Nine(!) players completed catches. Flacco continues to spread the football around, rather than targeting only a single player. He isn’t relying on a 37-year old Benjamin Watson or an oft-injured Dennis Pitta. He isn’t staring down Steve Smith Sr. or Anquan Boldin. This is a full arsenal of weapons and Flacco’s utilizing them all.Tucker is the best kicker in football. Far too many teams lost or left points on the board due to missed field goals this past week. The Browns lost due to missed field goals and the Minnesota Vikings tied with the Green Bay Packers from a missed gamewinner. Chris Boswell missed both a field goal and a PAT in a five-point game. Place-kickers are invaluable and Tucker continues to prove he’s the greatest to grace the field.The Bad:Where was the pass rush receiving praise only a week ago? In my last Good Mark Andrews Jersey Sale , Bad & Ugly, I specifically praised the surplus of pressure-creating defenders. Terrell Suggs, Tim Williams and Za’Darius Smith all disrupted the Bills’ offense and won in the trenches. The Bengals offensive line, which struggled against the Colts’ front, won the battle for all 60 minutes. This can’t happen.The secondary lost, a lot. After Tavon Young and Marlon Humphrey rocked the Bills, they fared far differently against A.J. Green and the rest of the Bengals wide receivers. Green shed Young’s tackle and sprinted past Eric Weddle for the score. He beat Humphrey in the endzone for a touchdown. This was a game in which Jimmy’s absence was felt.The offensive line is worrisome. Against the Bills, Flacco got the ball out quick enough to hide the weaknesses of his protection unit. But the Bengals, specifically Geno Atkins and Carlos Dunlap, still found and exploited them. When all five starters look shaky, it’s no longer uncertain Replica Mark Andrews Jersey , it’s worrisome.The Ugly:Two games in and two fumbles from Janarion Grant. The punt returners job is to secure the football first, then create returns. Grant’s job is in jeopardy and it should be. I was under the impression the fumble from last week was due to the terrible weather conditions and nerves but Grant’s second fumble occurred in prime football conditions.Alex Collins’ carries top at 16 after two weeks. I wasn’t worried about Collins’ lack of carries against the Bills due to Flacco’s impressive passing display. No need to keep it on the ground, even in the wind and rain, if your quarterback racks up three touchdowns without a sweat. Now, with the play from the offensive line, I’m worried Collins won’t produce due to the blocking and playcalling surrounding the lack of push at the line of scrimmage.What was that two-minute drill?I understand, in this situation, the Bengals are forcing you to throw it in the middle. They play the outside, they keep the sidelines protected and you’re left with the center of the field to work with. That being said, the aforementioned ‘arsenal of weapons’ can’t settle for the center of the field on six of the final attempts on the drive. Marty must create better playcalling in these scenarios. The Baltimore Ravens got off to a great start to 2018 on Sunday, steamrolling the Buffalo Bills 47-3. There were new faces all over the field for Baltimore Stitched Mark Andrews Jersey , including the 2018 rookie class that collectively saw a decent amount of action, especially thanks to the lopsided score early on.So how did they perform? Let’s take a look:Top BillingTommy Gilligan-USA TODAY SportsBaltimore made four selections in the first three rounds of the draft in April, two of which saw significant snaps on Sunday. As recently as a couple of weeks ago, nobody probably would’ve guessed those two players to be Lamar Jackson and Mark Andrews.Jackson relieved Joe Flacco after he had already put the game in hand, but Lamar was also mixed in as a weapon early on. Andrews saw his time partially due to Hayden Hurst’s injury leaving them somewhat thin at the position. Both players impressed in different ways.Andrews helped move the chains on his way to three catches for 39 yards on four targets and looked comfortable on the field, which was a bit of a concern throughout the preseason. The gadget plays with Jackson weren’t especially effective but did keep the defense on their heels. Beyond that he looked good after taking over for Flacco, tossing a long completion and finishing second on the team in rushing with 39 yards.The Defensive DuoTommy Gilligan-USA TODAY SportsKenny Young and Anthony Averett are two more players that made their debut on Sunday afternoon. Young was active, chipping in four stops and a sack, while Averett had two tackles of his own.In what was an impressive team performance for the defense, it was great to see some of the more unheralded young talent step up. This is especially true for this crop of rookies led by Young and Averett who have the potential to be starters at some point.The Wild CardPhoto by Patrick Smith/Getty ImagesRotational receiver was one of the more contested battles of the summer, and it ended up being decided partially by special teams value. Rather than keep a player like Breshad Perriman or have Jaleel Scott active this season Baby Mark Andrews Jersey , Baltimore opted to go with the undrafted Grant thanks to his return ability.On Sunday we saw why, as he raced through Buffalo’s punt coverage unit on his way to a 51-yard return that set up the offense for a touchdown. Hopefully Grant can produce more explosive plays like that down the line, and avoid mistakes such as his muffed punt._________________________________________All in all, this was a solid debut effort for several Ravens rookies. We saw young talent step up in all three phases of the game, which will be necessary throughout the season for a team that fancies itself an AFC contender.A hallmark of a true heavyweight is a deep roster, and Baltimore sure seems to have one right now. That’ll certainly be tested in the coming weeks, but for now it was nice to see some of the rookies showcase their skills in Week 1.
