Ravens training camp highlights: Offense struggles in two-minute drill vs. Rams
Edward LeeContact ReporterThe Baltimore Sun
No points under pressure

One of the final portions of the Ravens’ joint practice with the Los Angeles Rams on Monday pitted their offense against the Rams defense in a two-minute situation. In three possessions, the offense emerged with zero points. The opening series, with quarterback Joe Flacco under center, was the most promising, as the unit drove to Los Angeles’ 40-yard line. But on third down, Flacco overthrew a deep pass along the right sideline to wide receiver Chris Moore, and kicker Justin Tucker’s field-goal attempt from 58 yards missed wide left. The Ravens’ ensuing drives, led by rookie Lamar Jackson and Robert Griffin III,did not get close to crossing midfield.

Surrendering sacks
The Ravens have to continue to address their pass protection. Rookie outside linebacker Justin Lawler blew past rookie tight end Nick Keizer for a would-be sack of Jackson and got by right tackle Andrew Donnal for what another would-be sack of Jackson, and defensive tackle Tanzel Smart tagged Flacco. Worse, the Rams got to the quarterback without Aaron Donald,one of the best defensive tackles in the NFL, who is holding out from camp because of a contract dispute.

Show of hands
Los Angeles’ defense tipped, batted and slapped away a number of passes. Cornerbacks Nickell Robey-Coleman and Troy Hill, rookie strong safety Nate Holley and inside linebacker Ramik Wilson each broke up attempts, and free safety Marqui Christiangot his hands on two throws. The Rams also tipped back-to-back passes from Jackson at the line of scrimmage.


Name that tune
Monday’s playlist included Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers’“Makin’ Some Noise,” Thin Lizzy’s “The Boys Are Back in Town,” Wolfmother’s “Joker and the Thief” and Deep Purple’s “Highway Star.”

Overheard at practice, Part 1
“Coach Harbaugh, gunner alert!” Rams special teams coordinator John Fassel said to Ravens coach John Harbaugh, who was engrossed in a conversation with Rams defensive coordinator Wade Phillips inside the left sideline as both sides lined up for the punt-coverage portion of practice.

Overheard at practice, Part 2
Father to daughter: “You didn’t listen. That’s sunblock, not lip balm.”

Daughter to father: “It’s sunblock for your lip.”

One and the same. Quite different from a few years ago, when the Rams cut someone they were out of football for good. Now Rams cut get snapped up by other teams. Snead got a 6th rounder out of GRob. Proves how hard up some teams are for OL.

Hard to say. I’ve seen it happen several times before - including some of the links I’ve posted in the past. I would say it was maybe a browser issue that when you copied the link it left something out or ???? Really don’t know.

Nah @bubbaramfan, I've seen much worse than what you're labeling yourself as.


Although the last time you were seen at your computer desk does have me a little concerned.


"Grrrrr, I can't get this link to work." "I need to get Rams information on ROD ughhh!"
