Four predictions for Ravens-Colts Week 2 preseason game

The Baltimore Ravens are set to play in their third preseason game on Monday night http://www.ravenscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-tony-jefferson-jersey , and they will face the Indianapolis Colts in the final game of Week two. Below are four predictions for this game. 1. Joe Flacco throws two touchdownsBaltimore’s first-team offense looked sharp on their lone drive against the Rams in week one. Joe Flacco led the Ravens’ offense on a 10-play, 70-yard drive that ended in a Patrick Ricard touchdown. Flacco and the rest of the projected starters will likely play at least two or three drives, and he will light up the night. 2. Zach Sieler and Patrick Ricard each record a sackSieler is in a tight competition along the defensive line to earn a roster spot, and he had a fantastic showing in Week one. He was consistently in the backfield as he recorded one sack and played a part in stopping the run. Sieler will record a sack against the Colts’ shaky offensive line. Patrick Ricard has turned heads with back-to-back strong showings in the preseason. He is making an impact offensively, but it his defensive performances that have been more impressive. Ricard has shown the ability to shed blocks and stop running backs in the backfield. Against the Colts, he will record a sack en route to continuing to cement himself as a rotational player along the defensive line. 3. Jaleel Scott catches a touchdown passBaltimore selected two wide receivers in the 2018 NFL Draft, Jaleel Scott and Jordan Lasley, and they have struggled immensely thus far in the preseason. Both have struggled with creating separation and drops. Scott will flash against the Colts and remind the Ravens why they selected him. He is a big Cheap Mark Andrews Jersey , physical wide receiver who excels in the red zone. 4. Kamalei Correa will have another quiet nightComing off of his monster Hall of Fame Game showing, Correa disappointed against the Rams. In week two of the preseason, he will continue to struggle. Correa has been receiving reps at inside and outside linebacker, but he will fail to build his case for a roster spot. Correa was a non-factor against better competition, and that will continue on Monday night.Ravens vs. Bills: The good, the bad and the ugly While I’ve joked multiple times now about yesterday’s win as the sixth preseason game for the Ravens, this team is, in fact http://www.ravenscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-willie-snead-iv-jersey , 1-0 on the season. There is a lot of good, but there still is some bad and a little bit of ugly to mention.The Good:A dominant win over an AFC opponent: The Ravens didn’t let this game be close. Far too often we witness Baltimore play to their opponent. If they’re bad, the Ravens play bad. When they compete against a top team, they answer with their best. Yesterday, they didn’t give Nathan Peterman or Josh Allen room to breath. They devoured LeSean McCoy at the line of scrimmage and the Ravens racked up 40 points before pulling starters from multiple offensive positions. They didn’t keep this a one- or two-possession game; Baltimore buried the Bills in points and cruised to an easy victory.Joe Flacco shared the wealth: With a new set of weapons, we all wondered if Joe’s chemistry was ready for live action. A new trio of receivers is great, but they must be on the same page to find success. Flacco answered with three touchdowns, one for each free agent signing. Safe to say they are not only on the same page Cheap Hayden Hurst Jersey , but the same sentence.Pass rush surplus: The Ravens didn’t depend upon Terrell Suggs alone for pressure. They hit both Peterman and Allen with successful slot-corner blitzes, Suggs notched his sack and Tim Williams made his mark in the fourth quarter with a redzone sack. Also, in his contract year, Za’Darius Smith was unrelenting in his pursuit of the quarterback.Secondary produces impressive results sans Jimmy Smith: The Ravens’ star cornerback missed the first of his four games from his suspension, but Marlon Humphrey and Brandon Carr picked up the slack. Carr had another Week 1 interception and Humphrey batted down multiple passes thrown his way. To imagine this defense when Jimmy returns is an exciting thought for Ravens fans and terrifying for the rest of the NFL.Resting the starters: The Ravens play on Thursday night against an AFC North opponent. This is a rapid schedule shift. While it would have been fun to see Joe throw a few more touchdowns to further embarrass Buffalo, it’s wise to get out of a dreary, rain-filled football game without an injury to a key producer on the roster.The Bad:The offensive line is still uncertain: While the offense put up 47 points, the Ravens didn’t give Alex Collins much to work with. On seven carries Eric Weddle Jersey , the starting tailback only rushed for 13 yards. Flacco’s quick release and footwork also opened up many more plays than initially noticed. They also had Flacco rolling out and this moved the pocket to keep the Bills guessing. Against a stout Bengals defense with the tandem of Carlos Dunlap and Geno Atkins, we’ll see if they can replicate the success.Drops were overcome, but there were still drops: Nitpicking a 47-3 game feels silly, but Michael Crabtree dropped two passes. The rain pouring sideways was clearly a factor but these are failed plays Pittsburgh or New England take advantage of.The Ugly:Fumbling: Twice against the Bills, Baltimore coughed up the football. One from Alex Collins which occurred from a perfect tackle by Bills’ rookie Tremaine Edmunds and a second from Janarion Grant muffing the punt. Turnovers lose football games. Those turn into touchdowns against better teams. Rain or shine, you must secure the football.
