Aggregated from beat reporting out of TCO Performance Center If you were hoping Day 2 in Eagan would look better than Day 1, well, pour yourself something stronger. The cleat of reality struck in Minnesota. For the second straight day, Brian Flores’ defense treated the Ravens’ offense like an uninvited guest. The Vikings’ defensive units […] The post CAMP NOTES: Flores Gives Lamar Fits, Again!…
Saturday night’s 24-7 preseason win over the Eagles was about all Jesse Minter could ask for. The 43-year-old made his head coaching debut for the Ravens, dominated, and came out healthy. There’s been plenty of hype and excitement surrounding the team, as well as a number of rookies who have performed well during camp. Saturday […] The post OTL: Stock Report Entering Preseason Week 2 appeared…
Pinter Goes Down, and the Ravens’ Most Fragile Position Has a New Crack Nobody in Owings Mills wanted to see the cart come out Wednesday in Eagan.

Remembering Sam Lamantia, Jr. As a child, to save money, my Mom would have a neighbor cut my hair. Mom said that Mrs. Celeste had experience as a hairstylist and that she would do a great job. Mrs. Celeste was and is a wonderful lady, but as a hairstylist, let’s just say that a pasta […] The post A Barber, A Banquet, and the Best of Baltimore appeared first on Russell Street Report .
The scoreboard at M&T Bank Stadium looked tidy: Baltimore 24, Philadelphia 7. The more useful story was messier. With almost all of the Ravens’ established starters held out on August 15, Jesse Minter’s first preseason game as Baltimore’s head coach belonged largely to rookies, backups and players fighting for places on the 53-man roster. Baltimore […] The post Baltimore’s 24-7 Win Was Only the…
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. Za’Darius Smith agrees, more or less, to a homecoming with a former employer. The reunion is so close you can practically smell the cake at the reception. The team’s beat writers are typing up the “welcome back” stories. And then — poof — Z is gone, off […] The post The NFL’s Runaway Bride Leaves Another Groom at the Altar appeared first on Russell Street…
When was the last time you circled a preseason game on your calendar? Exactly. The real football in August is happening in Owings Mills and Eagan, not under the stadium lights.

There are losses that hit a franchise, and there are losses that hit a city. Today, Baltimore absorbed both. O.J. Brigance passed away today at the age of 56, nineteen years after doctors told him that ALS would take far less time than that to claim him. Anyone who ever spent five minutes with O.J. […] The post Remembering Orenthial James Brigance appeared first on Russell Street Report .
Monday’s session at 1 Winning Drive was an uneventful one, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing in the middle of a busy few days for the Ravens, between their first preseason games and upcoming joint practices in Minnesota. Both Nate Wiggins and Marlon Humphrey were back at practice, a positive sign for the pair of […] The post Camp Notes: A Welcome Sight as Injured CBs Return appeared first on…

Let’s get something straight right out of the gate: this isn’t a hit piece on Tyler Loop. Loop had a solid rookie year. He connected on 30 of 34 field goals — an 88.2% clip that ranked fourth among rookie kickers over the past five seasons, per ESPN. He was 44 of 46 on extra […] The post Time For The Ravens to Get a Leg Up! appeared first on Russell Street Report .
