so still up in the air then whether skura or mekari start week 1 - but positive signs that skura's suiting up with the 1s for a scrimmage in terms of him being physically able to go soon
 
Apparently Lamar was 3-9 at one point and the Ravens had back to back false starts. Seems the defense got tired of getting picked on.

so the offence didnt get going for most of the scrimmage but exploded in the equivalent of the 2nd half according to all reports

tbh im not too concerned there, i think our defense is gonna be far and away the leagues top unit. maybe optimistic but i dont care, secondary is king and even without earl thomas we have the leagues best secondary and frankly it isnt close, our scheme and rotation up front make it a done deal. our offense not being dominant vs this defense is more positive than anything because it means our defense is fucking fierce.

that was before he threw a pick

but then they put him in hurry up mode and he started torching them and then got some momentum and started putting together big plays and drives including a 40 yard bomb td to hollywood and another td to andrews

oh im not concerned at all - lamar still lit them up late on apparently which is a good sign

the other thing is that with the vets not doing proper tackling it neuters the running game a bit which obviously would slightly handicap the offence
 
Nigel Warrior ended up with an interception tonight, but it was also mentioned that he looked really good on ST. Obviously it comes with risk without experience, but I wonder if they might consider him over say, Jordan Richards. At least Warrior has some upside on D as well while we know what Richards is at this point.
 
Also of note from Kasinitz...

Wide receiver Miles Boykin downed a Sam Koch punt inside the 5-yard at one point by sprinting downfield, breaking free from a blocker and tracking the ball well enough to catch it on the fly.

While some may see this is an impressive feat, I see it as a big red flag. Why is Boykin, trade up target in the third round, being relegated to gunner in his 2nd camp?

Without earl, chargers and pats could possibly have a better secondary. I had has #1 with earl easily but now im unsure

probably because chris moore, justice hill and jaleel scott are all injured...

also worth noting that even last year we judon playing special teams snaps - just because you're a starter doesn't mean that you won't necessarily play on special teams - boykin is potentially a weapon on punt rushes and had at least one where he nearly got a block last year

i wouldnt see it as a red flag - just another tool in boykin's toolkit

i know Coach Evans thinks that Warrior's a better player than Geno Stone and Warrior's certainly flashed more in camp

a 2 and a 5 is great value for the vikings (the 5 can become a 3 but still)

him and danielle hunter coming from both ends is a bit scary

at least this whole saga is over now though

Didn't they extend Hunter earlier this offseason?

i just dont get why ben powers has seemingly not made any progress this offseason - he looked really good in all his preseason snaps and the week 17 snaps last year

i know our interior OL group is deep but... i just dont get it
