deserves his own thread if Jimmy Clausen does!

Yes, I know his stats only show 3/7 for 32 yds but if not for

Gross's propensity to hold at the most inopportune times, he would have been 5/7 for 68 yards. The first holding negated a 17 yard pass which would have put the Panthers at the Ravens 16. The second hold negated a 19 yard pass on a 3rd and 15 to the Ravens 18. In both instances, the Panthers would have had a first down in the red zone. At worst, they still would have had an opportunity for a FG.

Clausen is getting a lot of attention today but it looks to me like Moore has pretty much picked up were he left off last year.

I thought he was 4/7?

Either way, what surprised me last night is that Clausen looked more poised. It looked to recognize the blitz better and either check out of the call or hit his hot read. Moore just looked shell shocked when they came after him. Now, maybe he just wasn't expecting it as most defenses play very vanilla in the preseason and you usually don't see blitzing like that in the preseason. Clausen probably benefited from seeing Moore face sell out blitzes and came in prepared to face the same.

Clausen's getting the attention because he's the golden boy that fell in the draft.

In the eyes of the media, last night was more about Clausen's first preseason game and the introduction of the Ravens new offense. Clausen's poise was great.

Moore is Moore. Not many qbs do well when the Ravens blitz almost every play. Especially in preseason when Fox and company aren't game planning around them.

Keep in mind too that Clausen was facing a bunch of Raven's 2nd stringers. I'd be interested to see if he could hang with starters.

I thought the Ravens had most of their starting D in for the entire first half? Could be wrong but I know the starting secondary was still playing in the 4th quarter due to all the injuries they had.

they are thin in the secondary b/c of injury. Not sure the guys playing w/ the first unit are who they plan to have come regular season.

THAT is what is truly concerning. There's a good chunk of that Ravens secondary that we saw last night running with the 1s and 2s who probably won't even make the regular season roster, yet our young WRs still couldn't get any separation.

For the most part I think separation was fine...the big problem was the Defensive Linemen in Moores face the entire night! I don't think I have watched a preseason game with that many blitz packages set up! It seemed like they blitz on every down...poor Matt didn't really have time to survey the field; which makes Jimmy's outting even more impressive! Ops no one open down field, pocket closing in...lets shovel pass it!!! Loved it!

Clausen will probably get the same praise next week. Moore will see an aggressive and possibly the best D in the NFL in the Jets next week. Rex will bring heat also with his studs. With no Smitty, there ain't much concern in what you dial up. Then Clausen will come in to play the scrubs.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
