My expanded thoughts on the impact Cam Jurgens can make for the offense. He’s going to open up the playbook for Declan Doyle. #Ravens #RavensFlock @HuddleItUpFilms @4thdowntakes

This is on the watch list for tonight. Going to be a good one.

Lmao this dude. Who can take him seriously. The shade to 23 is immense.

Lmao. The jokes write themselves on this one. Or is it Michael B. Jordan??
The Ravens signed veteran guard Michael Jordan to the practice squad.

Really good thread on the differences for anyone interested. Feedback from Colts fans, including one saying Nelson could pick where he wanted to go. Which is an interesting wrinkle.
Howie Roseman got a second round pick and fifth round pick for Cam Jurgens. The Colts got a third and fifth for Quenton Nelson. How? #Eagles #Colts

I don’t even understand this point. Nelson was made available after they started losing more games & fired Ballard. Well before the trade with Philly. The 2nd for Philly is in 2028 v. the 3rd in 2027. And they needed a center lol. Plus Jurgens is signed for longer and cheaper.
I’m an EDC defender but giving up a 2nd and a 5th for Cam Jurgens and seeing Nelson go for a 3rd and a 5th is a horrible and frankly indefensible look

The Seahawks are getting Nelson for 11 weeks (unless they re-sign him). I think people are totally overlooking the reality of his expiring contract. This isn't the NBA. My only criticism would be they could have waited longer, but whatever.

More context from Brian. Trades are not that simple to pull off and here’s an example of the complexity involved.
Nelson is due ~$10M for the balance of the yr. Ravens only have ~$1.2M in Cap space, so they would have had to restructure a deal or two or asked the Colts to eat some salary (which then have probably cost a 2nd). Seattle had enough Cap space to make the deal w/o Colts eating $.

Wow. Props to Seattle. That’s a hell of a swing. I’d be curious what the comp looks like.
Trade: Colts have agreed to send eight-time Pro-Bowl guard Quenton Nelson to the Seattle Seahawks, per me and @rapsheet. Nelson is on an expiring contract and the Colts are opting to get back draft capital now before they could lose him in free agency. But an all-time Colt now moves on to the Seahawks.

That’s a steal
Trade! The Colts are sending eight-time Pro Bowl guard Quenton Nelson to the Seahawks for a 2027 third-round pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick, sources tell @ringer @netflixsports.

I would also be cool with a pick swap — get their 3 or 4 back in return. If they can pull this off, it’ll be the best interior OL in the league. #Ravens #RavensFlock
A 2027 2nd should be a no-brainer for the Ravens (assuming an extension as part of the trade)

How far we’ve come… Also this team was 5-4 at one point too after not scoring a TD in 5 straight games. Again, long season ahead. #Ravens #RavensFlock

Well you’re talking about Lamar lol so that’s just not a viable comparison at all. That’s not “a player.” That’s “the” player. When we last saw him, the team was about to put up 40 on the Titans. Also not sure what you mean by years. They were in the Divisional in 2025.
Replying to @devpanchwagh
Agree, but the current feeling is them. Just feels hopeless. Like the problems are deeper rooted than just getting a player or 2 back. And its been the same plague for years now.

Lmao at the Bills and Jags fans reactions to the Vega injury news. Both calling out their defenses & how they won’t take advantage either way lol. I hope Vorhees is the choice over Jones. Felt a little better when he had to play in comparison. Need 8 back badly. #Ravens

He had at least two QB hits on Burrow that I saw/charted as well. Trey is not the issue and he always plays hard, every snap. They need him in more 3rd and obvious though. Cincinnati didn’t face as many in the second half. #Ravens #RavensFlock
Whoever said Trey Hendrickson wasn’t doing anything on Sunday, watch this. (Shoutout @TheoAshNFL great breakdown)

I’m just not even bothering with this season lol. I can’t do more than a single game with Jones at guard again.
#Ravens first-round guard Vega Ioane, one of the NFL’s best rookies this season, suffered an MCL sprain against the #Bengals, sources tell me and @MikeGarafolo. It’s considered to be a short-term injury, though he will miss a little time.

All the lack of leadership stuff is a bigger deal when you’re getting your asses kicked. I’m not saying it’s not an issue but it gets compounded by the media when things aren’t going well. Start by getting 8 back in the lineup. And play a quality game v. a quality team. #Ravens

Even if they lose to Buffalo, it’s not a deal breaker. But how they show up will matter.

What I tweeted during the game btw. Now everyone is saying Jurgens played well. I didn’t think the OL played horrendously, exactly. They were better in pass pro than but still had the penalties & couldn’t run block. Also, no Vega matters. Get him back to pair w/ Cam. #Ravens
Jurgens on the 3rd down completion to Zay blocked two. He’s been outstanding so far. #Ravens #RavensFlock

I’m quite confident that once they can clear the injury hurdle, this will be a good group. Simpson is your weak link & a penalty machine. But nothing you can do to avoid playing him at this point.

Anyone watch the Jurgens tape yet? He looks amazing back at center already 🤦‍♂️
