PressBox: Five Takeaways From The Ravens-Commanders Preseason Game

I think we are going to love Zay Flowers.  The TD catch was electric.

[Mike B]

There was a lot to like last night.

Justice Hill, Flowers, Kollar, Mitchell, Vokolek, Travis Jones, Kevon Seymour, Washington all showed well.  

 

The Ravens are really talented.  I think the offense is going to score a lot.  Hopefully, the defense gets healthy,quick.  This could be a good season.

I read he hurt his shoulder during the game but Mitchell in particular seems like a diamond in the rough that could very well become our main, return guy.  Extremely fast and elusive.  I wouldn't be surprised in the least if he beats out Gordon for the 4th back.

That one play an example... there was more than just Flowers YAC effort (which was great) to get to the end zone there, for us to get excited about. There was misdirection off the snap coupled with route combinations that were designed to make space for SOMEONE if the secondary doesn't play every target with some discipline. Flowers was sprung open because the Redskins bit en masse on the other guy. Simple stuff that Roman didn't incorporate enough of in recent years, regardless of who was behind center.

I'm late to this party, but I didn't see much discussed about it; Johnson's interception, the commentators seemed to blame Johnson not getting enough on the ball, but the way I saw it Proche let a defender rip the ball out of his arms when it was between his numbers.  I'm blaming Proche for that pick 10 out of 10 times.  Did anyone see it differently?

 

There's almost no shot Proche makes the team, right?  Wallace has shown me something this preseason, but Proche was already on thin ice after last year and he's shown me exactly 0 this preseason.

Proche was barely hanging by a thread as is. His only potential value to the team would be on special teams, and he's probably been passed for that as well.

He gone

Yeah, I mean, you CAN give Johnson blame cuz in the end he threw the ball and left just enough off it to give the defender time to get there. But Proche not fighting through at all and allowing it to be picked off is not a great look either.

Again, you see highlights every single week from all over the league where a receiver fights through a should-be/would-be INT to make a big catch. Rips the ball away from a DBs hands, shields them off with the body to get position, etc. The Ravens are RARELY in those types of highlights. Proche could have made one of those plays there that make the QB look better than they really were, and he didn't.

Proche is WR7 right now. Wallace is good on special teams and has been better this preseason so he's 6. They will keep 6 at most, maybe 5 since they will want to keep around 17 TEs.

Even if Proche pulls it way he's falling out of bounds. The only one in bounds is the db.

Proche was handling punt returns when Duvernay was hurt. He might make the PS.

I think there are guys who push Proche off the roster.  Tylan Wallace is probably the 6th receiver now.   Tarik Black and Laquan Treadwell may be ahead of him too.

Proche had his moments during preseason games over the past few years but overall, he's been a bust.  Just didn't make it count when he had his chances, which weren't many.

I hate using the word bust, especially for a 6th round pick, but I agree his time is up.  

[PrimeTime]

Not sure if this qualifies as a hot take but I think Charlie Kolar unseats Isiah Likely as the #2 TE by mid October.

I think they both play a role.  

Maybe it is just the number, but Kolar reminds me a lot of Dennis Pitta, which is a very good thing.

 

I think Likely moves outside when the Ravens are in the red zone.  The Ravens are loaded at TE, IMO.
