On the other side of the ball, the Ravens' first-team offense looks to see an entire half of play against the Eagles

Don't know if that is a good idea, playing McNair for an entire half against a team who has two excellent Bookends on the Defensive Line.

As the Eagles starters will be playing into the 3rd Q,as this is their 3rd preseason game.The Raven starters need to start getting in rhythm and condition for a full game by the time the season kicksoff.It starts now.[Yeap we all worry about injuries].

Well Purple, you've got to test them for more than one drive at some point before the regular season. This is it.

I have never been so worried about an O line in all my life.
I have to go pray now.

This is what we have. An injury now is no better than one in the first game of the season when starters are playing 4 quarters. If this o-line doesn't come together, then the season is toast. We've known that for 3 years now.

I'm all for seeing them play more. The risk of injury is always there... let's see our guys coordinate half a game so we're ready for a fast start to the year. I hate losing our opener.

I worry about injuries as well, but it could happen at anytime.

I agree...I think it hurts the fans so much more when a player goes down in pre season though, the thought process is like, well maybe they should of sat that play out - at least when it happens in reg season, there is already so much going on that it doesn't stick in your mind as much!
