GAME THREAD - Week 2 - Titans

[Sephy]

Ravens announce inactives: G Grubbs, WR Doss, CB Smith, CB Brown, CB Carr, NT McKinney, OLB Kindle

No surprises, except the Ravens clearly trust Gorrer over Chykie Brown right now, as he is active over Brown. Grubbs is down with Gurode likely to start at guard. Hopefully it won't matter against the Titans.

Cannot PBP today, but will be providing some commentary as we go. Lets go Ravens, should get to 2-0 today without any surprises!

[EdReed4HOF]

I hope Grubbs and Carr will be good to go next week.

[Sephy]

Titans game-day inactives: S C. Hope, QB R. Smith, WR D. Williams, CB C. Hawkins, C K. Matthews, T B. Stingily, DE W. Hayes

Not that I know who all but 2-3 of those guys are..

[Strange Bru]

Watching ESPN pre-game and Merril Hoge just said some really good things about Joe Flacco and the Ravens from last weeks Steelers beat down. WOW! Maybe that is why it's chilly outside, hell may have just froze over.

[The Fanatic]

So when does Kindle get to play?

20 NFL games into his career that count and mean something, and he still has yet to take the field much less make a contributing play.

Too busy dealing with legal issues today?

OK.. just got a text from 1057thefan.. Inactives include Grubbs and McKinney? Who's starting on the left side?

[Baltimoreboy]

Strange Bru,
I'm wondering what Cowher will have to say in the pre game show.
I think we can beat the Titans straight down the middle,both passing and running.

[akashicrecorder]

Our inactives list makes me sad.

That's BRANDON not BRYANT. Our LT is still playing, but our backup DT is not. No worries there.

[ballhawk]

Kindle is kind of a rookie this year. It took kruger about half of his rookie season before he was activated. Not too suprised kindle isn't out there yet. Holding rookies back is one of the trademarks of the harbaugh era.

Perhaps it may be time for you to realize we have 2 people named McKinney and McKinnie.

He wasn't part of the team last year. Technically this is only his 2nd game.

It amazes me that they wont activate tandon doss. Imo he's clearly more ready than torrey and even david reed

[Strange Bru]

Oh well, off to work. Let's go Ravens!

Coaches obviously know something we don't

[Ravenalytics]

I'm guessing Doss being inactive has less to do with his abilities to catch than it does his ability to contribute on special teams, the way LaQuan and Torrey seem to be able to.

[PrimeTime37]

I don't know why they are so high on David Reed, he hasn't had any big catches in real game situations. Doss deserves the nod over Reed. Also, I'm excited to see Gurode get the start at LG, it should prove to be the great signing we hoped it would be.

[Tyrian]

Maybe you could look at it like they're not ready yet, like Doss with ST (I think that was why it wasn't picked?)

or maybe that the Ravens have such great depth across the board that even some guys with the potential to make some plays can't even suit up.

[Jsmoove]

DOSS still needs to learnhow to play special teams you know how harbs do it hes wants guys that can contribute all around, that still doesnt say why he's not playing the kid was ballin in preseason and way ahead of the other wideouts below Q and evans.

[ballhawk]

even if t. smith doesn't make any catches, his speed will still open up the middle of the field. it did against the steelers.
