For the players hoping to make the 53-man roster, Thursday’s preseason finale at the St. Louis Rams is about the best in show.

After struggling in the first two exhibitions, the Ravens’ first unit showed progress on both sides of the ball in last week’s 31-point blowout of the Jacksonville Jaguars.

This game is about the reserves and rookies who are trying to play their way in as not many starters are expected to play or receive significant time. Final cuts will be announced Friday when coach John Harbaugh will trim 22 players.

"This is the biggest game in the careers  of a bunch of guys Thursday night," offensive coordinator Cam Cameron said. "There’s a lot on the line for these guys and I can’t wait to watch some of them play."

Matchup to watch: Bernard Pierce vs. Bobby Rainey 

  

The rookie RBs are battling it out for the No. 2 spot. While Pierce has shown the ability to run between the tackles and dish out contact, Rainey is an excellent receiver out of the backfield and is getting work as a punt returner.

    Backup RB will be Pierce because the Ravens need a power runner for short yardage situations,,,,,,,third and one still scares me top death as Birk is very , very weak so we need the runner to generate as much of his own power over the middle as he can……….I hope this made sense , it felt awkward……
