vens. In Week 12 Color Rush Miles Boykin Jersey , Baltimore must handle business against a disappointing Oakland Raiders squad. Below, the Baltimore Beatdown staff details predictions for this afternoon. Sage’s predictions:Michael Crabtree will record his third touchdown of the year.Overall, Crabtree has under performed in his first season with the Ravens. He has had a particularly quiet stretch after his 93-yards receiving against the Tennessee Titans back in October. However, the extra motivation of facing his old squad should propel Crabtree into the end zone today.The Baltimore defense will force two turnovers. One of the bigger surprises this season has been the lack of turnovers generated by the Ravens defense. Baltimore has not had an opponent turn the ball over more than once since the Steelers in Week 4. Today that will change, with the Ravens exploiting a sub par Raiders team. Vasilis’ predictions:The Ravens will rush for more than 200 yards.265 rushing yards in Week 11 boosted the Ravens season average to 110 yards on the ground per game. This figure will continue to improve against Oakland’s 31st ranked run defense. Lamar Jackson will break off a long touchdown scamper in the first quarter, and Gus Edwards will salt the game away in the second half. Terrell Suggs and Matt Judon will combine for four sacks on Derek Carr.After starting fast, Suggs has not recorded a sack during the last three games. Judon is trending in the opposite direction Nick Boyle Jersey 2019 , providing half of his 2018 sack total in Baltimore’s two most recent contests. Both edge rushers will have their way against the Raiders rookie tackles Kolton Miller and Brandon Parker. Dustin’s predictions:Lamar Jackson will throw for 200+ yards and two touchdowns.The talk of Jackson’s first NFL start has been his insane number of rushing attempts. Look for offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg to open up the playbook in his second start. Jackson will prove that he can throw the ball by eclipsing 200 passing yards with two touchdowns through the air. Gus Edwards will break 100 rushing yards, again.The most overshadowed story line of last week’s victory was the performance of undrafted running back Gus Edwards. Edwards was the first 100-yard rusher for Baltimore this season, and he will reach that milestone once again this Sunday. The run game is extremely efficient with Jackson on the field, and Edwards’ downhill powerful running style compliments him perfectly. Four weeks from today, the 2019 NFL Draft will be wrapping up.If it was up to Ravens coach John Harbaugh, none of us would have to wait that long.Via Ben Volin of the , Harbaugh said if he could change anything about the pre-draft process White Nick Boyle Jersey , he would make it significantly shorter.“I think the draft should be earlier, sooner,” Harbaugh said. “We don’t need to be so involved where we need three months to watch the players ourselves. Let’s draft these guys, let’s get them to us.“And let’s be honest, they’re all coming. Nobody’s taking their last semester of school. You want to get in the real world here? Let’s understand that that’s how it works. Because they end up graduating a high percentage of the time we get them, anyway, because we make sure they do. Let’s help them Authentic Mark Andrews Jersey , but let’s not have them worried about running 40 times. Let’s get them working on football so they can contribute their first couple of years.”(At least we’re no longer pretending that drafted players from schools on the quarter system are still going to class so they can’t attend OTAs.)Coaches have been complaining about the amount of time they get with players in the offseasons, and if more people saw it Harbaugh’s way, the rookie class would at least be on the same schedule as their veteran teammates. Teams with new head coaches can begin their offseason programs Monday, the rest can start April 15. That means some of the draft picks will be a month behind getting ready for the job, so we can spend another month wondering where they’ll punch the clock.
