OTL: Welcome Back, JJ!

With two weeks of preseason football behind us, the 53-man roster race is quickly heating up. HC John Harbaugh already noted that, other than the QBs, Saturday’s snaps will go to those on the bubble – whether for the Ravens or the NFL.

Years past have shown a shift in teams’ approach to Preseason Week 3, with most preserving starters ahead of the regular season. Before I dive a bit deeper into some of the spots up for grabs, I want to point you all toward Jason Woolbert’s RSR article on Tuesday, which highlights some of the questions GM Eric DeCosta and Harbaugh should be thinking about over the coming weeks:

Ravens Roster Bubble: Who Makes the Cut?

As Woolbert eludes to, the O-Line has a few spots up for grabs, which Harbaugh spoke to after Tuesday’s practice:

It’s important to give Daniel Faalele his props – He’s worked hard this offseason and we saw the benefits of that against Dallas. That said, Dallas frankly looked inept, so… Take that with a grain of salt.

On the opposite side, Andrew Vorhees has looked consistently solid throughout the offseason, and he’s been rewarded accordingly. Cole Jackson, RSR’s O-Line guru, breaks down Vorhees’ play here:

Meanwhile, there seem to be more roster spot questions on the defensive side of the ball. Starting with the defensive front, fans continue to look forward to seeing more of rookie DT Aeneas Peebles. The Virginia Tech product is undersized but quick, and Harbaugh noted how valuable that can be as a “change of pace” guy:

It’s awesome to hear a 6th Round Pick is expected to make an impact, but it won’t be easy to force Nnamdi Madubuike and Travis Jones off the field. The latter was the talk of the town on Tuesday, with multiple coaches and players raving about Jones’ potential:

Jones has been an exciting player for a few years now, but with so much attention on Madubuike and the EDGE rushers, he’s got a chance to take off in 2025. Jeff Zrebiec wrote a great piece on Jones here:

Speaking of those off the EDGE, Mike Green is the flavor of the month, and for good reason – He’s been balling out. Once again, Cole Jackson has us covered with a deep dive!

Tale of the Tape: Have the Ravens have Found Their Defensive Playmaker?

But as I’ve written before, Green may have a harder time than people think earning consistent snaps. Alongside Odafe Oweh and Kyle Van Noy, the Ravens have a budding playmaker in Tavius Robinson.

Robinson began making a name for himself as a run-stopping EDGE late last season, and has talked about modeling his game after former Ravens fan favorite Jarret Johnson. Funny enough, he and Johnson got some work and tape in on Tuesday:

Love to see it!

Lastly, the NFL news of the day revolved around the Indianapolis Colts, who named QB Daniel Jones their Week 1 starter over Anthony Richardson. While there’s a million things I could say about this, Ramey raises an interesting point.

With the preseason backup QB play being up and down, how would you feel about Baltimore trading for the young, high-potential Richardson?
