Definitely interested in watching the BAL/WAS game.

What will the new and 'improved' Ravens offense look like, epecially now that Lamar has a say in how it's constructed?



But far more intriguing to me is seeing what EB's offense is going to look like against a top tier defense, granted in a preseason game. But still, it should be a very interesting game to watch all the way around. I watched a highlight reel of the WAS/CLE game, and two things stuck out to me:

One, Sam Howell looked the part. Yeah, okay, he made a couple mistakes, but overall, he looked composed, played well under pressure several times, and more importantly, he didn't turn the ball over vs. what began as a pretty ferocious pass rush from CLE.

And two, EB called a solid game, but he also showed an ability to adapt to that pass rush by changing the launch angle, utilizing a moving pocket and even scheming receivers open. He even took deep shots early. In other words, he's not just calling plays to call plays. At least not entirely. Case in point, by the third series he figured out that Wylie was oversetting and getting beaten to the inside (shocker), and adjusted his play-calls accordingly, resulting in 6 points on the next drive.


Should be a pretty interesting game if you like Xs and Os and the chess match aspect of football.
