Baltimore Ravens release FIRST Unofficial Depth Chart before Kansas City Game

ooh we are less than 5 days away from the start of the 2024 NFL season where the Baltimore Ravens travel to Kansas City to take on the Chiefs and with this upcoming game the Baltimore Ravens have released their first unofficial dep chart now there will not be that many surprises when it comes to who is the starter and who is the backup so as of right now I am just going to talk about who the starters are I'm not going to jump into the backups because it really does not matter the depth is not really there when it comes to the offense side of the ball so we're strictly going to stick to the stars now mind you with the preparation for the game on Thursday the Ravens could slightly alter their plans on offense especially with the offensive line going into the season this could be a ploy because John Harbaugh thinks that letting out what his starting five is for the offensive line is going to determine the game and is going to surprise anyone because outside of Tyler Linder bomb and Ronnie Stanley the Chiefs can look over the preseason tape and say you know what any one of these guys are going to be the starters we know what to prepare and if you really want to be honest I don't think that these offensive linemen are scaring anyone throughout the league so secret or not what difference does it make John Harbaugh it's just to me in my opinion that he doesn't know which five that he's going to start and that uncertainty may carry on over into the season so let's jump into the 22 starters for the 2024 iteration of the Baltimore Ravens as it pertains to game one now let's not forget this is all unofficial as of right right now so starting off we're going to go with the quarterback position where of course the starter is going to be Lamar Jackson without Lamar Jackson this team does not go anywhere we don't win anything and this team is not considered one of the best in the NFL but this is going to be possibly a turning point season for Lamar because he may have to carry a heavier load upon his shoulders once again with this offensive line even if this offensive line turns out to be as good as the Ravens expect them to be if they believe that that athleticism is going to show if is still going to take a little bit of time for some cohesion so up until the point especially with the five starters and Lamar and Derek Henry not playing with them they are unfamiliar with one another except for through practices but once again they are going against each other they're not going against different teams different schemes different type Personnel so these will be the first times that as a starting group they face opposite competition but all in all we expect Lamar to do Lamar things and show why he is the reigning MV of the league next up we have the starting running back which of course is going to go to Derk Henry now last season derck Henry had 1167 yards rushing and 12 touchdowns can we expect him to replicate that same performance this season it is hard to say he has a talent of course Derk Henry can get a thousand yards each and every year but behind this offensive line behind this scheme how much the Ravens intend to utilize him these are going to be the questions that are brought up throughout the season then coming in at the starting fullback position we have HR and I'm assuming that the Ravens are still keeping a fullback on their roster the only possible reason is outside of loyalty they're going to use herard to kind of help chip block help double team help some of these young offensive linemen out just so too much isn't being put on their plate but being that we're having three new offensive starters he can't help out all three position on each and every possession but I am sure that his blocking was a factor on him being brought back to theam next at one wide receiver position we have Z flowers the secondy year wide receiver coming off of his 858 yard season he had five touchdowns but the Ravens are looking for more production because we are looking at Z flowers as our number one and potentially and I also do believe that he can attain 11 1200 yards he is that Dynamic let's just hope he's not over utilized throughout the season and too much isn't being put on his plate because coming at the second wide receiver position we have Rashad baitman where there had been very lofty expectations put on Rashad baitman since he came out of the University of Minnesota now the fourth year wide receiver gets to show exactly what he has to do he has his contract extension so he doesn't have to worry about money but what we are concerned about is help last year baitman did suit up for 16 Games Starting 12 of them but he only had 367 yards receiving and one touchdown that's right one touchdown he played a career high in game but he was was only able to muster up one touchdown let's hope that he and Lamar can get into sync because I really do believe that he is going to be the Catalyst of this offense not saying that he is the most important player but I do think that his role is being minimized because of all the injuries that he's had in his non-factor in the first three previous Seasons with the Baltimore Ravens having lack of weapons across the board now I know they got Andrews I know they have I know have dark but just having baitman perform at a average level opens up this offense even more and just gives teams more to worry about so let's hope that Rashad baitman can fulfill his first round promise coming in at starting left tackle we have Ronnie Stanley whether you love him or you hate him he is the best option that we have at left tackle last season Ronnie Stanley played 13 games they rotated him in and out trying to keep him fresh but apparently Ronnie Stanley is in the best shape of his life because he is playing for a contract whether it is with the Ravens next season or someone else Ronnie Stanley is playing for his football life is is he after this season going to be a starting left tackle in the league or is he going to be a rotational player on some other team we don't know but for this season right here we need him to be a little bit in between from the Ronnie Stanley he was last year and his All Pro Form I don't think Ronnie is going to be able to get back to his All Pro Form but he doesn't have to he just has to be a suitable left tackle now the only problem here is if Ronnie Stanley goes down there is no legitimate backup behind him because Josh Jones is rated second on the depth chart and we saw what he had to offer during the preseason which was predominantly nothing it's just like Josh Jones was sitting in his chair right here talking to you guys just watching guys zip past him so if Ronnie Stanley goes down we are in trouble now starting at left guard we have Andrew Friday the 13 Vorhees and let's hope he is not Jason and kills our season a lot is expected of Vorhees a lot of hype has been put up saying that he would have been a second day selection had he not been injured but he was injured throughout college now we are all hoping for the best from Andrew V but for me personally I would have liked for boy he to have at least one year where he was a rotational player where he could get in a few snaps here and there go in a few series and actually learn the speed of the game yes he played in the preseason yes he's participated in practice but for someone to come from nothing to starting left guard concerns me a little bit he may be fine in the long run but as of right now he is an unknown is that they are known knowns and that they are known unknowns but there's also unknown unknowns things we don't know that we don't know what there is an uncertainty with this offensive line that could hamper the Baltimore Ravens throughout the season we just don't know yet now we have our starting center Mr I ain't got no worries Tyler Linder bomb as long as Linder bomb is healthy we have no worries here the Pro Bowl Center is the best offensive lineman that we have he recently just came back from injury hopefully this does not hamper him throughout the year because he is the leader of that offensive line he sets the protections and normally the way he goes is the way we go so let's just hope for a speedy recovery and hope we have no setbacks with him because behind Tyle Lind bomb is Nick s and he is another rookie that if something goes down we have to throw him into the starting lineup and he was injured so let's just hope Tyler Linder bomb hangs around for the full season no issues we cannot afford to lose people especially Pro bowls then we have at starting Right Guard the failed science experiment the guy that we brought in to be a tackle and it didn't work out Daniel fele now at Right Guard this may be the only position that if fele is the starter and something happens to him we may be able to bring in a replacement that may be better suited for the position love or hate Ben Cleveland he may be the best option at the position even though that F lelay starting to try to get his feet wet to see what he can do so if he actually goes down we might be better off I'm not wishing injury on anyone his play May dictate how much time or if he stays into starting lineup and then coming in at right tackle it's CC penniston finally I mean it's Pat mcari no longer do we have Mr utility to brandish around saying he could fill he is actually going to go out here and start to earn his money apparently the Ravens feel at this juncture in time that Roger rosengarden was not ready to start the season this may be the one and first smart thing that the Ravens did in my opinion as far as this offensive line line goes if Roger isn't ready don't put him in there if Patrick Mar is one of your five better offensive linemen you put him in I don't give a damn what value he has backing up which positions if he is one of the better guys blocking if he is one of the guys that can keep Lamar safe you insert him into that lineup and for once this is something that the Ravens finally did but of course they would do this during the final year of his contract so he could ball out and earn himself a boatload of money and go elsewhere is that not the Ravens way you finally get some production out of a player before he leaves now we head over to the starting 11 for the defense and of course you are going to get no surprises here we all expected this there was maybe one slight a mission but depending upon how you look at the play it's not an a mission at all it's just the better player actually went out the spot but we are going to start with all World Justin matab BK at defensive tackle 13 sacks last year $98 million contract let's hope he continues to ascend and do the things that he does and disrupts the passing game as well as the Run game we're going to need him without that proven Edge on the team and hopefully he can get double digit sacks I'm not expecting him to get 13 but hopefully he can get somewhere around it because we are honestly going to need him this season especially with our defensive coordinator being gone and running a whole new scheme he is going to be the one that we need to apply that pressure up front then coming in at nose tackle we have Michael Pierce no surprise there but at the other defensive tackle position they are starting first rounder turn and third rounder Travis Jones now it has been no secret that since BR Washington has gotten paid his play has regressed and Travis Jones has looked that much better so he has been inserted into the starting lineup then we have on the Edge odaf O we're expecting odaf OA to take a large leap in his fourth year because this is the year out of all others we need him the most we don't need three sacks we don't need five sacks we need this guy to get between nine and 13 sacks during the season he looked a lot better last year after he slimmed down and tried not to be as bulky there was a lot of potential shown from him last season and hopefully he continues that Ascension to be the pass rusher that the Ravens needed when they drafted him in the first round coming in at the Mike Lineback position we have Mr do it all himself do Ron Smith no surprise there leader of this defense the best linebacker in the league then Manning the will position we have Patrick Queen's replacement Trenton Simpson who has looked outstanding during the preseason he for all intents and purposes looks like we have not missed a beat losing Patrick Queen hopefully he can continue his preseason rise and continue it all through the regular season because we are going to need him and his defense to probably carry the team through at least the first three weeks of the Season then at the Sam linebacker position we have Kyle Van oi the 33-year-old who had a career year last year we're not expecting him to have another career year but we're expecting him to kind of lead these Ed rushers and at least be serviceful because right now as they pass rush things are really undefined so for him to take a step forward and actually be that guy that we saw last season it's going to help out a lot especially with losing Javon Clowny then Manning the first quarterback spot we have Brandon Stevens who had an outstanding year last year he is in a contract year as well so I expect Brandon Stevens to ball out and make a boatload of money Eric dasta spoke recently about Brandon Stevens saying and we'll try to keep him but you know we don't know how these things are going to work out so if Brandon Stevens has a season like last season teams are going to cover him and he may be gone and speaking of being gone the next quarterback is Marlon Humphrey now I don't know what's going on with him he's been doing a lot of talking on social media like he wants to win a championship this year like he knows he may not be on this team next season but we need Maron Humphrey to get back to the All Pro Marlo that we used to know hopefully all the injuries are behind him we need him to be a lock down Corner because this is supposed to be a no-fly zone in Baltimore now coming in at the free safety position we have Marcus Williams this is another gentleman who the Ravens paid handsomely who we need to stay healthy the Ravens are just a better team with him on the field so if he can stay healthy and continue to do what he does the Ravens are in good hands and last but not least coming in at strong safety we have possibly one of the next Raven great Defenders possibly a defensive player of the year candidate in Kyle Hamilton we just need Kyle to be Kyle and do the things that he does the Swiss army knife of the Ravens defensive backfield of which we don't really have too many concerns with outside of the edge position which may not be that big of a concern because we had this concern last season everything seemed to turn out just fine so hopefully we can replicate that we don't have to lead the league in sacks but we do have to get pressure on the quarterback but this is why we have this Allstar secondary to shut teams down just in case we don't get home and this everyone is the Baltimore Ravens first unofficial depth chart so make sure you come back for my next video where I will preview the Baltimore Ravens and the Kansas City Chiefs upcoming game on Thursday night in which the Ravens should win but even if they do not even if the Baltimore Ravens happen to lose this game the one thing that I want to see is consistency from this team I want to see a good showing I want this offensive line to at least look decent if we lose in the offensive line looks like there is promise there I have no problems with it you going into the home of the defending NFL Champs on a Thursday night where your starting offense has not played a down together during the preseason if they lose they lose I just am going to look for the Aesthetics of it so until that [Music] video n man I'm cool
