Baltimore Ravens vs Green Bay Packers [2nd Qtr] WEEK 3 Aug 24, 2024 | NFL Preseason | NFL Highlights

throws a throw that you had to throw away and you find yourself at one and six here in a quarterback competition they're going to hurry up and get to the next gu it's Merryweather who goes outside gets a block from Milton and slips his way into the grassp of defensive back Malik Harrison it's a 13 yd run to the 38 of Green Bay in the first half to to see this block out of Bo Melton here watch gets his hands redirected back inside and listen sometimes when you when you pull your hands off quick enough they won't see that little tug that you got there but that's what you want to see out of your wide receivers and I promise you you go out there and start making blocks like that springing big runs they will throw you the ball in the pass G Packers got 36 yd on the ground first and 10 and Merryweather remains for the rookie quarterback Michael Pratt with the call another block inside that by dubos and he Wheels his way for a gain of three and met by Harrison and takes it out to the 41 so Merryweather last half of last season on the practice squad originally undrafted with the Saints and waved last year in training camp Dan he's kind of a a bigger back that runs the football Kevin and he he comes in here into this Camp it looks like it's a loaded Back Field it looks like it's packed it how am I going to carve a niche for myself how do I stick around this team well sometimes it's you just do you and you do you very well and the other guys might just give you an opportunity talking about a hamstring and a and a stinger now it's a catch here from Pratt to he who takes it by Midfield met by Jaylen armor Davis he's a kid out of Alabama and a fourth round pick three years in the league a pickup of 11 good throw by Pratt first down Green Bay good timing there good strike by Pratt good job plucking the ball out of the air by Malik Heath I really like that just smooth sometimes you just take what they give you when you get into the ball game start it easy and then start getting into the group before you take your shots good pitch and catch that first down and 10 backup wide receiver will be something to watch the fake to mwea is crb on the move with the pump fake in a throw and caught by the fullback Henry Pearson who is hit on the play by armor Davis on a gain of four they'll spot him 45 44 yard line of Baltimore what' you say fullback we got that fullback back yes Henry Pearson after cutting his hair he is back and I'm glad to see had himself a really nice play in a two-minute drill playing a little bit of tight end at practice the other day too so Henry Pearson's a guy they're familiar with he was activated a couple times last year and did a good job when he was active second down in six aweather remains and mall on the hand off from TR he's got a big hole and takes it tackl seconde player out of Clemson tumbling to the 34 of Baltimore and a pickup of 10 and a first down Joel Wilson holding the edge here look at this stays with his guy enabling Merryweather to go through the def defense and when you're running through there and you don't have really anybody to contend with until you get to the second level that's when you know it's blocked up really well up front left tackle remains tord trying to become the swing tackle as is Travis Glover rookie playing the right tackle monk the rookie Center first and 10 for Green Bay Michael prad has Heath on the Move blocked by Glover here he gets past him brought down on the play an incomplete and hit by Dan alsoo Harrison there is a lot of pressure on number second down and 10 is in the area many times many times already too many times at the beginning of this ball game Ravens in the back field a little bit of this is it's taken a little bit too long to develop there for Pratt for the receivers got to try and find a way to get through your progression a little bit faster get that ball out of your hands help the lineman out somewhat Manuel Wilson back in there as a running back cut last year in May by Denver reeled in by Green Bay second down 10 it's Wilson again bouncing and trying to fend off the oncoming tackle of Washington who brings him down after a gain of four and down inside the Baltimore 31 this is the number one defense in the NFL last season of Baltimore they lost their coordinator Mike McDonald who became the head coach at Seattle now they' got Zack Gore as the defensive coordinator and they're going to be they're going to be great again Kevin they got all Pros on all three levels when you talk about matabi ran Smith Kyle Hamilton all three levels they have guys that can lead and make plays and make production it's a very good Ravens defense Wilson the back third and six Catt outside and he's got his receiver and he's got the first down the KE out of Mississippi makes the corner pick up eight whacked out of play inside the 22 and first down for the Packers Malik Keith on this route sees his coverage and sees him off and instead of running that route all the way to the sticks he breaks it off early creates separation knowing I got to catch this and get up field to an order to convert this third down does just that Malik HEI starting off this game really nicely Malik HEI played at Mississippi and Mississippi State R in the back good looking drive eath with his third reception first and 10 with a little cut right there and carving his way to the 19 yd line ball loose he may have been down they say he was down at about on field as the Run was down by Conta second of three even though darl Worley is picking it up on the Run by Wilson gain of three second down and seven so Merryweather on this drive has picked up runs of 13 and 10 this was Wilson on the pile he has not touched the ground we don't think and did the elbow get down he is still trying to Vault his way nonetheless it's a pass outside and incomplete on second down and seven and on the wing they were looking for Ean third and seven for Green Bay with a look at Matt leflour really nice first drive here by Michael Bratt moving them down the field got them in the red zone right now we'll see if he can convert another third down this would go a long ways to his confidence Kevin if he can convert this thing Packers gone inside the Quick Trip Red Zone third down and seven 11th play of the Drive Wilson is the back and there goes a flag and it's a call it number 80 offense 5yd penalty Bo Melton that wide receiver going for the fifth position John Melton Heath Duos all vying perhaps for two spots the fifth and six wide receivers and I never understood why a wide receiver would FAL start you're not even close to the quarterback he's yelling H he's saying different things you just stand there until the ball gets snapped it always confused that third down and 12 Wilson on the Move trap will go to his running back there's a nice block right there by Tay and then it is finally hauled down from behind by Walo is's out of ug Wilson the catch picking up six making it fourth and six the offense looks like it'll stay on the field and you can see my penalties are such a big deal there Matt laflor Adam stovich whoever's calling the plays down there electing to make this a more manageable fourth down there with the Quick Pass to the outside get as many yards as they can see if they can convert this on the next this the [Applause] [Music] end second quarter is about ready to get underway Green Bay began a drive at their 25 right now they're at the 18 of Baltimore and they're going to get another shot here for a field goal but this time it is gray Joseph the veteran on a 36- yd try as the kicking competition John continues yeah and and at the start of the camp I would say Craig Joseph had a little bit of no pun intended leg up on him but then as the camp continued Anders Carlson just started nailing extra points nailing field goals and he's done a really good job of staying consistent the last couple weeks and I feel like he's taking the lead back this is a perfect kick a 36y the Packers on top six nothing Joseph was signed in late March last three seasons with the Vikings he's also played with the Titans the Browns and he began with the dolphins as an undrafted player that was a drive of almost 6 minutes by Green Bay and the rookie quarterback Pratt looked effective yeah I I liked what Michael PR only 29 yards but the efficient 29 yards getting the ball out of his hands getting the ball into receivers hands nice third down conversion to Malik Heath there so he is shown that he can take what the defense is going to give him he's done that early on in this game now I do wonder will we see sea Clifford again at some point in time in this game kabin or is Shan Clifford already have the job already have the backup quarterback spot and they're going to let Pratt really showcase throughout the entirety of this Bing that's something to watch as we move forward so John here are the areas that we have talked about all summer that are being contended for now selecting a kicker the backup quarterback the swing tackle a fifth and six3 receiver the second or third running back a fourth safety no clear number one receiver on this team they think they've got four number one receivers on the team and I would agree with that notion and most of those spots you feel like you can lean a certain way but the back into that receiver room is still something that you cannot project here the kickoff is return by the Ravens it's a 30yd return and it makes it first down and 10 for B More's offense trailing 6 nothing on a 54 and a 36 yd field goal by two different [Music] kickers Owen Wright had the return today's second quarter brought to you by Network Health don't fumble with your health insurance score a touchdown with Network Health it's first and 10 and not much right there on a gain of a yard as that time they give it off to Chris CER who out of Lock Haven watch both the linebackers here both Christian wel and Tyron Hopper and you talk about Hopper a guy who had himself a ball game last week and Jeff halfy said I wish I would have made it easier for him not only did his 11 tackles look to be impressive last week but he wore the Green Dot Kevin and for people at home wonder what's the Green Dot it's basically the quarterback of the defense he's calling the plays he's getting people lined up so he had to do the mental along with the physical last about Josh Johnson ker back there again second down nine pursued well knocked down on the play looked like Hopper got in there blew it up ker taken down great I I'm not showing anything in the preseason it doesn't matter Anthony Miller makes the grab the fiveyear veteran fourth down and two Jackson to the air got the first down nice looking kick by Charlie Kohler it is a gain of five he is a third-year veteran tight end out of Iowa State and they get a first down and a goodlooking throw and what Jeff Halley means by that is simply when you when you research a new defensive coordinator you got to go back in tape from when he was a coordinator somewhere else well teams aren't going to go back to Boston College so they have no tape but this preseason tape to look at halfy told us he's running three coverages very simple that's it he's not giv anything away before the not running a lot right now first and 10 good knock away right there by Z Anderson and again they're going outside for the tight end Coler but Anderson trying to to make that defensive secondary and some spots are available makes the hit second and 10 but it was pressure here on the inside who's that Jonathan for and on the outside by Brenton Cox guys getting in there penetrating that that notion that the defensive line can make everything easier in the back and they can do that start speeding up the clock like guys get sticky that's what you want to see Anthony Johnson is also back there at a safety second down and 10 carer the running back and Josh Johnson they'll give it off to ker and he is drilled inside nothing there and Anthony Johnson comes 38 yd line of Green Bay you can see how contagious it is when a guy makes a big play makes a tackle for a loss everybody wants to get in there everybody wants to do the same thing Anthony Johnson Jr Tyron Hopper Christian Welch they're all out there fighting for their professional lives right now their careers and it's a good it's a good thing to see it's a good thing to see these guys playing this hard it's third down and they need the Green Bay 39 Josh Johnson good time throw caught right across the middle tyon Wallace a foot race Anderson tries to knock him out hit the pylon touchdown What A Catch and run with the veteran Tylan Wallace a 48 yd catch and run on Third and nine for the Ravens to tie the game at six yeah and Wallace just broke free across the middle looked like kin King potentially was supposed to Trail him there it's hard to tell here on that replay exactly what happened but just about any receiver when they catch the ball that wide open and it turns into a Sprint that's going to be trouble for any defense L Vette now the extra point coming up from Justin Tucker Tucker point [Music] [Applause] that gives the Ravens a 7 to6 lead C [Music] Menards Ravens on that last Drive picked up 62 yds and a 48 yd catch and run by Wallace for six so now the kickoff will come from Justus Tucker and deep back for Green Bay Duos along with Wilson it'll be Wilson at the one for Green Bay with the new pick off between the 20 and there's a flag Throne as he is banged on the play by yandi rri a rookie from Temple and a gain of 29 on the kickoff return by Emanuel Wilson illegal formation number 45 from the kicking team who left early five yards will be added to the end of the play first down we're going to continue to see I think a lot of this John through the first half of the Season as teams get ready for the new kickoff rule yeah and let's take a look at what happened here on the touchdown you're going to see an umbrella defense here by the Green Bay Packers something very simple just a three deep but you see how the inside receiver runs the safeties deep that that that second level there they they what it's called it's bite the cheese you can't bite the cheese on the short receiver you got to keep getting your depth and undercut that deep di bite the cheese first down and 10 Grant Mayweather and then drilled on the play and hit by Malik Harrison here's a third round pick out of Ohio State five years ago gain of two up to the 38 bite the cheese don't bite the cheese don't bite the cheese what if what if you do bite the cheese and it's a cheese curve well it could be very good could or you could get SN there we go cheese hats on display second down an eight Michael Pratt out of two lane is the rookie quarterback hand off Merryweather getting a block in there for Pearson and bulldozing his way close to a first down to the Green Bay 44 gain of seven and it's third and one Pearson with the block Merryweather with the Run Yeah you mentioned it Kevin a little bit of a counter on the backside there you saw good kick out block out of Royce Newman a good pickup block out of Henry Pearson and sets up a very manageable third down and Matt leflour again not playing his starters they played him in Cleveland when they won 2310 losing last week the Packers did in Denver 27-2 down by one right here Pratt on Third and one he goes outside to Wilson look at the r banged in the secondary as he took it down the sideline s Kane makes the hit the rookie out of perland make it out of Purdue it's a catch and run of 20 and a first down for Green Bay and it's a this is a staple short yardage goal line play Sprint the back out scat release get him out into the flat try to open things up if you can hit him early good that's exactly what Michael Pratt did now Ben sermons I know is going to say to Emanuel Wilson you get on that sideline you got to be physical on the boundaries get your pads down a little bit lower especially you're going to try and take on two defend Wilson is looked good first and 10 gets the call PR and he squs three and he wiggles his way to a first down to the 24 yd line of Baltimore it's a hard earned gain of 12 he has looked good on the ground had a 12yd run earlier in the [Music] game just finds the smallest of creases right there does Wilson and does a good job of not losing speed when he hits that line of scrimmage a lot of guys can get in there and Pitter pat their feet he keeps them going forward pass the wash gets past the flow and able to make a big game last week there was nothing that really raised your eyebrows or opened your mouth with the running attack for Green Bay today it is completely different first and 10 once again Wilson as he quk screws inside the 20 brought down by Ravenel a rookie out of Missouri Western State with a gain of five right there now Dylan we think is the number two but there's a lot of possibilities with that second running back yeah and and Dylan has a reoccurring injury that he had late last season a stinger that kept them out three games last year three weeks will put you right up to that Philadelphia kickoff game Emanuel Wilson is sitting here and Adam stenov says he's done everything we liked of him to do he's gotten better in his pass Pro he's getting better knowing the overall scheme of the offense so continuing to go out here and put good plays on film that's important Wilson here again second down five and wrapped up by Trenton Simpson out of Clemson it is a gain of a yard and down to the 18 yd line so Wilson continuing to run and we talked about how he was on this team last year dislocated his shoulder he missed the final seven games of the regular season you mentioned this after a very strong camp to start off his NFL career very strong Camp had that 80 yard touchdown at Cincinnati where he just left everybody in his wake and he shows that burst to be able to not just make a play but make a play bigger than what it's blocked up for G weather the back third down and four looking into five defensive backs timeout taken by Matt LEF timeout Green Bay a 32nd timeout that wants to talk it over Pratt has looked good and the two running backs Mayweather and Wilson have really starred in this first half yeah both of them and and they both know what's sitting out in front of them not just the possibility to be dressing down in Brazil and play against the Eagles but you know when you talk about Merryweather you you can find yourself on this team for game day you can find yourself on the practice squad for game day it's just finding a way to when an opportunity comes you can take it John you had mentioned this in Cleveland saw it last week in Denver this has been a very healthy training camp for the Packers no long-term injuries and they've got a new strength and conditioning coach yeah Aaron Hill and and he's done a good job of coming in here creating a new process for the for the guys and Mal Flor said he he noticed his team being able to practice harder practice longer because of the time commitment that they put in in the offseason program third down four aweather is the B rookie quarterback Pratt locked by Caleb Jones will tackle in the end zone C touchdown B mton
