Another sloppy win and lingering concerns for Lamar muddy the week ahead

Any win is a good one but the Baltimore Ravens needed to survive an onside kick late after another defensive meltdown in a game that Lamar Jackson left early with an ankle problem and a limp. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the concerns after a too-narrow-for-confidence 24-18 win over the lowly Tennessee Titans.

The new center of attention as Ravens scramble to find an offensive line

Sure, the Baltimore Ravens should whip the hapless Tennessee Titans at home on Sunday but as Luke Jones and Nestor point out, finding a real and effective offensive line combination must be at the front of concerns as Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry and Zay Flowers look to produce points in the coming weeks. It’s less than ideal. Just ask Eric DeCosta…

Luke Jones and Nestor discuss Orioles end of season press conference with Elias and future of franchise

Luke Jones and Nestor discuss NFL in Week 3 and prepare for Titans as Ravens try to get O line settled

While all four teams in the AFC ended Week 3 with a 2-1 mark, we’re not so sure that the surge of the Browns and resolve of the Steelers will stand the test of time or the standings. But, for now, the Ravens certainly haven’t looked the part of the dominant outfit we expected a month ago. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the center of the purple concerns on the offensive line and prepare for Titans on Sunday in Baltimore.
