They’re 0-2 and coming off an embarrassing performance against San Diego in which they looked unprepared and overmatched.

“I think that Mike has gone out there and he’s gotten a handful of opportunities”. “We want to keep him juiced up and keep feeding him the ball”.
“What are our calls, first and second down, certain situations, areas of the field, just to see if there are any tendencies we have or if we are giving the other team any tendencies. What is working for us and what is not working for us?” “He feels it. It’s just a matter of whether he feels the strength is there, and the explosion, and everything he needs to go out there and compete”. We had some busts at crucial times on third down where we should have been off the grass and we would have been in good shape in the game. The Browns got off to a 20-2 lead. Veteran Justin Forsett and Terrance West have split time in the backfield and are averaging 3 yards per carry. While it would be easy to just give up on the season after a rough start, the Jaguars locker room still has plenty of fight left in it.
For now, Forsett and West are the primary backs, with Buck Allen inactive the first two games.
That doesn’t sit well with the coaches, the offensive line, or with the running backs. Offensively, Baltimore is putting up only 18 points and 361.5 yards per game.
“We have seen progress”, Harbaugh said.
“They were frustrated and we went out there and we thought we were going to play better than we did and we didn’t play as well”. We do the same thing on defense. We know how well they’ve drafted. The Ravens have been the biggest surprise at 2-0, but the franchise knows how to win.
“We’re not getting a ton of yards right now”, Flacco said.
Jaguars owner Shad Khan and general manager Dave Caldwell have shown great patience with Bradley and the team’s 12-38 record since his hire in 2013.
Wallace’s 66-yard touchdown catch was the difference in Baltimore’s 13-7 Week 1 win over the Buffalo Bills.
Ravens safety Eric Weddle faced the Jaguars in five of the last six seasons as a member of the Chargers. Wallace is already playing a vital role in helping them reach that goal. I understand its the Cleveland Browns, but the Ravens marched a great comeback on the road against a division rival. “Our guys have done nothing but work really hard. He’s better player than he was yesterday and a month ago when he first got here”. In four games against the Jaguars, he has 17 catches for 140 yards and one touchdown.
“I don’t really ever forget that game”, Harbaugh said. “There should be the same number of cameras at every game, and if the network doesn’t have them, the National Football League should put them in there”. Two more losses these next two weeks could doom the effervescent Jaguars coach. That would be the right thing to do.
The Ravens were without left tackle Ronnie Stanley (foot) for practice Wednesday while linebacker Elvis Dumervil (foot) was limited. If Dumervil can play, he will be a boost to the Ravens’ pass rush. Guy also started the past two weeks at defensive end. “I haven’t missed a game all my college career”. He has been solid over the opening two games.

Rookie running back Kenneth Dixon could make an immediate impact when he returns from his knee injury. He injured the knee August 27 in the third preseason game against the Detroit Lions and recovery was expected to take about a month.
