Blood in the Water

Just a few days ago, Ravens left tackle Ronnie Stanley was in a walking boot. He did not practice at all this week and is listed as doubtful to play. James Hurst, who has has been practicing with the first-team offense throughout the week, would start in his place.

Hurst who has started 15 games, including the playoffs, during his three-year career. He is best known in Baltimore as the man who got pushed back into Joe Flacco last season. The result of that was season-ending knee injury for their franchise quarterback.

But Stanley, who never missed a game in college, is a proud warrior that doesn’t mind playing with pain. He missed one day of practice last week with a foot injury, but still suited up in Jacksonville. So his doubtful status on the injury report isn’t worth much.

But Mack either gets a gimpy rookie or a guy that got his quarterback injured, getting bulled back into him. Last time Mack faced a team with injuries to the offensive line, (Denver Broncos) he had five sacks. So you know he smells the blood in the water now.
