Rams Heading into training camp Authentic Za'Darius Smith Jersey , the Baltimore Ravens knew one of the most contested battles would be at returner as Michael Campanaro signed with the Tennessee Titans in the offseason. Campanaro was a dynamic returner, but his biggest weakness was his durability. Throughout his entire career in Baltimore, he struggled to stay on the field up until last season. During training camp last year, undrafted free agent Tim White exploded onto the scene. He was giving Campanaro a run for his money, but he suffered a season-ending thumb injury, which led to Campanaro safely securing the team’s starting returner job.With Campanaro gone, White was considered the favorite to win the job this season, but undrafted free agent Janarion Grant has shocked the masses with his return abilities this year. The Ravens will host the Los Angeles Rams in Week one of the preseason on Thursday night. Unlike the Hall of Fame Game, the bubble players will get fewer chances against the Rams as some of Baltimore’s starters will play close to a quarter. However Youth Maurice Canady Jersey , Grant will get a golden opportunity to make a statement on Thursday night. With White likely sitting out, Grant will get an extended look as a returner. Thus far, the returner competition has been a tightly contested battle between White and Grant. Although White is winning as of right now, the tide could change after this game. Grant was a well-accomplished returner at Rutgers, but he failed to make much of an impact as a receiver. In college, he recorded eight total return touchdowns, while he only posted 99 receptions for 1,062 yards and two touchdowns in 46 career games. Grant also added 344 rushing yards for four touchdowns as well.During training camp, he has displayed how agile and elusive of a returner he can be. With Tim White missing the entire week of practice http://www.ravensauthorizedshops.com/authentic-mark-andrews-jersey , Grant’s reps as a returner have increased. The only memorable negative play he had this week was when he taunted a Rams player after a successful return. In the Hall of Fame Game, Grant only returned two kickoffs for 25 yards, while he also returned one punt for a negative yard. He made a critical mistake on that punt return, in which he attempted to cut back and switch fields. The Ravens have a 14-year streak of an undrafted free agent making the roster, and many are questioning if that streak will be snapped this season due to Baltimore’s depth along the roster. However, Grant could be the player to keep the streak alive. With most of the attention on early-round busts like Kamalei Correa, Breshad Perriman and Bronson Kaufusi, Grant could quietly steal the show and start his climb to the 53-man roster. The Ravens head to Cleveland this week to face a young, up-and-coming Browns roster. Baltimore Beatdown contributors detail bold predictions for the contest.Sage’s predictions:Baker Mayfield and Joe Flacco will both throw interceptions. Both quarterbacks have thrown two picks in 2018; however James Hurst Jersey , it is worth noting Mayfield has played in two games to Flacco’s four starts. Still, both signal callers are matched up against ball hawking secondaries. Look for Cleveland’s Denzel Ward to cause a turnover or for Baltimore’s Brandon Carr to kill one of Mayfield’s drives. The Ravens will deliver an improved rushing performance.Baltimore’s stagnant run game has been a blemish on the first quarter of the season. In Week 5, they will encounter their worst run defense to-date, as the Browns rank 23rd in the NFL. While they have yet to eclipse 100 rushing yards since their Week 1 blowout of the Bills, Cleveland allowed Marshawn Lynch to rush for 139 yards (a 6.5 yard average) in their Week 4 loss.Vasilis’ predictions:Joe Flacco will throw for more than 350 yards.Last year in Cleveland, Flacco’s 288 passing yards was his highest total of the season. Baltimore’s runners are unlikely to find success behind their blockers against the Browns stout front, so #5 will once again be asked to carry the load. With the assistance of Marty Mornhinweg and Willie Snead, he will be up to the challenge. Kenny Young will lead the Ravens in tackles.Young received only 24 snaps last week against Pittsburgh’s pass first offense. He will play nearly every defensive snap this week, as Cleveland leads the NFL in rushing attempts this season. The Browns elite interior offensive linemen trio will focus on blocking Brandon Williams Authentic Marlon Humphrey Jersey , Michael Pierce and C.J. Mosley, allowing Young to roam free and rack up the tackles.Dustin’s predictions:Baker Mayfield will commit three turnovers.After committing four turnovers in a 45-42 loss to the Oakland Raiders, things will not be any easier against Baltimore for the rookie quarterback in his second start. Mayfield has yet to face a top defense like the Ravens, which is ranked second in total defense, fourth in passing and fourth in rushing yards per game. Baltimore’s elite secondary will get the better of Mayfield and force him into several turnovers, and Terrell Suggs will get his signature strip sack.Myles Garrett will be a non-factor. The Ravens did an excellent job of game-planning for and containing elite pass rusher Von Miller in Week 3 against the Denver Broncos. Offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg will put together another nice game plan, rendering Garrett useless with chip blocks and double teams. Just like Miller, Garrett will not record a single sack.
