FOXBORO Following their at Gillette Stadium, the New England Patriots continue to take stock into their performance on both sides of the ball.Heading into a week in which the Pats will participate in joint practices with the Las Vegas Raiders (culminating with their preseason matchup at Allegiant Stadium on Fri. Aug. 26), there are plenty of areas in which they will seek improvement. While game-film analysis will be the main focus, a look at playing time may a sist the Pats in helping devise effective strategies moving forward.Here is a look at the Patriots defensive snap counts, along with some po sible insight on New Englands future game-planning.On defense, the Mark Ingram II Jersey Pats overall snap count was 61 against the Panthers.The Pats left little doubt regarding the identity of their core four in the defensive front. Linemen Christian Barmore, Davon Godchaux, Lawrence Guy and Deatrich Wise Jr. dominated the early snaps with the starting unit, as each should be safe bets to make the opening day roster. Scroll to ContinueThe more hotly-contested positional battles along the front seven are Kwon Alexander Jersey being waged among the reserves. Surprisingly, rookie Sam Roberts led all defensive linemen, taking 27 snaps on Friday night. Not only did the sixth-rounder out of Northwest Mi souri State log plenty of playing time (for a preseason game, that is), he also made the most of his time on the field. Roberts contributed a three-yard tackle for lo s, as well as a fumble recovery for a touchdown. His increased usage throughout the past two games could be an indication of his factoring into the Pats plans at the position in 2022. Fellow reserve defensive linemen Daniel Ekuale, Henry Anderson, Jeremiah Pharms and Carl Davis each played on at least 20 percent of the teams defensive snaps. It will be interesting to note which of the four sees significant time on the field during joint practices this week with the Las Vegas Raiders. Conversely, seeing any of the aforementioned players playing deep into Fridays preseason finale may signify their unsettled spot on the roster bubble. Linebacker Andrus Peat Jersey Anfernee Jennings led his positional grouping, logging 28 defensive snaps. The Alabama product got the start on Friday opposite Matthew Judon on the outside. However, Jennings continues to stand out among his competition. His ability to win his battles with blockers, as well as set the edge, make him a strong presence. Though Jahlani Tavai started alongside JaWhaun Bentley at inside linebacker, Raekwon McMillian led all inside linebackers on the night by playing on 27 defensive snaps. At safety, the Patriots gave the starting nod to the familiar trio of Devin McCourty, Adrian Phillips and Kyle Dugger. As such, New England should be expected to field one of the NFLs top triumvirates at the position . With newcomer Jabrill Peppers out of the lineup, Joshuah Bledsoe continued to make his mark, logging 25 defensive snaps, earning two tackles and one forced fumble, which he also recovered. Following the season-ending lo ses of Joejuan Williams and Malcom Butler to injuries, the Pats cornerback group has thinned a bit. However, the has looked quite effective, to date. Myles Bryant led the way in the slot by taking 27 snaps, winning the count battle against rookie corner Marcus Jones. Based on their usage on Friday, as well as during joint practices with the Panthers suggests that both Bryant and Jones figure prominently into the Pats defensive backfield in the upcoming season. Despite seeing the field for only five defensive snaps, led all Pats special teamers taking 18 snaps in the kicking game. The University of Texas product continues to make a strong case for earning a roster spot. On Friday, Schooler logged a special teams tackle and downed a punt. He also helped to secure the Patriots victory with an interception late in the fourth period. Fellow undrafted rookie, defensive end DaMarcus Mitchell, also aligned for 17 special teams snaps, notably getting some run with New Englands starting Jalen Dalton Jersey unit.

OWINGS MILLS, Md. Even though the Ravens finalized their final 53-man roster, more changes could be on the way.The decision to cutDaelinHayes, a fifth-round pick in 2021, left the Ravens shorthanded atSAM outside linebacker.Odafe Oweh and Justin Houston are the only two outside linebackers on the final roster, a situation that will have to change Dax Milne Jersey for depth. GM Eric DeCosta could be scanning the waiver for help or the team could bring backSteven Means or undrafted rookies Jeremiah Moon and Chuck Wiley if they create room.Baltimore will likelyplace rookies David Ojabo and Charlie Kolar on injured reserve, which will create two roster spots.Running back Tyler Badie, a rookie sixth-round pick, was also waived. He could be added to the practice squad if no other team claims him. The Ravens will use Badie’s spot for Kenyan Washington Commanders Accessories Drake, who is reportedly in Baltimore and ready to sign a deal after being cut by the Raiders.Scroll to ContinueThe Ravens surprisingly carried five tight ends Mark Andrews, Nick Boyle, Isaiah Likely, Josh Oliver andKolar, who is sidelined with a hernia. Andrews and Ryan Fitzpatrick Jersey Likely are the key pa s catches, while Boyle and Oliver are used to help block; although Oliver has solid hands too. The Ravens need the depth with Kolar headed to IR and uncertainly surrounding Boyle, who mi sed parts of the past two seasons with a devastating leg injury. The Ravens probably liked Carson Wentz T Shirts to ease Boyle into the lineup, hence the addition of Oliver.While safety Tony Jefferson and cornerback Kevon Seymour didn’t make the team, don’t rule out their return. As vested veterans, they are not subject to waivers.Seymour, who can also play special teams, injured his ankle injury in the final preseason game and would not have been ready to play Week 1 anyway. Jefferson knows the system and will be waiting in case there is an injury.

OWINGS MILLS, Md. Dick Ca s had a widely succe sful tenure as the Ravens president, highlighted by a victory in Super BowlXLVII.Now, the time has come for Ca s to step aside and let Sashi Brown take over that role.”What I think about is over the 18 years, how this organization has grown; how weve grown in the sense that the community really looks to us as Cethan Carter Jersey a source of pride, and I think weve become more and more deeply embedded in the community,” Ca s said. “Weve only been here a little over 25 years, and I think it takes a long time for a profe sional team to become really part of the community in the way we have.”Im really proud of the way we have really developed into an organization that people look to with a lot of pride. I think thats important in Baltimore, its important in any NFL city, but I think were doing a good job with that, and we just have to keep it going.When Steve Bisciotti became the team’s majority owner in 2004, his first hire was naming Ca s as president John Jenkins Jersey . For the nearly two decades since, Ca s has provided the franchise with busine s knowledge, legal and negotiating expertise and philanthropic principles.Under his direction, Ca s helped create the organizational culture for which the Ravens are known today. Most recently, he led the organization through challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic and worked at the forefront of the team’s social justice reform efforts, engaging local and federal legislators to enact policy change. With roots deeply entrenched throughout the Baltimore community,Scroll to ContinueCa s has overseen countle s initiatives with the goal of creating better opportunities and circumstances for those most in need. An impactful presence on the board of the Ravens Foundation, Inc., Ca s has also served on boards for the Greater Baltimore Committee, Kennedy Krieger Institute and Baltimore Community Foundation.Ca s has spearheaded multiple M&T Bank Jaelan Phillips Jersey Stadium improvement/enhancement projects, reaching investment levels over $200 million. Through these efforts, the Ravens have consistently ranked among the NFL’s best in gameday experience, as recognized by the annual Voice of the Fan survey.Ca s also led the construction and subsequent expansion, at a total cost of more than $90 million, of the Ravens’ Under Armour Performance Center, which continues as one of the NFL’s best office and practice facilities. Since his 2004 Baltimore arrival, Ca s has helped guide Ravens teams that have won five AFC North titles, clinched 10 postseason berths, appeared in three AFC Championship games and won one Super Bowl (XLVII in 2012). During his tenure, Baltimore has produced the NFL’s fifth-best overall winning percentage (.586), including the league’s third-best mark at home (.713).What advice does he have for Brown?Ive given him the same advice that Steve Bisciotti gave to me: your first job is to get everyone to like you,” Ca s said. “Your job is so much easier if you Myles Gaskin Jersey earn their respect, and you cant earn their respect and you cant get them to like you by giving them more money, either. You have to do it the hard way. You have to work at it, get to know everybody and spend some time getting to know people.”Itll be much more challenging for Sashi because were such a larger organization than we were in 2004, when I first started. But I think thats very important, and thats actually the advice Steve gave him already.
