Check out this pic from the joint practice, looks like Lamar has a Ravens security guy running with him during his bike tour.
Kinda crazy to need muscle at this event... in case a couple of kids get out of control ?

Ahhh...Maybe its the Mom's they're afraid of

I heard he lost control of the bike doing hi fives along the way, but recovered before taking a spill.

Sounds like something made up but it's not. Maybe that security guard knows you can't trust him with toys.

Nice observation by Tom Silverstein, from his game-day blog today:

Tom, which rookie has impressed you the most this pre-season?
Tom_Silverstein:  Probably Evan Williams. Bullard, too. Williams has made so many plays. Not normal for a rookie. Bullard is going to be interesting. He's tough as nails and competitive as all get out. He's a football players' football player and will add some serious toughness to their secondary.

As I began watching the game vs the Ravens Saturday, I was cursing what preseason has become. Anybody remember the days when the starters played 3 quarters of the last PS game?
I don't advocate for that, although I'd like to see them play for a couple of series or 1 quarter, but that's another subject for discussion.

In any case, as the Ravens game went on, I started liking this new 'format'. Getting extended looks at the young guys, FAs, and others offers these guys a much better evaluation as they would get playing only a quarter or less.

The teams clearly get a lot out of the joint practices. Ravens didn't play their starters either.....and the Ravens win the pre-season games a LOT! Packers punched the bully. The Packers players said we're not letting them come in here and bully us. It was a nice response to the no show we witnessed in Denver. Good warmup for the 1st game vs. Eagles

I remember a 4 game preseason where starters played a series in the 1st game, a quarter in the 2nd game and a half in the 3rd game. I don't think we'll be sharp in Brazil.

If that is the determining factor, the Eagles have not played any starters in any preseason games!  They should be rusty as a corroded nail!

The joint practices have taken the place of starters in preseason games.

The coaches like it better because the scrimmages are highly controlled and you don't have the added risk of a 5th string LB trying to make the squad by hitting at the wrong time/place and with too much fervor.
