The RSR Staff chips in with their individual thoughts on the 2019 preseason finale in Landover, MD, as the Ravens beat Redskins 20-7, stretching their preseason win streak to 17 games.
This has been the most excruciating slate of preseason games since the Ravens were founded in 1996. The value of these games is shifting with seemingly a greater emphasis on the results of practice and joint scrimmages with participating teams. More and more key players are relegated to sideline observers. And the WBAL broadcast is really pretty bad.
That said, with a heavy reliance upon reserves, coaches have been given more of an opportunity to build rosters from the bottom up – evaluate the bottom end of the roster and seek to build quality depth.
