    Just a ton of dropped passes for Harper...I watched two series and saw at least 2-3 dropped passes by Harper alone. One through his hands, but there was a penalty, another was just coughed up when he got tackled. He needed to show he could make some catches, hasn't made one yet.

    And now, throw to Harper was picked, though that wasn't his fault.

    Did it look like a bad drop or something that was caused by the tackle?

    Oh yeah if Marcus Smith gets put on IR who is gonna be the 5th receiver and maybe 6th

    I didn't see too much of the game, but from what I did see in the second half, Bramlet didn't actually look that bad. Considering he was just signed one or two games ago, he was much better than I thought he would be.

    My bad, I meant to type days, not games. I know he just got here, that's why I was impressed from what I saw.

    Willis looked better than Harper did, he would make it first.

    Harper would be the 6th if Smith goes on PUP/IR, but they were all catches that needed to be made. The one through his hands was questionable, since the foul was hands to the face, but I think that was before the pass was thrown, so he should've been able to make the catch. The other drop I saw in particular was one you have to hold onto, it wasn't a hard hit, the receiver was just in close coverage and hit him when he made the catch.

    Regardless, it's telling that he only caught one pass in 4 preseason games. Matt Willis had 4 for 28 before today, and 1 for 32 yards today.

    Also, to add on Bramlet, he was signed THIS AFTERNOON. Yeah, so he had maybe 3-4 hours to skim a playbook. Well played, I hope he gets a shot to stick here, though if Boller is done, we want someone who can potentially start

    we just have to wait and see whats happens.... hopefully they will put him on the practice squad and give him some more time to develope.

    i'd agree, I think he should be developed, he looked good in TC and OTA, but like Marcus Smith, had a tough time translating it on the field.

    Some other team could take a flier on him, but I doubt it.

    I was under the impression he was signed on Thursday morning, and played Thusday night. About a 12 hour turn-around. Am I worng on this?

    Re: GAME THREAD - Ravens/Falcons (preseason)

    What I heard from the game commentators was that he signed in the afternoon yesterday, though they said he caught a red-eye flight from San Diego to Baltimore, so that would put him here morning or noon time.

    In any case, going on little sleep, not a lot of time to digest the playbook, didn't look half bad. I fully expected us to be running Cam out on every huddle to draw up what play they wanted to run so Bramlet knew what to do, but he looked like he actually grasped the offense okay. Is it enough for him to stick around? Only if Boller can play again sometime this year. But the guy deserves mad props for looking halfway decent in that kind of circumstances.
