What's the deal with Mark andrews' ankle, that ankle surgery?

Because I've heard some, uh, doctors concern that he's not healthy.

I've heard others say that's, that's, that's fine.

He was moving around the same.

So I think there's some level of a concern there.

A team that also wants to run the football and now you have this beast likely as a, as a, those reports saying that they were gonna be the team's number two receiver, um, I mean, whatever, whatever, two A two B with flowers or maybe he's moved ahead of Andrews totally have my permission to have panic here.

I mean, yeah, I mean, it was, uh, discouraging the fact that he has another person playing the same position, seeing so much usage.

I mean, how could you not be a little concerned looking at likely, uh, the way he, you know, he's looked like a star out there?

Yeah, he looks awesome and it was clear at the end of last year it was obvious in the off-season that 12 personnel should be the base of their offense.

No smart organization would look at the complexion of this roster and think, oh, just because for philosophical reasons or schematic reasons.

We gotta have our number three receiver Nelson Aguilar on the field more than our second tight end, Isaiah, likely no smart team would look at it that way.

The Ravens are a smart team.

Week one didn't play out that way.

Ok.

So, um that, that's gonna be the base of their offense.

These two guys are gonna be on the field together on probably 50% of the snaps.

Um, and I wrote about this on, uh Twitter too.

That, that creates some weird stuff with both of these receivers and from a deployment perspective.

I think they have to figure that out.

I've also seen others note that, you know, um, and I've watched film back on this to it.

You can, you can kind of see this too that the Chiefs were scheming away.

Mark Andrews.

Andrews is also coming off a car accident.

So I'm, I'm just, I'm just at some panic with Andrews in the, in the way that I don't think you can view him as a tier one tight end.

You know, it's just Travis Kelsey's a little banged up.

Noah Gray doesn't go off for 100 plus yards and a touchdown and, and become like the player on offense, right.

They mix in other tight ends and things like that, but not to this degree.

So to me, I, I, I'm gonna go with some panic but, um, I also would totally freak.

I'm not, I'm not at Dustin levels of panic about Marc and let's put it that way.

Yeah, I'm good with some panic with Andrews and as someone who was in on Derrick Henry, um, I know matchups will, will improve but boy, you gotta be some panic with this offensive line.

I know it's no surprise and we all expected it but they still somehow create the best, like yards for contact the last four years.

I, I thought that Lamar Jackson and the scheme would overcome that, but boy, that offensive line was not off to a great start in week one.
