  • Harbaugh Ends Guard Rotation | Ravens vs Bengals

    In today's episode of The Flock Rundown, we break down Wednesday's injury report as Baltimore prepares for a must-win matchup against the Bengals. Lamar Jackson was held out for a scheduled rest day as the team manages his health for the stretch run, while Keaton Mitchell returned to practice and says he fully expects to play Sunday. Tavius Robinson also spoke on his mindset after missing time, saying he'll "never take another snap for granted."

    We also cover Baltimore's unexpected roster moves — signing veteran guard Laken Tomlinson and releasing Carl Lawson — and what that says about the team's confidence in the current offensive line room. John Harbaugh addressed Tomlinson's readiness and revealed a big change up front: the Ravens are done rotating at left guard. Emery Jones Jr. now knows exactly where he stands.

    Plus, we react to Kyle Hamilton's belief that the Ravens are still very much alive in the playoff race and why he says a postseason run would be "one heck of a story."

    And finally, we talk about Jeremy Fowler's report linking the Ravens to a future move that would turn heads — George Pickens in Baltimore. Realistic? Crazy? Or exactly the kind of swing this team needs?

    All that and more on The Flock Rundown.

  • NFL Admits Mistake in Ravens–Steelers Game | Keaton Mitchell Update & O-Line Talk

    In this episode of The Flock Rundown, we break down the NFL privately admitting to John Harbaugh that a critical call was blown in the Ravens–Steelers game — and what that means for Baltimore moving forward.

    We also react to good news on Keaton Mitchell, whose knee injury is not expected to cost him any time, and dive into what's really going on with the Ravens' messy guard situation. Why didn't Emery Jones Jr. get a single snap? And why is Harbaugh still defending the offensive line when the film tells a very different story?

    Plus, we talk about why DeAndre Hopkins needs to be a bigger part of the offense, where the Ravens stand in the AFC playoff race, and what has to change immediately if this team is serious about making a run.

  • Ravens vs Steelers: A Brutal Loss & Playoff Reality Check

    Ravens lose to Steelers in a crushing AFC North showdown that drops Baltimore to 6–7 and seriously threatens their playoff hopes. With just four games left in the regular season, we take an honest look at where this team stands and whether there's still a realistic path to the playoffs or if the season is quietly slipping away.

    We dive deep into the biggest moments from the game, including questionable coaching decisions, controversial calls, and missed opportunities that once again cost the Ravens in a critical matchup. We also go through the full box score, key stats, and standout performances (both good and bad), while identifying the patterns that continue to show up in losses like this.

    Most importantly, we ask the real questions Ravens fans are thinking:
    Can this team turn it around in time?
    What has to change immediately?
    And who deserves the blame for another painful loss in a must-win spot?

    If you're a Ravens fan trying to make sense of what just happened — this episode is for you.

  • Lamar Misses Practice, Andrews Extension & Ravens-Steelers

    In this episode of The Flock Rundown, we break down Thursday's official Ravens injury report, including Lamar Jackson and Travis Jones both missing practice. Lamar continues to deal with an ankle issue, but offensive coordinator Todd Monken says he fully expects him to suit up on Sunday and praised Lamar for fighting through injuries all season long.

    We also react to Mark Andrews officially signing his new three-year extension, including how the deal came together over the past two weeks and what it could mean long-term for Isaiah Likely's future in Baltimore.

    Plus, we highlight Derrick Henry being named the Ravens' Walter Payton Man of the Year nominee, and discuss why Sunday vs the Steelers isn't just another rivalry game — the Ravens will be honoring Super Bowl legends at M&T Bank Stadium with the AFC North lead on the line.

  • Mark Andrews Extended: What It Means for the Ravens' Future

    In this episode of The Flock Rundown, we break down the shocking news that the Baltimore Ravens have locked up Mark Andrews with a new three-year contract extension — and why this move matters more than most people realize.

    We dive into what this extension says about the Ravens' long-term plan at tight end, how it impacts the futures of Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar, and whether Baltimore just made a franchise-defining decision or set up a tough roster crunch down the line. Is Andrews still the clear centerpiece of the offense? Did the Ravens just signal what's coming next for Likely? And does this extension help or hurt the team's cap flexibility moving forward?

    We also dig into the contract value, timing, and strategy behind the deal — and give our honest take on whether this was the right move right now or a gamble that could reshape the offense for years. If you're a Ravens fan, you won't want to miss this breakdown of one of the biggest roster decisions of the season.

  • Ravens Get Key Players Back Before Steelers Showdown

    In this episode of The Flock Rundown, we break down a massive Wednesday for the Baltimore Ravens as the team logged perfect practice attendance ahead of their Week matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Lamar Jackson, Nate Wiggins, Tavius Robinson, and Ar'Darius Washington were all on the field — and John Harbaugh says there's a real chance several key players return on Sunday, which could completely change how this game looks.

    We dive into Harbaugh's latest comments on the offensive line, including why Emery Jones Jr. remains locked in at left guard and what the Ravens' interior rotation could look like moving forward. Plus, we analyze recent Steelers roster moves and explain how those decisions might impact both sides of the ball in what's shaping up to be another brutal AFC North showdown.

    Linebacker Roquan Smith also sends a clear message to the locker room about the mentality needed to beat Pittsburgh — and doesn't sugar-coat how physical this rivalry is about to get. We react to his comments and explain why this game could define the Ravens' season more than any other.

  • Ravens Wake-Up Call vs Bengals & the AFC North Showdown Ahead

    In this episode of The Flock Rundown, we break down a brutal, mistake-filled loss to the Bengals on Thanksgiving that may end up being a turning point in the Ravens' season. Five turnovers, offensive inconsistency, and missed opportunities told the story — and we aren't sugarcoating any of it.

    We dive into Lamar Jackson's recent struggles and explain why this doesn't feel like a collapse — but a short slump. I explain why I fully expect Lamar to bounce back and look like himself again, and what signs to watch for to know he's turning the corner.

    We also dig into the offense as a whole — the identity issues, the lack of commitment to the run game, and why Todd Monken's unit hasn't looked as crisp as it should. Plus, we talk about the rotation at left guard with Emery Jones Jr. and discuss why that still doesn't solve the right side of the offensive line. 

    Finally, we turn the page to what feels like a season-defining battle in Pittsburgh. Sunday isn't just another game — it's a division swing, a tone-setter, and potentially the moment that decides the AFC North. I give my prediction, explain why I still believe the Ravens win this matchup, and why I'm confident they can still take the division despite the mess we just watched.

    Plus, we hear from rookie Mike Green on why he's especially fired up to face Joe Burrow under the lights, and from John Harbaugh, who had strong praise for Green, calling him one of the most polished young players the team has had in a long time.
