Regeln » When the Ravens selected tight end Hayden Hurst with

the 25th overall pick in the 2018 draft Youth James Hurst Jersey , it was seen by many as a surprising move. Calvin Ridley, the consensus top-ranked receiver, was still on the board and seemed like a logical pick.However, Ozzie Newsome opted to draft Hurst instead and address a clear need at the tight end position. At 6’4, 245 with sure hands and route-running ability, Hurst profiled as an NFL-ready pass-catcher. He was expected to immediately step into a sizeable offensive role and potentially challenge Nick Boyle for the starting tight end spot. Hurst looked solid in preseason action before suffering a foot injury towards the end of August. Upon having surgery to repair a stress fracture, Hurst’s original recovery timeline was three to four weeks, which would have set his season to begin in Week 2 or 3. However, his recovery ultimately took longer, he did not return until Week 5 against the Cleveland Browns. Since taking the field, Hurst has yet to truly break out and produce at the level of a first-round pick. Through five games Stitched Patrick Onwuasor Jersey , Hurst has turned 10 targets into four catches, 57 yards and a touchdown. Given the presence of the three other tight ends on the roster, all of which receive playing time, Hurst has not been asked to play a significant role. He’s seen no more than three targets in any of the five games he’s suited up for. While Hurst was nursing an injury early in the season, Mark Andrews developed into the Ravens best pass-catcher at the position. Andrews has been a consistent weapon in the passing game this season, recording 21 receptions for 244 yards and two touchdowns. Ideally, both rookie tight ends would work in tandem with each other and create a new element for the Ravens offense. Thus far, Andrews has produced but Hurst has yet to get up to speed. While it’s somewhat disappointing that Hurst has not put up better numbers, it’s far too early to hit the panic button. Hurst simply hasn’t had a large workload and other than a late drop against the Saints, he’s yet to make any significant mistakes. Hurst has showcased some nice blocking ability, and he’s seen an uptick in usage recently. Over the past two games combined Youth Patrick Onwuasor Jersey , Hurst has caught three of five targets for 50 yards, which makes up almost his entire production on the season. Although it came in garbage time, Hurst caught his first career touchdown pass against the Panthers. Interestingly enough, it came from Lamar Jackson, not Joe Flacco. Hurst and Jackson hooked up for a touchdown in the first preseason game, as well. Could a quarterback change potentially boost Hurst’s stock? Given the chemistry shown between the two first-round picks, it's certainly possible. Regardless of whose under center, however, Hurst has the potential to build upon his recent increase in production. Hopefully, the Week 10 bye helped Hurst become more acclimated in the offense. As he continues to get more reps and game snaps, Hurst figures to become more comfortable and the game will slow down for him. It’s been a slow start to Hurst’s rookie season. Whether or not he can pick things up over the next several weeks remains to be seen. If he can build some momentum heading into the home stretch White Za’Darius Smith Jersey , it only figures to improve the Ravens offensive outlook.

He flew in from Philadelphia on a one-way ticket so we could enjoy a road trip from Fort Collins, Colorado, to Wilmington, Delaware, so I could attend the Baltimore Ravens Training Camp once again.The trip went smoothly and I arrived at camp without a hitch. In fact, things were going rather well. The weather was nice and I was fully enveloped in football, right where I belong.Things became even better when I was given an opportunity for Baltimore Beatdown’s first big interview. I submitted a few names for request and received a response:Truth be told Za’Darius Smith Jersey 2019 , when I was submitting these names I was a bit confident and excited, thinking, “Oh yeah, I could interview Jerry Rosburg!”All that confidence evaporated after reading the email. My demeanor quickly switched to, “Oh shit, I’m interviewing Coach Rosburg.”I prepared questions and topics of conversation for many hours as I attempted to be unique and creative. I mean, what original questions can you ask a man with over four decades of coaching experience?After finalizing my questions I went to a couple reporters in the media room to ask for a bit of help, specifically how to handle a one-on-one interview and how to steer conversation; all things people should know before being less than 24-hours from said interview.After practice ended the next day, I found the Ravens Director of Public Relations, Patrick Gleason, and waited with the same nervousness I found myself with when first entering the Ravens media room only two years ago. Though it was only a few minutes White Marlon Humphrey Jersey , my mind was racing. After finishing up extra coaching, Rosburg marched over with a huge grin and an outstretched hand.“Hey Kyle, nice to meet you. Hear you got some questions for me.”I fumbled through an answer as I didn’t know what to say first.“Yes, questions. Hey Coach! Thank you. Nice to meet you.”Fantastic start. . .We finish walking up the slight incline to the entrance and stand just inside the doorway. During the walk I reminded myself not to blow it and remind myself that I can, in fact, talk to people and have basic conversation. The only difference is I’ve prepared the topics of conversation beforehand.“Alright Kyle, what have you got for me?”Q&A with Ravens Special Teams Coordinator Jerry Rosburg
