John Eisenberg Reviews A Big Win For The Ravens In The Season Dress Rehearsal
John Eisenberg, a reporter who covers the Ravens and writes a column for the Ravens website, joined Ed and Rob to talk about the Ravens 30-9 win over the Lions back on Saturday night.
Eisenberg started by talking about the injury to Ben Watson on the first play from scrimmage and what is happening to the team at the tight end position saying, "dwindling would be a word to describe it, that's a tough one and Watson... it was really heartfelt and emotional in that locker room...this is a guy who had come in and was already a leader in the locker room, impressive guy and they will miss him on and off the field." As for what happens with that position right now John said, "right now Crockett Gilmore becomes the starter, they have a shot to be okay there."
When asked about how Terrell Suggs performed on Saturday night John said, "attitude wise he was like a rookie, if I'm the Ravens I'm very happy with what I've seen...he is obviously enthusiastic, I think the year off has made him appreciate things more."
John went on to talk about the injury to rookie running back Kenneth Dixon, and how that will effect the team's going forward as we head to the regular season.
