-It was the Josh Hill and Orson Charles show with both having some very nice plays during the game.

Hill was another player I mentioned as needing a strong preseason to stay afloat and he responded with three receptions for 40 yards which lead in the receiving category.

He found a nice hole in the Ravens defense on one play and snagged a 25 yard reception and Charles did the same on another play where he hauled in his sole reception for 24 yards.

Charles seemed to have a leg up heading into the preseason after Hill has been almost nonexistent in training camp so this will be a fun battle to watch.

-As far as negatives go, there weren’t really many that came to mind except after Charles’ grab he had to exit the game after either having the wind knocked out of him on the tackle or he was just plain winded, which if that’s the case his conditioning needs some work.

-Benjamin Watson was in on 14 snaps last night with half of those being involved in a pass situation.

He failed to get one single target during that time and while that’s not a knock on him, it’s just surprising after the great camp he’s had.
