Member » Patrick Ricard has seen time at fullback and def

ensive tackle for the Ravens this season Stitched Tyus Bowser Jersey , but he won’t play any snaps against the Chiefs on Sunday because he’s on the inactive list.Ricard will likely still be sought out by reporters after the game, however. Tweets he posted in 2011 and 2012 featuring the N-word surfaced this weekend. Ricard was in high school at the time and the Ravens issued a statement before Sunday’s game saying that Ricard is likely to address them later in the day.“The tweets are totally unacceptable, and we have addressed the matter with Pat. We expect he’ll have something to say later today after the game.”Ricard is a healthy scratch for the second straight week. He’s played 96 offensive snaps Youth Tyus Bowser Jersey , 47 defensive snaps and 45 on special teams this season. Word of the three-year deal between the Ravens and tight end Nick Boyle leaked out before Thursday morning’s press conference officially announcing the pact and Ravens head coach John Harbaugh offered a simple explanation for the team’s interest in Boyle.Harbaugh said that Boyle is the “best blocking tight end in the league” and having that kind of player as part of the running game is an important part of the offensive puzzle that the team is building around quarterback Lamar Jackson.“Nick is a huge piece of our offense going forward from the standpoint of how he plays, the tone he sets, the type of player he is Stitched Marlon Humphrey Jersey ,” Harbaugh said.Focusing on a tight end’s blocking prowess is a bit unusual in the current NFL and the reported $18 million payout might strike some as a lot for a player with 75 catches, 613 yards and zero touchdowns. Boyle didn’t do much other than shrug in response to those who might feel that way.“That’s a huge thing, like ‘Oh Youth Marlon Humphrey Jersey , paying this guy a lot, and he didn’t get a touchdown.’ Whatever they want to say, they can say. It’s not hurting my feelings Stitched Jaleel Scott Jersey ,” Boyle said. “I have a lot of pride in what I do. Whether it’s catching a pass or having a really key block on a certain play, I think I get the same satisfaction out of it.”Boyle will join 2018 draft picks Mark Andrews and Hayden Hurst at tight end and the Ravens will likely turn their focus to other positions with that one well squared away for the time being.
