Chandler Rivers

This would be a great time to get.

Chandler Rivers is not available, and Tampa was hurt.

So I'm trying to think of who else they even had.

They didn't have Elijah Surratt, so they were limited in terms of who they could put in offensively and at cornerback.

Yeah, it wouldn't be at this point yet that the attrition has gotten to the point where it's extremely painful.

But they do have still Bilal Kone coming back from IR, which is one positive thing to look forward to.

And they had Chandler Rivers, who played great during the preseason, might only be a slot corner, but might be a guy that could help them on the outside.

I was interested to see...

I think he had a knee injury.

Chandler Rivers, a bit of a surprise.

The rookie draft pick, he was inactive.

So, you know, depending on a lot of

A lot of Keyon Martin and a lot of, and also Jesse Mender, he was very complimentary of Keyon Martin during the pre-game hit that he had at the stadium with Kyle Yeomans on the team radio network.

So to see Keyon Martin there wasn't necessarily a surprise to to us, because I guess we've seen him make so many splash plays throughout camp, but certainly the fan base.

We're going to see more of Kian Martin, especially if Jesse Minner continues to use this uptick in dime personnel, and you hope Chandler Rivers can get things right in practice, because here's an opportunity again.

You don't know a T.J. Tampa situation.

Q, I'll start again with you.

How do you feel about the DB room if he is to lead? I know they didn't suit up Chandler Rivers, but he's a guy I'm sure they can come in.

But T.J. Tampa, a guy that we were really hoping could come in and take a step forward, maybe out for an extended period perhaps.

Yeah, I am sick to my stomach when I saw that TJ was out.

I think you're right.

He's one of the choices to be inactive, along with the fifth outside linebacker and one of their cornerbacks, whether that's maybe Chandler Rivers could be inactive for some games.

Elijah Surratt, I think, is going to be inactive.

I think we're going to see Andrew Vorey is inactive for some games, but they have some real decisions to make about their inactives.

But yeah, Kian Martin's like one out of those three that, doesn't have a real defined role early on.

Others getting votes, Teddy Buchanan, Keandre Jackson, Aeneas Peebles, Roger Rosengarten, Malachi Starks, Jalen Hawkins, Mike Green, Zion Young, Chandler Rivers, Matt Hibner, and Javon Gwen.

I think that does cover it.

I mean, is there anybody that I just listed off or that you... had in mind of people that you wanted to see on the Jalen Hawkins is an interesting one, because I think that like, I talked about him on lock to Raven said, I think he's going to be one of the most underrated, if not the most underrated Ravens players on this roster.

Could be a tough matchup for Hamilton if they're lined up in big nickel that way.

In the dime package, which will be some of what Josh Downs plays, then you have more traditional slot corners, I'll call them, with Chandler Rivers and Keon Martin.

Both of them are fairly good.

But I think that that matchup on early downs in particular is one of the plain tilters for the Colts.
