They won’t be holding any joint practices with Miami this week but previous weeks had seen several training camp fights to help set the mood.

Namely, their former Super Bowl Most Valuable Player, Flacco, at quarterback, according to head coach John Harbaugh. Lamar Jackson, after some impressive highlights against the Bears in the Hall of Fame Game and against the Los Angeles Rams two weeks ago, has since slowed down, looking like the project rookie he was primarily drafted to be. Through three games, Jackson is X, and is likely third on the depth chart behind Robert Griffin III, who has looked impressive himself this preseason, enough to possibly warrant future starting consideration again. The Ravens’ receiving core is significantly better than it was last season, which is aiding Flacco – who reportedly is having his strongest camp in a long time. Wide receivers Michael Crabtree and John Brown have each had strong training camps, and are likely the best one-two combination on the outside Flacco has had to work with since Anquan Boldin and Torrey Smith, now an astonishing six years removed since Baltimore won Super Bowl 47 against the San Francisco 49ers. Miami continues trying to find the right players and fit for an offense that has a blend of younger and older faces, which it didn’t have a year ago. Head coach Adam Gase is prone to tinkering and adjusting on the fly, and that may be what he needs to do this season to get the most out of his unit. Kenyan Drake ran away with the starting running back job over the course of the second half of last season, and is entrenched as the team’s starter. Behind him.<doc-sep>The Miami Dolphins reach the ever-important third preseason game of the year tonight, a game that will serve as the dress rehearsal for the regular season. This year, the Dolphins will play this game at home against a team who has won eight of the last ten contests (including the playoffs) between the two clubs: the Baltimore Ravens. The game should give the Dolphins, and Dolphins fans, a better idea of what Miami will look like when the regular season starts in a couple off weeks. The Dolphins are currently 0-2 in the preseason, having lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Carolina Panthers, but they really have not shown much of their offense or defense yet this year. The team is purposely holding back on some of the play calling they would use in the regular season, just to ensure they are not putting too much on film. Some of that could change tonight as the team is expected to actually game plan and prepare for this game as if it were a regular season contest. It may still be a diminished version of the actual play calling, but it should be closer to the real thing than we have seen thus far. Join fellow Dolphins fans in a live chat about the game here.

The Ravens are electing to hold out many of their starters, so it is Robert Griffin III starting at quarterback. Robert Quinn gets to RG3 early for a sack, but of course it is negated by a Davon Godchaux hands to the face penalty, giving Baltimore a first down. The Dolphins defense, however, was able to bounce back. T.J. McDonald came in on a nice pass break up on tight end Mark Andrews, keeping the Ravens from picking up a nice gain on first down. After a seven yard pick up, Griffin looked deep for Breshad Perriman, but rookie safety Minkah Fitzpatrick was in his pocket and the ball was incomplete on third down. Justin Tucker then missed the 51-yard field goal, and Miami took over at their own 33 yard line. Miami did nothing with the ball on their first possession, with Ryan Tannehill being sacked on the opening play after dropping the wet ball and diving to get it back. Frank Gore made his Miami debut on second down, but lost two yards. A one-yard pass from Tannehill to Gore on 3rd-and-19 led to a Miami punt. Miami’s defense came to play on the next drive, however, with Jordan Phillips and Minkah Fitzpatrick getting after it. Phillips recorded a sack on the first play, then blew up the screen pass on second down, with Fitzpatrick coming up for the tackle. Then Fitzpatrick stopped the Ravens on third down with a nice one-on-one tackle, forcing a three-and-out punt. On first down after the punt, Tannehill found Kenny Stills for nine yards, with Kenyan Drake then picking up the first down on a two yard run up the middle. Tannehill then connected with Albert Wilson for a six-yard gain. The Dolphins gave it back on third-down, however, as Tannehill was sacked for a seven-yard loss. Miami punted. An unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on Rashawn Scott for running out of bounds gave the Ravens a 15-yard gain, starting at their own 39 yard line, despite the Ravens forcing Scott out of bounds, then not letting him back in bounds. On first down, the Ravens picks dup just one yard, but then Griffin scrambled his way for a 20-yard gain.<doc-sep>
It's the Baltimore Ravens vs. Miami Dolphins in NFL preseason week 3 action Saturday night at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. (See Ravens vs. Dolphins time, local TV channels and live stream information below.) This is a tale of two teams in the 2018 preseason – the Ravens have won all three games they have played, while the Dolphins have lost both they have played. For Miami, it's no wonder – their first team offense hasn't scored a touchdown in either game. But Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill and company will get a chance to prove themselves Saturday night in Miami against the Ravens, since the starters are expected to play all the first half and perhaps into the third quarter. Dolphins coach Adam Gase looks forward to playing the Ravens, a team that throttled the Dolphins 40-7 last regular season. "I love playing Baltimore. I think it's always a great challenge for us," Gase said, according to the Sun-Sentinel. "Coach Harbaugh has obviously done a great job there. "Their attitude is one of those attitudes that we're striving to get to (because) they're tough, physical, smart, do things right and (are) competitive every week. That's why I love playing those guys." Meanwhile, the Ravens are predicted to struggle in 2018 and finish 7-9, according to USA Today. "They've been stuck on average for a while," USA Today said. "Fires have been lit under Joe Flacco and John Harbaugh, but can this team generate enough heat to successfully navigate a lineup fraught with tough opponents from the AFC West and NFC South?"
