    Dionte had 1 catch for 6 yards. Forgot who brought it up, but did Marcus Peter get into Dionte's head? I felt like he got into his head and affected his performance today. I hope Dionte doesn't end up like Antonio Brown - a emotional roller coaster.

    Doubt it.


    Marcus Peters is one heck of a Corner. He and Marlon can lock down just about anyone they go up against. Diontae will rebound soon enough. :)

    If DJ ends up playing like AB did for 7 seasons, I don't have any problem with that.

    DJ is too small and drops far too many catches. He also lacks blazing speed. At best, he should be a third down receiver like Ernie Mills behind Juju, Washington and Claypool.

    I am pretty sure he got hurt again, and came back into the game.

    A real head scratcher.

    Frustrating season for Diontae, his play has been up and down and he is dogged by niggly injuries.

    Ben three two deep passes to him yesterday, not his game IMO. He is more of a short and intermediate route runner. That Ravens secondary is excellent so I would not be too down on him about yesterday but we need more from him going forward.

    Players are not going to have good games every week. Johnson will be fine going forward if he can remain healthy.

    He was in the same place Chase was last week and JuJu was the week before. If they lock down one guy (looks like they had Peters on him pretty much the whole game), Ben just finds someone else to throw to.

    He was hurt plus the Rats played press coverage...DJ is not going to win 1 on 1 off the LOS most of the time... When Defenses play off he can go off he needs free releases to be dangerous.. He needs to keep working on getting off the LOS...

    The media said the Ravens were doubling the WRs at times, DJ was getting frustrated.

    This, agree he was hurt some with his hamstring and looked like he didn't go full out so as not to further hurt it.

    Has there ever been a receiver to beat out any corner and even doubles? Was it Jerry rice, Calvin Johnson?

    I came into this season with extremely high hopes for DJ but he has not delivered at all. Ben has his worst numbers throwing to him. Low completion percentage and low yards per attempt. Add in that he has a bit of a history of fumbling and I would much rather see some of his throws going to Claypool.
