I'd say the Ravens are going to do everything possible to cause him confusion.

I would normally think that this move would help our running game as teams will do what they can to attack the rookie but if it's true that teams are already stopping our run game without even trying (i.e. 8 men in the box) than I think Finley is DEFINITELY going to have his work cut out for him. 

Though, if you think about it, the better Finley does should be multiplied by the crap situation he's in. Meaning if he plays decently, it should be viewed as playing good; if he plays good, it should be viewed as great; etc.

I think the coaching staff wants to evaluate both players and I expect both will get some playing time this year. Between the two I have a hope Jake Dolegala starts the week the Bengals play the PATS and the Bengals walk away with the first win of the season and he has a perfect game. I personally don't have anything against Ryan Finley, I just feel he is so similar to Dalton that if he wins the job the Bengals may end up subpar again and not win a playoff game.

I'm hoping Jake Dolegala is the Bengals Tom Brady, an under the radar player who ends up being a winner.

There's no need to hope. Jake Dolegalg IS the Bengals Tom Brady.

Absolutely disgraceful. I don't care if it's the bye week. There should be absolutely NO REASON to go on vacation DURING THE NFL SEASON. The team is 0-8. Why are you not working as hard as possible at what can be done to fix the team? Vacation. This pisses me off more than the no trade thing. I'd go so far as to say that I think teams should be punished for going on vacation during the regular season.
