If you followed the Eagles bloggers, you would think the Eagles dominated the Ravens yesterday in scrimmages. But there were some unbiased observers there who painted a picture that invites optimism- a Ravens receiving group who more than held their own against a solid Eagles secondary.
For those of you who do not have the patience to dig through twitter, here is the updates on our receivers:
Kamar Aiken just got Byron Maxwell at the line and caught a dig route.

Nice double move by Kamar Aiken vs Randall Evans. Turned him completely around before making the catch on the sideline.

Eric Rowe punched another out of Nick Boyle's hands. Boyle was already in the end zone after catching the slant.

Eagles defense continues to struggle w/ Campanaro. He's working inside & outside on choice routes. Subtle move inside go our and vice versa

Steve Smith caught a crossing route, collided with Chris Maragos and spun the ball.

Juszczyk showing his receiving ability. Absorbed hit and held onto the ball for a TD.

Jermey Butler with nice over the middle. Stopped and turned back outside as Eric Rowe ran by him.
— TURRON DAVENPORT (@TDavenport_NFL) August 20, 2015
Aiken with a catch in a crowd. No fear on that one.
— TURRON DAVENPORT (@TDavenport_NFL) August 20, 2015
Nick Boyle heating up for the Ravens. Made two catches across the middle.
— TURRON DAVENPORT (@TDavenport_NFL) August 20, 2015
Boyle got busy on that last drive. Makes catches in traffic. https://t.co/F1hZweQ5oW

Perriman on the sideline catching a few passes from Renner.

Forsett draws coverage from Kendricks on the wheel route. Refs call PI in the end zone. #Ravens
— TURRON DAVENPORT (@TDavenport_NFL) August 20, 2015
Aiken caught a deep pass vs Jaylen Watkins. Got called for pushing off though. Nice throw by Flacco.
— TURRON DAVENPORT (@TDavenport_NFL) August 20, 2015
Waller w/a deep catch on the sideline fro. Schaub. Best Denzel Rice. Nice job of controlling his body to make the over the shoulder catch
— TURRON DAVENPORT (@TDavenport_NFL) August 20, 2015
Waller once again. Using his big body to box out Marc Anthony. Went up and grabbed it.
— TURRON DAVENPORT (@TDavenport_NFL) August 20, 2015
Daniel Brown joins the party with a deep catch over Randall Evans. #Ravens #Eagles
— TURRON DAVENPORT (@TDavenport_NFL) August 20, 2015
One player that is making plays today for #Ravens is Darren Waller. The 6-6 WR just went up and made a catch on the end zone.
— TURRON DAVENPORT (@TDavenport_NFL) August 20, 2015
Nick Boyle getting work in. Just beat Malcolm Jenkins. Surprised at his receiving ability. Ravens moving ball well now.
— TURRON DAVENPORT (@TDavenport_NFL) August 20, 2015
Steve Smith had Eric Rowe beat with safety help over top. Ball was overthrown though.
— TURRON DAVENPORT (@TDavenport_NFL) August 20, 2015a>
Next play Smith goes up to grab one on a curl. Aiken freaked Rowe at the line on the other side. Flacco missed him.
— TURRON DAVENPORT (@TDavenport_NFL) August 20, 2015
They've battled. Steve Smith has beat him but Rowe has won his share also. It's a good experience for both. https://t.co/CqxpXL8O8N

As I said, impressive days from Aiken, Smith, Waller, Boyle (besides the fumble). No one looked bad in the receiving group, except for Boyle's fumble issues, although punching the ball out seemed to be an emphasis for the Eagles.
This group is shaping up nicely. I am enjoying the Trestman air attack so far. Now if only Perriman can get on the field some time next week, the Ravens should be set at the position.
