The Ravens will be in town later in the week to practice with the Colts at Grand Park. This could be valuable for both teams to prepare for the regular season.

The Colts will host the Ravens at Grand Park on Friday. Both teams will have practice together and there will be some scrimmaging as well. This is a good opportunity for both teams to prepare for the regular season, and a good chance for the teams to hit someone else other than teammates.

Training camp scrimmages are a great tool for teams to utilize. It gets players a little more jacked up for practice because it is another team. It also gives players a chance to see another offense. It helps both teams get rid of some steam as well.

Some joint practices end up as breeding grounds for fights. That does occasionally happen. But those type of fights aren’t always bad. It can show that the team is standing up for their teammates. It can also show which team won’t back down in the face of adversity.

Fighting is obviously not a good thing. And the practices can have so much value other than that. Not only does it help the players, but it helps the coaches too. It helps them utilize a gameplan. This especially will help the Colts considering they have an entirely new coaching staff.

The practice will be interesting to watch in regards to individual match-ups as well. It will be interesting to see how the starting defense handles Joe Flacco and company after their dismal outing against the Seahawks. It gives them a much needed chance to work on their craft.
