On 4th and short I always like QB bootlegs with the option to run or pass to a crosser OR a pick/rub route to free up a receiver.

Yeah, the lack of tackles suggests that either A) Sanders is constantly getting double teamed and washed out of the play or B) he can’t get off his block to get to the ball carrier. And it’s not like he isn’t getting opportunities. Aside from the Jets game, the run defense has been a sieve, as resistant as tissue paper.

Still the first player EVER that I’ve seen go down with a non-contact knee injury and not require surgery to repair a torn ligament. He and the Bills were very fortunate.

Yeah, Prater holds onto the job unless he starts missing kicks. So far almost every single FG/extra pt has been dead center, while Bass likes to flirt with the uprights. Tyler has to continue to sit.

I don’t like the argument that we’re such an “extremely deep playoff team” that cracking the lineup is an arduous task for a high pick. It’s not like the players ahead of those high picks are all pro talents. If the rookies could play, or more accurately, if the coaches believed Landon or anyone else in his rookie class was ready to play, that player would be on the field - either in a rotation, or ahead of some average to below average NFL players.

Landon should be getting defensive reps ahead of Solomon since Solomon hasn’t shown anything, but I know he plays STs as well so he keeps getting a jersey. McD said a couple weeks ago Landon was close to playing, so it was a surprise he wasn’t up for this game.

When DBs give these huge cushions like the last one Elam just gave, it’s essentially pitch and catch for NFL QBs & WRs. The WRs have to be challenged.

The good ones are usually around 35 solo for the year, roughly 2 per game. Deone Walker has 6 solo, Daquan has 4. I don’t know Sanders snap count, but I think he’s been on the field as much as those two and is producing far less.

Just saw that TJ Sanders has one solo tackle all year. ONE. With the amount of rushing attempts this team has seen, he’s gotta be monumentally better.

Henry gets his carries against the Bills: 24 - 199 16 - 84 18 - 169 Compare that to his games against KC: 13 - 46 8 - 42 He wasn’t there for the AFCCG, but the Ravens abandoned the run in that one too and got criticized for it. KC stops the run better than we do, just by virtue of how many bodies they put in the box, but the Ravens don’t stick with it either.

#56 Solomon was out there a lot it seems. He’s been disappointing as well. Let Landon Jackson get some run.

Ravens NEVER commit to Henry when they play the Chiefs. They always seem to want to put it on Lamar’s shoulders and pass more than usual. It’s odd.

I think he needs to get stronger in his lower body. He’s never been a quick twitch pass rusher so he’s gotta win with power and length. I don’t see much power out of him, ever. Wouldn’t hate to see him tack on 10 extra pounds of good weight and develop more strength in his lower body.

It’s the way he got up off the ground with no physical restrictions and walked to the bench without nary a limp. If it was a hamstring injury serious enough to keep him out of the game, you would’ve seen a visual reaction to him pulling it. I bet you he plays next week…

I know KC stops the run pretty well, but in their games against them, BAL ALWAYS gives up on riding with Henry.

This just in: KC is still a tough out

Lamar quit

Ravens defense badly needs a turnover

I mean, we beg to put it in Cook’s hands too 😅

Part of me wants to predict a Ravens comeback to reverse their collapsing narrative, but I can’t see it with all the injuries on defense.

I don’t know, the Bills only seem to attack when they NEED to make a play. Otherwise it’d be small ball even against these depleted Ravens.

The Lions game was the first one where I thought the Ravens were physically whooped. In this one they’re just being out-coached/schemed.

They’re not running Henry at all

He has some creative and timely blitzes that would work. Sometimes he’s too blitz heavy though.

Guys, I’m all for pulling the plug on Rapp and getting more athleticism with Hancock in there. What’s the worst that could happen? A team like the Saints drive up and down the field? Oh wait…
