bruceb Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 We obviously have risen above the rabble and shown that we can compete with everyone but the big boys. What will it take for us to take the next step(s) and compete for and in the playoffs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawgX Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Gain more experience. Add another playmaker on offense. Add another legit pass rusher. Improve our run defense. Abandon Gregg's infuriating defensive schemes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman93 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Upgrade the defensive line and add another explosive player on offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnies20 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I think our secondary is set when healthy. we need someone next to Schobert at LB that can affect the run and pass. Collins isn’t cutting it. He’s a step too slow. Need a pass rusher across from Garrett that can stay on the field. Also need someone to replace Coley. Legit #1 WR. Perriman has surprised me. He has a few more games to show he’s not the same WR the Ravens drafted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas5737 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 We eventually need to trust our QB to seal a game. The fumbles hurt today, the picks hurt last week. The run defense has hurt us many games. We need to clean those up to beat most decent teams. We have the 4th best passer rating against, we're bottom 10 in rush yards per attempt. I really think we need to work on the run defense ahead of getting another pass rusher. Certainly don't want another speed rusher off the edge that will just make running against us that much easier. We'll single handedly turn this back in to a rushing league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwibrown Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Add a burner wr. Get 1-2 new linebackers. Get two new dlinemen, especially a pass rusher. Get another power rb behind chubb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only need now to get to 5-1 and we are there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much of that is scheme though? I mean, it makes sense to force teams to run it on you and sell out to stop the pass. As bad as our D looked at times today, we only allowed 20 points... just sayin’.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, our D hasn't been bad at points as much as yards. If we were forcing turnovers like we were earlier in the year and tackling better our defense would be more than serviceable. I don't think another pass rusher really does a whole lot. We aren't giving up a lot of 3rd and medium/long conversions it seems that we just give up 6 on first, 5 on second, rinse and repeat until we get into the red zone. I'm okay with a bend defense but you gotta get yourself off of the field sometimes, not every or even most drives just occasionally so that we aren't near the bottom in time of possession. We have an offense (QB) that can sustain some drives so we're off to a good start to winning the T.O.P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonanza23 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Experience. More depth. A couple more playmakers. O and D. A freaking kicker. As I’ve said a draft or two away. Especially if Dorsey continues to nail drafts. And hopefully nail the coach hire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
