I know you'll appreciate this @sp6488 ZDS, Judon, and Bowser all in the WAR Top 20 for passing. https://github.com/SportsInfoSolutions/AnalyticsChallenge2020/blob/master/Submissions/meysubb%40gmail.com/Winning the WAR on Defense.pdf This is good work. Somewhat validates their conclusions that Suggs was one of the best DL/OLB against the run 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamondbull424 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 I see that board and just get excited for what it might look like with a full season of Calais Campbell, Justin Madubuike, Derek Wolfe, Patrick Queen, and Malik Harrison added to that front 7. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope that despite the two rookie ILBs, Wink continues to rotate snaps like no other. Clark having the green dot should help facilitate that, but I'd hate for us to abandon some of what made the D so good from week 4 on last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danand Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 I have been thinking, when do we try to find Brandon Williams replacement? He has shown over and over again how important he is, but his position is just not a premier one. If we want a NT that can more than be fat in the middle, we need to draft in the Derrick Brown range if we want a big prospect. Otherwise we have to take chances later in the draft, but when do we do that? Next year or hope we can find someone after Williams contract is up? OR, do we actually extend him. He is not a likely decline in play unless his wheels fall off. He will not be a great pass rusher in any way, but still in his 30's he could be a great plugger in the middle.

DreamKid Posted August 12, 2020 Author Share Posted August 12, 2020 Interceptions: 5 Marcus Peters Baltimore Ravens · CB The best situations in which to earn interceptions are when defenses face passes in unfavorable down-and-distance plays for the offense. The Ravens' addition of Calais Campbell to the defensive front helps drive more consistent pressure, which is also correlated with greater chances of earning an interception. The other factor working in Peters' favor is his aggressive playing style. And it sure doesn't hurt that he's lining up on the opposite side of the field as Marlon Humphrey, who, on an almost-weekly basis, ranks among my model's top three corners. With the CB duo of Peters and Humphrey, Baltimore boasts the highest pick projection as a total defense, as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly if they’re smart and try and get Bowser on the field as much as possible, things could get even more dangerous with the pressure he could also help provide. Too bad they’ve essentially boxed him behind Judon. It’ll probably take a Judon injury before Bowser sees extensive playing time and then extensive impact.

It's not as bad as the Jefferson/Clark debacle, because Judon actually carries value. It is an unfortunate situation though. All we can do is hope they finally unleash him this season, he's such a versatile weapon to field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is an unfortunate situation though. All we can do is hope they finally unleash him this season, he's such a versatile weapon to field. Yup. On the note of defensive pressure and Judon, I’d love to see this as one of our pass rushing lineups: —— Bowser ——— Queen ——— Judon —— — Campbell—— Madubuike—— McPhee— Those 6 could put QBs in the pressure cooker. What you mentioned earlier about that secondary collecting interceptions could happen real quick... especially considering NFL offenses are typically behind defenses through training camp and teams won’t get preseason games to get completely up to speed. The speed of that defense and the quality of that secondary could really catch teams off guard if it coalesces as well as we anticipate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent. I wonder what the rotation will look like. Who Madubuike subs in for the most. Williams as a pass rusher NT or will they rotate him in for Wolfe at DT. All intents and purposes the team has also really liked Ward last season and we know McPhee can get buckets inside. Add in Jelly and Washington and it’s a pretty stacked unit and rotation to keep everyone fresh. Which will be important with so many veterans upfront.

No reason to inundate him with pass rush reps at his age, even more so when you factor in his grand inefficiency at it. His 2019 2.9% pressure rate was/is horrific. Campbell's ability to rush outside or inside a 4 man front opens up some interesting combinations for us. So I think we'll get a lot of different looks as the coaches settle on what lineup is best for each situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
