But at the same time, it tells that this team has no heart and fold under pressure. Ravens just aren't built for it. Even last year in our 14-2 season it showed. Now that things are spiraling out of control, it just looks worse. I was baffled by that play at the time. Our defense hadn’t shown it could consistently stop the Titans throughout that 4th quarter. Lamar had completed a very similar play to Andrews earlier in the game... and if they blitz, Lamar’s the kind of guy that could get you 16 yards in a hurry if he has the space... why would we not at least attempt something there. It wasn’t like it was 3rd and 25. It was 3rd and 16, even if we fall short a little, could’ve setup a 4th and punt trick play for a 1st down opportunity.

ThatJaxxenGuy Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 We look exactly like the late Flacco era. These are the Harbaugh Ravens, imo. A really dusty team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RavensfanRD Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Wink didn't make the adjustment after the Titans started to make us pay for blitzing. Reminds me of what Mahomes and Big Ben did. Just started to cook in the second half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.10.E Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 (edited) Seeing all these young WRs around the league make plays while Dez off the street is seemingly our best WR now.... Edited November 22, 2020 by M.10.E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamondbull424 Posted November 22, 2020 Author Share Posted November 22, 2020 (edited) Honestly if the team doesn’t make the playoffs this season, I’m pretty much done with Harbaugh. We’re starting to get to Billick levels of complacency. Our coaches continue to get out coached by the opposition. Wink has his defense getting carved up with three All Pro/PB level corners on the backend defending. Bowser makes a huge interception and then disappears on the bench never to be heard from again. JKD dominates on a drive and we decide to bench him when he was still incredibly fresh? We had the momentum in the game and our special teams gives up a huge 4th down play off the SP teams unit not recognizing the backup QB being in? By far the highest penalized team in the league over like the last 5 weeks. The coaches aren’t putting forth a good product onto the field in the things they’re asked to do. They haven’t really been putting forth great coaching efforts really all season. Lucked out against the Eagles to allow them to comeback in that game. They haven’t been able to develop tendency breakers throughout the offense nor defense on a consistent basis. There’s enough talent on the offense and defense, yet this coaching staff is gearing down. They have this team feeling like an arrogant team that expects things to be handed to them. Where’s Bernard Pollard to instigate a mutiny in the locker room when you need him... Edited November 22, 2020 by diamondbull424 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sad thing is, analysts like Romo can see that from a handful of games and explicitly call it out. Why the hell does our front office continue to fail at evaluating WRs that fit both our scheme and our quarterback? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won’t castigate the front office for not wanting to give up resources for Jeudy or Lamb, but we had opportunities to draft all the other guys and instead came away with Soulja and Queen. I’m not against adding Queen, but they had a choice as to whether to build the defense or build the offense and they chose to build the defense and hope Lamar’s elite tools could just drive the offense another season. Well, Lamar has had a very average NFL QB season to this point. Nothing absolute trash, but certainly not special. I’ve said this for some time, Lamar as a passer is basically Derek Carr. Passive tendencies where he doesn’t want to make mistakes and kill drives, doesn’t have an elite or even great arm, but a quality enough arm. Can make some absolutely fantastic passes and can read the field at a high enough level, but can also get into a habit of doubting themselves some. Only Lamar adds elite wheels and he’s young enough where he can still reach a higher ceiling as a passer. But Lamar isn’t the kind of QB talent that can thrive without guys that he can trust to be reliable high point specialists. He doesn’t have the pinpoint accuracy of a Wilson to gamble on pass plays that require high level execution all over the field. But he does have QB tools that in an offense scheming guys open, he could pick it apart. He does well going through his progressions, but definitely as you mentioned earlier, he struggles in his pre-snap reads. He will need to work hard on developing the cerebral components of the game. If Lamar struggles as much as an agent as he does in pre-snap reads, we might be able to get him for $25-30m/year. LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Us? Not even a freaking thought to give him the ball. And I don't care if Dez was replaced by Breshad Perriman, you run a slant and throw him the ball in space. The NFL is about getting your skill position guys the ball in space, because time and time again it's proven that they WILL make people miss and make plays for you. We just literally don't do that. I'm not sure it's so simple. First, Lamar is in shotgun, so it takes time for him to receive the snap and grip the ball properly. Ideally you run a slant with a 3-step drop under center. Second, that safety could easily take a step or two up after the snap and fill the passing lane. He isn't lined up against a TE, he likely has the RB, so he is free to disrupt the slant before the RB gets out of the backfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wackywabbit Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 So, the most disappointing thing for me is that they did NOT change up the offense with all the losses. We still went with heavy personnel with the replacement "heavy personnel" that we we are forced to trot out. This NEEDS to become a spread offense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about we replace him with Skura+Wilson. LOL. It’s not like Dobbins needs big formations to run the ball out of either. He can run out of a variety of sets. No excuse that James Proche or Miles Boykin shouldn’t be in over Luke Wilson. Such a basic and below average game plan... I should’ve known better than to expect bigger things from him. Roman hasn’t been able to consistently scheme success in the run nor pass plays this season. There’s no excuse for him keeping his job moving forward if we continue to underperform and/or miss the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
