One of our biggest strengths has became our biggest weakness : Tight End . If Andrews gets hurt like he usually does we are in big trouble.
Unless we go to some type of hback/receiver setup
with that new receiver we picked up .
We have to stop with this idea. First of all it is not close to a weakness.

Second, literally every position group on every team in the league becomes substantially weaker when a star player at the top of the depth chart goes down, in many cases teams have zero options when a starter goes down and are fielding camp bodies.

You don’t zero in on a position and waste capital on a loaded spot in case your starter goes down and you can’t get by with your well paid second string TE and another guy, what you do is compensate, you find ways to become more well rounded so you aren’t leaning on one position so hard.

The number of people who have implored the ravens to get a third TE at all costs is ridiculous, it’s a THIRD TIGHT END, yeah it’s more valuable on our offense but overall TE is a low value position for most teams and the titans exposed how desperately we need to lean on them less.

Then what’s our biggest weakness on offense ? Receiver Corp ?

The interior line is gonna have some crazy competition during training camp.

And they'll be competing against our dline

Yes. Mcphee is still a brute. If Ferguson improves and Mcphee stays healthy its a decent rush backer rotation
Agree, healthy McPhee is still a hell of a pass rusher and I know it’s hard to count on the health but damn he’s always forgotten lol.

ferguson is being leaned on obviously. But I’m feeling like bowser might have the patented breakout contract season that LBs and pass rushers have for the ravens.

They were the greatest rushing attack of all time and the number 2 offense in the NFL, there really were not a lot of weaknesses. The young WR corp was the biggest weakness last year which a year of experience will probably improve. Teams that go 14-2 that return most of their starters are not exactly sitting on massive weaknesses.

Interior OL and wr, yes. Build up the OL so you can operate the entire offense smoothly and methodically and maintain rhythm whether you’re running, or passing to the TE or WR, that makes it all work. Then build the wr corps because if you have 3 TEs and that’s all you use to complete passes then you are by definition 1 dimensional and can be stopped
