seen it on twitter a little but not sure ive seen it brought up here yet but... we went under centre with Lamar more yesterday than i think ive seen in entire seasons with lamar before
he's going to be really good. May have been a rough game but not all bad and Quinnen Williams isn't an easy first game by any means.
yes agree, but I haven't seen interior pressure like this since maybe 2014 or even longer. Everyone was eating.
for context of just how great the Ravens DL was
and also for how tough Quinnen Williams is for an IOL to deal with - my guess is that Ben Powers is going to have had a rough day when we see the film
Great breakdown by Cole on the running game
surprise surprise, we really miss nick boyle
but i think what this shows is that we're some chemistry (to adjust when guys make mistakes and miss blocks) and some execution (not missing blocks in the first place) away from dominating again in the running game - in all of these plays it's one small breakdown that does it for the whole play... and that's the difference between no gain and a chunk

This is PFF so take it for what it's worth, but Ekwonu and Neal, while the best across all positions was Dylan Parham.

Just watching the clips of Lamar's best plays. Gotta say Lamar is elite. Period.

I see it as a Roman issue, trying to complicate a simple call with 3 dozen words.

Baldy has this insane ability to make even bad teams look awesome whenever he wants. His breakdowns are always looking at the positive side of football, which I love.

PFF is as shitty as its founder, Cris Collinsworth.
hate Collinsworth. He isn't the founder, but is an owner now.
Couldnt they still just call the play and lamar aud at los based on defensive look.. yea i think its a lamar issue that harbaugh dnt wanna admit

This video was my big fear. The OL are just not great run blockers. The RBs were often hung out to dry. Boyle can hopefully improve on Oliver, Stanley can improve on Mekari. But Powers and Moses are what they are. Given we are so right handed, RT and LG pulling are such an important duo. Against the Jets they were simply not good enough. Hoping we can clean some things up and take steps forward.
But gotta say Quinnen Williams up front with Kwon Alexander and CJ Mosley behind is pretty difficult to run on! Especially when they were stacking the box.
Our OL are actually quite good at pass pro, so if we see that they're stacking the box make em pay through the air. The run game does not always have to set up the pass game. The pass game can also set up the run game.

Damn. I was so looking forward to watch him play. One of my favourite corners over the years.
No because the speaker to the QB switches off at 15 seconds on the playclock and the defence often hasn’t declared by then
Can’t wait to find out the defence before you call the play
I didn’t get the same doom and gloom feel about our OL as run blockers from that video at all - I saw massive runs destroyed by Josh Oliver sucking - Moses was disappointing but I don’t think powers was that poor in that video at all... he got beat up by Williams on one play and had Oliver in his way on a pull
Felt to me like a bunch of plays that will work with better chemistry and better TE blocking
Ravens defence is always its most fun when we’re in dime
Extra fun now that PQ isn’t leaving the field and Hamilton is now on the field - so much youth and range added to that package vs last year

I dont think it's doom and gloom, but I think their run protection floor is kinda low. Their ceiling is more than adequate enough. They gotta gel and we have to improve on Oliver.
