You took the words out of my mouth. These two signings have been excellent for us. The pressure they are creating is so underrated right now.

Separation by yardage is going to be low when so many targets are under 10 yards from the LoS. I think those stats are partly on the playcaller too.

Lamar’s patience when running the ball is underrated. He almost looks like he’s walking at times waiting for a hole or the defender to make a move. It’s funny to watch the defenders try to mirror him and then Lamar just slips by effortlessly

Sure, the Ravens won the game and are 4-2 and presently atop of the AFC North but after 6 weeks of gameplay, their offense is still ass to me. With the exception of the TD to Zay, they can't seem to score TDs when they hit the red zone (an issue that has plagued them for a few seasons now) but had to keep settling for the FGs. Pathetic! Now, here comes the red-hot 5-1 Lions to Baltimore on Sunday. Oh well, no pre-game hype up from me-just go play ball Ravens!

His decision making too. On redzone I've been watching mobile QBs taking too long to decide to run, running at the wrong times all day and it just made me appreciate how well and quickly Lamar reads things

going to get wake up call against the lions
For the complaints I have about the passing game philosophy as a whole, the scheme at least seems to benefit Lamar greatly. The read option clearly still has its place, but its lowered usage has seemingly let Lamar process things a lot more and make better decisions.

I don’t think anyone is suggesting we give up on the short and intermediate passing game. That has been working pretty well. The discussion was around the deep passing game and why we haven’t done more of it. My point is simply that after Zay there is a pretty steep drop off in production from the other wr’s. And personally I don’t care whether we win by throwing bombs or whether we throw 5 yard out routes, and run the ball. As long as we win. I do think though that this offense will evolve into something much better then what we’ve seen so far.

We are ranked 3rd in RZ scoring %, pretty sure we were first a couple of weeks ago but the last 2 weeks we have sucked.
up through the cleveland game they were one of the top teams scoring tds in the red zone. Our woes have only been the last couple games.Sure, the Ravens won the game and are 4-2 and presently atop of the AFC North but after 6 weeks of gameplay, their offense is still ass to me.

Yes we've had those issues in past seasons no doubt.

I know that, You are right but being first weeks ago and sucking the past 2 weeks is a big drop in my book.

I know all of that. You are right and I get it! But I'm talking about now! This is a what have you done for me lately league. This is an issue that has plagued the Raven's offenses for a few seasons now.

Agreed, I dont think it's a coincidence that it coincides with Stanley's return. The OL has not looked good since he's been back

Yeah, I see what you are saying.

All of this , Lamar looks more comfortable than ever.
and he's throwing at a 70% completion percentage......even with those drops last week that could have been big yardage
