2026 Offseason Thread

Losing Nnamdi was big that's one of the reasons why the pass rush wasn't good but also the ravens gambling on Oweh to step up and Van Noy to stay just as good as he was in 2024 didn't go in the ravens favor. Oweh inability to be an every down edge rusher led to a guy like Mike Green to play more than I think the coaching staff actually wanted but again losing Nnamdi was big . Greens a young guy im sure he enjoys what really gets him paid which is sacks . I doubt asking him to drop into coverage or set the edge is something he enjoys or enjoyed but that's not going to stop in Jessie Minter defense though.

We speak about handcuffing our pass rushers and maybe Jessie Minter scheme helps with freedom but honestly the ravens been asking their edge rushers to handle responsibilities outside of just rushing the passer for years.

I'd side with you if we haven't seen people leave and then immediately improve. We messed with Kruger. Let him rush and was a huge reason we won a ring. ZDS and Judon leave and have their best seasons. Oweh left sans sacks. Gets 7 and then 3 more in the playoffs. They asked them to do too much instead of what they were good at.

Could be that when those guys left they had players around them that gave them more of a chance to get free. i.e. Oweh in SD.

Naw.. we had judon, smith, and suggs all on the same roster along with cj mosley and brandon williams who people thought would magically start getting sacks.. i even remember with suggs that he was even required to drop in cvg and set the edge( i think he one of best run defenders ever from edge)..

Yeah and they’ve been ass for years, and the players leave and have career years as others have said, and the film shows it, the edge rushers are handcuffed by the scheme, they aren’t allowed to pass rush with a plan.
