The Injuries, the Defense and the Offense (and the Special Teams)

He knows Monken is a bigger threat to him than Orr. He’s a female dog.
Monken getting promoted to interim Head Coach if Harbaugh were fired during the season would be interesting. Though I think it would be Pagano since he's a former Head Coach, can fix the defense and let Monken worry about the offense.
 
Brief film review says the OL isn't terrible in pass protection when they read the defense right, but it looks so inconsistent. Don't see a lot of pre-snap recognition and don't see guys adjusting quick enough to what they're being given. Feels like there's some mental block on that unit right now.

People aren't going to want to hear it but the right side of the line was solid. The left side and middle though...

My conspiracy brain thinks this is why Harbaugh is publicly criticizing Monken.

Monken is the likely candidate to be interim if Harbs was to get canned.

Zach Orr poses to threat to Harbs. He’s just Harb’s scapegoat ready to take the hit.
 
I thought the defense played better than in their previous game but the offense in general just didn't seem like it adjusted to what KC has seem to.always do to the ravens offense. It didn't seem like Monken adjusted at all which I can see how Harbaugh was upset about.

Can’t go lower than #32. So you are correct.
 
All the focus on the defense hasn't changed for me we need to find a GOOD left gaurd. I'm taking trading a third round pick if needed. Stanley's ankle looks like it is going to be a problem again, and linderbaum is good but not the line is hurt-terrible-great-pretty bad-underperforming L->R

Horrible. We need to heavily upgrade one of the two

Rodger is a really good player we are going to be lucky to have for a minute. One of the few things I'm not flipping out about

What team is exactly going to give up a GOOD Left Guard? We're better off telling Yanda put all his weight back on and to come out of retirement than a team trade us a good left guard.
 
On Lamar Jackson's interception:

"It wasn't a good play call....We had downfield routes with no check-downs..."

We WHAT, John? This was on a 1st and 10. Isaiah Likely on a block-and-release gets a minimum of 5 yards here, and we're in position to build the lead. I wasn't overly high on the play-designs against extra rushers on Sunday, but this wasn't one of them.

Harbaugh has lost his mind. I can't wait the day he's gone.
 
Which one has shown he can consistently be a good coordinator at the NFL level?

I imagine the bar for Monken is A LOT higher than for Orr.

With Orr, the Ravens are happy when they don't have 40 dropped on them. Baby steps and all that.
In big games ,Like the KC Championship game, Monken has been consistently out coached by the DC of the opposing team.

Feel like this screenshot shows my OL concerns too - no pressure recognition. People gonna flip on Faalele because he's the one blocking no one in this image, but this is a larger issue on the tape for the entirety of the OL and into the backfield. Just looks like a unit with no cohesion which is wild considering they've been together since day 1 of camp. They don't trust each other in pass protection, and by extension, the backfield doesn't have the trust either.

Looks to me like there is no continuity
