Ravens Ring of Honor
Is Kenny Young that bad when you can pick someone off the street and they play better than you have?
He has the physical talent, but he's just out of position too many times and also takes bad angles.

If their jobs were to actually get to the QB, I'd be unimpressed with these numbers. But it really doesn't mean anything.in a combined 138 games Brandon Williams and Michael pierce have a combined
8.5 career sacks.
that is ridiculously bad.

their main objective is to stop the run and that is a fact, but you don't really pay too much attention. It's quite obvious, based on these posts.I refuse to believe that these two are not on passing downs. They have been the staple of our interior D and i'm sorry...just by sheer default 8.5 sacks combined in 138 games ?

You can refuse to believe anything you want.

The Ravens run the two gap technique. A two gap technique requires more discipline on the part of the defender. A defensive lineman is responsible for both the A and B gaps on his side of the field. His job is not so much to crash through a gap as to read the play, anticipate which gap a running back might choose, and clog it.Yeah that's their ''objective'' but even run stuffers can/have do more than that pitiful tally.
How about chris wormley? his job to ''stuff the run''
is that all D linesman are meant to do in baltimore
stuff the run and not get sacks?

if you were aware then you would understand that maintaining your gap is the priority of a two gap lineman vs. a 1 gap lineman and breaking down further whether it's an over or under makes a difference as wellI am aware but i've said these guys are in on passing downs also when they are required to rush the QB even if it's not their forte and the results are putrid
But then why the hell are we calling a scheme that prioritizes gap integrity over pass rush even on obvious passing downsif you were aware then you would understand that maintaining your gap is the priority of a two gap lineman vs. a 1 gap lineman and breaking down further whether it's an over or under makes a difference as well
I would love to have a one gap under, but we currently don't have the personnel. In obvious pass rushing scenarios we aren't running our base personnel (3-4). As a matter we are only in base personnel less than 20% of the time. Brandon Williams is also off the field in most pass rushing downs. Two gap integrity is typically used under a 3-4 scheme. Most snaps Pierce and Williams aren't on the field at the same time.But then why the hell are we calling a scheme that prioritizes gap integrity over pass rush even on obvious passing downs

That being said two gap teams are in most occasions better against the run and vice versa. In many instances Wade Phillips teams have had issues against the run. Not all the time, but in many instances. I haven't checked this year, but last year this was the case as well and they are in a one gap scheme.
How do you make sacks if you don't rush the quarterback?
Being paid that much for what he does is certainly not BW's fault and his run D play would have been way more visible if our inside linebackers cleaned up better or outside ones did their job and set the edge from time to time.The same way you don’t make tackles. His numbers are putrid through 5 games. He’s credited with 5 tackles, 1 solo and 4 assists. Zero sacks. I’m good with his role on this team, but we pay him a decent salary to just take up space. It would be nice to see him at least be a bit of a disruption when he is in there when they do throw the ball.

Just look at any game when BW is out, we get fucking killed by our run D. Complaining about his lack of sacks is about as dumb as complaining about Tuckers lack of interceptions
