The Defence, The Running Game and The When Will these Injuries ever end?

[rossihunter2]

Good win.

Slow start on offence - lots of questions to be had about the running game both in terms of the OL and the RBs.

Defence looked stout. Dominant DL, Houston looked great. With MP still to come in, the defence looks in nice shape.

But those injuries... at positions that already have injuries too. Both did not look good. Thankfully we're in a much better position at tackle depth-wise than we were last year.

Just want to say Flacco played like vintage Flacco.

60 passes for 300 yards and a garbage time TD. Some things never change.

 

[SepticeyePoe]

Can't wait to add Jones and Ojabo to this defense

 

[Sandtown]

Figure the offense would be a little sluggish since they didn't play in preseason but glad to see some life in the second half of the season especially with the run game as well. Sucks Proche wasn't involved as I would have hoped but it is what it is. Devin Duvernay did his thing today.

I never want to hear him mentioned in the same sentence as Justin Tucker

Losing James and Fuller was a kick in the teeth!

 

[rossihunter2]

that's brutal for him
first game in 3 years - was playing well... and then maybe his career is over after less than a half

James tore his Achilles

Hopium!

Fuller’s was strange, just seemed like he was turning.
Of course both suck, hope this isn’t a sign of things to come.

Things I liked:
1. Snaps from under center- I think having more of our plays from under center will help us better disguise our plays
2. The play from our WRs- I loved seeing Duvernay and Robinson getting involved in the passing game
3. Lamar's play in the second half- while the offence looked half asleep during the first half, Lamar woke up in the second half and took over the game like I knew he would
4. Defense played really well for most of the game and had some nice turnovers

Things I didn't like:
1. Injuries
2. Running game- the running game looked like it did last season
3. 4th quarter defense- our 4 quarter defense let Flacco drive at will to pad his stats and that is not acceptable in a more competitive game

Let’s hope it’s just a sprain

Damn I was worried it was going to be something that was going to end his season and likely end his career

 

[Davesta]

Pierce might be slow af, but he’s disruptive today.

Excited to see the 3 man rotation of Pierce, J-Mad, and Jones

LT seems to be a jinxed position for us ever since JO retired.

 

[Davesta]

Couldn’t happen to a better guy

I mean when you are turning one way and get pushed another with your leg planted... that is how knees get messed up.

Ain’t that the truth. I hope Stanley can come back and Mekari can hold down the fort until he does.

That would be a big loss.
