The Lamar, The Defence and The Injuries (again)

Lamar had one poor throw where he led Bateman too far when he was seeing ghosts when Faalele came in initially and was punished with a pick.
But otherwise was ridiculous again. He had to put the offence on his back today when Mekari went down and it looked a lot like it did in 2021 early where Lamar was just better than what the opposing defence no matter what they threw at him.

Good to see Dobbins back. Justice Hill gave the running game a spark. When we needed to grind it out in the 4th quarter we couldn't lean on that running game but it was able to get chunks when the defence backed out. And importantly this week we stayed aggressive with the pass when the running game didnt work and we got the points to put the game away.

Defence will be probably somewhat helped narratively by the turnovers (which were great). But too easily giving up yards in 2 minute drills and in the 4th quarter.

And obviously, it wouldnt be a ravens game without more injuries. The statuses of Pat Mekari, Michael Pierce and Justin Houston up in the air right now.

Hamilton looked good but hard to see or verify that for sure until coaches film comes out and we get to see the all-22

and i didnt pay much attention to linderbaum - most of my attention was on Faalele on the OL

Faalele was garbage

The defense is worrisome but at least they generated turnovers.

getting more turnovers is great for sure but there's too much luck involved with turnovers to rely on that to save us

we need to find ways to create more consistent positive plays on defence - we're having real problems on 3rd and 4th downs getting off the field in both short and long yardage

Lamar continues to ball out and show that he deserves whatever he wants for a contract. It was great to see the run game improve with the return of JK. But the defence needs to be better than it was
