I despise his use of cover 0, but this was the right move here, either give up six quick or sack them out of fg range. We would’ve ended the game if Hamilton catches the damn ball so it almost worked.

Based on his college tape, I never liked ardarius at slot. He’s a natural safety. I get why they did it, he’s undersized and inexperienced so he’s double trouble in that regard, but it wouldn’t have hurt us at all to have him practicing at S, it’s not like we needed a slot corner in his time here, he could’ve been further along by now and ready to step right in now that Marcus is ass.

If we’re talking Crosby, I’m not hesitating on 2 firsts

Well when you rush the base 4, and another 2, and all six of them are stonewalled, then it’s more like the ravens are playing with 5 defenders, not 7. So you’re not wrong in feeling this way.
Not this year! I wouldnt! Not with this current staff on defense

I’m super iffy on that. I feel that’s a high price to pay since if he is in any way injured or sucks for some reason you just set your franchise back a ton.

He's not. He is playing well but we should expect more from $100M man.

Quite possibly
I'm much more worried about how to make a guy like Crosby (and again, I do not think he's actually available) work within the cap than the draft capital it would cost to get him.
He just gives up so much size and speed, so I kind of get it at the NFL level. It seems they're willing to deal with some of the athletic limitations to work with someone smarter and more disciplined. Includes Eddie Jackson as well at this stage.

Unless we do it once, we'll never have The Guy. Hoping we'll find someone in late 20s / 30s on draft day clearly wasn't working.
Some mid round guys turned out good but it took 3-4 years to develop them.
It's either that or trade up in draft for maybe a steeper price without really knowing how will it turn out.
Best "the guys" in Ravens history are Suggs and Boulware who required those high 1st round picks, and Dumervil who we lucked out on because of old fashioned technology.
he also had to play 80% of the snaps in this one because urban and pierce were out
tbf that did make sense situationally
boom or bust when they're in field goal range - you either force them back, force them to make a mistake or get the ball back
i would hate those playcalls normally
i have a much bigger issue with the other 63 snaps on defence that preceded those 6

unfortunately our defence doesnt hark back to the days of organised chaos
it's now disorganised chaos

Important to point out it's disorganised AND going opposite direction from expected.
