The Lamar, The Offence and The Pass Rush

PQ clearly a loss as a blitzer
Clowney clearly a loss as an edge rusher

we didnt have to send 5 much last year at all - we had one of the lowest blitz rates in the league

used a ton of sim pressures with PQ and stunts to create 1v1 matchups or free rushers

oweh's been disappointing after a really strong start, ojabo's been a real let down after a promising first couple of weeks, KVN has been fine but he's clearly not a guy you build your pass rush around (he's a great 2nd/3rd EDGE as a pass rush/pass down specialist)

it's frustrating that after all the picks invested (2024 3rd rounder, 2023 4th rounder, 2022 2nd rounder, 2021 1st rounder, 2021 5th rounder) that we're probably going to have to invest with a high pick again this year
More frustrating is that the pick will be in 30s

I mean in theory the front 7 is over 1/4 of your starters so it does not overly bother me but I do think it will be very unlikely that a pick towards the end of the first round will result in an immediate plug and play pass rusher. Those guys tend to be gone by that point and the Ravens do not trade up. Maybe with the hype around QBs this draft some might fall but probably not that far.
 
- How on Earth do you stop this offense? I mean, you can stack the box against Derrick Henry, but Zay is literally showing that he's unguardable 1v1, even if you put a high level CB against him, he's still going to torch whoever he is up against. Lamar continues to find the open receiver somewhere and even though Denver has a very good defense, they just could not contain the passing game and they showed a variety of looks. There's just nothing that can stop this offense when the OL is blocking like this.
- IMO, this was the most impressive game from the offense of the entire season. Denver's defense is very legit on all levels and the Ravens offense straight up dog walked them.
- I'll take the defense's performance with a grain of salt. I like how they made stops but Bo Nix is still a rookie at the end of the day and today it showed. I'm concerned about this unit this upcoming Thursday, I'm fully expecting our defense to get diced up this Thursday.
 

Lmfao

Now onto more serious matters. Which pass rusher would you even want? And how were we able to get a rush earlier and now no one can get within arms reach of these bastards

At this point, I'll take anybody and just cross my fingers hoping that it could help to even the slightest extent.
