Dom McRaven
Hall of Famer
As for my review of the season, it was a failure. Sorry not sorry. I can't say it was a success when we lost one round prior than the previous season in which the ways we lost were basically the same ways how we lost virtually each and every single game this season.
Offensively, by far Lamar's best season. Only 4 INTs in which arguably 3 weren't his fault? Impressive. 41 TDs too. At first I wasn't overly excited with the acquisition of Henry, but man, what an amazing season he had. Another aging player who was blessed by the Ravens fountain of youth. My heart breaks for Zay as the football gods continue to punish us. They were like, "Oh word? First 1,000 yard Ravens WR? LMAO watch this." Bateman also had his best season as a WR. He definitely put it all together although he pissed me off in the Browns road game. TEs did their thing. Which leads me to the OL. Rosengarten = STUD. Linderbaum is a top 5 center at worst despite that snap we just saw. Stanley still looked great. That said, upgrading the guard position is a must. I want us to have one of the (if not THE) strongest OLs in the game especially with PIT and CLE's front 7s still there.
Defensively, I was ready to call for Orr's head if he didn't turn this defense around. Boy did he ever. That switch to Hamilton and AD as our starting safeties worked WONDERS. KVN, ANOTHER aging player who was blessed by the Ravens fountain of youth. Oweh looked good too. But those two alone is nowhere NEAR enough. I don't know what tf an Ojabo is other from being a mythical creature but that's another big offseason need. Wiggins seems to be another foundational piece on defense......something that I was hoping Stephens aka BS would be. I'd like to see what TJ Tampa can bring to the table.
S/T. Ummm, yeah I got nothing.
Either way, y'all. We'll see what happens in the offseason, but it'll prolly be more of the same.
