lmao, @Oldschool739 will be along to post some lame memes

the secondary doesnt concern you? i mean bmore crapped the bed on that last drive.........but i fully expected them to drive on us

Well as we have found out, so long as the pressure finds its way home the secondary isn't AS exposed. Sure they are always going to be a concern, but that concern seems to be more alleviated by the pressure.

imagine if we were in the NFC with some of the passing they have going on, yikes.

 

[SteelersPride]

either way the pressure definitely alleviates some of the risk of our secondary. and im glad they are starting to show they can get the pressure. BUt they arent doing it consistently

WHich is why it concerns me more than the secondary. Were those backup OTs today all-pro or what?

Dupree looked like he found more pressure than Watt. Made no sense.

Need better from both of them. The D-lineman can't handle all of the pressure on their own.

Side note... I was happy to see them give Fort more work today, even with Bostic healthy. Did they do that last week too?

he got some work last week i believe, i dont truly remember but i really like his game

Yea he's much better than Matakevich, that's for sure. Seems to play well in both run & passing downs. Bostic is pure run-stuffer and thats all.

yep, fort just seems to ignite some energy imo

Always thought he was underappreciated. Definitely has a ceiling, but its much much better than Dirty Red's.

Uhoh @Oldschool739 is trolling through the thread and handing out thumbs downs........

 

[Oldschool739]

Congrats Pitts ,good win, clearly the best team today and probably this season...Hopefully next yr we'll have a new HC and coordinators.....We'll see !!!!

 

[Oldschool739]

Eh.....I'm not so optimistic given their schedule

Offenses have figured out the Ravens D and the running game is non existent this year. Not to mention Joe being inconsistent as well.

It's been the same thing for yrs now under Harboob, Blue.....He just doesn't know how to shift gears during the season.....Biggest problem we have, HC !!!!!

 

[CaptainStubing]

Ravens season has gone in the toilet. Harbaugh may get fired

Joe is no slouch, but he's not a top tier QB. Against, Brady, Brees, Mahomes, really any of the top tier QBs, yes, I'm still very concerned about the secondary as well as the pressure.

Collectively the team can generate pressure, but it's starting to look very much like last year on the edge. TJ and Bud are hit or miss...Watt typically shows well vs weaker OTs so I expected him to play well vs BAL and he just played okay.
