The 2025 Baltimore Ravens thread

[Blessings]

I literally said this in week 2 when it was obvious the line was horrible

They have to be a pass happy team to be successful this year

the line aint good enough to run against stacked boxes

You have to consistently throw to open up the run

Anyone who thinks we should be giving Henry 25+ carries obviously aren’t watching the games

most of his carries are wasted downs

Facts
It’s only been you and I saying. Seem like others are blowing smoke speaking on hypotheticals and wishful thinking of “identity” , “ground and pound”, “Ravens football”, etc. While ignoring the reality and facts.

Team has literally been in bad cap situations since making Flacco the highest paid QB 12 years ago

Since then its been one bad contract after another

You pay Dennis Pitta after he dislocated his hip which made no sense

You pay Ray Rice then cut him a year later and basically have to eat his entire contract

You make Brandon Williams who is a 2 down run stopper one of the highest paid DTs

You overpay a washed Earl Thomas and cut him after 1 year and eat all his dead money

You pay Stanley 100 mill and he literally breaks his leg 2 days later and spends the next 4 years either hurt or playing terrible

You pat Marlon 100 mill and he immediately becomes one of the worst cover corners in the league

You pay Marcus Williams a top 5 contract for him to be injured every year and terrible the few games he actually plays

You pay Roquon 100 mill when nobody else in the league is giving off ball LBs that type of deal

You finally get out the Stanley deal and turn around and pay him 20 mill per and he goes right back to being terrible

You give Bateman 2 extensions when hes clearly a 1st round bust

You pay a 31 year old RB for no reason when you already have him under contract

Lamar and Kyle are the only 2 I can think of that got paid and actually lived up to the contract in the last decade

I don’t know how the front office keeps getting a pass for all these horrible roster decisions

I don’t mind the zig when everyone else zags…..
My biggest issue are when things are obviously not work…switch it up
Lamar shouldn’t have to publicly criticize the offensive line for coaches to make a change.

Emery Jones should be the starting LG
Bullock RG

Robinson and Washington back should help the defense

The Andrews extension makes zero sense even the timing of it smh when he wouldn’t command that salary on the open market

This what a competent coach sounds like

kinda sounds like hes talking about our coaches in this video

 

[duncanthetall]

even if they wanted to resign him why pay him so much

He wasn’t gonna get that on the open market this upcoming offseason

the most he would’ve gotten would probably be 2 years 14 mill or 3 years 21 mill

nobody was gonna pay a washed Andrews 13 mill per

this is almost as bad when they paid Dennis Pitta after he dislocated his hip the first time

every since the Flacco deal which was 13 fukking years ago this team has been handling out terrible contract after terrible contract

That’s what I’m thinking. Who were they in competition with? Like…..2 years 15 mil is about what I expected. At least Andrews hasn’t completely fallen off the map, but it’s telling that even after a great career that in the last year he’s mostly known for his drops. Shame too cause in his prime he was a killer
