The 2024 Baltimore Ravens thread

[Rob's al Ghul]

Yeah...I mean, he passed his physical and got the all-clear last year, too...played one game (poorly) and it was a wrap.

I'm usually way more optimistic than this, but I doubt we ever see All-Pro Ronnie again. I just hope he can suit up for most of the season and can at least be 75%-80% of his 2019 self.

Bateman going to change that

Bateman is a 1st round pick so of course hes gonna gets his snaps

Im talking about all the mid/late round receivers or the UDFAs

Ravens been doing this shyt for 20 years

they always waste mid round picks on receivers and never really give them a shot to succeed

Marlon Brown is the only dude off the top of my head who they actually gave a legit shot to

I want to see what Duverney,Proche,and Tylan Wallace can do WITH LAMAR(not bum ass Tyler Huntley) before we just hand the #2 receiver role to Robinson

Lol why is Huntley a bum?

Lol why is Huntley a bum?

hes too limited as a passer

you dont notice that none of the receivers have success when hes out there

he just spams the TE and checkdowns

Going off last season a lot were injured, only sure fire receiver was edwards

he just doesnt have the arm talent to make all the throws

Anthony Brown way better than him

Anthony Brown is a better passer than Huntley, but his balls have been underthrown and he doesn't seem to be able to hit receivers in stride. He also floats his mid to deep balls a lot which gives defenders time to get in position to make a play on the ball or the receiver.

Huntley gives the Ravens the ability to run their original offense whether Lamar or Huntley is in there. GRo's offense is only designed to have 1 successful WR and TE. We will continue to see Lamar or Huntley throw outs and crossing patterns to the TE(s). It's damn near impossible to have a qb throw for 4-5k yards not using more than one WR or TE. I doubt we ever see Lamar do that because GRo's scheme isn't designed for it.

yall gotta stop with this bullshyt always using Roman as a scapegoat

Lamar and Huntley combined for 4k passing yards last year

thats with Lamar playing like trash half the season and Huntley dink & dunking

if Lamar plays better theres no reason he cant throw for 5k...im not trying to hear that Roman bs anymore

and @ "he doesn't seem to be able to hit receivers in stride"

well Huntley doesnt seem to be able to hit the receivers at all but yall keep hyping that trash ass nikka

 

[its2late2hate]

Huntley is so obviously a 1 read QB, take away his first and his progression game is trash. just look at the green bay game we lost on the goal line .

I didn't hype up Huntley. No one can deny that they can't run plays designed for Lamar with Huntley. Does Huntley run them as well as Lamar? Hell no because if he did, he'd be starting somewhere else or we'd be talking about a legitimate qb controversy every year they're on the roster together.

Brown is a better passer, but Huntley doesn't disrupt the offensive scheme. That's what it boils down to. Can an offense be ran exactly the same with the backup qb? If yes, that enhances the backup qbs value astronomically for that team. If no, that's going to hinder your offense and the ability of your coordinator if they have a lower ability to adjust. Wink and GRo don't make timely in game adjustments. Thankfully, Wink is someone elses problem. Jury is still out on McDonald, but we should have a better idea after the Bills, Patriots and Dolphins game because the Bills and Pats have great coaches who are going to exploit weaknesses. Dolphins have a ton of talent, so it should test their ability to scheme up ways to negate said talent.

I stand by the passing game statement. Lamar will never pass for 5k passing yards under Greg Roman. I don't care who he has at WR or TE. The system is designed to force feed 1 WR and 1 TE. GRo's scheme is not designed for a 5k yard passer. I dont think Bateman or Andrews will be the first guy to have over 2k yards receving. Anyway, they will run the ball on an elite level, but GRo's passing offense, scheme and route combinations won't allow it.

I honestly would attribute any changes to the passing game to Keith Williams and Tee Martin at this point because of GRo's track record.

I wouldnt say hes a 1 read QB

its more like he knows his limitations so he doesnt even attempt throws he knows he cant make

I disagree

its on the QB to actually look for other receivers

its not Romans fault Lamar only looked to throw to Andrews & Hollywood

maybe with Hollywood gone Lamar doesnt have to worry about pleasing his friend anymore and he'll start spreading the ball around more

in years past I'd agree with you about Roman but I didnt have a problem at all with the scheme last year

oline and injuries is what mainly held them back last year not the scheme

and IMO no offense is designed to have a 5k yard passer.Its on the QB to elevate the O to that point

you can still have a great passing game without throwing for 5k

look at last year,the Bucs were the only team that threw for 5k

Bengals,Chargers,Cowboys,Chiefs,Rams, etc all have great passing attacks and did crack 5k

does that mean their scheme isnt designed for a 5k yard passer?

we had the #6 offense last year and finished like 12th in passing and thats with a shytty oline,a defense that couldnt get off the field,and 70% of the team being injured

at some point yall gotta stop with this Roman shyt cause hes not the problem anymore

its on the players to step up and perform

 

[its2late2hate]

agree. After last season, you can clearly see the changes in Roman’s scheme. The part I don’t know is if he only opened things up because of the injuries or if he truly diversified his offense. but his offense isn’t nearly a big of an issue and cats make it out to be. If the defense could stop a cold. we would have been 10-7 easily even with Lamar missing last 5 games.
