Mike Preston: Ravens' inconsistent offense a major cause for concern | COMMENTARY
Hidden beneath the Ravens' 24-point victory against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday was the erratic performance of an offense that has lost its identity from a year ago. Its only consistency is its inconsistency.
Go ahead, celebrate the victory.
The Ravens had seven sacks against a rookie quarterback with an awful offensive line. They held the Bengals to 205 yards of total offense and three-for-16 on third-down conversions. They had a 17-point advantage at the end of the first half and limited Cincinnati to 12 first downs while scoring 14 points of two Bengals turnovers.
But there is still an uneasy feeling about this team and its offense. It’s fair to give the Ravens the first four weeks of the regular season to show progress, but there hasn’t been much. Last season, they produced the strongest running game in the history of the NFL featuring a quarterback that had some of the most explosive moves since late Chicago Bears running back Gale Sayers in the 1960′s.
Lamar Jackson was so dynamic that he was named the league’s Most Valuable Player, beating out stars such the Kansas City Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes and the Seattle Seahawks' Russell Wilson. Yet after Sunday’s performance, it’s fair to wonder, who are these masked men on the Ravens offense, and what in the world are they trying to accomplish?
The Ravens had 332 yards of total offense, but they were out of sync. Of their 11 offensive possessions, excluding the final kneel-down to end the game, only one lasted more than seven plays: a 15-play touchdown drive in the first quarter. Thanks goodness for the defense.

“We need to get back to how we were last year,” Jackson said after the game. “We go out there, and we perform at a high level like we do. I’ll say we’re fine though. We’ll get to practice, and we’re going to regroup and watch film, and we’re going to get right.
“I would say the little things right now. With us on offense — just keep getting first downs when we’re on third down. Converting – that’s probably what I would say is our biggest downfall — is converting and finishing drives. We get better at that, [and] we’re going to be good.”

The ravens are in trouble if the coach is talking like this
Lamar has to get better throwing outside the numbers and he needs to go through his passing progressions. He's only looking at Andrews and Hollywood on passing downs and everyone on defense knows where he wants to go with the ball. I know it sounds drastic, but they need to take Andrews and Hollywood out of the game in certain situations to get Lamar to go through his progressions. Another thing, Lamar throws 95% of his passes in the middle of the field. GRO is calling a lot of passing plays, but majority of Lamar's passes go to these two receivers. He needs to get better throwing outside the numbers and take an occasional deep shot to Duvernay/Proche.
I think this offense would do better putting Duvernay outside as the X/Z and moving Boykins inside to the Y. He's got a big body, but plays a little smaller than his frame at times, however, in my opinion he will flourish playing inside matched up against linebackers and safeties. Duvernay is good enough to start for this offense and Boykins size is not being utilized in his current alignment. This guy needs to develop some confidence or get the fukk off the field. I bet if Boykins was moved inside, had a monster game and Duvernay had a long touchdown, we'd see a significant change in the way defenses are playing this team.
The defense played better this week, but the Bengals are pretty bad on the offensive line, so 7 sacks is no surprise.
