No way we can keep Stone at this point, right?
They can, but they need to prioritize Madubuike. That interior pressure and these sacks are the difference.

When's the last time you heard Stephens or Marlon named called on allowing a touchdown? These qbs are terrified of the pass rush and just trying to get rid of the ball. Geno can truly roam as a FS because of the dline.

The only teams capable of beating them are teams with strong interior olines. We have seen McDonald dial up pressure from the edge with Worley and Hamilton, so he has ways to adjust if the pressure is stopped up the middle, but Madubuike is the cog that drives the pass rush. We'll see what happens later on in the season.

When the Ravens play the Chiefs, if their interior oline shuts down Madubuike and the blitzes, it won't be Geno Stone saving them. They gotta keep these qbs uncomfortable and keep punishing them. If you've played football, pressure will always be more valuable than coverage because eventually good receivers will find a way to get open. shyt, the way the rules are written and how much these refs cheat, even if they don't get open, it'll be illegal contact, holding or PI.
