Trouble brewing in Baltimore?

Until the league shifts back to run first, NTs are a dying breed like FBs.

Can we expect to be in the bottom half of run defense then like last year??

The point is it doesn't matter, the Cheifs were one spot ahead of us and they won the Superbowl, The Bears were #1 and they were picking first in the draft. Besides I don't know what good a traditional NT does against a league that primarily is running zone stretch concepts.

There is something about the man who has a " substitute teacher " quailty, which gas lights divas to act. He is not respected by the players who don't 100% buy into the team goals. He is too much to a player's type if coach and that includes the divas who walk all over him.

Hmmm, they either "walk all over him" or he lies and then runs to cover up his lies, without being a real man, and then they take advantage.

Perhaps, but it's not a deal breaker -- the Chiefs gave up more YPC and only 31 fewer rushing yards.

I took a look at Jackson's Twitter page. There is an old lady locked in a bird cage ( rather symbolic I think ), a post that he wants to be traded on March 27 2023, and some political stuff I would rather not comment on.

But nothing about the current situation. No mere starting WR on the Ravens will dare speak out against big money Lamar ...that is if he wants to remain on the Ravens.

Comparing us to K.C.? You mean the team that has the best QB and coach in the NFL? OK. If we had our team in order with those 2 items, my guess is we'd be quite better.

So then what does a traditional nose tackle matter.

It fits with our team concept, get it yet?

WTF is Harbaugh talking about?!? .... "Lamar will be remembered as the GOAT QB of the league...."

[Joel Buchsbaum]

Lamar Jackson misses training camp practice for third straight day due to illness, per report. 3 practices? One more and I say something is wrong with him.

Reading where BAL defense is having no fun defending against D. Henry. Between Henry, Chubb, Harris, the AFCN is going the way of old school slugfest.

Logan Wilson of the Bengals agrees: "There's never an easy game out there...."

The Ravens/Steelers/Browns building teams to compete in the AFC North. The Bengals are building a team to compete with KC.

Burrow is a solid franchise QB and it makes sense to build around his arm. The rest of the AFCN QBs haven't set the world on fire with their arms.

it was the Bengals defense.

They shut KC down multiple times by changing defense at the half. KC couldn’t figure it out. But I think that DC is gone and so is some of that talent on D which is why we had no problem carving them up last year.
