Ravens Postgame

[skinsfaninok]

Ron Rivera said bluntly that he wanted to see what Dwayne Haskins would do if they went for it on 4th and goal. He said Haskins needs to learn and understand the situation. He needed to look into the endzone or put it close to where a player could make a player at the goal line.

And he failed. At least take a chance in the end zone, throwing the ball to a guy at the 7 with 3 defenders in front of him was literally wasting the play.

I'm probably one of the few remaining Haskins defenders out there (I still believe it's way too early to make judgement calls to bench him) but he's not helping his case with plays like that.

My only hope is that the deep ball to Terry Mac helps him grow a pair and not be afraid to throw past the first down marker. Right now he's playing out of the Jason Campbell playbook, everything is going within 5 yards of the LOS.

That's fine but I think we can start to see effect of this "it's a process" mode:

After that 4th and goal play the defense got GASHED in the middle on run plays... and I wonder if they'd have play differently had Ron chosed to take the 3 points and make it a 2 possessions game.

Difficult to ask guys to play hard every down when we're not trying to win the game... makes it difficult to grade the D on that game IMO.

I thought the front 7 defense played better against mobile QB this time, they looked a little bit more aggressive in containing Jackson than they did in the Cardinals game with Murray. The secondary is a different story.

Agreed.

It's realy weird, we clearly had an ugly loss to a far better team... but I didn't think the Ravens looked truly dominant.

The loss isn't that ugly, compared to last week. Ravens is a good team but isn't the team to beat - once you stop their running game, you have a good chance of winning the game.
