Wow, just saw this on ESPN, I knew it wad bad but; the Ravens have been outscored in the 4th quarter, ready, 71 to 25. Just in the 4th quarter through 7 games.
Yes a lot of that is on the defense, something happens to then;
out schemed, not likely but some, the players are there to make the play but fail.
Conditioning, oldno mentioned this earlier, very likely. I've seen players fall down rushing the passer over and over, a clear sign they are tired, even with all of the substitutions they do.
We also see players in the secondary unable to keep up with receivers they had previously shut down for 3 quarters, a clear sign they are tires.
We see more scheme break downs, a clear sign of mental fatigue.
A loss of strength, unable to dominate at the Los, get pressure on the qb, more missed tackles, a clear sign of being tired.
7 games in they should have their game wind, keep their strength, know their assignments, be able to keep their speed, yet they don't.
Can this be fixed? Sure, it might be fixed by season's end. Hopefully any way.
