Yeah, its not likely, but is sure does put the first 5 games into a harrowing perspective. Ravens are on pace to be the first team in NFL history to give up 600 points in a season - NBC Sports https://share.google/50omF11PiaVqiieuR

Yeah then slipped down trying to evade a tackle. Went down easy cutting or trying to on a kickoff or two as well.

Papa, thoughts on Mitchell? Is it just me or is he way over rated? Seems he is easy to tackle, and constantly losing his feet when he runs, trying to run faster. Am i just seeing him wrong?

Warhop took over by default because of a dewth to D'Alessandris mid stream. He claimed then that he would keep things the same short term, then implement his styles as he became familiar with the offensive system and players. Well, clearly the line has gotten worse since then. 1900 + yards rushing last year, top 3 offense. This year, great first game but bubka since. Injuries are not the issue, adjustments to rhe way defenses are playing the run, rushing the passer. Adjustments? None If it were just Noteboom being the issue when fillinf in for Stanley this game, injury could be used. But no, it is the entire line. He has to go

Harbs was completely wrong to say anything about the play calling; it is not the issue. The clear issue is talent/player development. Sorry to say but Rose has been an issue at right tackle, no push in the running game, struggling still in pass protection. He is lacking talent or is he getting bad coaching? If it is talent, then who said yes, draft him besides Eric? Cause that would be another miss. Who said Vorhees, besides me, was worth drafting hurt, because he was a great college guard who is now barely passable. He too struggles getting a push in the run game and has whiffes in pass protection. He too has not developed. Talent or coaching? Faalele, he was a project coming out of college, not good at pass protection as a tackle, lacked good push in the run game because, supposedly he had bad form not for a lack of strength. Well, here we are, he is a guard for year 2 and still has the same issues. So he too has not developed, coaching or talent or both? Meanwhile, the best guard on the team, Ben Cleveland, struggled in practice mostly because of his drinking and wife issues. Both have been solved and he has excelled when ever he gets the chance, whether at guard or center. Clearly it is talent with him, developed despite the coaching. Yet, because of ? He doesn't get a chance to play unless it is the preseason, hmmm Outside of the Bills game, the 1stnof the season, this team cant run the ball consistently. The line cant give any qb consistent time in the pocket. Why? Coaching Now defense Last year, bad early, very, very good as the season went on. This year, bad early, horribly bad against an average at best offense in the Texans. Oh, I know, missing 5 starters. But should that make that big of a deal? Not forcing a punt at all? No player development, not on the defensive line, not at the linebacker. I won't blame too much on the pourus secondary, they didn't stand a chance. But none of the edge rushers drafted in the last 5 years has panned out: none of them. Oh Owe getting 10 last was a) and abortion b) done mostly against bad teams when the game was over. Never when the team needed them, late in close games, nor in the playoffs. Linebackers, outside of Smith, who is clearly showing his age and has lost a few steps, no drafted backer has panned out. Even the 4th round pick Buchanan is clearly too slow to play middle linebacker at this level. Leave him on special teams where speed is not an issue. He has no vision, no instincts, cant find the ball to fill the proper hole and make a stop at the LOS, Simpson has the speed, but he too seems to lack instinct, taking wrong angles, negating his quickness. So no development at rush end, nor at the linebacker level. Coaching? Talent? Again, who agrees with Eric, on the coaching staff, that a player should be drafted in their position group? Because they clearly, just like the offensive line coach, needs to be fired. If Harbs refuses to fire coaches then he too should go out the door. / rant

Kickoff is the the Ravens 2, Ali returns it to the 33 Let's see if the offense can score and the defense can force a punt Pass to the right flat for 3 Wide receiver screen, no one blocks, Flowers tackled for a 4 yard loss 3rd and 11 0 blitz, Ruah gets it out to Likely over the middle for 12 Oh bad choice, play fake, Rush forces a throw in the flat to Henry, under cut, picked off, I'm done

The Ravens are going to be last in the North, top 5 draft pick. The Browns at least have a defense, the Bengals have a better defense than the Ravens

I was going to switch over to the Cowboys game but the Jets are just as putrid as the Ravens 23-3 Boys

Texans playing at a high level? Ah, I think not, the Ravens are playing at a horrible level Please, change one of the guards, see if that can make a difference in the run game. Take out Buchanan, green dot or not, put an extra dB or safety in, he is horrible. Doesn't fill the run hole, doesn't get to the outside fast enough, he is just too slow and has no vision

Kickoff is to the 2, Ali returns it to the 26 Rush pass to Andrews who fights for 12 yards, timeout Ravens, 1 left Will we see a 70 field goal attempts? 16 seconds left Rush to Hopkins for 17, gets popped but hangs on, last time out called 8 seconds Rush looks, rolls slightly throws to Andrews along the sidelines but out of bounds. Illegal contact on them, gains 10 yard 55 yard field goal attempt is no good, wide right, half ends

Coaching changes have to happen, whether that is Harbs included or not. New defensive coordinator, new offensive line coach, new dB coach, new linebackers coach These guys must stink as nobody is developing & or their judgement on players they want is terrible.

Play fake, naked boot, pass in the flat is off target 3rd down 4 0 blitz, chases Stroud for a 10 yard sack, by Martin, penalty on the play, off side 1st down Run right end, Buchanan gets into the back field but takes wrong angle and misses the tackle. End does not contain, gain of 8 Urban, Owe chase Stroud, cant make the sack, pass complete for 12 yards. Timeout Houston 57 seconds Pass in the middle for 21 yard to the Ravens 20 Pass to the right flat, Martin breaks it up, flag on the play by Martin 1st and goal Back shoulder throw touchdown, Tampa beat this time 24-3 Texans, 28 seconds left

I don't want to hear excuses on how Buchanan is a rookie, he has played middle linebacker for many years, he stinks, no wonder he was undrafted

End around left for Collins gets 8 No one holding the edge No linebacker flow Chubb around right end, breaks a tackle, no one getting off blocks gets 5 Pass in the short middle for 6 Neither middle backer saw him come out of the backfield. This is a class on how NOT to play defense 2 min warning

Kickoff is the Ravens 4, Mitchell returns it to the 35 5:31 False start oy, Likely flinched Mitchell off the right end, for 1 Maybe they should switch guards 2nd and 14 Swing pass to Mitchell on the left gets 6 3rd and 8 Man coverage Screen pass for Hill who drops it, penalty on the play, intelligible player down field, declined, 4th down Stout boots it to the Texans 23, downed So, will they get a field goal or touchdown is the only question

Ravens cant run the ball, cant protect Rush, the defense cant stop the run nor the pass. If their was ever a day to start drinking beer again, this would be it..mm

Kickoff is to the Ravens 3, Mitchell returns it to the 25 11:13 left i half Play fake, pass to Bateman over the middle, ball just tipped, incomplete 2nd and 10 Henry right end for 2 3rd and 8 Rush under pressure, tries to get a pass away, cant, tries to escape, cant, sacked for a 16 yard loss Stout boots it to their 30, 62 yards, returned for 5 Penalty on the Ravens, going out of bounds to avoid a block, rekick 4th and 29 Fake punt time? Lol From his endzone Hits at the Ravens 45, bounces backward, not very good From the Ravens 42 Pass in the left flat for 6 Chubb to left for a gain of 1, Starks filled the hole nicely 3rd and 3 8 mins left in the half Unreal, Stroud forced to flee, runs past several Raven defenders, Buchanan finally realizes it, takes wrong angle, he gets to the 4 30 yards Chubb right side for no gain, Urban on the stop 2nd and goal Buchanan has the tightend coverage in the right flat, gets beat like a dead horse touchdown. But offensive pi brings it back 6:24 left in half 2nd goal from the 13 Pass in the right flat complet for 3, Wiggins on the stop 3rd and goal Ravens defense confused, Harbs calls a timeout All day to throw, hits Collins over the middle for a touchdown, no backers in the middle 17-3 Texans, game, set, match

One full drive for each team, Texans with their 2nd possession From their 48 2nd and 7 Play fake, all day to throw, tosses to Chub up the middle who drops it 3rd and 7 Pass in the middle between 2 defenders, no pressure, complete for 10 Run right, no one home goes for 12 Pass to the left flat, wide open goes for 9 Run up the middle, cuts left threw a hole, gets 9 but holding on them brings it back 2nd and 11 Linebackers are not filling properly Run up the middle gets 6, an easy 6 3rd and 5 Pass play, VanNoy and a host of others break through for a huge sack shared with Buchanan 50 yard field goal is good 10-3 Texans

Kickoff is to the Texans 5, returned to the 30 Ravens had a 7 min drive, well done 1:52 left in the 1st quarter Pass to the short right for 9 Run to the left for Chub for 5 Run up the middle for 3, Buchanan with the main tackle End of quarter

A real nice drive mostly thanks to Rush who was deadly accurate on some very tough throws, tight windows, over dbs, while being hit, fantastic.

Kickoff is to the Ravens Mitchell and Ali back Mitchell from the 2, steps out of bounds at the 25 Henry to the right guard, no gain Hill to the right for 5, but Likely was in motion and went forward at the snap backs em up 5 Rush hits Flowes short middle who dances and dodges for a gain of 8 3rd and 5 Rush over the middle, tight window to Andrews for a gain of 15 Henry left guard for 1 Rush rolls out, finds Kolar for 13 Henry to the left side for 4 Noteboom in for Stanley Henry left side, no gain 2nd and 10 from the Texans 45 Under 5 mins left in 1st quarter Rush under pressure, hit Hopkins for a gain of 30 Inside hand-off to Mitchell around left end for a gain of 7 Henry right guard no gain 3rd and 3 from the 10 Wide receiver screen for Flowers gets nothing Field goal time From 27 is good 7-3 Texans

Here we go, the Ravens using a largely preseason team, Texans, their first team. The Texans may have revenge on their minds, the Ravens whooped em good, 35-2, the last time they played in December Ravens kickoff, kickoff to the 5, fake reverse has the return to the Texans 33 Run right, Chubb only gets 2, Green on the stop. Pass over the middle to Collins, wide open, backer doesn't get deep enough, good for 25 Pass deep right, too far, incomplete Hamilton is out for the game Hand off up the middle, Jenkins had him stopped for a loss but misses, Chubb gets 8 3rd and 2 Hand off left, easy 6 yard gain From the Ravens 22 Play fake, quick throw short right, tackled right away, gain of 6 Run left gets 1 Ravens need a pick, maybe a pick 6 3rd and 3 Play fake, tight end sneaks out left in the flat, easy 1st down to the 5 Run up the middle is stuffed, Urban with the tackle for no gain 2nd and goal Play fake, easy pass to the right flat for a touchdowno Lowery was beat like a drum 7-0 Texans

Billy boy is failing badly, 3 loses, all by 25 or more. The team is worse than before he took over

Yeah, while his line isnt helping him, he would be very wise to stay in college

Have we seen enough of Arch Manning to say; he just doesn't have it?
