varaven45 Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 Did you know that our D is 10th in the league in defense (total yards) ? Pretty damn shocking with our JV, injury riddled and snake bitten bunch. Get the secondary fixed, find a young stud pass rusher, and fortify the LB corps then we can return to a solid top ten D.
vmax Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 yea.....that's nice but they are 22nd in points surrendered and the team is #30 in the give away/ take away.They gave more than they took. That may get them into heaven, but not the playoffs. Here's the points surrendered top 10; Cincy, KC, Seattle, Denver, Ariz, Vikings,. JETS!, NE, Carolina GB.Get the trend? All playoff bound. The SB winning team usually, not always, but usually, is around top 5 in points surrendered. Top 5 O and Top 5 D in this category is almost a lock to go all the way. Another key stat: 3rd down. Ravens D is 26th at getting off the field.
thundercleetz Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 We need turnovers!! Last week was a good start!
varaven45 Posted December 29, 2015 Author Posted December 29, 2015 Got it Max! Was just stating a positive - a silver liner - in spite of the horrific year. Points are what matter and we are near the bottom. Of course, let's not forget the points given away by the QBs - pick 6's and the last second TDs. Still, at the end of day, your right - it's point scored and allowed. Hopefully, we see improvement in that category next season .
Tornado700 Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 D line is solid. Linebackers are a C+. Secondary needs fixing. Easy correction through the draft and free agency.
