LOL. - OK

Webb isn't any good. I don't know why Ozzie ever gave this guy a long term deal.

Umm, Jimmy Smith is an average corner.

Has Jimmy ever really played well? Played well with any consistency? Spoiler alert: the answer is "no"

I really hope we can end the Ladarius Webb experiment soon.

Nice job Smith and Webb.

The Raiders are the best team we played so far and their defense isn't really good (ranked 31st). We lost the game. So, I'd say we won't fare very well. Washington is ranked 28th in total defense and we have what, 10 points?

There is a history here. The poor secondary has been years in the making: 1. Reed retires - he is an HOF player 2. We sign Dominique Foxworth and pay him big $$. A huge mistake by Ozzie - the guy could never play. 3. We draft Matt Elam. Another big mistake by Ozzie. 4. Ladarius Webb a.k.a. Dominique Foxworth part II. Another huge mistake by Ozzie. They give this bum a nice contract. He hasn't done squat. He is a joke and on his way out the door, 5. We swap parts at CB opposite Jimmy Smith (who is solid, not spectacular) using other teams trash and castoffs. As if putting on a Ravens jersey is going to make them good. The shine wore off this defense a long time ago. The players that made this team great are long gone. The secondary is a mess. Weddle was a good signing but what he can do remains to be seen over the next 12 games. Our GM was great in the day, but if we're honest he has had a lot - a lot of misses over the past few years.

I agree. Joe has 4 TDs, 4 picks, and a QB rating that puts him in the company of Brock Osweiler and Blake Bortles. He needs to take ownership of his results whether that is changing calls at the line, whatever. He is making too much $$ for the type of results we're seeing. He's better than this - he has to be.

I agree with you. I'm a new poster but have been a fan and ticket holder since game #1 in 1996. Joe has family close by and an army of supporters in the area. Make your way outside the Maryland Delaware area though and talk football - people don't think much of Flacco. Now I love the Ravens always have always will. They haven't had many good quarterbacks. Flacco is average and that was enough back in the day. But now he is being paid to be the man and carry the team. He isn't good enough for that. If he doesn't pick up his level of play soon (I hope he does) he won't be around long at this price. There are many areas of need on this team.

Question: Is Flacco allowed to change plays at the line? I know the selection would be limited based on the personnel they have in at the moment, but at times I wonder if Joe makes changes to plays called if he doesn't like what he sees or doesn't like what is called.

Yes I agree. We struggled to beat 3 bad teams - now things are looking dicey. Hope we can pick things up in the second half.

Wow, I couldn't agree more. Very happy we won, but man if not for that "penalty" we are probably 1-1. I'm still not sure (after all these years) what to make of Webb. He had that one nice run a few years ago and is still living off of it.

LOL I know right? < 50 % completion rate so far. Jeez.
