Who Do The Ravens Miss Most?

36 posts in this topic

Ryan. Should of been the coach. Our second ILB spot has not been THAT bad this season we have gotten some production from it. Leonhard for punt returning but I don't remember him steping up that much last year. Landry has played better then him IMO.

Ryan should be the coach? Rex is still begging the Bengals to throw the game so he can squeak into the playoffs. Would be a shame if they made the SB after getting 2 gifts from teams benching their starters.

Answer is simple, AD. We havent had a pass rushing threat opposite Suggs since 06, and the pass rush has been lackluster since.

Of the players mentioned by the OP?

I'd have to go with Bart Scott slightly over Jim Leonhard. One thing Scott did consistently well was get pressure on the quarterback, though maybe that's just me being a revisionary historian.

Leonhard was like another defensive coordinator on the field, basically. He might not have been the most talented or the most physically gifted (though his on-field play was far from poor) but he meant a lot to the cohesion and unity of our defense.

The good news, as has been pointed out in this thread, is that our defense has still been really solid this year. Maybe not by Ravens standards, but they're damn lofty.

By the way, and I know it doesn't count, who I really miss most is Lardarius Webb. Get well soon, buddy.
