IN DEFENSE. Its time to step up.

We gave up +401.3 yards in avg per game. Never once has our defense gave up that much yards in Ravens history.

This is getting ridiculous.

First thing in the list: Blow out and shut down the Browns.

Next is Cowgirls where we really show our colors. Lets get our defense back on track

D-E-F-E-N-S-E!

[Cville-Raven]

We're going to really have to reload on defense in this next years draft.

Pees is the problem. Mattison 2.0

Our defensive line is the problem. Can't pass rush and stop the run when Ngatas being doubled, tripled teamed.

Cary has also done horrible.

[RivenHale]

Find us at the end of the year. Even if you don't like Pees, trust in Ray. No way a guy like that lets the O take all the credit. I've got total faith in our guys.

Yes, even Cary Williams.

Yup, Mattison had some poorly ranked defenses, didnt he? Oh wait.... (and with less of a personnel)

Pees is not the problem. The problem is we are missing our best player and have played 3 pretty good offenses.

[RavensAllTheWay]

The biggest issues include the lack of pass rush and Pees' scheme, which has guys running wide open in zones.

[SizzleSuggs55]

I think as Baltimore fans we love seeing pressure and seeing our guys get after opposing quarterbacks, were so used to it, its the way we play football... and with Pee's it's all zone, and straight up defensive schemes. I wanna see some more organized chaos!!

[SideStep77]

I don't think you can blame a ton on Cary because if the QB is given loads of time to throw, he's going to make a good throw. The D starts with the pash rush and ends with the DBs.

Yea but Cary is always giving the underneath throw, he's like terrified of getting beat deep, and Brady abused him alot more than he did Jimmy.

Our DL stinks so.......lets rush 3 guys? Luckily he made adjustments vs the Pats or we would have lost.

Yeah this is pretty accurate. The thing with Cary is he almost always has good position, but he gets picked on with back shoulder throws a lot because he doesnt turn and locate the ball. He always plays the receiver and never turns to find the ball. The Pats also got away with a couple of push-offs on him. One was blatant and didnt get a call. Most of the big plays against our D came on blown coverage or lack of pass-rush allowing WRs to find soft spots in zones.

I think that was part of the plan. Play vanilla at first and ratchet up the pressure in the 4th quarter when needed.

I really believed McPhee would break out this year, but as of now he's nothing but situational pass rusher. I really miss Redding, but in a year or two he'll probably be done. Maybe even this year.

It's actually pretty disappointing because i was so high on him last year. I am just surprised at his play these first 3 games..hopefully he turns it around. But i'm going to go and give him a pass for the pats game because as you noted he doesn't play the ball so Brady was able to fit it into some tight spots.

This took the words out of my mouth.

No one is happy but we got some quality wins. Time to take it on the road. That will be our test.

We have a very difficult schedule and I always think the Ravens have a chance to win every game but it just isn't gonna happen. Make the playoffs is all that matters

[GTRavens]

So...why are we going by yards instead of points, again?

So...why are we going by yards instead of points, again?

Ive always said this as well, but I guess its cause a pick 6 or kick return would play a role in determining the rankings when they shouldnt. I do agree, however!

[hawkprey]

Pees needs to stop blitzing Webb all the time and let him lock down their #1 on the outside. Jimmy should be in the slot. And bring back McClain as the starting ILB because Ellerbe can't cover. Teams are getting all their yards over the middle of the field and on the edge against Cary. Use him in press more or have Jimmy start over him.
