Our receiving corps is a sad state right now...

Kubiac's scheme didn't allow for that imo. He(Joe) had his moments when he did and kubiac changed the play call accordingly. I don't even think the coaching staff recognizes that tendency. I've never heard a post game interview that suggest he needs to utilize the whole receiving corp and effectively. I'd go to sleep too, if you refuse to throw me the ball. A couple of plays a game (if not more) the receivers must cursing Flacco on the way back to the huddle. Somebody buy Flacco some contacts/near-far sighted. Near sighted cause I saw it (why didn't he) Far sighted because he needs to be consistent going forward.

It's just that when you have 1 receiver who is so much more dominant and good than all the others, he is just about always going to be the #1 read on any passing play that is called.  The deeper into the progressions that a receiver is on a particular play, the lesser the chance that they are found in the progressions, thus a lower chance that the ball will be thrown to them.  Even if they're open.  With the offensive line troubles we've had this year and with Steve Smith being so good at getting open, the first read just happens to most often be the place the ball is going to go, and that's why Steve Smith gets the ball so often.  Usually the open receiver that people are complaining about Flacco not finding is the 3rd or 4th read, and he's got a pass rush bearing down on him, so he never gets to them before he's already had to make a decision.  When Steve Smith isn't on the field, the play calls are different and/or who is plugged in as the #1, #2, #3, #4 read on the play gets shuffled around more, so the ball gets distributed to more receivers.  That's just because nobody else is clearly better than the rest the way Steve Smith is, so the progressions get shuffled around and the play calls get drawn up to get the ball to those other guys.  It's not that Joe chooses to lock onto Smith and ignores or can't see the other receivers, it's just a function of the play calls and progressions when he's on the field that means he's going to see the ball a lot more often.  It's a symptom of having 1 great receiver and a bunch of average to bad ones.

Well he is in the Ravens' universe.

[ravensdfan]

Well he is in the Ravens' universe.

He is being used as a #1. Does not make him one.

[January J]

Well he is in the Ravens' universe.

Lol literally took the words out my mouth. This is our reality whether it's ideal or not.

[Kid87]

Lol for the rest of this season he is for us

[Deflated Football]

Lol for the rest of this season he is for us

And that's pathetic. 

[ALSKAN RAVEN FAN]

Is it just me or does it seem like the Raven WR's should be so excited to get their chance to show what they can do in a real NFL game against a real NFL DB but they all seem to play like it's practice? I just don't see the intensity from them. All great WR's have one thing in common and that's they want the ball every play and mostly when the game is on the line deep in the 4th quarter. With exception of SSS none of our guys seem to be that way.

It is what it is for sure. You would think some of these guys would know they are auditioning for their NFL futures.

[ravenz2752]

I think it'll be 

 

1. Kamar Aiken

2. Breshad Perriman (when he returns)

3. Chris Givens

4. Jeremy Ross

5. Jeremy Butler

6. Joe Morgan

7. Marlon Brown

[thieverycorporation]

Brown sticks around for special teams. Nothing more.

IMO Kamar Aiken is stepping up. That game against the Chargers was one of his biggest yet. I think he needs better support talent around him to be better utilized.

I think hes going to put up some numbers now by default, we have no one else to throw to really unless butler, givens, or ross step up.  Sometimes you dont have to be the prettiest girl at the bar....just the only girl at the bar (aiken)

I still believe that our best acquisition is Chris Givens....  We shall see though.

[usmccharles]

Id say he is our best wr at the moment, hopefully we scheme for him and just dont use him as a deep threat.  get him some quick slants, i think he could be big for us.  Im hoping to see some of Ross and Butler though

[ALSKAN RAVEN FAN]

I definitely would like to see more of him too Just my opinion but I think he should be starting.

[Deflated Football]

I'm really excited for Chris Givens. He should be number one on the depth chart. He's hungry and that's what we need at the WR position instead of the tentative players we have now. 

[PurpleCity5]

Givens should absolutely start over Marlon Brown, is this even a question? 

[Deflated Football]

Givens should absolutely start over Marlon Brown, is this even a question? 

As he should over Aiken as well. Givens has more big play ability. 

[PurpleCity5]

Yeah but who would be the other starter? Givens and who? 

[hawkprey]

I know the group is Aiken but they just have to shake off the Ross and not Givens to pressure. 

[Deflated Football]

Aiken unfortunately. I meant Givens should be number one on the depth chart

Ok, this is really good lol

Oh ok, I was confused there for a sec.

 

I'm certain once Perriman gets back to health(HOPEFULLY) he'll start.

100% agree!

Perriman will see the field for sure once/if he gets healthy they still need to evaluate what he has to offer. I hope he  turns some heads.

Save some of them for the offseason.

[PurpleCity5]

I'm with you, for the sake of evaluation too. I would love to see Perriman cook as well.

I hear he makes a mean stew.
