I'd be even happier if this wasn't Lucks backup.

Most are our backups too...  We're not playing our offensive starters...

[Sami84]

nothing has changed

[harfordravenfan]

Does suck seeing all cb's playing 10 yards off man constantly

[Steve0x]

Why wasn't he covered?

[Zeus]

Any and every pass can be completed..

[A Fish Called Yanda]

ZDS looks lost in coverage lol.

Was that Canady?

[Cville-Raven]

Just letting this guy lob passes for completions

[Cillmatic]

Something tells me Z'darius Smith shouldn't be in coverage against WR's....

[Steve0x]

Another bat!

[ludy51]

Urban!

[A Fish Called Yanda]

Great effort from Levine there.

That's Pees for ya... Look at all the passes being completed 

[Grapple Raven]

Nothing is going to change when you look at everything from a negative point of view.

[Cville-Raven]

So dumb

[kjbmore]

well I was interested to see how our secondary looked against the colts and it's fair say to say it's not good

[Zeus]

Just give it away with stupid plays like that 

[ludy51]

Canady!!

The corners choose their depth and leverage

[TurkishRaven]

They always  convert 3rd downs anyway so why not give it to them right?

[ludy51]

Judon!

[ludy51]

And Levine!

[Cillmatic]

Canada is doing pretty good in coverage right now.

[balfan23]

OK - let's tighten up this cover and get a 3rd down stop. 

[ludy51]

Where's Tavon Young at?

For the last few years I've really bought into the "Pees does what he can with the players he has" kinda thinking.  Obviously this is preseason and we need to wait until the whole defense is in, but the most troubling thing to me is the lack of adjustments we have seen.  I think its very telling that the same complaints come up every single preseason and season, i.e. guys playing too far off the ball and the bend but don't break defense.  The Ravens are a very smart organization, it just seems like someone would have come up with some sort of adjustment over the past few years

Not impressed with Wright, there is a reason they keep throwing his way, 2nd game in a row. Powers needs improvement too. Do we have ither options?
