[News] Ravens About To See What Their Young Pass Rushers Can Do

[Drew P]

I'm sure they will come out with that same predictable generic base formation...4th and 1 send an ILB leaving a void in the middle.

Wash, rinse.. repeat.

yannick ngakoue from umd has 11 tackles, 4 sacks, 3 forced fumbles and 1 int thus far in his rookie season. hope correa begins to get going here

[Fastynart]

Why shouldn't they get a shot? We have had absolutely no pass rush before Suggs got hurt. Manning could have eaten a sandwich at a table in his backfield. This is just an extension of what we saw last year.

[Rav'n Maniac]

I still don't know why they won't use Guy and Urban in the outside rush positions. They're are both DE's and are use to rushing from the middle.
Other teams use DE's in rush positions, not everyone uses OLB's to rush.

I like this Ravens Defense it's the Offense that leaves them hanging time and time again! Three game winning drives and the Offense came up "SHOTE"! Missed a 1st down against the raiders and a wide open Mike Wallace against the giants smh if anything the Ravens should be 5-1!!!!!

If you remember correctly they came back against Oakland and Giants to take the lead, just for the Defense to give it right back the very next series. So the Defense was to partially blame in those games.

Both games the Ravens had a chance to pull it out and what happened?! More excuses the raiders always play us close and they do the same against the squeelers and t
Big Ben found a way to beat them and we had a shot against the giants but what happened?! It's time for a change!

have you not been preaching that flacco is your gunslinger. have you decided to toss him to the curb?

I'm praying he doesn't turn into Arthur Brown.

Flacco is holding this team back with his awful decision making. I promise you if he releases the ball quicker he'll easily avoid a lot of hits and sacks. Brady line was awful last year but he released the ball that much quicker.

Been mentioning this exact point. Too bad the coaches aren't seeing this same matter or listening. It's called helping your offensive line out and not hanging them to dry. It's not like it requires brain surgery to adjust.

Who knows maybe they want the top 10 pick next spring?..

If they lose Sunday to a horrible Jets team made even more horrible with Geno Smith a top10 pick will be a reality.

another draft class on display.

Actually could have been 6-0, even with FBAJ's awful play, if someone would have taught Mosely that bowling for touchdowns doesn't count.

[Crusader]

We seen what a good coach like Kubiac could do with this team.

[whobilly]

A two point dog against a DOG team made even worse with Geno Smith at QB. Just a sad fact how we are viewed. SAD.

Could easily be 1-5 as well. Your record says you are what you are. It will even say that if we finish 6-10 or 7-9.

My grandfather had an old saying. "Wish in one hand and poop in the other and see which fills up first." I think that says it all about putting in rookies against proven vets and expecting them to produce. After all, we stuck rookie Tavon Young on Odell Beckham and the next thing we know, Beckham is in the endzone making the entire team look like the 3 stooges as Weddle wipes out Young and Webb looked slower than my grandmother trying to react to him as he ran right by him. Someone made the comment that he looked old and slow and thats because he is old and slow.

We need quality players to rebuild and that isn't happening with 3 picks in the 5th round, 3 in the 6th and a couple in the 7th. Those late rounders need to be turned into trades to move up in the first and second round and get quality players. We are a team of late rounders and we wonder why our rookies aren't faring well in the NFL. We are asking division II players, who couldn't make college teams in division I, to come out and be superstars. It has rarely turned out that way.

If we can't replace good players then we need to figure out how we can keep them. We let McPhee walk and we look at our pass rush, it is non-existant. We let Torrey Smith walk and our wide receivers rank 28th in the league and we let KO and Monroe walk and our offensive line is pathetic. We let high quality players go, replace them with late rounders and expect a miracle to happen. Those days are long gone. This is a different NFL than it was just 5 years ago. This whole sport has been raped of quality by handcuffing the defense so that wide receivers can run up and down the field every week and score 50 points. There will never be another 2000 Ravens because the league has made it so there can't be. We have never been able to draft wide receivers and we don't have an accurate QB so we can't be one of those high scoring teams. Therefore with the NFL rules the way they are and with the way we operate, it looks like the we are going to be bad for awhile.

Guess you didn't watch last year's super bowl, because Denver's defense won that game...we also had 1 pick in the 5th round, 2 in the 6th and zero in the 7th last draft, not the numbers you quoted, so guess you may not have paid attention to that either...and I have to like how trading away most of our picks to get one or two guys in the top round's is a sure fire way to improve this team. We all know that top picks always become quality players and are never injured, meanwhile player's picked in the latter rounds are automatic busts...

And as you may not know, if we had kept and signed the four guys that you mentioned at the prices they were paid, we'd be over the salary cap not only this year, but for the next several years. That's how the league works in reality.

The pass rush is all they have considering the entire line backing core. Dumervil Suggs and Mosley are just too slow and can not keep up with modern offences.

You mean Mosley Mosley too slow? If so then I'm not even gonna attempt to dispute your other claims lol

[DENNYK]

Time to play these younger guys and see if they can cut it in the NFL. Holding onto the question marks only to discover later that they are not ready is not acceptable to the team and the fan base. A lot of talk about the "next man up", but when push comes to shove, many fall short and that is on the coaching as I see it. We seem to draft a lot of guys who wind up falling short in many ways. The list is growing yearly now and that needs to stop if we are ever going to retake the division and get to the post season. We surely are not headed there in 2016.
