The Ravens have failed to address the corner back situation. We drafted tavon young which was good but we need another corner with size that can be our number one if jimmy gets hurt. (An he's hurt a lot) Every year it's the same stuff that we deal with.

...soon as they announced Jimmy Smith was out, I already knew we would be vulnerable in the secondary. Powers and Tavon Young can't cover 6.6", 200+ lbs of Dez Bryant. Tavon is only 175lbs, 5'9. For Dez, it was like taking candy from a baby. I know our mentality is "next man up," but that mentality doesn't always work in our favor...no disrespect to Tavon, he did the best he could.

We need another big corner and a center. Why did we abandon the run? Oh well, the Cowboys ARE pretty good.

Prior to this game last week, I mentioned in here that I "prefer" the taller more physical CB's to these tiny 5'9, 5'11 etc., CB's and a few cats quickly rushed to their defense.  Dez just further validated my view of having bigger corners to cover these strong 6'1, 6'2 and 6'3 receivers.  Then Pees leaves those little guys out there on an island with a 6'2 beast like Dez by themselves?  C'mon man!  It wasn't too hard to see it coming.  5'11 Wright was getting torched and backed down in the endzone like they were on the basketball court...just toss it up!  And then 5'9 Young plays off of him for about 10 yards and then gets skulled dragged by Dez off of the slant routes for nearly 5 yards into the endzone. Maaaan! Just embarrassing! Get the Ravens some BIGGER and more physical corners that can ball in here, please!

Anyone under 6 foot and playing against Witten and Bryant is already at a disadvantage.

Six games to prove we are not the 2015 team. We win 6 in a row and I'll do any chore my wife wants at anytime of the day or night.

Ahhh no no no, Jimi Smith would not have done a better job than Wright/ He is far better than Smith. Not afraid to tackle!, stays with his man. and tries much harder. I hope Smith is out for the rest of the season. Wright will only get better! Smith is always hurt (poor baby) and he really is not good! Ask any football anylist what they think of Smith.........
