Re: Game Thread Ravens @ Browns 11/03
I think the point is that they rested on their laurels with the offense. Think back to before that 5 game stretch where Flacco just went off, did you really believe that the Ravens didn't need to add ANYTHING on offense? Even during that run it was clear that we needed more. Boldin couldnt get separation, granted he didn't need it. Torrey and Jacoby were inconsistent at best. The only passing threat we had that consistently got open and made plays every game was Dennis Pitta. Rice struggled during that run.
Yes, they needed the bodies on defense but they also needed to add more ammunition on offense and they opted to ignore it. The Ravens brass basically sent the message that status quo on offense was all they needed but they forgot that the status quo that they had wasn't very good to begin with.

If we would call some more shorter/quicker pass plays we could mitigate some of the damage of the poor OL.
But we don't.

Everybody thought that Caldwell was this genius based off that short stretch and all our problems on offense were gone with Cam.
I always thought that in this league, you need to be able to score and IMHO, saying Pitta was going to make up for Boldin's production as if he were Gronkowski just didn't sit well with me.
We need to build this around Joe, however we do it, get him as many weapons as possible and score points.
I think this defense would have been practically around the same level if it just picked up Doom and picked Elam without any of the other pickups.
Get a good pass rush and some guys who can play a good safe cover 2 and try and get guys who can light up a scoreboard.

According to Walsh, talent on defense was essential and could not be compensated for. What did Walsh do in 1981? He acquired physical and talented players on defense.
