Re: Ravens spend way more cap money on offense than defense
New England doesn't draft/play WRs with low football IQs. That is a HUGE "secret" to their success. They have a complicated offensive scheme where the WR and QB need to be on the same page pre-snap and then make the right reads post-snap. They don't really care about a WR having dominant physical ability (with some exceptions like Randy Moss and Rob Gronkowski) They can afford to take guys in the middle rounds because other teams (like the Ravens) overvalue physical talent at the WR position.
BB is also one of, if not the best, coaches in NFL history in terms of developing players' football IQ. There was a video out years ago of BB personally coaching up his linebackers as they prepared to play the Vikings. He could tell on film that Adrian Peterson had a "tell" which direction a run play would go based on how he placed his feet pre-snap. Just a tiny example of his football IQ and the way he tries to impart it to his players. I hate the man and think he's a shameless cheater but you have to give him credit when due.
I don't know if that kind of approach would even work for the Ravens. I don't know if our scheme is sophisticated enough nor our QB intelligent enough to operate at that level. The Ravens as a whole are generally not an "outsmart you" type of team.

Ravens spend way more cap money on offense than defense
The qb and the offense would need to have more then one year in a system before you could ever expect any kind of sophisticated approach. That just hasent happened nor do I ever see it happening hell even having a year of the same system would be a miracle as it's what the 4th or 5th system in as many years. You just can't win like this

Re: Ravens spend way more cap money on offense than defense
Yeah avoiding drafting a WR becuase they're not good at it seems like a poor choice UNLESS you chose to put FA money towards it instead.
I.E. We draft NT's very well. We don't draft WR's well. So give Alshon Jeffrey 10M per year instead of Brandon Williams. The likihood of replacign Williams is higher than replacing SSSR"Cause if you ain’t pissed off for greatness, that just means you’re okay with being mediocre, and ain’t no man in here okay with just basic.”

Ravens spend way more cap money on offense than defense
I think people would feel a lot better about the team right now. Would have been a really nice offseason. Would have got a complementary receiver, SS , 2 cbs, Rush, olb, nt. It would actually look like a football team. Only hole would be a center
If they still draft Goose deuce then you could try Lewis at center. Stanley, Goose 2nd,Lewis,Yanda, Wagner could work and you would have a lot of meat on the lineLast edited by Goode05; 05-19-2017 at 01:43 PM.
