Full season:

Player	Targ	Rec	Yds	Y/R	TD	Yd/Targ
Gus Edwards	13	9	129	14.3	0	9.9
Willie Snead	48	33	432	13.1	3	9.0
Miles Boykin	33	19	266	14.0	4	8.1
Mark Andrews	88	58	701	12.1	7	8.0
Devin Duvernay	26	20	201	10.1	0	7.73
Marquise Brown	100	58	769	13.3	8	7.69
Nick Boyle	17	14	113	8.1	2	6.6
Mark Ingram	8	6	50	8.3	0	6.3
J.K. Dobbins	24	18	120	6.7	0	5.0
James Proche	3	1	14	14.0	0	4.7
Dez Bryant	11	6	47	7.8	2	4.3
Justice Hill	5	5	20	4.0	0	4.0
Luke Willson	3	1	12	12.0	0	4.0
Patrick Ricard	12	9	45	5.0	1	3.8
Eric Tomlinson	1	0	0	–	0	0.0

And with a stunning, come-from-behind finish, on the strength of the longest pass-play for the Ravens this season, your boy Miles Boykin moves in front of Marquise Brown and Mark Andrews, to finish in front of them in yards-per-target for the second straight year!

Remarkable that Gus tightened his grip on the number one spot.

Eric Tomlinson still not in PFR's season-box for the Ravens. On Dec 30 they sent me this email:

"I'll confer with our team if we should be listing players with a target but no actual receptions there, thanks for the note."

I don't get how it's a question whether to list players who get targets. Maybe the person who sent me that is new.


Here's your game-leaders in yards-per-target for the season finale:

Player	YPT
Miles Boykin	21.5
Gus Edwards	10.0
Marquise Brown	5.1
Mark Andrews	3.9
Devin Duvernay	0.0

A low-volume day.

Marquise with double Snead's targets on the year, three times as many as Boykin, four times as many as Duvernay. That's not justified by his play this season, though thankfully he's been coming on lately. This passing offense would be more effective if they were more diverse in their usage of WRs.

But as noted before, a strange year. A lot of adjusting by all parties.

Weird that Gus has gotten more targets than Dobbins over the past five games. Well, I guess not "weird" when we see what Gus has done with them! But certainly unexpected. They're both really good weapons in the passing game. Would like to see them more involved next year.



Overall, we threw it about 75 to a hundred times less than I expected we would this season. Lamar's attempts declined from last year! Not what I thought would happen. I don't think that was all by Roman's plan: I think some of it was covid and some of it was OL struggles, and some of it was a back-to-basics approach when the season was on the brink. A little more play from backup QBs in important spots.

It probably doesn't reflect anything about the plan for next year. Probably.

21% of Boykin's catches result in TD's

I'd like to see us run more screens to be honest it seems like a waste to have a player like Duvernay and use him as little as we do.

Huh, that's not the answer I expected, but I didn't find a single player listed in that table in the Ravens 25 season history who had a target but no receptions or rushing attempts. Agree that it's a weird choice to intentionally exclude those players. (Also, random fact of the day: Deion had 2 targets in 2004).

Screens w/b good-also pitch-outs to Dobbins. Perhaps the line isn't fast enough to get out in front on plays like that.

God.........makes me sick.

As embarrassing as that was, it is not at all surprising for a Ravens team.

That video was surprising to me cause I expected a bunch of difficult catches but a lot of those throws were dimes smh

This looks like a Ravens passing stat table from 2002, not something that we should be seeing in 2020 with one of the best young QB's in the game... it makes me kinda sick how little we've evolved philosophically since the 00's.

They had a brief renaissance in the early 2010's where they actually began to prioritize the passing weapons... won a Super Bowl.... then reverted right back to the antiquated philosophy. This organization has no doubt left a Lombardi or two on the table by not prioritizing the WR position

"Play defense and run the dang ball, leave that fancy passing non-sense for the pretty boys teams!"

I don't think it was philosophy this year. I think they tried to "expand the passing game" in the first few weeks of the season. And completely stepped on their own dicks; a lot of it due to pass-blocking issues.

After Lamar came back from covid they were in a back to basics, "survive & advance" mode.

I do like the way the video was made though. They focused on catches that are more likely to be universally agreed upon as ‘should be’ catches.
