Derrick Henry might be the last RB to rush for 10k career yards, so enjoy this hall of famer while he’s playing. We won’t see many true workhorse backs with this kind of longevity in today’s NFL

[@robertknight9487]

Same thing with big aggressive linebackers. We’ve lived through a changing in the game. Will always be amazing memories.

[@TheFootballDigest]

Over 2K carries, 9th year in the league and he’s seeing his best season of his career so far Truly absurd what he’s doing

[@CarlosMartinez-gu3oq]

Technically he has 6-7 years... His first 2 he was benched, on his 3rd year he barely started to get into his groove and workload.

[@thisismyyoutubecommentacco6302]

Disagree, the NFL runs in cycles, and I believe we're about to start seeing the shift back to the running game, and ironically, the Ravens are the fulcrum point. As the NFL has shifted further and further towards the passing game, defenses have adjusted. Two-high safety is pretty much the standard, even on first down, and teams have drafted smaller linebackers with better coverage skills and even the few run-stopping strong safeties (Kyle Hamilton for example) are excellent in coverage. Mike McDonald's aggressive mixed zone schemes are difficult for QB's to diagnose quickly because coverage on one side is not the same as zone coverage on the other, with mixed-zone coverages, and faster players closing down lanes, this has slowed down veteran QB's, and for Rookie QB (Bryce Young, Anthony Richardson, Caleb Williams) it's a nightmare. Admittedly exceptions are there (C.J. Stroud) but if a team wants a rookie QB to succeed you NEED to build them a running game and O-Line, not stack him with weapons if he can't get the ball to them. The way you beat 7 guys in the box is to run the ball, tale as old as time. Force that safety into the box then throw over the top, the old ways still work, and we'll see their return. Unless somehow people start listening to Mel Kiper and ban two-high safety.

I think its only going to get better as Monken and the O Line get more familiar with Henry's game. I cant think of a team that has the run blockers to deal with Henry for the duration of a football game. I think Bellichick said it best: "You put your big slow guys into block Henry, Llamar runs the ball. You put your fast guys in to contain Llamar, Henry runs the ball. Try to rush, and check down to Hill. There is no way to stop it".

I don't think we need to worry about Mark Andrews unless you're a fantasy manager. I think he is still putting up some impressive tape on the blocking, and I believe Andrews never shy away from blocking and enjoys that part of the game. But I can feel that this guy will have a monster game out of no where, every week seems a bit different and ever changing. Its so exciting to watch.

[@TheFootballDigest]

Could not agree with you more regarding blocking Been such a huge and under appreciated part of the running game’s success these past few weeks

[@terri1197]

I don't like the smoke he has been getting lately! What's that old saying, "If it ain't broke don't fix it". Their run game is on another level at the moment. Now it's gonna be a team that slows that running game down! This will open up the play action pass for the receivers. The King not gonna always run for 199. Andrews/Likely are 2 of the best blocking TEs. Let them cook. Their time will come 💯

[@TheFootballDigest]

Great points made. You’re definitely not gonna see the crazy numbers from these past two weeks every Sunday But just always having that run presence in your back pocket is going to wonders for Baltimore’s pass game when they gotta lean on it

[@fransdeleto4945]

If mark andrew want to play..he can change become blocker...this good for the team

[@robogarden5723]

The center, in college, was known for being good at blocking downfield after snap. That was a major factor in picking him in the first round. The plays rely heavily on blocking downfield and EVERYONE does it well. Even the small Zay Flowers was crack blocking. It's that self-less team mentality that's making this thing go (hence Mark Andrews not getting his touches).

[@TheFootballDigest]

They’ve been impressive across the board so far They currently lead the league in separation per route ran as a team actually

[@mobrown1198]

As a long time Ravens fan(before the logo iykyk) I agree that Adams would be a tremendous addition (He’s great) but disagree that it would do much to “improve” the passing game ~ only because the Ravens organization has an identity, and they will and have doubled and tripled down on their brand (identity). Bateman, Flowers, can win one on one’s when given the opportunity… Zay is usually in motion or off the line, and rarely is the X receiver, in this offense. Even in prior years, it wasn’t so much that other teams stopped the Ravens, more so, the Ravens not being the Ravens… and sticking to their identity. No way possible the Ravens running backs had 6 carries in any playoff game and the Ravens win~ just not happening. Under Greg Roman, and Monken the Ravens rarely use 3WR sets… and under both coordinators the Ravens have ranked in the bottom 5 in passing attempts. With so many TE’s (better bigger blockers) along with the frequent usage of a fullback.. I just don’t see any room to add a WR, regardless of how good they are. Personally, I’ve researched a deep dive on the success of “Number 1” WR and their impact on winning championships… I went back 25 years, and the first “concession “ was actually the first year.., the greatest show on turf, had HOF caliber WR room.. with a HOF back, and HOF QB. What anyone will observe from the empirical data, from 2000-2023… WR1 types, all put up great numbers, VERY FEW, and I mean VERY few were on Super Bowl teams. just a footnote. New England won 1/3 of the championships over this period. (They ain’t win with Moss) and they had great TE play, Brady always had multiple receiving backs, and a great slot guy. There’s a fan fascination with WR’s and passing stats, receiving stats. Something i understand… because during my deep dive, I went all the way back to the great teams of my youth… the best passing teams…. Because it was something I noticed that teams that pass more effectively than run, and have great receivers.., those teams rarely have won. Granted there are exceptions, but the percentages actually surprised me.. how few teams with the high paid, true number 1 WR.., those guys didn’t win too many championships… in every case in which the WR made an impact…. was if the team had at minimum two other offensive skill players who were HOF level players~ (either QB, RB, TE, or another WR) Much to my dismay, I’ve found WR1 aren’t worth the money… it’s the market, and I’m not a pocket watcher. What I’m saying is from an impact standpoint, they only transfer yards, and don’t “elevate” a team nor quarterback (a great TE, or great OL is more valuable to a QB) in the manner that most fans, including myself,(at one time) believe. Also it’s such a small window of opportunity once a team pays a WR top tier money… the lack of team depth, the lack of premium players at non premium, but vital positions (interior offensive line, Tight ends, nowadays GOOD running backs) because they are paying max on a position that simply doesn’t elevate the team… as much as fans think. I would say in this case, if Devante is affordable, I think he’s a perfect fit… and mentor to guys like Bateman and Walker when he gets an opportunity to play. But my gut says only get him to keep him from going to the competition 😂

[@jasonvarghese1154]

I'm tryna tell y'all, Zay Flowers is that dude. We just haven't been giving him too many targets up to this point

[@murphyc15]

I want them to commit to this style moving forward. It feels like it could be big for them. I mean WRs are expensive so if you're able to get production and success without needing them you are free to spend that money on arguably more important positions on offense, as well as on defense. Plus it makes them a unique offense to go against which is always hard to game plan for.

[@TheFootballDigest]

People tend to say investing big money in a running back is a recipe for disaster I think it’s clear with what we’re seeing so far from Baltimore that Derrick Henry is that one exception lol

[@jdubb45]

Ironically that reminds me of the 2019 Greg Roman led offense philosophy but seems people hated that.

[@murphyc15]

@@TheFootballDigest and I don't even think it's necessary to invest the money in the RB, it's probably much better to invest it in the O-line, TEs, and across the defense

[@truthbearer7891]

It’s a genius strategy with QB like Lamar who enhances RB production even more and because of market you can get the best player at that position for 1/4 the price of a top WR. It def allows them to spend that money on areas that move needle more on winning titles around an elite QB in Oline and defense. And NFL defenses aren’t even built to stop a combo of Henry/Ricard along with Lamar. They are either too small to stop Henry with Ricard as lead blocker or not fast enough to chase Lamar, Zay, Likely etc

[@1987jessthabest]

Starting to think this with this scheme being so complex… maybe that’s a marker for the offensive line issues early on?

The crazy thing is, the pass game hasn't needed to do much over the past 2 weeks due to Henry going off. When you're RB is leading the league in rushing yards and is tied for 1st in the league in rushing TD's...your QB won't need to do much more than not turn the ball over and make the right passes when he needs to (which Lamar has done). Yea, the receivers aren't getting much work, but then why bring in Henry if you're not going to use him?

[@TheFootballDigest]

It’s crazy what the ground game has done just to simply open up the secondary for the air attack Between the run presence, O-Line improving, etc, it’s easily the best situation Lamar’s had so far.

@@TheFootballDigest That's not the dig on Lamar. He is a running focused QB who has bad short and intermediate accuracy. He throws a good deep ball and that pairs well with play action.

Higher tier that middle of the pack? probably not, I can name 10-15 QB's are better at throwing the ball (accuracy, footwork, timing) than Lamar.

That stack formation they run with Ricard behind the guard on the TE's side (typically with Flowers on the opposite side) is ridiculous on its own. Straight zone sweep and you get Henry 1v1 with a safety almost immediately. They overplay that and Lamar keeps it on a bootleg and walks away from them. They try to blitz and the Ravens run play-action, the TE and RB (doesn't matter which combination of Henry, Hill, Mitchell, Likely, and Andrews this is) become deadly receivers (screen, flat, or seam) and they still have a 6th pass blocker in Ricard!

Best comment. And those losses fall on Harbaugh. He is so outclassed by Reid.

Once Zach Orr gets his feet on the ground as a DC and the unit gets into the top half of league defenses, it will be lights out. As long as Monken remembers to give Henry the ball twenty times per game in the post season.

[@kevinbillingsley8256]

I'd say for us Baltimore horde it's a welcome and necessary distraction after just watching the Orioles get unceremoniously swept out of the postseason again.

[@TheFootballDigest]

A potential Davante Adams trade as well for you guys would probably also make up for that I’m sure lol

[@FymTJ]

Just don’t do Henry like marshawn lynch got done up & no worries

[@SelectCircle]

Exactly.

[@zmachine1690]

Let’s see what offense shows up in January

[@TheFootballDigest]

Got a hunch they’re gonna be running the ball down the stretch a little bit more this season 😅

[@zmachine1690]

@@TheFootballDigest I had that hunch vs chiefs too and we saw what happened lol

[@TheFootballDigest]

Fair point lol

[@BigDaddyDelliott]

I’m a titans fan and idc what team he’s playing for I wanna see him win something big. I love seeing him in the ravens offense

[@Slimesport]

The O - Line being top 3 is a Lamar stat🏃

[@RavensTheNextDynasty]

These last 2 weeks I would disagree, really no pressure I’ve seen on Lamar recently

Patrick Ricard is really the glue to all this.

You definitely hit the nail on the head with that lol

[@korcla5668]

The comment about Mark Andrews aged wonderfully. Hes been starting to show up more these last 2 weeks

[@Jay-sv9vw]

Imagine when DH lines up as the fullback and KM at the tailback/I-back? This is going to be exciting all season. Records will be broken with a Super Bowl to go with it. One play, one game at a time. The writing will be on the wall if we snag Max Crosby. Pick up the phone Eric DeCosta.

[@dskurry1186]

It’s safe to say the Chiefs already answered that question the first game of the season.!

[@Dummodie]

No😂that was the ravens 1st game with that oline and it was horrible and then they changed it around after the raiders game and we seen how that turned out

[@McKenzie_Co]

@@Dummodie 🤣🤣🤣

[@bigchungus1848]

That was more the Ravens losing than the Chiefs winning.

[@E.J.Crunkleton]

These homers hate facts, and ignore the last decade of data to keep their dream alive.

why could'nt we run against the porous chiefs defense ?

Reid taught them how to tackle. I'm serious.

Lions-Ravens super bowl this year, im calling it here and now.

[@GotCMilk]

Pounding the rock against these smaller defensive guys is smart. Defenses have gotten smaller and faster to defend the pass.

[@jonnyg44]

No defense likes a qb who can just take off

[@SelectCircle]

And who now has a power back to hand off to.

[@kamalahmed6607]

Henry wasted years in Tennessee

[@SelectCircle]

Absolutely.

[@francomichelin9076]

The ravens still have a long way to go. But this year is most likely the opportunity to get the job done. With how well this offense has dominated, and the defense has made splash plays, It will drive their momentum for their goal: New Orleans. But let's not get ahead of ourselves, Can the ravens repeat last year or continue this drive towards the finish line?

[@zmachine1690]

I’d rather trade for a nasty run blocking o lineman than I would d adams. We’re fully committed to a run first offense with occasional 5 yards slants and crosses on play action. I don’t think adams would do as much for this offense as a beefy mauler o lineman would

[@TheFootballDigest]

Very valid points made 🤝

[@Tyler-x3z8d]

Only complaint I’ve had so far is Nate Wiggins he’s playing big snaps on WR like Jamar Chase slap him in the slot it’s his first year lol

[@mikelanger9849]

As a Ravens fan from day one it's crazy to see the offense way better than the defense 😂. 😈

[@juliusgibson928]

I think they are the best all around team in the NFL

[@TheFootballDigest]

Hard to argue against it from what we’ve been seeing Curious to see if they can keep this crazy momentum up over the next month or so

[@JstBobby]

Great regular season, can't wait to see them get bounced the first round of the playoffs

[@SelectCircle]

We got Henry now. Won't happen. 8 D

[@JstBobby]

@@SelectCircle I hope so man

[@JamesonC-xy1xk]

I'm a Ravens fan, and I totally think that it's one of the best nfl offense

It has to be demoralizing and downright traumatizing to be punched directly in the mouth for 60 minutes and not really know when or where the punches are coming from. 💥👊🏾💥👊🏾💥👊🏾

[@jaysusu8623]

They will not be themselves in the playoffs 😢. They always change their identity in the playoffs 😂

[@SelectCircle]

And that's on Harbaugh. If we had Andy Reid we'd be unbeatable in the play-offs.

[@6laeck151]

How bout them O’s??

[@ravensfan1825]

I've never seen such a monkey-on-the-back phenomenon in the making, smh. This post-season schneid is going to be very tough to break. The late-1970's Phillies were able to break theirs by bringing in Pete Rose. It might require such a catalyst for the O's.

[@ForFearItsChris]

The defense still needs to improve with the new DC, but they look good on a play by play basis. Looks like the Super Bowl team for the AFC to me, Chiefs can’t keep getting away with it

[@SelectCircle]

So long as Reid is the Chiefs' HC ... they'll get away with it.

[@BarKeepersfriendly]

Hold the edge run blitz all game. Goodbye birdies

[@TheFootballDigest]

They got the personnel to do it, that’s for sure

[@757BlackmambaQ]

Still had 4 drops vs the Bills

[@couproduc]

If they don’t lose now and show all of their playbook they will lose later when it really counts. Those 2 loses were necessary

[@matthewarnold4557]

Ravens did all this while committing 10 penalties and four drop passes

[@TheFootballDigest]

One of these games they finally won’t end up committing 10 or so penalties, and that’s going to be a beautiful thing when it happens
