-Pass Rush was non existent. Flacco had a clean Jersey.
-Cam Robinson stunk at pass protection as usual. He is a mauler at run blocking but very mediocre at pass blocking. His temper could of cost us the game. Plus a penalty that cost a td
-Tight end: It's clear this team needs a tight end that can scare defenders. Where is Oliver?
-Penalties: This team had over 100 yards in penalties including taking points off the board.
-Middle of the field: It was like the defense forgot to defend it. Flacco kept attacking the same spot on the late td drive with 1:33 left.
-AJ Cann: I never want to see him in the starting lineup again.
-Herndon is not ready. Just bad.
-Ramsey Fiasco; Trade Him, pay him, whatever but it's a distraction.
1. Pass Rush- It was non-existent because we got behind very early. This defensive front needs a lead to pin their ears back. This was not a player issue as much as it was a game dictated one.
2. Cam- He really wasn't that bad and against two of the more elite pass rushers in the NFL. Sure he got beat but how long has he been back? How was that run game on the left side? Ifs and buts but give him some credit.
3. TE- This wasn't that type of game. They were needed much more as blockers. Over the last few games, you can see which TE fits what role. O'shaq is a do-all. Swaim is a pass catcher (sucks at blocking). No doubt Oliver has a role that could be filled but plenty of WRs to spread the ball around, so TE was not intrical in this game.
4. MoF- That was more on the backend than on the LBs. Although they did get caught selling out for the run, Lindsey is much more dangerous than any receiver they have. We also played waaaaay too much zone, which equals bend don't break.
5. AJ- Agree, and the times he has been replaced shows how much better we are without. He is a solid backup and nothing more.
6. Herndon- Has a ton of talent, but he was put on an island with limited safety help. Reps will help him, but he does not have the length Jalen has. In the end, the fact we weren't in blitz mode makes the CBs have to cover longer. Our CBs benefit greatly from a disrupted defensive front. No CB, including Ramsey, can cover for long periods. What I would prefer to see is Tre keeping plays in front of him if they are going to be made.
7. Ramsey- [BLEEP] him! Sick of hearing about him. I don't think it is a locker room distraction as much as it is a media one that takes away from the good that Jags as a team have put out there. It's always an asterisk in every broadcast.
