Panthers vs Ravens Running Commentary

Nice effort, Joe.

 

God damn, Joe Flacco is human garbage

 

Baltimore's offense doesn't match their defense at all. It's the strangest thing I've ever seen. They have an old school, rugged defense designed to stop the run and create havoc, but the offense is all dink and dunk. They haven't played complimentary football in years. I'm starting to wonder if they'll clean house in 2019.

 

I honestly thought it was gonna be a long day and an L directly after that first Raven drive TD and then we punt after a few downs.

I was pleasantly surprised, and amazed, at how we actually made adjustments and picked up our game after that.

I was very impressed by the clock management at the end of the first half, and Heineke's head's up play with 88 going OB with 2 secs left for a FG try. Normally, with a lead and under a minute or so beginning in our own territory, we don't do shit to try and score.

 

When you rewatch the game, notice the attention 22 gets when leaking out, and especially when running out to the flat. He gets at least 2 defenders on him.

 

No doubt. The negatives of being more finesse have been documented here, but McCaffrey has been amazing for the passing game. I'm really excited about the future, regardless of how the rest of this year goes. We finally have some promising young talent on offense.
