Review of the 2021 Baltimore Ravens – La Grada Sports

The year was very conflicted, injuries, COVID and game casualties influenced the 8-9 record that made the ravens miss out on playoffs.

Best moment

exhibition against chiefs

The Corvids rose in baltimore against one of his nemesis, the chiefs who were undefeated against Lamar Jackson.

That day will be remembered for a display on the run by the QB product of the University of Louisville107 yards and 2 touchdowns, the last one, worthy of the highlight reelnot just for the franchise, but for the entire 2021 NFL season.

The victory was sealed in extremis thanks to a fumble triggered by the rookie Odale Oweh and a 4th & 1 conversion achieved in home territory by the offense.

Worst moment

You go down everywhere

The year was looking bright for the Ravens until on the eve of the start of the season the soldiers began to fallJ. K. Dobbins who was expected to have a relevant role in the league, was injured in preseason facing Washingtonwas followed by the loss of his substitute Gus Edwards and also that of the substitute of thisJustice Hillthe trio of runners would not see a game in all of 2021 in addition to the corner back elite Marcus Petersall this happening in the trainingcamp.

If that were not enough, he would also get hurt, the rookie Rashod Bateman who would watch game until week 6

To finish the section on injuries, Lamar Jackson he would do the same to miss the last 4 games.

This was not going to be the only blip for the Ravens in terms of losses, from November 23 to December 2 the Baltimore team would face an outbreak of covidwhich would force them to put 23 players in quarantine, this would force them to postpone their game 3 times against the hated rival, the Steelers and 2 times the match against the cowboys.

featured player

Justin Tucker

It would be obvious to place Lamar Jackson who suffered without the support of the running backs planned, but Justin Tucker led the league in field goal percentage made, had 100% extra point shooting, 4th in points with 137 and best of all, broke the record for the longest kick in NFL history when he conceded a 66-yard missile between the posts of the Ford Field in Detroitwith 3 seconds to seal the victory of his team

Role of the coach

John Harbaugh was widely criticized for not having fired the defensive coordinator Greg Roman who had a very polarized season.

In general the head-coach he is aware that this team will continue to evolve under the leadership of the number 8, although in the last conference he was clearly stressed.

surprises

ground attack

We discussed the problems of Greg Roman, he has stalled Lamar’s evolution in the pass, but he has definitely exploited his skills with his legs unbelievably, not only this aspect must be considered, but also what has been seen with the injuries of the whole back field of the Ravens and the bad despite not having qualified for the postseason, the flock ended up being the third team with the most rushing yards, only below the Colts of the running leader, Jonathan Taylor and of the eagles from Jay Hurts.

disappointments

Marquis Brown

He finished the year with 6 touchdowns, the fewest touchdowns in his career in a year, but that is not the concern, he has reached this section because of so many drops rude at key moments that have meant defeats even

patrick queen

A player from whom much was expected and left to owe, he showed problems when breaking blockades from the line, that was enough to only have 2 sacks (one in the season opener), he also allows a lot of yardage and that has shown how poor he is in man-to-man coverage and how inconsistent he is in tackling.

Damien Harris created this big run (with help from Shaq and Onwenu) by pressing the C gap and having the vision to catch rookie LB Patrick Queen abandon his gap.
