Keep in mind, you need to run certain plays to keep teams honest. It helps to set up the next play or 2. If we abandoned the run entirely, then we arent keeping them honest. Maybe Hill or Waddle dont get open downfield....What will happen? Well, the Ravens were able to keep Miami's defense from being all over Lamar Jackson like they did last year. Other than some big stops, the defense allowed big play after big play in the passing game and failed to really pressure Jackson. If not for the crazy 4th Quarter, Miami would have easily lost that game. Boyer needs to come up with some answers before the Buffalo game.
A change that I think McDaniel needs to make is to push the ball down the field more. Yes, I know that they had a ton of yards in the passing game, but twice when they were down by 21 in the 3rd Quarter and early 4th Quarter, they seemed to be playing ball control football with runs and shorter passes. I couldn't understand why they were playing like they had a nice lead but were down by 3 TDs. Baltimore, on the other hand, kept making big plays in the passing game even though they were up by 3 TDs. I think that Miami was too conservative during most of the game and that's why they fell behind. IMO, it was a miracle that they were able to pull out that victory.
Chess, rather than Checkers.
