It took time. thoughts? Poll What is better is the adjustments made in game. They got gashed on the ground the first drive especially trying to play a gap-integrity read-and-react, which failed spectacularly when someone (you know who) would fill the wrong gap. I understand the thought, if it's a pass you need to contain Lamar so you can't just shoot upfield. Gradually it became apparent that to stop the Ravens you need to attack the Ravens. You can't let them rip off 3 and 4 yards as a default with the occasional 12 or 14 for sustained drives. Once they committed to attacking and getting negative plays to put the Ravens behind the sticks, it made it tough on them. Kudos on the broadcast crew for pointing that out. The interior D started worrying less about occupying blocks and more on beating blocks and getting upfield which is where guys like Oliver and Phillips have talent. The Ravens did make a few plays on long 3rd down conversions but generally the Ravens have plays planned to go 4 yards that might go 15 if they catch you correctly, but not as many plays to gain 15 as designed.
