Ravens vs Chargers MNF game thread (no Bills talk please)

McConkey is awesome

[EmotionallyUnstable]

I know he’s had a number of TDs this season but Q Johnson has just been invisible, much like he has been his whole career so far.

For a unit that supposedly can’t stop anyone, the Ravens’ pass defense looks pretty good.

I do think it was a good momentum swing and worth mentioning. The Ravens converted on the 4th down and scores easily. It was big for LA to get points at the end.

I would argue it was routine, solid, efficient football. Not a “big win.” Big win would be like… a big win.

The style he stole from my grandmother? 

Straight out of 1985!! and slightly Coke bottle esque.

It is a Greg Roman passing scheme…. So they’ve got that going for them.

The Chargers have a good slot WR and JAGs outside. Not a hard passing offense to stop.

“Not many guys get away from that.  That’s why Lamar is Lamar.”

 

The guy went right past him and couldn’t stop,

Its NCAA Football.  Whatever cheating he was doing was just keeping up with everyone else.  He did a hell of a job at bull#### school up north   

I think SDS needs to check the board. Your post didn't make sense at the end? Word filter maybe wrong. 

[DapperCam]

That was a pretty generous spot, not that it mattered. They spotted it at 4th and inches, when the ball was almost a full yard back when he went down.

Mekari has been a penalty machine the last couple of weeks for the Ravens.

Hot take. Derrick Henry is just big. Not great. Just big. Like those kids in pee wee football that you were sure were like 4 years too old.

Not just big.  Fast for his size.  If being big was all it took, all RBs would be that size!

 

As it is, he’s one of one.  Is he a technically great runner?  Probably not.  With those gifts, he doesn’t need to be.  But no one else his size can do what he does.

Football has changed.  Ten years ago, these coaches would be kicking FGs or punting on most of these fourth downs.  Now it’s almost automatic to go for it on fourth and 1, most anywhere on the field.

Yeah agreed. He just has one move...going forward. To his credit it works. But it's not as impressive to watch as a back who makes moves with athleticism.

Yea Henry is a machine 

 

he's big, strong, fast... Has pretty good feet 

 

There's no such thing as a perfect football player and every player has some weaknesses... He's definitely able to be contained if you could get penetration into the backfield where he can't get his head of steam 

 

He's in north south runner 

 

You take away the north south... And he looks like human 

 

But he's a freak

[DapperCam]

I really don't think Henry will remain effective in the playoffs with this usage. He's huge and great, but he's still human.

I've watched football a long time and I think he is my favorite running back I've watched play.  Just an absolute war machine.

This year is so easy for Jackson, hand it off to Henry and let him do it all.

LT moved early on that TD.
