Next Up: @ Cowboys

Gonna be a hard fought game, two teams that just got embarrassed at home. cowshits have the extra juice of playing in their stadium, but the Ravens are the better team. Guys gotta show up and not choke.

What Micah Parsons will do to Mekari....might be criminal.

I watched some rosengarten film study, dude, if mekari is starting again harbaugh is beyond incompetent. Rosengarten looks so much better than mekari that this shouldn’t even be a discussion right now, it should just be done already. I had my concerns with him in preseason but he’s looked so good in his reps so far, even with the lumps he’s gonna take, he’s gonna consistently perform decent with the occasional rookie loss, whereas mekari is occasionally holding his ground but mostly doing bad.

And faalele… holy shit man. He might actually still be capable at RT, I see issues with him that are not exactly tackle issues, he can’t handle these quick DTs getting in close and then crossing his body, he can’t slide quick enough and if he uses his length there he’s gonna hold. when his length is a factor on the edge he might actually be able to do something. That said, he can NOT play guard, he doesn’t have it, he looks so bad. The faalele at G experiment has been an unmitigated disaster, and that’s no exaggeration, and idk how we are still sitting here discussing this. Cleveland needs to be in there, he can’t be worse.

And if Harbs truly can't get off his high horse for Cleveland, how could Jones (who looked very good against backups in PS at LT) be worse? I know he's supposedly a very left handed player but he's played LT and LG competently. He's an NFL guard. He can't be worse than Faalele.
 
Dallas still can't defend the run but will we be good enough to take advantage of it?

I hope we see a lot of Ricard and 12/22 personnel to at least try. It's not as if our WRs (other than Zay) are doing enough to take snaps away from them anyway.

I feel like he can’t move and would just get destroyed on speed rushes. It’s hard to watch, he’s literally not even touching guys

He might be the longest player in the nfl, and he can launch out of a 2 point stance at tackle on pass reps, it’s an entirely different game for a guy like faalele playing G or T. That length is a huge deal.

That said… I wouldn’t bet on him. Just saying that he’s got OT attributes but has absolutely nothing to indicate he could play G and idk how we got to this point with him, this might be the biggest coaching blunder I’ve seen from Harbaugh in all 17 seasons

It's quite possibly the stupidest thing he's ever done. Because any casual fan could've told you there ain't no way

I didn’t see the potential at G from him. All TC and preseason I figured eh the coaches know better than me, figured there must have been something there. Nope. We were right. There was no goddamn reason what so ever to roll out this abomination of an OL, and it starts with faalele. Put Cleveland in there and watch the OL at least look presentable. Faalele is so bad that he literally tanks the game.
 
Wiggins done with us already?
 
WK1 Xavier Worthy/Rashee Rice and Chris Jones
WK2 Davante Adams and Max Crosby
WK3 Ceedee Lamb and Micah Parsons

We just don't have a guy on either side of the ball that are at those levels. Obviously Worthy/Rice is the weakest name of the entire group.

I was watching ESPN and Ryan Clark was saying (and rightfully so) if your playing defense against us, who are you scared of in the passing game? There's no fear of getting beat deep so you just can play to take away the short to intermediate game. Ultimately you have to worry about Lamar and that's it. We've not shown we can use Henry in any reliable way.

On defense, we have a ton of "names" and huge sums of money but across 2 games there's nearly nothing to feel super good about. The brightest spot is ironically pass rush. But they can't win every time and now we're seeing things like lock down 2023 Stephens is getting brutalized in 1 on 1s. Not super surprising but it would be cool if he kept up his elite play. But way more importantly, we're seeing guys like Jakobi fucking Meyers take Marlons lunch money on 3rd downs. Like come on man.

I was particularly harsh on MM but while he was here you could see Roquan making a huge impact. You could see Hamilton making a huge impact. Madabuike went nuts. Now it's Oweh has flashed in 1 game and Travis Jones is doing well on some dirty work.

This just feels all around like a muted or nerffed version of the 2023 Ravens.
