Episode notes
Historic Injury Spiral Limits Team Options
- The Ravens are facing a season-length injury crisis that echoes past multi-year collapses and seriously limits options on both sides of the ball.
- Ivan Evans and Ken McKusick emphasize that injuries are often random and violent-sport driven, though offseason prep and training staff performance deserve monitoring.
Keep The Run To Beat The Spy
- Stay balanced and avoid abandoning the run even when behind to keep linebackers honest and preserve throwing lanes.
- Use play-action and sustained run threats to prevent spies and single-window rush strategies from shutting down Lamar's escape space.
Mitchell's Threat Value Beyond Touches
- Keaton Mitchell offers misdirection value even without many touches by forcing defensive attention and opening routes for other skill players.
- The hosts argue Mitchell's role as a motion/pony threat could create leverage the Ravens currently miss.
