Needs to start making plays
Several starters had really bad days at the office on defense:
Five highest-graded defenders (with enough snaps): DL Alim McNeill (69.7), LB Alex Anzalone (69.1), CB Will Harris (61.3), DL John Cominsky (59.7), EDGE Aidan Hutchinson (56.6)
Five-lowest graded defenders (with enough snaps): LB Derrick Barnes (28.6), LB Jack Campbell (36.5), CB Cam Sutton (47.2), DL Benito Jones (50.1), S Kerby Joseph (54.3)
I said this in another thread…but Branch was on the sidelines for 50 percent of the snaps vs Lamar Jackson. That makes no sense to me
My takeaway is that we are over-relying on LB’s in coverage when the other team has at least three good receiving options. Probably a good reason to trade for another DB.
5-man fronts vs the Ravens is what’s worked best.
Problem is, we put a lot on Campbell’s plate considering he was drafted to play MIKE. He’s out there running all over the field without really knowing what’s going on around him. There were a couple plays where he got to a spot, froze, looked at the LOS and a ball is thrown right beside him. He was lost. That’s why they have him taking snaps, though. He’s a heady dude. He’ll get there.
Barnes at 28.6
Don’t tell Cap. He will tell you that based upon his play, Barnes deserved 90% of the snaps .
Well you know DC always plays favorites and Jack only getting playing time cause Dan loves him
