Bold statement. We upgraded our D-Line with Calais and Wolfe. Upgraded our Linebackers Corps with the additions of Queen and Harrison. Still have two All-pro caliber CB’s (if not the best duo) in Humphrey and Peters. The only question mark is how big of a loss was Earl Thomas. If you ask most Ravens fans it wasn’t a big one. He was a locker room cancer and the team seemed to want him gone. [Reply]

We’re gonna have to do those outside zone runs if we want to have success
Ok, let’s pretend that is 3 of their front 4, including Judon too.
Then we’ll just pass the damn ball since that group leaves a bit to be desired there, and hopefully execute the simple plays early in doing so. [Reply]

His Neg Reps are even dumber than his posts, something I didn't think was even possible. [Reply]
Damn I’m ready for Monday night. Our offense is gonna have that defense wore out. Only pumped in crowd noise, no fans. The only thing we have going against us is we got a little beat up against LA, and we gotta go across the country between games. Aside from that I don’t think there’s much of an advantage for Baltimore. If Sammy can play it might get ugly. Gonna see Andy go full ham with playcalling. Our defense is gonna get some pressure on that banged up line, and Jones, Clark, Taco, and Nnadi are gonna have Lamar spooked. Chiefs got punched in the mouth last week and responded by punching back. I think they’re gonna be focused and loose. Just another game to KC, they’ve got nothing to prove. Baltimore has some pressure coming in, haven’t beaten Mahomes yet, and have had this game circled. Start to fall behind again, and those old feelings are gonna start creeping in, and you’ll see Lamar sitting on the bench looking like Keenan Allen was at the end of the game last week. [Reply]

Derek Wolfe?? The Chiefs own that guy, especially Mahomes. Don’t believe me? Straight from the horses mouth.
“I mean I’m glad I don’t have to play against (Mahomes) twice a year now,” Wolfe said, per Mike Klis of 9News. “Because he was such a huge pain in the ass. You’d get a lead on him and they’d still find a way to come back. They have such a good team all around. I’m excited to be part of another team that’s looking just like that.”

Campbell, at his age, might be a slight upgrade.
You'll find out how much of an upgrade Derek Wolfe is soon enough. The guy disappears in big games and usually spend 2 or 3 games a year sitting on the bench nursing injuries.
We know all about Marcus Peters. The risk with him is equal to the reward.
EDIT: Our offense is upgraded as well. Damien Williams, Eric Fisher, and Tyreek Hill did not play. We had 2 non-starters playing on the offensive line, one of which was so bad, he's now on IR in Dallas. You're going to get a completely different offense this year with an improved Patirck Mahomes and a significantly improved running game. [Reply]

Derek Wolfe and Lamar = 0 for....
Oof. That quote after this past Sunday is gold. [Reply]

It was 24-6 in the 2nd quarter and Baker was a disaster. I don’t think the Ravens really cared that they ran the ball to eat time.
Chubb and Kareem had some good runs though. Then again that’s the best RB duo in the league IMO [Reply]

I’d like to see us come out in 11 personnel early and force the issue to set up passes early. It just depends on what Martindale has up his sleeve.
When the time comes for us and we struggle, be it against the Chargers, Patriots or whatever defense gives us some issues, I would love to see 21 personnel. Get Tyreek in the back field with Clyde and set up some screens, passes to the flat or even misdirection. [Reply]
