Offensive line Receivers Defensive line
This group is stuck in limbo like the rest of the offense. The run blocking and pass protection have been spotty, and these guys can’t find a rhythm. Their forte is supposed to be run blocking. They are solid in the middle with guards Ben Powers and Kevin Zeitler, and Morgan Moses pulls well for a tackle. Rookie center Tyler Linderbaum has played well, but he is going to get into trouble because he holds a lot.
Last week, the Ravens dropped six passes by my count, but I stopped during Sunday’s game because I forgot my calculator. Some of these weren’t hard catches. Jackson is comfortable with a two-tight end look and the Ravens might need to use that more as a base with Mark Andrews, who caught four passes for 50 yards, and Josh Oliver, who added four catches for 76 yards and a touchdown. Aside from DeSean Jackson’s reception late in the game, it’s going to be hard to build a passing offense with receivers who can’t catch.
This group played well for most of the game, even in crunch time. Reserve tackle Broderick Washington doesn’t get a lot of publicity, but he had five tackles, including a sack. End Calais Campbell had three tackles and a sack, and he combined with end Justin Madubuike to help the Ravens hold Jacksonville to 38 yards rushing on 20 carries. They moved quarterback Trevor Lawrence a lot in the first and third quarters, but the Jaguars started getting rid of the ball quicker in the fourth.
