Ravens mailbag: How much blame does John Harbaugh deserve for the slow start?

Baltimore has the look of a broken team. But, with so many injuries to key players, is the criticism directed at Harbaugh warranted?

OL coach George Warhop said that he feels like Andrew Vorhees and Daniel Faalele have gotten better every week. Felt like both struggled against Texans but bounced back versus Rams.

Pagano said Nate Wiggins came to the coaches last week and asked to travel with Davante Adams.

Chuck Pagano said moving Kyle Hamilton to the nickel creates “a little bit different picture for the offense. They have to know exactly where he’s at. It felt different.”

Ravens OC Todd Monken on short-yardage woes: “Scheme it better. Call it better. Execute it better.”
Admits he second guessed himself for goal-line play calling Sunday.

Orr said he appreciates Harbaugh’s backing of him but, “I’ve got to be better. We’ve got to be better as a defense.”

@Colts Colts claim former Ravens UDFA S Reuben Lowery, who Baltimore waived Saturday.

Harbaugh said that Cooper Rush is his No.2 QB, but he also said that the Ravens also believe that Tyler Huntley is a capable No. 2 and he also claimed that he and DeCosta will have some discussions about pending roster decisions.

Harbaugh said that he was "surprised," by the Flacco trade within the division, but he said that they don't play the Browns or Bengals for several weeks, so he didn't give it a ton of thought.
The Ravens have their own issues to deal with obviously.

Harbaugh said that he doesn't know if Patrick Ricard will be ready to go after bye.
"It's just a matter of him being comfortable with his level of strength and his ability to perform. It's really up him."

Harbaugh said that if you want to look at why the Ravens are 1-5, you start with turnovers. Said he doesn't believe they can emphasize it any more during the week, but they have to find a way to do it and find a way to limit them.
"It's got to get done."

Harbaugh said they felt like they needed extra CB up (Alexander) because the Rams are a 3-WR team and like to throw. He said that they felt like they had some other options inside, which is why they left Peebles inactive. Also said they don't consider Peebles a run-stopping IDL.

Harbaugh said that Marlon Humphrey got out of Sunday's game OK physically.

Harbaugh said everything is on the table when it comes to OL changes

Jeff Zrebiec @jeffzrebiecbot.bsky.social · 2d

Harbaugh said they are considering changes with the OL, but he said Emery Jones still hasn't been able to do pass protection stuff because of his shoulder recovery.
"We're trying to get him up to speed as quick as we can."

Jeff Zrebiec @jeffzrebiecbot.bsky.social · 2d

Harbaugh said the goal-line stuff and short yardage absolutely needs to be fixed if the Ravens are going to go on a run.
"That should have been fixed. We've been talking about it for week. We haven't done a good enough job."

Jeff Zrebiec @jeffzrebiecbot.bsky.social · 2d

Harbaugh also said that he doesn't expect Adisa Isaac back until mid-to-late November. Isaac dislocated his elbow and sustained ligament damage during the preseason.

John Harbaugh said that Tavius Robinson's fractured foot is not season-ending. It's a 6-to-8 week injury, similar to the one Isaiah Likely suffered.

Ravens GM Eric DeCosta watches games from the sideline. It gives him better sense of the action. With what he saw today, did the Ravens make a case that they are a trade away from digging out of a 1-5 mess? The Ravens showed more fight, but little else.

Derrick Henry: “Three points isn’t going to be good enough” in this league.

This one is over. Rams win 17-3. Ravens will go into the bye week at 1-5 with so many issues that a healthy Lamar Jackson can only cover for so much.
