League Standing & Trends
Despite a losing record, the Ravens rank #1 in Team Rushing Grade. Lamar Jackson made history this year as the first QB with 90+ grades in both passing and rushing. leaders.htm shows Henry is still a force, but the defense is surrendering too many passing yards.
Offensive Scheme
Baltimore runs a heavy 12-personnel package (2 TEs). They use Derrick Henry to punish the interior while Zay Flowers works the intermediate "levels" concept. Their passing game is highly efficient but lacks volume.
Defensive Discipline
Kyle Hamilton is the "X-Factor" here; he is the only safety with 80+ grades in coverage, run def, and pass rush. However, the cornerbacks have struggled with "Coverage Busts" allowing 50+ yard touchdowns in multiple games.
THE DATA EXPLOIT:
Baltimore is vulnerable to Double-Moves and "Deep Posts." Their safeties play aggressive, trying to help the run, leaving the corners on islands. Offensively, if you can limit Henry to under 90 yards, they are 0-11 in those scenarios.
