5 Lessons Rams Learned From Ravens Loss

Those reserves are being depleted and the Ravens can't keep reenforcing their roster. We've finally reached the limit of the Ravens' talented front office and as a result, if the Rams are able to induce more snaps in the game, the more stressed the roster will be and thus, they will break at the center.

2. Todd Monken's offense doesn't suit Cooper Rush

While the offense is built for Lamar Jackson and he's one of one, the struggles of the transition were as clear as day. The Rams have three keys. Put hands on Derrick Henry at the line of scrimmage, contain Zay Flowers and protect the deep shot.

Force the Ravens to play small ball and force them to actually go on a drive. They've proven they can't sustain one. While easy to write, Monken will be conjuring up something new to save his job so the Rams do not have this in the bag.

3. Terrance Ferguson would carve up the Ravens defense

Texans offensive coordinator Nick Caley, a former Rams assistant, used a complex passing attack to carve up the depleted Ravens' secondary. Tight end Dalton Schultz, who was utalized in a variety of positions, hauled in five catches for 60 yards.

He was the knife through the center of the defensive secondary that either opened up a passing lane for him or force the Ravens to surrender another lane to a different pass catcher.

Ferguson is smoother than Schultz.

4. Byron Young is the key to victory

The Ravens offensive line is bad when they don't have Lamar Jackson performing fifteen step drop backs to give him enough space to manuvor into opening space for throws. The Ravens have countered by moving the pocket to Cooper Rush's right or left so if there's one fact, it's that Byron Young is the key to victory.

Let Josaiah Stewart drop into coverage and let Young hunt. Young is able to collapse the pocket, corral a moving Rush, and be schemed up to the advantage of the Rams. He will force early throws and he will get his sacks.

5. Always take the points

The Ravens offense can't score enough to win a shootout and the Ravens defense isn't healthy enough to continuously stop drives. Take points when they present themselves, extend possession leads, and grind this game on the way to win number four.
