How to fix the Baltimore Ravens’ dysfunctional offense
By Hassan Zakai
The Baltimore Ravens have had one of the worst offenses in the NFL this season. How do they turn things around?
The Ravens’ offense through four weeks is an absolute mess. That’s putting it lightly. They’re the 30th ranked offense in the league and 32nd in passing. Even if the defense plays well, if the offense can’t even manage 20 points a game (they’re at 15.0 a game now) then this team has no chance at the playoffs. So what’s the problem here?
Their two interior offensive linemen are undrafted players, wide receivers are running three yard hitch routes with guys draped all over them, the run game disappears for quarters at a time, OC Marty Mornhinweg doesn’t seem to know his players’ strengths, and Joe Flacco looks like he’s still feeling the effects of not going through training camp.
The worst thing is there is no quick fix that’ll magically give us back 2014 Joe Flacco. Rather, there are a couple of tweaks Marty Mornhinweg and the offense can implement to help jumpstart this offense. Here’s what the Ravens can do to help save this season.
