Baltimore Ravens: A Q/A for Ravens Flock from Ebony Bird

At the mid-way point through the 2018 season, Baltimore Ravens fans everywhere have plenty of questions, and Ebony Bird is here to answer.

Ravens Flock, it’s been a long and frustrating season thus far in 2018. There’s been plenty of ups and downs, moments where we are thinking Super Bowl and moments when we’re thinking top ten draft pick for 2019. But, where do the Ravens truly stand? It’s certainly a question many of us are left wondering about, but there’s so many other questions we need answers to. That’s what we’re here for.

Today, we sit down and have a chat about some of Ravens Flock’s questions surrounding the team. Make sure you’re following the Twitter handle @Ebony_Bird for all your Ravens news, updates, posts, and polls and have your question answered on our next post. Until then, let’s take a look at some of Ravens Flock’s questions.

Something Ravens fans seem to be constantly clamoring about is a change of coaching staff. It makes plenty of sense when you consider the fact that John Harbaugh has underachieved since the team’s Super Bowl XLVII Championship. Baltimore has one playoff appearance since then and has failed to make the playoffs each of the last two seasons despite having solid teams. Calling this irritating is an understatement.

Another thing to consider is Eric DeCosta is calling the shots now as the team’s new General Manager, as Ozzie Newsome has stepped down. DeCosta has patiently waited for his opportunity and he won’t squander it. He got his quarterback in Lamar Jackson from the 2018 NFL Draft and it wouldn’t be surprised if he decided to move on from Harbaugh and get a new Head Coach.

As for Offensive Coordinator Marty Mornhinweg, the offense has flowed nicely all things considered. A banged up offensive line has hampered the run game, although the running backs have also been lackluster. But if Harbaugh is fired, it wouldn’t be a shock to see the Ravens clean house.

If the Ravens decided to can Harbaugh mid-season, it would absolutely have to be during the bye week. With that being said, I don’t see it happening. The front office has expressed plenty of confidence in Harbaugh and his staff, at least enough for them to have one last chance of making the playoffs and proving their worth.

Firing Head Coaches mid-season is often times a move that results in tanking for a better draft pick. Remember, the Ravens still sit at 4-4 on the year and are very much alive in the AFC North, let alone the playoff hunt. Even if the team drops another game this Sunday, it’s hard to see Baltimore moving on from a Super Bowl winning coach in the middle of a season.
