INSTANT ANALYSIS: Ravens Lose (Their Season?) in Buffalo

Jake Louque — Mon, 02 Nov 2026 03:14:50 GMT

The guys hop on to let out their unfiltered thoughts on what might have been the death knell for Baltimore's season. Thanks as always for tuning in, and we'll be back at you very soon.

Jake Louque — Wed, 28 Oct 2026 09:02:15 GMT

The Ravens have failed their first big test of the pivotal stretch of their season by losing to the Bengals at home in embarrassing fashion. Amidst all this unrest, there’s still a lack of clarity on Lamar Jackson’s health, the Ravens are making some moves to shuffle up their roster, there’s a ton of activity on the trade market, and plenty more for Jak…

After The Tape | Ravens Defense Has an Execution Problem and a Leadership Problem

Cole Jackson — Tue, 27 Oct 2026 09:02:57 GMT

Cole Jackson and Spencer Schultz are back for another episode of After The Tape, breaking down the Ravens’ defensive performance against Cincinnati. This was a tale of two halves, and the film tells us why. Joe Burrow’s average time to throw dropped from 3.49 seconds in the first half to 2.56 in the second, as the Bengals adjusted their formations, attacked the middle of the field and found answers for Jesse Minter’s pressure packages. We go through the coverage adjustments, Nate Wiggins’ struggles against Tee Higgins, Kyle Hamilton’s difficult afternoon and the missed tackles that continue to plague this defense. There was plenty to like about Baltimore’s first-half execution, but the bigger question is why they couldn’t sustain it.

34:00 – Closing thoughts: Why the Ravens need to maintain their first-half intensity for four quarters

After The Tape | Ravens Run Game Is Broken, But What is the Real Problem?

Cole Jackson — Mon, 26 Oct 2026 12:36:57 GMT

The Ravens’ offense was a tough watch against Cincinnati, and after going through every snap, I’m not buying the idea that Derrick Henry is suddenly washed. There are much bigger problems with this run game, starting with an offensive line that isn’t moving bodies, questionable blocking assignments and a scheme that doesn’t seem to know what it wants to be. Henry finished with just 45 rushing yards despite generating 51 yards after contact. That should tell you something about what’s happening in front of him.

In this episode of After The Tape, we’re digging into the film to figure out where things are going wrong. We’ll look at the Ravens’ struggles running both zone and gap concepts, some concerning decisions in pass protection and why the offense continues to look so dependent on Lamar Jackson. There were a few positives, particularly Zay Flowers and Ja’Kobi Lane, but there’s plenty for Declan Doyle and this coaching staff to figure out.

INSTANT ANALYSIS: Ravens hit ROCK BOTTOM vs. Bengals, 35-13

Jake Louque — Mon, 26 Oct 2026 01:33:43 GMT

As we enter into the midway point of the 2026 season, the Ravens find themselves in a very precarious position, amplified to a large degree by the defeat they suffered today at the hands of the Bengals. After a promising first half, the levee broke, and it was all Cincy all the way on both sides of the ball. The guys are here to vent about this terrible loss, try to understand why exactly it happened, and what this team needs to do going forward to get back on track.

Looking Back and Looking Forward

Jake Louque — Wed, 21 Oct 2026 10:01:11 GMT

After a deflating loss to the Browns, the Ravens find themselves at a bit of a crossroads one third of the way through the 2026 season. At least, that’s the conclusion Jake and Spenny reached this episode after diving into some of the injury updates Jesse Minter provided, looked at the tape of the Browns game, and peeked ahead at the next few weeks of w…

After The Tape: Ravens Defense: What's Working and What's Still Missing

Cole Jackson — Tue, 20 Oct 2026 08:02:11 GMT

The Ravens defense held Cleveland to 235 yards, 13 points and just 5-of-16 on third down. Normally, that’s more than enough to win a football game. Cole and Spencer Schultz go through the tape to break down what went right, including a much-improved pass rush with Trey Hendrickson and Nnamdi Madubuike leading the way. But there are still some questions about how Jesse Minter is deploying his secondary, particularly the amount of space Baltimore is conceding underneath. We also take a closer look at the Jerry Jeudy completion that helped seal the game and why some of these coverage tendencies could become a bigger issue against quarterbacks like Joe Burrow.

Episode Rundown

00:00 — Defensive performance: Baltimore holds Cleveland to 235 yards and 13 points, but it isn’t enough to overcome the offense’s struggles.
02:15 — The Jerry Jeudy completion: Breaking down Cleveland’s dagger concept against Cover 2, the responsibilities of Malaki Starks and Jalen Hawkins, and why the Browns had the right call.
08:40 — Jesse Minter’s coverage tendencies: Why Baltimore continues to concede space underneath, the conservative approach in Cover 4, and the risks against better quarterbacks.
13:15 — Scheme vs. execution: Minter is creating opportunities for his defenders, but missed tackles and failures to finish plays remain an issue.
15:40 — Inside Baltimore’s pass rush: How Anthony Weaver is using alignments, stunts and simulated pressure to create free rushers, including the impact of Trey Hendrickson.
22:25 — Nnamdi Madubuike is finding his form: Five pressures, explosive individual wins and how Hendrickson’s presence is creating better opportunities along the defensive front.
27:15 — Defensive standouts and the bigger picture: Kyle Hamilton’s impact, Nate Wiggins’ development and why Baltimore’s defense is trending in the right direction.
32:55 — Looking ahead to Joe Burrow: Why the Ravens need more deceptive coverage rotations and turnover opportunities against Cincinnati’s passing attack.

After The Tape: Tyler Huntley Struggled, But the Ravens OL and the Run Game Didn't Help

Cole Jackson — Mon, 19 Oct 2026 13:12:06 GMT

The Ravens offense struggled to get much of anything going, and while Tyler Huntley missed his share of throws, the offensive line wasn’t doing him any favours. Baltimore couldn’t move bodies in the running game, constantly putting the offense behind the sticks and leaving Huntley facing third-and-long. That’s a tough spot for any quarterback, let alone a backup. In this episode of After The Tape, we look at what went wrong up front, how it impacted Huntley, and where he needed to be better.

Episode Rundown

00:00 — Introduction: Ravens score 10 points in the first quarter against Cleveland before going scoreless the rest of the game.
01:37 — Tyler Huntley’s struggles: Missed opportunities in the passing game, including a third-down throw to Zay Flowers, and why Baltimore’s average third-down distance jumped from 4.7 yards against Atlanta to 9.56 against Cleveland.
05:10 — What’s wrong with the Ravens running game? Derrick Henry finishes with 58 yards on 17 carries as Baltimore struggles to generate consistent movement up front. Breaking down failed blocking assignments, unblocked defenders and why the Browns’ stacked boxes weren’t the whole problem.
09:14 — Finding success with trap concepts: How Baltimore found some running room using traps and tosses, why the interior offensive line struggled with traditional downhill runs, and a closer look at Henry’s costly fumble.
12:29 — Declan Doyle’s play-calling: Examining some creative offensive designs, including the Josh Cuevas touchdown, while questioning the preparation and execution of Baltimore’s running game.
15:20 — Jacoby Lane shines and what comes next: Lane’s impressive catches, positive signs from the receiving corps, and how Lamar Jackson’s potential return and changes along the offensive line could help get the offense back on track.

INSTANT ANALYSIS: Ravens Fumble One Away to Browns, 13-0

Jake Louque — Mon, 19 Oct 2026 01:36:58 GMT

It's another week of instant analysis, and the guys are here to break down a frustrating Ravens loss as we inch towards the midpoint of the season. With Snoop Huntley once again in for Lamar Jackson, Baltimore had multiple chances to steal one on the road vs. the Browns, but continually let them slip through their fingers. Jake and Spenny go through it …

Spenny & The Bets: Week 6

Spencer Schultz — Sun, 18 Oct 2026 16:41:53 GMT

This week we love Jalen Coker and Justice Hill to top their receiving marks. Coker had an injury that knocked him off serious receiving production. With Tet McMillan getting so much attention, Bryce Young feeds the sturdy receiver. Hill has also started to look like his old self, and the Ravens defense will look to feed the back on wheel routes, screens and fast to flat passes to stretch stacked boxes laterally.
