Is there a stats site somewhere that tracks percentage of play action from the shotgun v under center?

A lot has been made of how this is Mahomes worst supporting cast in his career and Lamar's best supporting cast. Thing is , the Ravens skill positions aren't much better than the Chiefs. Both have good TE groups, but the Chiefs is probably better with Andrews being out half the year. Both have a #1 rookie WR with very comparable stats. Both have a WR corp loaded with weapons, that are really inconsistent. Chiefs probably even have a better stable of RBs in Pacheco and CEH compared to the injured Gus Bus and Justice Hill. Basically, what I'm saying is the Ravens really, really miss Keaton Mitchell. It'd be pretty cool if he comes back the same guy from injury.

I don't know. I think I'd take a slower Kelce over the Ravens TE group, Pacheo over Gus Edwards? and Rice over Flowers from the rookie WR angle. Would absolutely take the rest of the Ravens WR depth chart over whatever the gently caress KC is trying to roll with, though.

Andrews and Likely if we actually start using them together is a killer of a combination that will give teams fits. I've been saying since we drafted Likely and he was looking good that this should be our plan and it's ridiculous we haven't made a serious effort to make this our main passing offense. We better do it now. I'd definitely take Andrews+Likely over current Kelce. WR though we have Stonehands Bateman, Old Beckham, Flowers who is pretty decent but his stats aren't turning any heads, and Agholor who is a good 4th option. Rashee Rice I think wins that category for the Chiefs on his own. Beckham makes great catches here and there but isn't going to be the main focus of any defense. Bateman will get like 2-3 catches per game. So I don't see how the Ravens win here. RB is about equal. Hill is a pretty good player and Edwards is a great short yardage guy. Cook is a wildcard. I don't know too much to say much about the Chiefs group but Pacheco seems to be doing well. Kawalimus fucked around with this message at 21:04 on Jan 26, 2024 |

Sadly Mark isn't going to be his old self even if he shows up for the Championship game. The stats for Andrews and Likely combinded on the season is about the same as what old man Kelce has put up this year. As for the Raven WR depth, OBJ disappears for games at a time, and Rashod Bateman has just as high a ratio of drops and gently caress ups as MVS. Weirdly, Agholar has been the most reliable. He's the player that really elevates the Ravens WR room above the Chiefs. I do think Flowers is going to be a better pro than Rice throughout their careers, but they produced very similar numbers this year.

We have no idea what Andrews will look like. I don't see how it's out of the question that he's effective and even if he's the second option I think he's better than Kolar. Teams will have to pay attention to him and that will open up Likely for more. Agholor is probably the best 4th wideout in the team's history but that's not saying much since usually that guy gets no targets period.

Rice is going to be that perfect Sammy Watkins replacement they haven't had since Sammy Watkins was last effective in the SB vs SF.

Oh you mean Mark Andrews THIS season since Kelce was 16 yards short of a thousand. But wait Andrews has 544 yards this season. Oh you mean if Mark Andrews didn't have this season but like, had another season. THEN he's better than Kelce. Nope still not true

Near-70s is a nice change of pace from the week+ of freezing temps and snow and ice we've had down here. Kelce's better than Andrews but Kelce + Whoever the gently caress is TE2 isn't gonna match Andrews + Likely. Chiefs have two good pass catchers in Kelce and Rice, Ravens have at least twice that (Andrews, Likely, Flowers, OBJ) and have a more dynamic running game compared to just Pacheco. Ravens should have the edge on offense, especially with the way Lamar is playing and how the tertiary Ravens offensive players are a lot better than thr Chiefs'. Not to mention I feel the Ravens have a good edge as well on both defense and ST. Basically, if the Ravens lose this one, they need to fire John Harbaugh.

I don't know if Harbaugh is gonna step down, but since it looks like the Ravens will have Monken/Macdonald another year it probably doesn't matter, I think the Ravens will still be a major force next year. If any team looks strong enough to two-peat a Super Bowl, the Ravens are the best-looking team to do so since the Chiefs after their first SB.Pron on VHS posted:Yeah.

We're losing at least Clowney and Van Noy and also Queen and probably Madubuike unless we franchise him. We were supposed to have a bad pass rush going into the year that was miraculously solved by late free agency additions. We'll be competitive but it won't be anything like you're seeing right now.

Ravens being as healthy as they've been the whole year is very helpful. That said, I would feel a lot better about this game if one or both of their two best running backs didn't get season ending injuries. kiimo posted:Kelce Stanning I guess Kelce being mortal is a sensitive spot.

i think mandrews will be pretty effective despite the injury, depending on how they cover him. he makes most of his plays by finding holes in zone or working back to lamar better than everyone else does on scrambles. hes not really physically dominating guys or whipping dudes 1 v1

Rumors of his age slowing him down are inflated in my opinion. Also I've had Andrews on my dynasty team his entire career along with Likely since he first flashed in preseason. I'm very familiar with them. Saying Andrews has passed Kelce is just a hot take that's all Travis isn't gonna gently caress me so I don't really need to stan for him. I guess disagreeing with a hot take is me over reacting though

Andrews Yards Per Target - 8.9 Kelce Yards Per Target - 8.1 Kelce TDs in 15 games - 5 Andrews TDs in 10 games - 6 Pretty solid support for a hot take. Maybe more of a room temperature take.

It is seriously wild how comparable the Chiefs and Ravens' top two receiving threats are. Rice/ Flowers both have just over 100 targets, almost 80 receptions, 7 TDs to 6 TDs (though Zay was robbed of that one 60 yard touchdown), and are within 20 yards of each other for total yardage. Kelce and Andrews are separated by one TD; both were catching around 75% of their targets and are separated by less than a yard on yard per target. Honestly, Likely has outperformed both on a snap-by-snap basis. Baltimore really struggled to get Likely and Andrews both involved in the offense early in the year. Even if they aren't able to fix that this week it will have to be a major emphasis for next season.

the pass rush will absolutely be worse next year, we got a ton of dudes having outlier contract years all at the same time. clowney will never be this good again and he will be impossible to keep. madubuike and van noy will probably also regress but i think they should keep both. traditionally the ravens havent valued interior pass rushers instead investing in big 2 gap players next to them but the ravens dont really have those guys, pierce isnt at that level anymore. i think madubuike is the best of the guys theyve had as 3 tech type dorks and really their only option to keep a healthy pass rush moving forward.

We got them so late because nobody thought they were going to do much of anything and Clowney I don't think ever even played a full season until this year. That's why I called it miraculous. For two guys to be signed so late one DURING the season even and putting up career sack totals is extremely fortunate. Could any random guys have done the same thing? Probably not. We just got insanely lucky.
