Might be time to start looking at the GM, and the type of players he drafts, or doesnt. Multiple coaches, same results? The OL is not very good, and that's on him. Stanley is on his last legs but there apparently wasn't much discussion of drafting a young LT. Simpson is a mediocre retread, and we have a center who has made 2 starts in the NFL. Not very good for a team that's supposed to have SB aspirations. Vega will probably be an above avg guard, but he got beat badly on that last play and caused Lamar to hurry his throw. The defense? Not giving up the big plays but allowed the Saints to move the ball methodically and eat clock in the second half. And they scored and kept the Raven's offense on the bench. Slow bleed is probably worse than giving up a big chunk play. At least the offense gets the ball back with some time.

A week left in the season and now he wants to manage…

I look at it this way: It's possible that this could be a sign of growth on his part that carries over into next year. And also...of all the horrible ABs we've seen with RISP this year, that was by far THE stupidest: so bad that he couldn't help but call it out.

If EDC is the problem, we are in big trouble for years to come and Lamar's ring is out the window--because Biscotti is not firing him unless the team continues to fail to make the playoffs. I am hoping that it's just that EDC has a blindspot/stubbornness for just the OL as opposed to the DNA of the players he drafts. The ladder would be the worst case scenario. The former I think can be overcome eventually (although whether that's this year remains to be seen. I think the SB window is gonna be between now and the end of next season.)
