OTL: Lamar Jackson, Not Coaches, Ordered Removal of “Fun” from Locker Room

For the first time in what feels like years, things are looking up in Charm City. After an impressive Tyler Huntley-led victory over the previously surging Chicago Bears, the Ravens sit at 2-5 (yes, still not ideal) and two games back of the AFC North lead. Perhaps more importantly, their swagger is coming back:

And, as Dev notes, they have the opportunity to continue building on momentum before really going on a run. Before thinking about that, though, let’s look back at how they’ve collected themselves.

First and foremost, getting healthy is key, and the team continues to do so (for the most part):

I say “for the most part” for a few reasons. Obviously, there are some major caveats to Harbaugh’s statement that the full 53-man roster was available for the first time (most notably being the absence of Nnamdi Madubuike). Aside from that, the team did announce that DT Broderick Washington is headed for surgery.

Still, a healthy Roquan Smith, Patrick Ricard, and a rested team seemed to help tremendously.

Alongside those improvements, the acquisition of S Alohi Gilman continues to unlock Kyle Hamilton and the secondary at-large. Hamilton made a few standout plays, while Nate Wiggins continued to show up clutch:

Meanwhile, RB Keaton Mitchell was finally utilized more heavily, while RB Derrick Henry was relied upon in key situations:

While Nic Mason’s post highlights how Henry helped close things out, he also helped maintain control of the game. This likely opened things up for Mitchell, as well, but most importantly helped Baltimore stay ahead of the sticks (something I wrote about last week):

With Tyler Huntley stepping in, keeping him in comfortable spots had to be a priority, even with the phenomenal performance he put on. The Ravens stayed out of tricky third-and-long situations, allowing Huntley to excel.

Jackson may say he had no doubt in Huntley’s ability, but the game flow certainly helped him out:

Finally, and maybe most nebulously, was the removal of what I’ll call “games” from the locker room. In somewhat surprising news, it was revealed that this was not, in fact, the work of HC John Harbaugh. Instead, it was Jackson who made the call:

This really highlights Jackson’s mentality ahead of his return and for the remainder of the season. As he said on Tuesday, every game’s a must-win from here on out:

And for some in the media, that focus means trouble for upcoming opponents:

Of course, I don’t think an unthinkable Super Bowl run will be possible without reinforcements, which the Ravens are reportedly looking to make.

With the trade deadline approaching, there’s a few routes the GM Eric DeCosta can take. In my eyes, the top priority needs to be the D-Line:

For starters, how about a Calais Campbell reunion? The veteran continues to produce in Arizona, and would help both the run defense and pass rush:

If the team wants to make more of a splash, there’s a number of EDGE options available:

At the same time, the trenches are key on the offensive side, and while they’ve shown improvement, the names don’t instill too much confidence at the G position. That’s where Kevin Zeitler comes in:

I don’t expect Baltimore to mortgage the future too much, but theoretically, a combination of these is possible:

With that in mind, give me Campbell, Zeitler, and one of the EDGE guys. Onward!
