Film Study: How the Baltimore Ravens Defense DOMINATED CJ Stroud and the Houston Texans 

It was pretty cool looking played in reverse.

Not true

@@antwonlatimer4146who’s faster? Just curious

I mean he played at Ohio state. It’s not like he isn’t used to the cold. It’s the same state

don't think it's weather as much as it is facing probably the best defense and with an offensive scheme that didn't or couldn't do enough with what the Texans had

He started making it in the 3rd quarter

Ikr

Literally no one said that 🤦

@@H0rser you must not be paying attention if you didn’t see that Stroud was getting a lot,of media attention. The media keeps repeating that LAmar can’t win playoffs, how can you deny that they say that?

@@klardfarkus3891 Why are you saying LAmar it is Lamar

He does throw better than Lamar and he did throw better than Lamar. Lamar made some weak throws and got bailed.

Did Stroud have a bunch of missed passes or something? the issue was a WR room that had zero depth behind Nico Collins and Stroud never had anywhere to throw the ball to when he did buy time.

3 points and capitalizing on a botched punt is hardly great but okay.

He played at Ohio state he was just fine

Or just a good defense in general? I don't recall it being cold in all 7 games they lost.

​@@macgobhann8712 cj stroud is very good this texans team overall is just outclassed by the ravens

I mean when you have a team full of all pros your bound to look amazing

Baltimore shows that on tape vs everyone your o line did fine

@@coreyjones1440 you must have just read the stat sheet cause CJ was out of the pocket damn near more than he was in the pocket....

@@lucuix9901 yea I just said Baltimore put that on tape against everyone it’s not because the o line was bad but Baltimore has just been better and has shown the ability to do that against everyone

Lamar is on a 7 game win streak

They have tank dell and Nico alreasy

for real. zero depth past Nico Collins or Tank Dell and both of those guys will likely never give us a full season. adding a third premier WR would be a good business decision as it would give a good insurance policy for whenever Dell or Collins is out. that way our offense can't get shut down like it did against the jets, or the Ravens.

@@jakewoodisgood1 woods metchie Noah brown and hutchison

@@maxwelloverton5543 Woods had 1 good game, and maybe another 2 or 3 okay games. Metchie had so many opportunities this year to step up and largely failed all of those opportunities. It's a fine WR room if our top 2 guys weren't such an injury risk, but they are and it cost us on many occasions this year.

@@jakewoodisgood1you wanna talk about giving full seasons then let’s talk about tee. He’s always getting injured

And the opposing offense never entered the red zone.

@@chipschannel9494 That too.

Gives me confidence against the chiefs even mahomes can come in and do everything right but this defense and those long drives are gonna wear them down and it’s gonna look close to something like this by the end… I’d say ravens win 31-20

@@Reality_ooLong drives over and over get a defense more worn out than anyone… I’m a Chiefs fan and can’t wait for this matchup tho!

@@Reality_oo Chiefs got a running game

Literally no body was saying that

@@1reefsharkof course some were. What an actual lot of people were saying was oh boy here we go with the ravens and Lamar Jackson in the playoffs, this could be very ugly, ravens are reg season warriors etc. I feel like very few were expecting a game that wasn’t anywhere close in the end

@@joshhoffman5233 I thought 9.5 spread was disrespectful but guess not

@@nuckels188 for real. I didn’t think it was disrespectful exactly. I just thought it would be a tighter game for multiple reasons

Penalties and Ravens strong coverage got them. Never passed the Balt 27.

Texans had 0 snaps inside the Ravens 25 yard line. Defense showed up when it mattered. As did the crowd which caused 6 false starts.

His o line was horrible all game and they couldn’t even get one rushing yard most of the time. This loss had nothing to do with Stroud. You are out of your mind.

​@@williamjohn640he wasn't sacked a single time. He created time and space to make some throws, which is a good trait from him, he was just missing them and not making the big plays that were needed to win the game. Texans run game has been bad all year, so that isn't anything new. Again, he ran into a good defense and crumbled, like I said. Same thing happened against the jets.

3tds and 270+ passing yards and 24 pts against a top browns defense in ONE HALF in a playoff game. 260+ yds and 2 tds against a stout colts defense in a win and in game in week 18. 350+ yds and 3 tds against a red hot bengals team coming off a 4 game win streak in cincinnati. I’m struggling to see the “struggle” against good defenses. His only struggle was against the jets right after losing tank dell and in the rain. Stroud was out his 2nd and 3rd best receivers this game with 36 yds rushing. Where here do you see strouds struggle and where do you see an expectancy for a regression in year two. The texans can only improve… Better run game, return of tank dell, nico collins, and the possible addition of a new wr are all very likely and will only make this offense 10x better. You have no idea what you are talking about and your ignorance with the generalization of comments is comical.

I don't even kno if marlo is the best corner anymore...He's the only one that gets cookef

Cooked

@@DSRKing23 he’s the best corner but coverage wise he might not be. Hes a sure tackler physical and doesn’t blow coverage but he fosho gets beat now bc of all his injuries he can’t stay healthy anymore and lost a step. He really should be there nickel full time now

I would say it's more of a indictment on the browns. They were the 32nd ranked defense away from home this year. The Panthers could have probably won that game.

He only get cooked the games he return from injury that’s what scares me about him coming back 🤣 but that’s my guy tho

give credit to the Ravens dline 🤷🏾‍♂️

@@jau.tumn14 yeah they did good but the Texans Oline played really bad tonight

@@HypedTexansFanthey weren’t gonna be able to run on bmore anyway but I thought the line protected CJ well considering the defense they played.

@@jacobsims8307 there was a guy in Stroud face almost every pass play tho

It was bad need a new o line

nope, the issue was much more the depth of our WR room. all they needed to do was shut down Nico Collins and no other WR can get a blade of grass of separation. rain was an issue in the Jets game, but once again the bigger issue was near zero separation for the WRs. it's not like Stroud was missing throw after throw, and he was buying time all game, but no one could get open. We need to sign a third premier WR in free agency because Dell and Collins are all we have and those guys will likely always deal with injury problems. we really need at least two good WRs on the field to have a good chance against a defense like that.

​@@jakewoodisgood1if your QB was able to throw good balls into coverage and fit it into tight windows, this wouldn't be a problem. Asking your receivers to get wide open on every play is making them do way too much heavy lifting. What needs to happen is CJ needs to improve on more difficult throws and relying less on busted coverage and wide open receivers.

Lamar can beat you with his arm go back and watch the dolphins game dude had more tds than incompletions, I know the dolphins d isn’t the most impressive but even the worst defenses don’t allow that to happen. The 49ers forced him to throw as well and he picked them apart. Stroud feasted on busted coverage got to get better at processing and that o line needs to block better

@@macgobhann8712bros a d1 stroud dickrider hater lmao

@@FlagShipFantasy he didn't have a processing issue? He wasn't rattled and he remained poised despite his terrible O-line play. Zero run game support as well. The real issue is Texans had zero depth at WR passed Nico Collins and so there just wasn't anywhere to go with the ball against that crazy good secondary

3 starters out you know. Center was the 4th choice due to injuries.

@@DianaRussia531 idk if i can blame it on that he does this every year good player just way too many false starts

Please.Tunsil is awesome. Rest of the weak O line needs to step up

@@Texansfan59 Yeah, replace the 4x pro bowler...You people are dumb as hell

Tunsil is one of the best in the league and carries your oline. Trading him would be the dumbest thing possible.

It’s almost as if the ravens are the best team in the nfl

@@elbodlo14 both can be true. Ravens likely too much even if everyone healthy.

@@DianaRussia531ravens are missing some of their best players as well. Injuries happen no excuses

@@appleseed445 no shit, I just stated that most of the line is gone and said Ravens likely win anyway...that's why I worded it like I did

@@DianaRussia531 Tank Dell would have made it a closer fight for sure. he was low key even more important than Nico Collins at times. i am hoping to see either Lamar and Josh Allen get a SB win this year. Both those guys deserve a ring

So they only got 22 yds with 2 ypc because of penalties?

So they score 0 points on offense and didn't get further than the 25 yard line because of penalties? Texans has a good offense that was defeated by a great defense. Don't try to make shit up

@@Leitefsj if you remember they had a drive that was going to go into Ravens territory before Slowick made one of his worst calls all year with a trick play that required a clean backfield when the Texans didn’t have such all game that completely derailed the drive. Take note of the second part. All of the Texans drives were derailed by penalty or bad play design. It’s not a knock on the Ravens they did exactly what the Texans offense made them do, not too much. The Texans offense got in its own way and stopped itself from being a challenge for the ravens.

@@1reefsharkhe had to call a trick play the only drives they had they had to convert 3rd down after 3rd down fighting for every inch so I can’t blame the man for trying to manufacture a chunk play the kicker had already missed in the wind and everything

@@coreyjones1440 it was bad because it was a long developing play that gets blown up by a muddy backfield. To that point they had never created a clean backfield thus the result of it failing miserably should have been predictable. He had a plan to run this play and refused to divert even though it was clear it didn’t have a chance.

The WRs gave Stroud no chance. Stroud was able to buy time all night, but once they took away Collins no one else could get open to save their lives. much like the Jets game.

@@jakewoodisgood1 “buytime” lmao no pal he was running for his life with pressure immediately the wrs can’t develop routes when the qb is forced to run the pocket every play. The oline sold miserably and that’s not even considering the flags

@@gradystanley5812 I saw plenty of times Stroud scrambling and under duress, and extending the play long enough that somebody should have been able to come open. He wasn't comfortable back there, but he wasn't sacked a single time.

@@jakewoodisgood1 bc he was running for his live forcing the ball away🤣🤣🤣 they got presser on over 80% of snaps🤣 this insnot a matter of opinion multiple flags on them alone and let up 10 pressures 🤣 woulda been 8 sacks allowed if cj doesn’t know how to get ride of the ball
