In the wake of the Baltimore Ravens' decisive victory over the Denver Broncos, linebacker Roquan Smith expressed confidence in the team's defensive capabilities despite ongoing struggles. Although the Ravens achieved a 41-10 win, concerns linger about their defensive performance, particularly in pass coverage.
Smith's individual metrics have raised eyebrows, as he ranks poorly among linebackers in coverage, allowing significant yardage. The Ravens' coaching staff, including John Harbaugh, emphasizes the importance of communication and teamwork to address these issues moving forward.
As the Ravens prepare to face the Cincinnati Bengals, the pressure mounts on Smith to improve, especially given the Bengals' offensive strengths. The team's journey to enhance their defense remains a work in progress.
