The Baltimore Ravens have plenty of things to work on following their 31-24 win over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 8. The team struggled consistently on offense, but defensively stepped up to the play for the most part in order to secure the victory.
After the game, Baltimore head coach John Harbaugh talked about the game flow that transpired with some questions about their play calling throughout the contest. He talked about offensive coordinator Todd Monken, mentioning that he criticizes himself hard and that he has his reasoning for the play-calling being what it is
“No. I just felt like that’s the way the game was called. We’ll definitely look at it. We’re going to be our own worst critiques. Nobody’s their own worst critique more than our play caller [offensive coordinator Todd Monken]. I promise you that. He criticizes himself pretty hard, and he’ll look at all that. There’s a reason for doing that. I think we were attacking some things. We were trying to go right at them and attack them in certain ways with their coverage. We had some success doing it, but to get the run game going in the second half was big. Gus [Edwards] had 80 yards [and] three touchdowns. It’s a pretty big deal.”
