Baltimore improved to 7-3 and is in a complete lot higher place to win the division than the Bengals. But with the best way the protection is taking part in, even Ravens gamers query how lengthy this will final.
“Wins are getting more durable to take pleasure in primarily based off what we’re doing within the move protection,” Humphrey mentioned. “You know, I really feel like after I was a rookie, first yr man, second yr man, that is how I regarded as much as the usual that was there. In the move protection, we have actually misplaced that customary.
“I really feel like that falls on me. We’re going to maintain chasing at it. We’re going to maintain working at it as a result of I’m probably not glad with what I’ve constructed on this secondary, the place it is gone. I simply do not suppose taking part in like this, we will go far. It’s cool we’re profitable. It’s nice profitable. But I wish to go far. I wish to go to the top.”
Like he mentioned this week, Humphrey once more pointed to a disconnect between how the Ravens are practising and the way they’re taking part in. He mentioned each participant has to look within the mirror and ask themselves why they are not taking part in like they’re practising. Losing Kyle Hamilton to an ankle harm within the first half definitely did not assist both.
“It’s turning into extra of a psychological factor, I feel,” Humphrey mentioned. “It can be completely different if we did not have any guys that may play.”
Baltimore’s top-ranked offense, led by Lamar Jackson, continues to tear up the remainder of the league and rallied from 14 factors all the way down to win Thursday evening at M&T Bank Stadium. But Humphrey needs the protection to hold its share of the load.
“We’re just like the little brothers proper now. [Lamar is] carrying us, which is cool. But it is not. I need to have the ability to finish the sport on protection,” Humphrey mentioned.
“The frustration actually comes from the dearth of simply doing all your job. It’d be completely different if we did not have the blokes. It’d be completely different if we have been confused. It’s simply easy. We’re simply not taking part in how we’re practising. … We’ve acquired to get it fastened. It’s Week 10.”
