The Ravens need to take more chances on the backend. Femi Ayanbadejo, Tim Barbalace, and Ken Weinman discuss how playing conservatively hasn't slowed down opposing QB's and if they're going to get beat, it'd benefit them to take a chance at being too aggressive.

00:00i haven't done another depth analysis on the safety since i told you that they are the third
00:04deepest group of safeties in the nfl at 12.8 yards you know per cover two look um i don't
00:11think and
00:12tim this goes back to all the data that we've talked about in regard to how the middle of the
00:16field for them has been vulnerable right like quarterbacks and it was a couple weeks ago but
00:19i doubt it's probably not better but the passer rating yes trevor lard killed exactly it was like
00:25117 going into like the bangles game and it's probably worse now and for those that don't
00:30know 117 like if you're if you're 117 lamar jackson and brock purdy have the highest passer ratings in
00:34nfl history they're both somewhere in the 102 103 range so imagine when you're giving up 117
00:40that's that's your average like that's what you do every game everybody's an all pro and when you
00:45play against this defense and that and i'm not trying to be pejorative i'm not trying to make
00:48jokes i'm being dead serious so for me anything anything other than that is going to be better
00:53in my opinion and i don't care if you get burnt i just care about the aggression and the idea
00:57that
00:57you accept the fact and was it wink that used to say one way or the other the band is
01:02going to play
01:02either for us or against us and i'm okay with both you know what i mean because that's what i'm
01:06trying
01:06to do you have to lean into the chaos and the pressure part of it because the the idea of
01:11being
01:11conservative we've we saw the best defense get microwaved in the fourth quarter because they
01:16were out there too long this defense is looking at the same thing and they're not that defense so
01:20what do you think that means that means they need to do something that says caution to the wind
01:24be aggressive and whatever happens happens we can live with it
