In Owings Mills, Maryland, the Baltimore Ravens’ head coach expressed unwavering faith in his star tight end, who has struggled to find his rhythm in recent games. Despite failing to catch a pass in consecutive outings for the first time in his career, the coach is convinced that his tight end will soon return to form.
In their latest victory, the tight end had a rare misstep, dropping a pass that would have resulted in a 15-yard gain. However, his coach was quick to praise his blocking skills, which played a crucial role in the team’s success on the ground.
The tight end, a three-time Pro Bowl selection, has been a favorite target for his quarterback over the past six seasons. However, through four games this season, he has only managed six catches for 65 yards, ranking him 30th among NFL tight ends and sixth on his own team.
The primary reason for his decline in productivity has been the team’s shift towards a run-heavy offense, led by their dominant running back. In the past two weeks, the team has only thrown the ball 34 times, a stark contrast to their usual aerial attack.
When asked about his tight end’s struggles, the coach downplayed concerns, saying he wouldn’t need to have a heart-to-heart with him because he knows everything is fine. The coach believes that his tight end is a star player who will soon break out of his slump, providing an additional weapon for the team’s offense.
However, it may take another week for the tight end to get back on track, as the team prepares to face a stingy defense that ranks 10th against the pass and 25th against the run.
