Ravens Shake Up Defensive Snap Counts vs. Eagles

The Ravens aren't going to like their report card from Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

For the first time this season, no player received a Pro Football Focus (PFF) grade of at least 80.0.

Perhaps the biggest takeaway, however, was the Ravens' changes in snap counts against the Eagles.

Here are the top takeaways from the grades and snap counts:

  • Outside linebacker Odafe Oweh only played 15 snaps (27%) while Tavius Robinson had 52 (93%), which is a career-high by far. Robinson had four tackles, including one for loss. Robinson's snaps have climbed the past three weeks and going against a big, physical Eagles offensive line, the Ravens countered with their big, physical edge setter. David Ojabo played eight snaps.
  • Even with wide receiver Rashod Bateman leaving the game early with a knee injury, Diontae Johnson didn't see any snaps. Tylan Wallace and Nelson Agholor each had 40 offensive snaps. Head Coach John Harbaugh said he didn't have enough information Sunday night about why Johnson didn't play, but he will comment on that at a later time.
  • Inside linebackers Malik Harrison (38 snaps) and Chris Board (32) out-snapped Trenton Simpson (22) again. This could again be part of going against a run-heavy, physical team.
  • After missing last week's game due to a hamstring injury, Roquan Smith was back to playing 100% of the snaps and had one of the defense's top grades. Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson said Smith was calling out the Eagles' plays.
  • Rookie right tackle Roger Rosengarten got the team's highest grade with a 79.6. He gave up a team-low one pressure, per PFF. Left guard Patrick Mekari was credited with surrendering nine pressures, Ronnie Stanley had four, and Daniel Faalele and Tyler Linderbaum had two each.
  • Tight end Mark Andrews continued his torrid play, catching a team-high six passes for 67 yards and a touchdown. His touchdown catch over multiple Eagles defenders had an 18.1% completion probability, per NextGenStats. Across the NFL, that was the 14th-least probable touchdown catch of the season and 27th-least probable catch overall. Andrews played 74% of the Ravens' snaps, tied for the second-most he's seen this season.
  • Cornerback Marlon Humphrey got the highest grade on the defense with a 74.9, boosted by his sack (shared with Smith) in the first quarter. Humphrey also had the team's highest coverage grade and didn't allow a catch, per PFF.
