Ravens look to maintain offensive line success

The Athletic’s Sheil Kapadia analyzes Baltimore's 2019 and offseason as he previews 2020, using TruMedia’s EPA model:

“Up front, (Marshall) Yanda’s retirement is a big loss. He was the top-ranked pass-blocking guard according to ESPN’s pass-block win rate metric. But overall, the Ravens return four of five starters on a unit that ranked second in pass-block win rate. Ronnie Stanley and Orlando Brown ranked fourth and sixth, respectively, among tackles. The Titans were the only other team with two tackles ranked in the top 10. Jackson was sacked or hit on 15.6 percent of his pass plays, which was the fifth-lowest rate for any starter. That’s especially impressive, considering Jackson got rid of the ball in 2.5 seconds or less on just 33.7 percent of his dropbacks; that ranked 32nd out of 38 quarterbacks. According to TruMedia, no team was hurt less (using EPA) by sacks than the Ravens.”
