LeSean McCoy Says Ravens Are ‘Flawless’
The Ravens have assembled perhaps the best roster in the NFL. Do they have any missing pieces at this point?
The crew at FS1’s “The Facility” addressed the question, and the consensus was that the Ravens have everything they need.
“I think this team is flawless,” former NFL running back and two-time Super Bowl winner LeSean McCoy said.
Emmanuel Acho said: “I don’t think there’s a team roster-wise in the AFC like the Ravens. I don’t think the Ravens are missing any pieces. From the offensive line perspective, they’re stout. Quarterback: MVP. Running back: Future Hall of Famer. Tight ends: Next level. Defensive line: Check. Linebackers: Top two linebacker in all of football. Cornerbacks: May have the best cornerback tandem, including the nickelback, in all of football. Safeties: As long as Malaki Starks is who we expect him to be, they have the best safety tandem in football, and at a minimum, they have a top two safety in football in Kyle Hamilton.”
Acho said the only possible missing piece is a No. 1 wide receiver. Will Blackmon concurred but added that “Zay [Flowers] can be that guy” and “we’re nitpicking trying to find one thing.”
It could be argued that Flowers is already “that guy” as he enters Year 3. The 2023 first-rounder became the first Ravens wide receiver to make the Pro Bowl last season, as he accumulated 1,059 receiving yards in a balanced offense with no shortage of weapons.
“I think when you have a guy like [Derrick] Henry, you don’t need a No. 1 wide receiver,” McCoy said. “Like last year, for example. Lamar [Jackson] had a phenomenal year throwing the ball, but Derrick Henry had 1,900 yards. So, they threw the ball well and they ran the ball well. As a defense, it’s hard to really stop this team and defend them.”
