They have lots of things to take what the defense is giving you, and I think that's what Giants fans will really appreciate about Malkin.
So if you go back to Georgia when he won the national championship and he had a couple of years there, he was a tight end heavy team, but he did have good tight ends.
He inherited a team that is the heaviest team of all time if you measure tight ends plus fullbacks plus OL6s per play.
So at the end of the Roman era in 22, they were at 2.35 per play.
You only have five eligible receivers for, I know you know that, Bobby, but a lot of people maybe listening wouldn't immediately put their pieces together.
You got one running back on the, on the field at almost every place.
That means you got 1.65 receivers on average.
And that's going to seem very low to most people who are, who are NFL fans, 11 personnel.
You have three, of course.
So he, he, he inherited that it's part of the Ravens DNA to DNA to run the ball like that.
Plus they had a quality tight ends.
Now that they've had more quality receivers, they've still stuck with a fairly heavy grouping.
And you mentioned the lowest in 11 personnel.
They're,
They're still the heaviest team in terms of the heavy usage, as I've talked before, about one point eight five per play now.
But, you know, there's not a there's not like a there wasn't a tremendous move to 11 personnel when he got here.
He inherited a scheme that was pretty good and he built upon it with some additional passing concepts.
It depends if the Ravens really want to overpay.
I mean, the Ravens have no interior offensive lineman who is a sure thing to start for the team next year right now.
So Daniel Follett, they'd probably be moving on.
