Henry was on his knees, not exactly some great knockout

Yeah he was on his knees because he knew he was about to get fucking smacked.

He was going to his knees. But don’t kid yourself, he got popped.

I would hope so, he was on his knees unprotected.

What are you, fucking the guy? You also realize that you aren't down in the NFL until contact is made, right? Unless you slide, which he didn't.

Do us a favor and shut the fuck up. None of us are Ravens fans who might actually care.

Late for Work 2/10: Pro Football Focus Names DeShon Elliott as Ravens' Most Improved Player 

 Joe Schiller       Feb 10, 2021

DeShon Elliott Was Ravens' Most Improved Player

There were questions as to how the Ravens would fill the void at safety following the release of Earl Thomas III, but it opened the door for DeShon Elliott, who Pro Football Focus' Ben Linsey says was the Ravens' most improved player this season.

"Elliott gets the nod not because his quality of play significantly improved – his PFF grade actually fell slightly from 69.7 in 2019 to 69.6 this past season – but because he delivered a solid performance in a full-time starting role after playing just 40 defensive snaps across his first two seasons in the NFL," Linsey wrote. "The Earl Thomas saga opened up a starting safety job, and Elliott claimed it, playing over 1,000 snaps over the course of the year."

There was never a question about Elliott's talent. The sixth-round pick was an All-American and Thorpe Award finalist as one of college football's top defensive backs coming out of Texas.

The question was Elliott's health, after he suffered season-ending injuries both of his first two years in the league.

That didn't turn out to be a problem as Elliott stepped into the starting safety role alongside Chuck Clark and started all 16 games during the regular season. He finished with 80 tackles, four passes defensed, two forced fumbles and 2.5 sacks, ranking as PFF's 27th best safety out of 93 qualifying players.

Teammates raved about Elliott's potential in pass coverage, but he also showed his big-hit ability on some of the league's biggest ball carriers.

 With one starting season under his belt, there's reason to believe Elliott will continue to improve. His versatility in coverage and tackling ability is important for Defensive Coordinator Wink Martindale, who is creative scheming up defensive backs.

Still, pundits like Ebony Bird's Michael Natelli think adding a third safety would help the secondary.

"Having a true ball hawk in the defensive backfield would allow Baltimore to play receivers tight while having the necessary help over the top that will allow corners like Marlon Humphrey and Marcus Peters to be tough and aggressive without getting burned for big plays," Natelli wrote. "This would also allow Elliot to play in his more natural strong safety position, and let Martindale deploy Clark in the box and as a matchup piece against tight ends like Travis Kelce."

Game saving tackle and some other very nice plays against the good guys yesterday

#188

That goal line tackle was as good as it gets.  Consider angle and RB momentum, that’s a TD 99 out of 100 times.

Tomlin seems to absolutely adore the guy

Gave him a big kiss on the head after his interception, and then he just had a PBU against the TE and they showed Tomlin cheesing like a proud father on the sidelines lol.
