They’re facing a long list of decisions, starting with the selection of a new defensive coordinator, and obviously, they need to make more good choices than bad while navigating free agency, the draft, coaching and tactical changes, contract extensions, etc.
But a guiding principle throughout the season of decision-making should be that the choices help the Ravens double down on who they already are.
That’s how they can rejoin the grand spectacle of playoff theater. Not by reinventing themselves, becoming something they aren’t, just because they didn’t make it this season. Just do a better job of what they’re already doing, which produced quite a record of success until 2021.
