After the Baltimore Ravens lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers at home in Week 8, wideout Marquise Brown voiced his frustrations on Twitter, something head coach John Harbaugh was sympathetic about.
Brown was targeted only two times against the Steelers. While his one catch was a touchdown, the speedster clearly wanted more touches.
During his press conference with Ravens reporters on Monday, Harbaugh talked about Brown's tweet and frustrations:
“He did play the game like a solider. He was fighting very hard out there. . . . I promise you we’re trying to use all of our guys,” Ravens coach John Harbaugh said, via Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com.
“He’s probably a little frustrated. He’s not a selfish guy. I don’t believe he is for one second. If he was, he wouldn’t play as hard as he did or be the good guy that he is around the building.”
Marquise Brown has 27 receptions on the season for 379 yards and two touchdowns. The 23-year-old believes he should at least have more targets on the season for the Ravens, who are now 5-2 after losing to the Steelers by a final score of 28-24.
There's a lot of frustration on the Ravens' offensive side of the ball. Lamar Jackson and Co. have arguably the worst passing attack in the NFL right now.
That will have to change moving forward if Baltimore wants to make the playoffs and win a game in the postseason this time around.
The Ravens will face the Indianapolis Colts in Week 9. Let's see if Brown has a higher usage rate in that contest.
