There\u2019s no doubt about it.\u2019 Harbaugh said he\u2019s excited about the fact that they\u2019ve had big games offensively without Andrews being heavily involved.

Yet, it\u2019s no reason to believe better days lie ahead for Andrews, despite what his coach thinks.<\/p>\n<h2>John Harbaugh\u2019s Promise is Unrealistic<\/h2>\n<p>The Ravens have been winning without throwing to Andrews because of the strength of their running game. Specifically, the speed and power of two-time NFL rushing champion\u00a0Derrick Henry, who thoroughly dominated the Bills during a\u00a0209-yard night.<\/p>\n<p>Henry\u2019s\u00a024 carries\u00a0formed a big part of the reason Andrews was only targeted once against Buffalo. Harbaugh\u00a0acknowledged how a run-heavy offense\u00a0is impacting Andrews after Henry carried the ball 25 times during the 28-25 win over the\u00a0Dallas Cowboys\u00a0in Week 3.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s unlikely to change given how well Henry is performing. The 30-year-old tops the league rushing charts with 480 yards, \u201cthe most rushing yards any player has had through 4 team games since 2021 (Derrick Henry: 510),\u201d according to\u00a0ESPN Stats &amp; Info\u00a0(h\/t\u00a0ESPN\u2019s Jamison Hensley).<\/p>\n<p>Henry isn\u2019t even Andrews\u2019 only problem. There\u2019s also the emergence of fellow tight end\u00a0Isaiah Likely as a roving pass-catcher becoming more and more comfortable with Jackson.<\/p>\n<p>New targets cutting into his catches, as well as a prolific ground attack, means Andrews shouldn\u2019t wait for Harbaugh to keep his word. Instead, the veteran must modify his game to stay relevant.<\/p>\n<h2>Mark Andrews Need to Play a Different Game<\/h2>\n<p>Andrews is redefining his game to become a blocker first and receiver second. He was a force clearing defenders out of running lanes against the Cowboys, and the 29-year-old continued in the same way during the rout of the Bills.<\/p>\n<p>It was a key block by Andrews at the second level, highlighted by\u00a0Ravens.com Editorial Director Ryan Mink, that helped spring Henry for his 87-yard touchdown run in Week 4.<\/p>\n<p>Andrews and fellow tight ends like\u00a0Charlie Kolar\u00a0are becoming increasingly important parts of Baltimore\u2019s throwback rushing designs. Henry isn\u2019t the only one benefiting from playing with tight ends who can put defensive players on skates.<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_6_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-content adthrive-content-6 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/18190176,25816858\/AdThrive_Content_6\/5ad7479721520f50ab7da88e_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Jackson also had his\u00a0path to the end zone cleared\u00a0by Likely and Andrews. The latter turned around cornerback\u00a0Cam Lewis\u00a0(39) after both tight ends had lined up in the backfield as part of a clever scheme designed to free Jackson.<\/p>\n<p>Blocking tight ends who can dominate physical matchups are crucial to how the Ravens are moving the ball this season. That\u2019s bad news for Andrews\u2019 stat line, but good news for his willingness to mix it up on the deck.<\/p>\n<div id=\"adc2f3ad9fb6873bd6e04b6fd3dc1f6a\" class=\"embed_container\">\n<div class=\"tweet-container\">\n<article class=\"tweet-container_article\">\n<div class=\"tweet-container_header tweet-verified-business\"><\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Baltimore Ravens promise big games are coming for All-Pro tight end Mark Andrews, despite a lack of targets and catches.
