In the first Ravens game, Eifert and Kroft had two catches a piece, and Uzomah three, IIRC. Mixon was able to find daylight as well. We are now down to Uzomah and Lengel. That's as big as, if not bigger than losing Green for a few games.
From what I've read and seen, this offense was going to rely heavily on the TEs.....that doesn't pan out so well when your 3rd stringer is now the #1.
I don't think people realize what Eifert brought to this offense. I believe even Lazor hinted that losing Eifert was going to be a challenge to him. If you look back the last couple of season without Eifert, this offense isn't the same.
