Ravens news: Anthony Weaver learned his lesson from calling Saints' Tyler Shough 'poor man's Josh Allen'

In the aftermath of the New Orleans Saints' impressive Week 2 win over the Baltimore Ravens, Ravens defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver learned a valuable lesson from his comment. Weaver had praised Saints quarterback Tyler Shough, dubbing him "the poor man's Josh Allen", a compliment aimed at acknowledging Shough's remarkable skill and athletic ability.

However, Weaver later admitted that this remark was the very factor that contributed to Shough's impressive performance, catapulting him over the goal line. Weaver had previously spoken highly of Shough's talent, noting his exceptional arm strength and athleticism, and expressing confidence in the youngster's development under the Saints' offense.

Weaver's comment, while well-intentioned, demonstrated a lack of sensitivity and a tendency to exaggerate Shough's abilities.
