Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey accused fans of overreacting to the team’s recent struggles following the 36-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills. His comments didn’t sit well with supporters and analysts.
Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey recently criticized fans for overreacting to the team's struggles following a loss to the Buffalo Bills. Former NFL tight end Shannon Sharpe, speaking on NightCap, expressed no sympathy for Humphrey, stating that the backlash is a result of Humphrey's actions. "You did it to yourself," Sharpe declared.
"You were an All-Pro at one point in time, and now you look nothing like yourself. But guess what? If you spent as much time in your playbook or trying to get better as you do on your podcast, I guarantee you things would turn around."
Humphrey expressed disappointment with fans after a win in which some said, "y'all almost lost today." The cornerback also discussed how fan criticism can impact the locker room, referencing a conversation with defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver. Weaver mentioned that some players feel the negative perceptions from fans can be infectious, affecting their performance.
Sharpe also suggested the Ravens become trade targets, moving older players off the team in light of the upcoming deadline. Following Humphrey's comments, the Ravens suffered another loss, a 33-10 defeat against the Jacksonville Jaguars, bringing their record to 4-5.
