Baltimore Ravens Shockingly Sidelined Former Pro Bowler Jaire Alexander Ahead of Miami Dolphins Game
The Baltimore Ravens' desperation is palpable as they prepare to face off against the Miami Dolphins in Week 9. In a move that has left fans and pundits alike scratching their heads, the team has decided not to start former Pro Bowl cornerback Jaire Alexander, who was signed by the Ravens just months ago.
Alexander's arrival was met with high hopes from Ravens supporters, who had expected him to return to form after his impressive stint in Green Bay. However, things have taken a drastic turn since then. With only two games played and no injuries reported, Alexander has struggled to make an impact, notching up scores of over 40 points against the Ravens' own defense.
In fact, it's been suggested that when Alexander is on the field, his absence becomes glaringly apparent. Last week's 30-16 win over the Chicago Bears was a prime example, with the Ravens' secondary stepping up to contain the Bears' offense without him. It seems clear that the team has lost confidence in Alexander's abilities.
The decision not to start Alexander has sparked concerns about his future with the Ravens, who are still reeling from their current slump. At just 28 years old, Alexander is entering what should be the prime of his career, and this latest setback raises questions about whether he'll ever regain his former form.
As the Ravens look to turn their season around, they must now decide if Alexander's time in Baltimore has come and gone. For now, it seems that sitting him down may be the best decision for the team, even if it means watching one of their most prized players collect dust on the sidelines.

. It feels like they're putting all their eggs in one basket with their young players and not giving Jaire Alexander enough time to settle into the system. I think it's a shame, given his talent and experience, but it seems like they've lost faith in him 
. It raises questions about whether he'll bounce back from this slump or if this is a sign of something deeper going on 
. The Ravens' decision may be pragmatic, but it also feels like a missed opportunity to get the most out of their roster 
.
. They're clearly trying to get him back on track, but at what cost? Sitting him down might be the best move for now, but it's hard to shake the feeling that they've missed an opportunity 
.
. They're actually one of the top units in the league right now 
. Meanwhile, Jaire Alexander is sitting on the bench collecting a paycheck 
. It's like they're trying to teach him a lesson without giving him any playing time 
.
. The Ravens are 2-6, and Alexander has been the only one who's actually shown up 
️. But at 28 years old, he needs to start producing, or he'll be done in Baltimore 
. The question is: can they fix this before it's too late? 
I'm not sure what's going on with Jaire Alexander right now... He was supposed to be a game-changer, but things just aren't clicking. 
Like seriously what is goin on wit Jaire Alexander?! He's like, a former Pro Bowler and every1 thought he was gonna be the savior for Baltimore... but nope! 
They're just gonna sit him out against Miami? I mean I get it, he hasn't been doin so great, but come on! 
Maybe Ravens just need to figure out how to make him feel confident again? 
I'm not surprised tho... Alexander just didn't look right out there 
and now they're relying on them? 
The Ravens need a win ASAP 
. And yeah, maybe he struggled against their own defense last week 
I was thinking about how much I love the highway when you're driving, you know? The open road and nothing but music and thought for miles 
Anyway, it made me think of how some football teams are kinda like that - just cruising along, feeling confident, and then BAM! Something goes wrong 
what did they expect him to do in 2 short games?! 
. Can we get some updates on what's really going on behind the scenes? I need to know if this is just another case of a coach trying to make a move or if there's something more going on

The Ravens really dropped the ball on Jaire Alexander... I get it, not every player clicks right away, but two games and no progress? That's some next-level disappointing 
maybe sitting him down will help them figure things out but at the same time u dont wanna be that guy who benched ur top cornerback 
anyways hopefully ravens get it together soon
