OK, Brian Westbrook has left the Eagles, who are in denial about it, all the way down to Dorsey Levens at running back.

Don't you figure you can stop the run with 6 guys?

I think I could play pass rush specialists and nickel linebackers (if I have one of the latter, Coakley and Singleton are already that kind of LB) most of the game.

If the Eagles' offense can't be shut down with Dorsey Levens at halfback, I don't think it can be.

It might be a long day for Donovan if Baltimore knows he has no running game. Not that the Ravens offense helps out much.

I am not a big Ravens fan wither, but I hope they crush the Eagles.

On monday, the Ravens are my favorite football team.

Dorsey Levens actually played pretty good last week. He was availble to them after the season started. He played better than EG has all year.

Ravens are missing Heap and Jamal though, it will be tough for them to score other than counting on their defense as usual.

Chester Taylor is no slouch.

Chester Taylor is no slouch.IMO, Boller stinks and not having Heap really hurts what little that offense has. Taylor is no slouch, but he isn't close to being Jamal. If TO gets hot early, they won't be able to catch up.

Without Lewis, Bmore will rely solely on the defense to keep them in the game.

That defense is sick though.

And possibly Jonathon Ogden.

Yeah, he went down hard last week, looked like he pulled his hammy pretty good. No Ogden will really kill that line, it sure did week 1.

If he could take it I'd never take Deion off the field. 5 D-backs on any down lacking over 3 yards to the yellow line. I'd tell Suggs to ignore anything but Donovan Mcnabb and getting to him.

He's questionable.

On offense for Baltimore, on passing plays I'd try to bring in a lot of max protect packages. I don't think the Eagles corners have really been tested deep, the Ravens receivers, Johnson and Taylor, though they have not been productive, are pretty fast and Boller has a Big Arm. If Boller and one of those two (or both put together) can duplicate the Palmer-Johnson Big Play performance of last Monday, the Ravens can win.
