Who stands out to you on the Ravens, and how can we slow them down/stop them???

I noticed in the 1st game of the season, it seemed as if the Ravens threw a lot only to Flowers, seems kind of one dimensional in their passing game, please give your thoughts on the players we need to look out for

We need to somehow contain Lamar Jackson. He loves to run, and you how we are against the run!! I suppose we need to account for Derrick Henry too.

Ravens are 0-2, we are 1-1
Contain Lamar, watch out for Flowers. Will Henry have a breakout game against our defense. Since they could not stop Kamara.

Their defense, the entire defense against our poor run game. So this will be on Dak, again. Can't settle for FG's.

I'm assuming the KING may have some bad feelings towards us for not even bringing him in for a cup of coffee, he may run wild!! Jackson yeah he may break the QB running record lol

you're saying we can't settle for something that we love, that makes no sense!!!!! 3 pts vs touchdowns, we're taking the 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They definitely don't have the weapons to threaten us in the passing game like the Saints. I expect our run D to be better because their passing game is underwhelming so we should be able to focus on stopping Henry and Lamar, much like they did with Ford and Watson.

Balty isn’t losing 3 in a row folks. Not to a finesse team
We actually, for some odd reason tend to have more success on defense with the big bruising backs then the guys in the McCaffrey, Aron Jones, Kamara (obviously) mold.

The problem is we’re not that great at the running QB, and this is the top one.

Does it matter ....... I am worried about the Cowboys more than any opponent.

Any QB that can move just a little will have the game of his life on the ground running around lol it seems

Their tight ends could be a test for our linebackers/safeties. Likely showed up big time vs the Chiefs. Andrews has been a non factor the first two games but historically he's a great TE.
They don't have much depth at WR, but their T.E.'s are their #2/#3 on paper.

The Ravens defense is really what worries me. I actually think the Cowboys have the horses to match up with their offense.

They have really good players at all three levels of the defense though.

They have multiple big boys on the interior who are 6'3" 315+lbs. Odafe Oweh is a very underrated edge player who I can see as a bad matchup for Guyton. Oweh has very long arms along with a good combo of speed and power rush moves. Guyton is going to have to play disciplined and get his hands on Oweh without reaching as he has done at times this year. Kyle Hamilton and Marcus Williams are excellent DBs on the back end who could take away the deeper routes and force a lot of underneath throws as we saw yesterday. Then they have one of the best backers in football in Roquan Smith.

On the other side of the ball I can see the Cowboys putting Diggs on an island since they really dont have a great #1 receiver. This allows Zim to roll coverage over to help the rookie Carson or commit extra resources to the run game.

I wouldnt be surprised at all if this isnt a defensive struggle all game and ends up being some ugly 17-16 type of final score.

yeah that doesn't mean anything, we have a way of making anyone look amazing no matter how they've been playing
