Players to watch for the Ravens?

[erod]

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

The problem is, they run the ball much like New Orleans, and the Ravens have a very physical defense. That's bad news for Dallas.

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.

totally agree

so basically we'll be blaming the OL a lot this game and front 7

Lamar’s legs, that’s about it. Contain him and they aren’t dangerous offensively.

Our oline is fine, but our QB can't throw these teams out of their aggressive fronts.

And we don't have defensive tackles. Still. So they'll un roughshod over us, and we'll kick field goals.

When you get whipped at the line of scrimmage like our guys everybody on the opposing offense is a threat.

step 1 is being able to stop the run. Step 2 is forcing them to punt not score back to back to back to back to back to back touchdowns lol
