Ravens - top defense against the rush

[waldoputty]

Top defense against the rush.
Where have I heard that before?
Packers? Eagles? is that right?

They play the 3-4, apparently Jernigan (high pick) and Williams are stout against the run.
22 sacks - Jernigan and Suggs have most of their sacks
DT 99 Jernigan, Timmy 14/2 300 lbs 69 Henry, Willie 16/4
NT 98 Williams, Brandon 13/3 330lbs 78 Pierce, Michael CF16
DE 93 Guy, Lawrence 308 lbs W/SD 96 Urban, Brent 14/4

On offense, their entire teams has 773 yards of rushing, primarily with Terrance West.
Best receiver is Mike Wallace
Flacco has 9 td and 9 int
Ol in state of flux due to injuries to LG, C is dinged and RG has shoulder issues.
Until playing the Browns, their offense had issues

 

[Elusive6thRing]

Yeah they haven't faced many great running backs, til next Sunday.

 

[StarHead69]

I'm taking my 14 yr old son to his first game Sunday. Both of us are expecting the Ravens to drop quite a bit in the defensive rankings after Zeke and the O-Line get through with them.

 

[Teague31]

So was GB

 

[Don Corleone]

Each game will be tough from here on out.

What did the little girl say in the movie Aliens? "It won't make any difference."

 

[hornitosmonster]

How many teams stay the #1 defense after they play the Boys?

None do

 

[waldoputty]

This is who the Ravens played already - they lost to the Raiders, Commanders, Giants and Jets
They won twice against Cleveland.

The RB they faced was Shady who got only 58 yards and Matt Jones who only got 31 yards.
Crowell (Browns) had 1 good game out of 2, and got 133 yards rushing.

[conner01]

It will be a tough battle but in the end the oline will wear them down and zeke will have a good game
We just have to get the penalties back under control and not turn it over
Look for Beasley to make a big impact

 

[Blackspider214]

Each game will be tough from here on out.

Some more than others, though. We have to beat Baltimore and Tampa, though. Those would be bad losses.

Giants and Eagles on the road still scare me.

Of the teams they beat which ones had a good passing game also. They have not played a good running back and qb combo all year.

they only played 3 teams with decent passing game - giants, Commanders, raiders - lost to all 3.

 

[Eric_Boyer]

their fan base really thinks their defense is something.

Steelers?

Steelers?

oh yes, ben's first game back was a bad one

 

[SportsGuru80]

This will be a tough game....

 

[waldoputty]

This will be a tough game....

on paper, Steelers are a much better team than Ravens on offense.
on defense, not sure, though Steelers put a lot of pressure on Dak.

Good luck, hope the boys blast em.

I dont know why you feel that way, the Boys have been pretty successful on the road over the years (especially against the East). If they can handle Lambeau and The Ketchup Bottle, they can handle Jersey and Philly

 

[Toruk_Makto]

I was more afraid of the Steelers than the Ravens.

The Ravens are not a good team.

They are a great defense, IMO not the giants of eagles but very good. In the Aikman ratings the ravens have the 32nd offense and the 2nd defense in the league, interesting combination which plays to our strengths. Having watched them multiple time this year the defense keeps them in games. Flacco is not a juggernaut like Brady, or some of the other good Qb's the boys have faced this year and he will throw some questionable passes which have placed the defense in precarious positions. By no means will it be easy as they will be working on ten days rest after playing the Browns on last Thursday's night game of the week. Time to tighten up our big boy pants and go to work. Only easy day was yesterday...
