Ravens - top defense against the rush

[JohnsKey19]

I was more afraid of the Steelers than the Ravens.

The Ravens are not a good team.

Not a good team overall. But i do believe their defense will be a stiff challenge. They have the mass and talent up front to challenge our interior OL and clog up the running lanes. They also have some good players in the secondary. Fortunately their offense is doo-doo so we should have some short fields to work with. I could see this being a 23-16 type game.

No really. This one is our big test.

No really. This one is our big test.

Yes, I've heard that each week there is a test. Then upon passing this so called test the media claims we have a weak schedule.

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

Not just the rush they are ranked #1 defense in the league. 1st vs run and 5th vs pass. Offensively they have had issues and hopefully those issue continue. I think us fans can take this game lightly I don't think they Cowboys can or should. Flacco not the most consistent but he like getting the ball down field much like Big Ben. Looking at Pitt stats offensively was not impressive but the managed to put 30 points on the board and were 42 seconds from ending the Cowboys winning streak.

You are right each week is a test there are no sure things. Dallas got out of Pitt by the skin of their teeth, that was not an easy win. Cowboys had to fight for that and they will have to fight hard to continue to win.

They will do a good job on defense. On the other side of the ball if scandrick is healthy we should be ok. They are going to be missing both starting guards. IF we make them one dimensional flacco will give up the ball.

 

[Scotman]

They are only going to be ranked that high for a few more days. We are going to fix that.

Can't ask for a more beaten up offensive line than what the Ravens will trot out there Sunday. No Marshall Yanda. No Alex Lewis. Vlad Ducasse and John Urschel starting at guard. Ronnie Stanley is rusty returning from injury. Even C Jeremy Zuttah is nicked.

Now or never for the rush to be a factor.
