TBird Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 After the succesful running game last year under Kubes, the Ravens hired a pass happyCoord from Chicago. A lot of fans said there goes the run game which was ranked around#15 before Sundays game vs SD.. So last Sunday vs SD who has the 31st worse team vs the run, the Ravens went pass happythrowing 18 of the first 22 plays. In fairness SD over loaded the box with run blitzes and weren't too worried about their anemicreceiving corps. It work as SD led at half time but eventually they would lose as Ravens adjustedand ran more in the second half and won. Ravens will see a lot more of the over load the box defense with Ds not worrying too much abouttheir WRs. http://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/article-1/Eisenberg-Balance-Is-The-Key-To-Winning-More-Games/6d8a1c8f-9e41-4199-937a-641296c29559 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmax Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 You have to take what they give you. What teams know is that Joe doesn't throw well under pressure. They don't fear the Ravens receivers.So...stack the box, run blitz, which also is a form of pass blitzing, and try to live in the Ravens backfield. Givens could help by catching some big plays and burning some D's deep.Joe needs some quick outlet and dump off passes that gain some YAC yards. When the LB's and safeties press the line that does expose a defense. I'm sure the Ravens coaches and players know this.They just can't execute it....yet. Yet because the rumors are that this is one thing they are working during this bye week.Expect to see more of Gilmore, Williams and Boyle going out rather than staying in to block. They have to pull the LB's and safeties back and burn them.Givens going deep. Force teams to defend the whole field.Maybe one of these new guys works the slot like Brady's guys do. Force teams to defend the whole field and the Ravens will be off and running like last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papasmurfbell Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 So how many games can the Ravens rely on almost 10 guys from the other team getting hurt? More than anything in that game that is what won the game for the Ravens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc. Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 By that logic, are injuries to Suggs, Monroe, Perriman, etc responsible for Ravens losses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papasmurfbell Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Maybe Suggs. We have no idea what Perriman is. Monroe has played a lot. It is more losing guys in the game. You can make adjustments with a week of practice. You can only dress 46 on game day so a reserve DL or WR that could help is not dressed.

The passing game will then set up the running game too. But, are our receivers talented enough? That's what bothers me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Injuries hurt every team, to decide which do and don't matter is incredibly subjective Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papasmurfbell Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I am just saying that a game turning into a war of attrition is not a likely scenario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trestman should have run earlier instead of later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
