Way to much respect for the Ravens. 1 Cody is a steaming pile. Two weeks ago on the pregame I heard that that was an Ozzie pick and the rest of the scouting dept didn't like him. The best he has been was his rookie yr when he was a tub of goo. He lost weight last yr and started getting pushed around. He still is. 2 The Run D has been wearing out for about 3 yrs. This yr it has broken. I expect 250 yds for the Texans on the ground. They will have to sell out to stop the run and Schaub will go over the top. 3 The Ravens aren't on the field enough to keep the D somewhat fresh. Also they don't get enough offensive touches. Prediction Hou win 26-14

More than help the run D his being out can help the pass D. Really all he brings to the D now is his knowledge and instincts. The skills have eroded that far.
I am sure they were more than pissed at their effort last yr in the PO's. They could have easily won last yr had they run the ball at the end instead of going to Johnson way to much.
They need help but there is nodbody out there to really fix things now. This is something that needs to be delt with before the season. Also you hold onto older players that are expensive and you have to let rank and file guys go.
