Strong safety disputed helmet-to-helmet penalty on Chargers wide receiver Danario Alexander, and Ravens coach sided with PollardBernard Pollard paced the Ravens in tackles with eight, but the strong safety also drew some attention for an almost-costly penalty that he drew in the fourth quarter of the team’s 16-13 overtime win against the San Diego Chargers Sunday.

Ravens coach doesn't seem to have any regrets about botched fourth-down call nor using rookie running back Bernard Pierce in that situationRay Rice’s amazing 29-yard catch-and-run on fourth down-and-29 and the Ravens’ eventual 16-13 overtime win against the San Diego Chargers Sunday overshadowed a few miscues such as the offense’s ineptness in the first half, the unit’s inability to create a consistent pocket for quarterback Joe Flacco and some inopportune penalties.

It will be interesting to see this week if the Ravens make any changes along the offensive line, a group that for the most part has struggled the past couple of weeks and will be under fire again come Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The position to watch, mainly because it’s been unsettled all season, would be left guard. The Ravens have now given three different players a trial run with Ramon Harewood getting five starts, Bobbie Williams getting four and Jah Reid starting the past two games. While coaches have praised Reid, I’m not sure that he’s stood out in a positive way any more than Harewood and Williams did. Like the other two, there has been some good and some bad. Reid was a third-round pick last year so the Ravens probably have the most invested in him, but head coach John Harbaugh has been clear all season that he’s going to play his five best guys. It will be interesting to see if the coaches deem Reid one of those five for a third straight week. The Ravens could insert Harewood or Williams back in or they could plug in Bryant McKinnie at left tackle, move Michael Oher t o right tackle and then shift Kelechi Osemele to left guard. That would be a pretty drastic transformation for a 9-2 team, especially when there have been no indications that McKinnie is forcing their hands with his play in practice. View the full article

Last week, the Ravens, who studied sleeping patterns in the offseason, altered their practice schedule and their routine before Sunday’s game. Despite those tweaks, Rice said Sunday that adjusting to West Coast time still “is the toughest thing for me to do as a professional.” He wasn't sure how much of a factor it was in the offense’s slow start, though.
