cravnravn Posted November 22, 2013 Posted November 22, 2013 The Ravens went with a ground-and-pound approach on a windy day and a muddy field, and the offense finished with a season-best 174 rushing yards. The improved performance was a big step forward in a year where running the ball has been a challenge, and the Ravens now hope to build off that effort against the New York Jets. But that won’t be an easy task against the NFL’s top-ranked run defense, and Jets Head Coach Rex Ryan even dared the Ravens to try to run the ball on his team. “We’re No. 1 in the league versus the run – that’s no surprise,” Ryan said. “We’re No. 1 in the league in rushing average, too, so come in and run it at us if you want.” New York’s run defense is led by an impressive front seven, headlined by defensive linemen Muhammad Wilkerson, Damon Harrison and Sheldon Richardson. They have dominated offensive lines all season and held opponents to just 73.2 rushing yards per game. http://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/article-1/Rex-Ryan-Dares-Ravens-To-Run-Against-His-Defense/70c04785-d51d-47a0-bba1-d5573c836b73 Quote
ravinmaniac52 Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 We won't have t run the ball, Gino will set us up for all we need. Quote
vmax Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 Nice try, but the Ravens won't take the bait. The Yets 23rd ranked passing D looks sweeter. Funny....He didn't say "I dare you to throw." Quote
oldno82 Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 Given the weather, the defenses, and the lack of offense, I'd say Jets 12 Ravens 9. Quote
