vmax Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 The Ravens options for plugging the hole left by Pita's absence look good. Way better than last year... Juszczyk is an intriguing option because he can help replace Pitta in the receiving and blocking game. Harbaugh brought his name up first when speaking to the media Monday.The swiss-army knife fullback led the Ravens in receptions during the preseason (10 catches, 90 yards), but didn’t catch a pass in the first two regular-season games. Juszczyk hauled in three for 54 yards and a 9-yard touchdown in Cleveland. His 33- and 12-yard catches came after Pitta got hurt.Similar to Pitta, Juszczyk can line up all over the offense – in the backfield, at tight end or out wide. The Ravens had high hopes for Juszczyk’s offensive potential this year but had trouble getting him on the field and targets through the first two weeks. That will likely change now.“The fact that we have Kyle who can swing in there and play three different positions is a big plus for us,” Harbaugh said.The Ravens may also rely on more production from its wide receivers. Since Pitta sometimes lined up out wide, he can be replaced by a wideout in those formations.Wide receiver Marlon Brown, who tied a Ravens rookie franchise record with seven touchdowns last year, has caught just one pass for 15 yards so far in 2014. He has a big body like Pitta, and could be relied on more particularly in the red zone. With Pitta out for 12 games last year, Brown had an expanded role as a rookie.The Ravens may also need more production from No. 3 receiver Jacoby Jones, who has three catches for 20 yards so far,http://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/article-1/Who-Fills-In-For-Dennis-Pitta/3471e696-92a2-4867-87cb-a88de8c830e1 Then there's Daniels and Gilmore.I think the passing game will be fine if this new O line gels.

tsylvester Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Brown has a big body great hands, but not much jitter, struggles to get open without rub routes. Jones, ha, he has more drops than catches this year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cravnravn Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Yea Jones is a disappointment so far, and we could have 6 Jerry Rices out there, if Joe doesn't have the time it's for naught, I'm leaning at Daniels stepping up to fill the void left by Pitta. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vmax Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 What we saw last year from the Ravens offense is what is happening to Aron Rodgers and the Packers.Crappy O line, no running game and Rodgers is a 15th ranked QB on a 28th ranked offense only scoring 18 points a game.
