Some help for the D

[vmax]

Terrence Cody kept his college streak alive of never allowing a hundred yard rusher Thursday night...and Turner's been damn good.

 

I’m starting to feel more comfortable because I’m getting more snaps,” said Cody. “I’m getting into a groove out there, and it’s going smooth. I’m just playing my game.”

Cody totaled five tackles on the night, but his presence went further than that.

 

Falcons running back Michael Turner went into the game with two consecutive 100-yard rushing performances to his credit. Turner also began the contest leading the NFC with 796 rushing yards.

 

And, Atlanta is known for sticking with the run no matter what, with the 247-pound Turner carrying the load throughout.

At the end of the day, the Falcons did just that, rushing Turner 17 times. He only gained 39 yards and averaged 2.3 yards per carry.

He's one piece of the puzzle for improvement of the Ravens defense.

I don't know how many snaps he was in there, but if he's the reason Turner didn't run then kudos to him. I was very surprised that we were able to hold Turner in check- i thought he'd run all over us.

Once they are comfortable with Cody then he and Ngata will wreak havoc. Ngata will be even more formidable and it should help Suggs too.

It would be very nice to have a rookie step up and perform, it's been awhile.

But I would also say Cody being in there allowed for no passrush in the middle. So it can be a robbing peter to pay paul situation.
