cravnravn Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 BALTIMORE -- The scariest part about the Baltimore Ravens' defense is that it doesn't fear anything. The Ravens aren't afraid of blitzing on every play. They're not afraid of sending a safety or a nickelback after the quarterback. They're not afraid of leaving a cornerback one-on-one with a receiver.After a couple of years of playing it safe, the Baltimore defense showed a national television audience and its former boss that the Ravens haven't just dusted off their old, aggressive game plan. They've expanded it. Three defensive touchdowns in the Ravens' 34-17 victory over the New York Jets at M&T Bank Stadium came as the result of relentless pressure. Past Baltimore defenses prided themselves on leading the NFL in fewest yards given up or setting the record for fewest points allowed.This Baltimore defense wants turnovers, and wants to turn them into touchdowns. The Ravens' defense outscored the Jets' offense 21-3. Actually, Baltimore's defense outscored its own offense. So, how great can this defense become? http://espn.go.com/blog/afcnorth
yagersports Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 2nd or 3rd best Ravens defense ever. My gut feeling without looking at statistics. This defense is takin it to em this year!
cravnravn Posted October 3, 2011 Author Posted October 3, 2011 Love the Quote from JJ on Rex Ryan The performance was more special because it was against Ryan, the Ravens' defensive coordinator from 2005 to 2008. "He created us," Johnson said. "Now he had to deal with us."
RavensDomination Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 Amazing what happens when you get a DC in there with some balls. Mattison just didn't understand this defense. They thrive off hitting the QB, even if they get beat deep. Mattison tried to turn them into some technical react to what the offense does type defense. That's not our style, never has been. Pagano just gets it.
BMoreHon Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 but....I also feel like we are a lot more disciplined! Something that was lacking with Rex...
