Ravens game plan
 

Stop LJ & Gonzo on defense. Offense, McNair will spike the ball on 1 & 2 down. Special teams, kick the ball to Hall

The Ravens will probably try to run on 1st and 2nd down, and get in third and long all the time. They'll complete quite a few third and longs, but not enough to score at will.

Cleveland showed the rest of the league how to beat the Chiefs. Forget about the running game and, and just throw the ball almost every down. Most coaches are too hard-headed to try to do that. They think they have to establish the run, or some such nonsense. The Chiefs simply cannot stop the passing game.

Bullshit. We can stop the pass, WHEN we have a pass rush. On Sunday, Gun and the pass rush pussed out.

It's that simple.

Hell, you give ANY NFL QB the time the Browns QBs had on Sunday, they will have some success.

the passing game is definitely our biggest weakness imo


well maybe just stupidity is the real weakness ... but it manifests itself more in the passing game than anywhere else.


when facing the chiefs you should really use the pass to set up the run.


Phase one - throw the short stuff ..... because we don't believe in actually covering the RB/TE. We just stand next to them until they catch it .... then make the tackle.

that will tired out our defense line and make gunther give up on the blitz because it doesn't have time to get there.


Phase two - add some draws,bootlegs,swing pass to the mix. Adds to the confusion and frustration on our defensive line. They have to hesitate on the pass rush to see about the draws etc.


Phase three - open up the offense completely.... by then we are so confused and tentative that you can do just about anything you want.


Phase four - sit back and laugh as gunther turns all redfaced in the booth, while spitting tobacco relentlessly into his dixie cup.

That's a little circular reasoning there. Obviously, if we had a good pass rush we could stop the pass. Problem is, we don't. If we can't get a pass rush going against the weakest o-line in the NFL....

Despite my extremely limited PC skills, i was able to hack the ravens system and what i found was SHOCKINGLY simple...

Ray-Rays posse are going to ambush & shank Trent, LJ, TG & Jared on Saturday night.

It will put Michael Corleones fell swoop tactics to consolidate power to SHAME.

I hate classless fans. But if a fan wants to smack Ray-Ray in the head with a battery. When he pulls up a handful of Arrowhead turf & does his spasmic dance. I could happily look the other way

Dante is going to break one this week. He is WAY overdue.

Which leg is he going to break? I hope it is his right.

Agree....

Get the record so he go back to just returning it like everyone else....

He must have bonus money on that record.

Agreed. Somewhere along the line his penis has rescinded into his body.

Dante's penis has not rescinded into his body.

He's just depressed after listening to Sgt. Pepper's.

I agree we need more pass rush, Mr.Kotter you are right almost any QB in the league could of picked us apart with all the time the Browns QB's had to throw. Look at the 33 yard walk by Anderson he had all day to throw before he took off and ran through another crappy tackle attempt by Greg Wesley. Ty Laws missed tackle on Jason Wright was horrible Wright got all the way to the 1 or 2 yard line I believe. Cleveland Stadium went nuts after that 33yd run by Anderson I was so disappointed all game by our defense.

I think Whitlock is right; it's not that we can't bring a pass rush....I just think they chose to be very "vanilla" with their approach on Sunday--not wanting to show too much to the Ravens and/or Chargers.

I think they were arrogant enough to think they didn' "need" to bring a pass rush....:banghead:

I mean, sure the front four "tried" to get to the Cleveland QBs--as Herm said in the post-game....

But when they can't get to the QB, they need to mix it up with more stunts and blitzes. They sat on those Sunday. SAT on them.

FTR, I'm not saying we are one of the better pass rushing teams in the league, but if we need to.....we CAN get at the QB. On Sunday we chose not to get after the QB. That's just inexcusable in my mind.

If you doubt me, watch them the rest of the season. Seriously.

we are supposed to lose this one...we will win...whats up wit dat?
