Of course we'll make Flacco look like a superstar and your defense will probably blitz 75% of the time. The biggest issue will be handling the Ravens physicality at the line of scrimmage. Our other big problem is handling teams with a great vertical passing game.

Keep in mind Flacco was injured in two of the four play off games he has been in. Flacco hass been looking much better through the season after hid meltdown in game 4 (Cinci). And yes, Mattison does not blitz as much as Ryan, and they are not nearly as exotic or well disguised. If Mattison does not wear them out the starting Dline is tough to move. But, Mattison may decide to activate as additional secondary body and drop seven in the box. This will assuredly wear out the big men if it happens that way.

No doubt this will be a tough game for us. Not only will we be fighting on the field, we will have to fight off the inevitable stupid play calling and generally stupid decisions by Cam and MAttison.
