On the topic of first round byes and players sitting out for three weeks (like many Ravens players will be). Rodney Harrison on FNIA says not playing for that long does get you out of your routine a bit and players/teams can definately experience some rust. If I had to guess I'd say young teams like the Ravens would be more susceptible to this than a veteran team like the Patriots. It'll be interesting to see. Obviously our Chiefs dont have to worry about this. Perhaps its another thing Ravens fan should be worried about.
