Ravens Game Grade

Last TD drive was started w/ 9 minutes in the 4th.

 

It will be the same concept on defense. 1, Stop Stewart. He’s the same type of back as Lewis is, minus the explosive ability. I’d consider him a less dangerous back than the one we just faced, with a less talented line. 2, Get pressure on the QB. Got to, otherwise they’ll pick our coverage apart. When we gave Redmon time, he was effective.

Offensively, we may need to be more balanced. Detriot weak in their back 7, while their front is effective. Exact opposite of Baltimore. We might find running the ball a bit tougher. I know Williams did, but that’s him. We will have to have some sort of running game to win, but I don’t think we will be as one dimentional, even after a lead.

 

That game was never in doubt. You can be sure Miami let up a bit at the end.

IMO, if we don't turn it over we win next week. Big IF, but possible.

 

Fox's comments...

"As long as you have more than they have at the end of the game, you win, whether it is by 30 or three. In this League, a lot of them are close scores, whether it is a lot of points and close or a few points and close. You pretty much do what you have to do to win, and some weeks it is going to rest a little more on one side than the other because your match-ups are different. Your strength and weaknesses match up different with each opponent. Sometimes, you have to open it up. Sometimes, you have to pull it in tight. But you try to execute what you need to do to win."


I think we are gonna be ok with Fox as coach. Seefart would have never said that. Common sense can take you a long way if you let it.
