DOnt be surprised if OZ picks up another receiver next week. Tight ends work if you have WR's that are threats. Givens has speed and could help a lot. Maybe Hakim Nicks would be a look see..

There are weapons on this team...Trestman has got to work the game plan accordingly. If players dont make plays then sit them down! Next man up...Waller needs some more game time, Joe did not get him the ball well both passes. Marlon and Aiken have both dropped more than one, this is not acceptable. Camp needs to get the ball more, Juice needs to get the ball more, Both ROokies need to get the ball more, this will open up the running game. Lets go Ravens!

dont expect much different in this game. Scoring is probabaly going to be back and forth. The keys are score touchdowns not field goals, hold them to field goals. Control the clock, dont let them get us off the field quick. Play hard play tough and win the turover ratio!

Hold on to the ball!! Pitsberg is the most agressive team when trying to knock the ball out of your hands!! everyone..hold on to the ball, rookies beware they tackle hard and rough, they go after the ball.

Anyone see 38 year old Manning rollout and deliver a TD pass knowing that LB never got touched on the opposite side. He saw, watched his line move right, rolled right and put the ball on the mark. heck Flacco could run for the first down every 3rd and 3 if they would just use some darn play calling. Roll out !!! Give Joe some movement and options

Waller and Camp....all 3 Tight Ends. lets get this thing rolling!

Bottom line...most everyone would have said being 2-2 at 4 games was probably expectable. Now some may have said that the 2 losses were Denver and Pitt others may have said Dnever and Cinc. so the way I look at this is all the Ravens need to do is WIN thursday then make up one of the "expected losses during the season. 11-5 or 10-6 is still very doable of this team can manage to stop beating themselves!

and please tell FLacco to bury the darn ball in their GUT!, quit the darn floaters and finger flies

and please get our backs to drop the darn stutter step!

When you are not running the ball well then the pass needs to set up the run. The second half proved what the Ravens should be doing.. TE options...half/full back options, roll outs, corner routes, stop hooks and quick crossing routes. This will move the LB's back and get the DE's moving sideways. WE have the TE's, quick WR inside and a great full back....once they establish then the run will be more successful.

This offense has so many plays that I think it is confused. Its time to counter the pursuit of our weaknesses. Right now Defenses are working on our tackles and center, Zuttah is getting zoomed in on once our guards are occupied and Our Tackles are getting beat on the outside. Simple plan would be to use the short TE dump over the middle like we did with pitta and Daniels. This play will keep the LB back, it opens up the off tackle run and it can be run out of both under center and shotgun. WE have the TE's they are big and sure handed. Flacco needs to bury it in thier gut. Once we get the DE to play off of there back feet...we will have the advantage. Opens up the WR and the RB!

It looks like teams are pushing inside making Zuttah vulnerable. Once the guards have to pick up the inside then the Tackles are giving up the edge. quick dump passes over the middle to the TE like Flacco did with Daniels and Pitta early will help to delay the LB from crushing the middle. Also it will help open the off tackle Run. Lets get back to some bread and butter. This is a chess game, its time to counter teams that are working our weaknesses. Both these plays can be run out of under center or shotgun, roll outs and delay's will open up as well.

Will Davis could easily be a corner Blitz, also Arrington should be used on Safety Blitz. Both are good strong tacklers. 3-3-5 bump the receiver on the line and shoot the gap! Use the OLB to cover the TE. Lets go Pees...its time to use some innovation! Get up on the line and force the QB to hold the ball longer. Blitz packages and plug the holes with the big bodies. Do not over pursue..plug the line and force Dalton outside!

If ever there was a time for every player to truly "play like a Raven", now is it! We need the fire...the determination...the second by second, minute by minute fury.... the dominance... that is the RAVENS ! Every player on the team needs to have it and show it! It is TIME!

Its time... for all to "play like Ravens"! no player is exempt...in the past 2 games i dont think there was a player out there who didn't cost the team by mistakes. This is not acceptable. Big time players make big time plays..to win big time games. Its time.....

Flacco throwing off of his back foot is NOT the answer. Looked really bad. Tackles not holding up 2 games in a row. Floating the ball to the receivers is not helping them catch it! burn it in there Joe- if the drop it that is their own fault. Interceptions are NOT acceptable, plain and simple turnovers lose games. We need to see more trust in the running game, however the tackles look like they are lost. All said and done the Ravens beat themselves in both games. should be 2 wins..instead. Time for the leaders and high paid players to step up! That goes for Joe too.

We need 2 tackles!

hmmmm...I count six.

look at the Dallas play to win the game....Big time play wins the game. Same play. Witten makes the play and scores.

Sr is a class act...he is right he brings that catch in and the Ravens win. Crokett same thing. Big time players make big time plays. Ravens had chances, tough game for both teams. It comes down to making the BIG play. This is critical, sure we can analyze and pick all the plas down...but in the end a big play wins that game. No if, and, or buts.

Honestly, Sr and Crokett are correct. They should have come down with the ball! big time players make big time plays! either one of them come down with that ball and the stats are in the Ravens favor. its not always easy to say one play makes the difference but in that game, one play wins that game!

Our tackles need to step up! Hurst got beat all day and he did have to step in, but Wagner was not much better. We need to look for some tackle help....those guys had trouble big time

Our problem isnt LB, its offensive tackle!!

I liked the play last night that New England Ran with 2 wide outs strong right, then Gronk and Chandler left side sliding Chandler underneath the GRonk for a TD. This is a great set for the Ravens against Denver!

Get out there and force a few mistakes and Payton can throw INT's. he has 5 in one game, so he aint perfect. The key here is to control the clock on offense, score on possessions, close the gaps on Defense, dont let Payton pick his first option and release Suggs and Doom up the middle to force the play outside!! Go Ravens!
