All you have to do is look at how big Boldin is and just get him the ball in some space and let him run dudes over. [b]It shouldnt be that hard, get him a rub or a crossing route over the middle[/b].

One of my favorite Boldin plays ever came on a cross route in the red zone ... he got his face broken on that play lol, but still held on to the ball for a TD. That was the play that had Warner contemplating retirement.

But yeah, Boldin is essentially an undersized TE playing WR. Friggin' monster anywhere on the field; he's our best red zone weapon that we've got (and that includes Heap)

Cam played a VERY conservative game against the Bengals for a reason- there was no reason to beat the crap out of our receivers when we're going to be a wildcard team regardless of a win or liss.

If we're conservative against the Chiefs then we can all tar and feather Cam- but using the Bengals game to judge his OC playcalling skill is ignorant and pointless.

Cam played a conservative game..Why? Because our O-Line was getting dismantled. Sacks, QB hits, pressure, etc. how can any WR be targeted with Flacco laying on his back or getting flushed out of the pocket? Dont pinpoint Cam, it's our protection, our O-line, and downright play of our WHOLE offense...

You can pinpoint Cam for not making the proper adjustments and [i]appearing[/i] to be a one trick pony.
For the elaborate routes he calls, our Oline doesn't allow the time for them to develop and Joe ends up on the ground.
It's not because Joe doesn't get the ball off on time, or holds on too it too long, sometimes maybe, but the routes are too long, and the only other option is to dump it off to Rice.

The Ravens are much like the Chiefs of the 90s, awesome defense and average offense, i remember always wanting our d on the field when the game was on the line,then we went through the early 2000s with top ranked offense and no d,just as frustrating,but theres something to be said for knowing that most teams cant hang with your defense.Would you guys like more balance are do you like having a more dominant d?

We'd like to see more balance but the D is no longer dominating and worst of all, the offense has taken a step back this season.
