Week 7 - Baltimore Ravens at Pittsburgh Steelers

[Cville-Raven]

Ravens can`t run against a bad Steelers rushing D, thanks to Harbs and his buddy Juan.

Juan Castillo is wearing a Gradkowski jersey

[GrimCoconut]

Vonta Leach... another guy that SHOULDNT have been brought back...

Agreed. He's been terrible since he returned. 

[Bravens292]

why did we run a stretch play when we needed 1 freaking yard? Just have a hat on a hat and we get that first down. 

[JoeCool#5]

3rd and 1, Caldwell takes it out the best offensive players hands and puts it in the horrid running games hand. 

[Guest RBates]

Ya'll are killing me with all the negativity.  We just put together a decent drive and the defense got rest.  It's still early.  Keep running the ball and some things will open up. 

[Scotty410bmore]

No center= NO RUNNING GAME.....simple as that

[NaveSenrag]

Are you kidding?

[Gordo52]

Come on. How we let Felix freaking jones just put the team on his back?

[Smothy]

Can't run. Can't tackle. Can't defend the run.

 

But no...we're just fine. We're right where we want to be.

[reediddy]

geez, even special teams?

[SecretAgentMan]

There we go. Get the d some rest. Time to attack Rothtard

[jdynamite]

Special teams you think you wanna play! Stop giving up long returns

[Zeus]

So we tackle at the 30 and he continues to run to the 40

[luvrayrice27]

Must we keep giving them good field position?

[Static]

This team looks pathetic. Were getting embarassed by a 1-4 team.

[ravne05]

another short third down and Caldwell runs it to the outside please just fire the guy he is way to predictable

[Sami84]

the d front doesnt look good. the o front doesnt look good. our secondary has no playmaking ability.

 

if we lose this game, to accept that this team is NoT good enough.

[Grendelwulf21]

Our guys seem like bags of cotton, getting pushed around

[codizzle]

Pig sooie

[JamesRaven]

Don't wanna see any more stretch plays or any run which might take time to develop because we just can't block. Run it downhill if you must but I wanna see 70% passes cos I just don't trust the run

[reediddy]

I despise nothing more than the stretch run game. Pound it up the middle for goodness sake

[Gordo52]

He's played a lot in those situations

Failed 3rd & 1's?

[Guest Im An Ozzie Newsome Guy]

At this point, I'm actually surprised the Ravens haven't considered just letting Joe Flacco QB sneak his way for a first down on these 3rd down-and-1 situations. I mean, it can't be any worse than these runs, can it?

[darklight1216]

why can't the ravens run play action on 3 and 1? Its like they scared to put in Joes hand in that situation. I know they would have been totally fooled if Joe kept the ball and ran up field on that last run play.

Maybe they think that their offensive line should be capable of gaining one single yard.

 

I don't know what would cause them to think that, but I figure it's possible.

[OLD SCHOOL SMASH BALL]

Man the word to describe the 2013 Ravens in all 3 phases this year is SOFT! and sad

[Sami84]

top 12 pick time. oh btw haloti ...get ur lazy ass together

[Guest RBates]

Thank you!!!!

[callahan09]

Indeed, not counting anything that happened in the NFL today (and surely we didn't rise in the rankings yet considering we just had yet another failed 1-to-go run), but we rank 4th worst in the NFL at converting 1-yard-to-go rush attempts.  We succeed, prior to today, 45.5% of the time (down to 41.7% now), while the NFL average is 65.9%.

[ellicottraven]

They have a center? 

A replacement one, not Pouncey.

[503_ravens_fan]

why does our run game suck so much?
