[BR News]

The Steelers receiver is one of the most explosive players in the league, and the Ravens could try to neutralize him with their top cornerback.

Cover him like a blanket. Don't need those 60 yard catches.

If we can "contain" him and Bell, think we have a good chance at winning the game.

they have many weapons to contain. if we r to win the offense must show up

He needs to, Jimmy's a top 5 CB when it comes to covering Brown.

Who ever it is Brown will probably have a record day receiving. Smith is a little overrated, especially with the lack of pass rush which the Ravens have.

Smith isn't on any sort of national radar as a great CB, so it is hard to call him overrated. Historically, Brown has not had big games against us and I think Jimmy has been a part of that. We saw what the secondary looked like in the 2nd half of the Giants game. 1st half - Smith in, OBJ 1 catch and a fumble. 2nd half, Smith out, OBJ  2 TDs and 200+ yards. 

Yes, the lack of a pass rush isn't helping. I think we have to put pressure on our secondary to go man cover at times, as we need to put pressure on Ben.

Orr calls the defense, Mosley follows Bell everywhere. Jimmy & Webb cover Antonio Brown like a gunner on a punt return.

Success against Brown starts and ends with keeping Ben running for his life...that's what did it in the past. Give Ben time and Brown will run circles around Jimmy.

If Webb has anything to do with covering brown= :(((

Do they?? I don't think so. Granted Bell and Brown could be the best at their positions, which I guess would be enough to make your statement true. But outside of those 2 right now, they are seriously searching for playmakers. No green after a nice offseason contract, Wheaton has been hurt and a non factor, Coates had one good game and now he's having issues with a cut on his hand when he already has butterfingers. No TE production. BBB are the 3 that produce for them.

Browns career stats vs the Ravens is nothing to write home about. We have been successful against him in the past. No reason to think anything will change going forward.
