Jason Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 I have 2 concerns about tonight. If they handle these things well I think they win. 1. Defending Torey Smith. We don't have a CB that can run with him. If Dunlap can't play can we get enough pressure on Flacco to offset that. If we don't pressure him regularly Torey could have a big game. 2. Blocking from the interior O-line. Ngata is an absolute beast. If he spends the game in our backfield can we run the ball enough to keep the Ravens defense honest? The rest of the game I feel pretty comfortable with. Those 2 things have me really concerned. Win those two battles and we win the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll need him back soon, Allen too. We still got this though. Who-dey baby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coup000 Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Really interesting that the Ravens decided to shuffle the OL so much right before the first game. Maybe that lessens the loss of Dunlap a bit? A big game from MJ would be huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengals1181 Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 is it me, or is NFL Primetime spending a lot more time on the Sunday games than usual, especially considering there's two games tonight?[quote name='coup000' timestamp='1347316170' post='1155911'] Really interesting that the Ravens decided to shuffle the OL so much right before the first game.

coup000 Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Obviously the Ravens don't agree with me but I think it weakens the whole line. Oher has never been able to put it together at LT and the RT is a rookie who up until recently was slated to play guard. Not that our situation is much better....

[/quote] I guess where I'm coming from is I'd rather MJ face an overweight McKinnie than Oher. But it helps Geathers/Anderson to face a rookie and not Oher.
