Around SBN: The McFallout from the McCargo Trade Bar-right-arrows



2008 Schedule Week 7: Ravens at Miami 1pm

The Ravens look pretty impressive on paper if healthy, particularly their safeties and D-Line. The Ravens D-Line will make it hard to run the ball, but the Raven cornerbacks are not known for their tackling. I would recommend a lot of short passes to the backs out of the backfield and running to the edges of the Ravens D. Their greatest weakness is at QB and they have some question marks on the O-Line. That means that the Phins can stop their running game, Rice and McGahee notwithstanding. If so, then they can put the game in the hands of a shaky QB and shaky receivers in a hostile environment. They will travel to Miami after a road game at Indianapolis, so they will have less time to prepare regardless of who is at QB. This is to Miami’s advantage especially if Pasqualoni adds some wrinkles to the D. The Ravens will be looking for revenge for last year so do not underestimate the motivation factor.  However, with Cam Cameron as offensive coordinator, there will be plenty of motivation for the Miami Defense to take out a years worth of frustration on the Raven offense. I say advantage to the Dolphins. Roster included below. Who do you think wins?

Interesting how the schedule came out..

and we play the Ravens again….....at home no less.

On paper, sitting here in July, it looks like a winnable game. The Ravens are in better shape than us defensively, but they have just as many questions about their QB situation as we do – maybe more!

Now this is gnna be low scoring

I say in this one there defensive is way to good to throw the ball on,So what we have to do is run the ball right at ray lewis and make him get tired.Try not to trow the ball only if we have to cuz thet got one of the best defensive back fields in the nfl…..And on defence lets blitz all day,They got a young qb and all there gonna be doen is nrunning the ball so lets have jt and jp on the blitz the hole game,Thell have plinty of sacks in this game…........

our defense all year will rely on keeping pressure on the qb's rather than on our secondary

blitz the shit out of everyone…we just need a better def coordinator that likes to blitz…whats that dude on the eagles? johnson something
