    Chat Off!! Friday: Baltimore Beatdown & FootballCentral

    Very good point, but luckily we have 2 games where Pitt and Baltimore played in the season to really figure out how much Bell was a factor...   Week 2 - 11 rushes for 59 yards and 5 receptions for 48 yards/ No touchdowns   Week 9  - 10 rushes for 20 yards and 5 receptions for 38 yards and 1 TD  ...

    Ah I meant "little like" as in - they are not very similar players.

    The same could easily be said about any of the teams with tough defensive lines. The Lions play Chicago and Green Bay twice a year and they aren't on the 15th defensive back. Keep in mind that last week, the Ravens had 5 sacks against Pittsburgh. As I mentioned above, it is amazing that the...

    I believe after week 9, the head office and coaches cut almost everyone in the secondary and started from scratch. Lardarius Webb is finally healthy and has been playing better over the last few weeks and the Ravens found their second corner in Rashaad Melvin (cut from Tampa after week 2, but...

    That list is a bunch of the best defensive lines in football, but if you look at a total unit, you have to give it to Baltimore. Amassing 49 sacks (second only to Detroit's 54) and third in rushing yards per game (88.3 with only Detroit on that list being better), Baltimore is the cream of the...

      1) Brandon Williams has been huge for Baltimore. The defensive line was an area of great depth before the season started, but was one of the most affected areas of the team in terms of injury. While Williams was expected to be a large part of the defense, he has had to go longer stretches...

    1) As I touched on another question, Harbaugh is really a master motivator. He sucks at time management, game management and the Xs and Os portion of football and that has come back to kick him in the ass at times. However, no one is better in the NFL at establishing a fire in players, both...

    1) First off, I think people underrate regular Flacco. His stats aren't the prettiest, so I can understand why he doesn't feel the love; but when you look at his win/loss record and the type of games he has put up in the regular season despite a rather inept receiving corps, it becomes far more...

    No worries, I'd love to be back next week if the Ravens move on too ;)

    That is going to be the big question for any team that New England will play. I think that the Ravens will use a similar tactic from what they did during the match-up against the Saints this season and Jimmy Graham. Obviously different players with totally different styles, but if you can get a...

      Really, this isn't much of an issue. While the Ravens are on their third long snapper of the year, that has been the only hiccup at this time and it looked to be more nerves than anything as he snapped the ball a little high. Given that Harbaugh is a special teams kind of guy, I'm sure the...

    Not a problem at all.    The biggest thing that has stopped the D-Line has either been lack of execution on their part (no real reason why they didn't get penetration other than a lack of effort at times) or it has been because the offense has gotten the ball out quickly by using quick slants...
