Hello fin fans, looking forward to a great game on Sunday.
A few things that the steeler fans have overlooked. First, the steelers' o-line is one of the best run blocking o-lines in the game along with the rams, 9ers, and jets. Thier line physically controlled the game from start to finish. I'm not sure that the fins have the type of o-line to do that to us.
Secondly, Sam Adams didn't play in that game against the steelers. Not having Adams in there is like you guys not having Bowens. He usually takes up 2 o-lineman, and is pretty quick to the ball carriers.
Now, the ravens' run D has dropped in the last 3 weeks against the bengals, bucs, and vikings. This has a lot to do with our increased attention to the pass which burned us during the season.
There now seems to be more emphasis placed on defending the pass. Our SS Corey Harris hasn't been cheating to play the run anymore. We now play 6-7 in the box at the most. So, we are a little bit better against the pass, and a little weaker against the run.
Another key will be how Goose and Adams play. Can your interior handle them? If they do, our run D will suffer.
Basically, the ravens will try to make Fielder beat them in the pocket. If he does it, we are toast. If he doesn't, we may just pull this win out.
