Defensively, the Crows have given up 582yds.(194yds/game.) through the air to their last 3 opponents(Pitt,Dallas,Jax). During that same stretch, the aforementioned teams were able to gain 310yds.(103yds/game) on the ground. Only one team(Jax) gained at least 100yds on the ground. Our rushing attack is going to have its' work cut out for it to gain 100+ on the ground, but we will do it!

On offense, over the last 3 games, the Crows have put up 69pts. The Crows lost to the Steelers, but beat the Cowboys and the Jags. Over the 3 games, LeRon McClain has been their most prolific runner gaining 296yds, 99yds/game. Against the 'Boys, McClain(139) and McGahee(108) combined for 247yds. Joe Flacco has thrown 2 ints. over the last 3. Those two were against the Steelers, the first game in that 3 game stretch. Flacco was not good against Pitt, he was an efficient passer against the 'Boys, and looked like a World Beater against the Jags throwing for almost 300yds, but no TDs.

We lead the league in TO margin at +17, the Crows are at +13.

I really think that we are going to be able to run on the Crows. We are not going to be going up and down the field at will, but we are going to get the yards we need. We have to get more pressure on the QB(Flacco), but with the vanilla defense we play I don't know if we will be able. If we don't come up with more stunts and attacking different gaps, it is going to be a long game. Let's hope it is not frustrating. Go Phins!:D
 
Injuries:

Baltimore Ravens

Wide receiver Derrick Mason, who has been playing with a dislocated left should and a sore trapezius muscle, missed Friday's practice and is questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins. Though his status is a little shaky, Mason has continued to battle the pain that is involved with the injury and has stayed on the field. He hopes to play Sunday. The Ravens have 11 other players who are listed as questionable, but there is a good chance all of them will play. They are defensive tackle Justin Bannan (foot), wide receiver Mark Clayton (knee), linebacker Jarret Johnson (calf), safety Ed Reed (thigh), cornerback Samari Rolle (ankle and foot), cornerback Fabian Washington (toe), linebacker Antwan Barnes (shoulder), running back Ray Rice (calf), guard Chris Chester (back) and kicker Matt Stover (ankle). The Ravens added tight end Todd Heap to the injury report Friday because of a bad back, but he is expected to play. He's listed as questionable. Safety Tom Zbikowski (thigh) is probable.

Miami Dolphins

The Dolphins should be at full strength for Sunday's game against the Ravens. Tight end David Martin (head and neck) and defensive lineman Randy Starks (ankle) missed Wednesday's practice, but returned for Thursday and Friday. They are expected to be fine for the game even though they were limited in Friday's practice and are listed as questionable.
