With our run D exposed, how do we plan to stop Forsett next week?

[Xbrett82us]

The Ravens run offense is currently tearing it up the last few weeks. Seeing as our run D has been beyond atrocious since Denver, how on Earth are we supposed to contain Forsett? With Geno last night it was easy to adjust in the second half as he wasn't going to be making plays with his arm, but Flacco is another story. Manning showed us what a great run game and a good QB behind center can do to us, and I forsee Baltimore following by the exact same gameplan.

It really is all going to hinge on our offense this week. I don't see us completely stopping Forsett, but rather finding success in attempting to limit him and putting faith that our offense can match/beat what the Ravens put up.

Unfortunately I think going forward the blueprint to beat us has been laid out. We've just got to bank that Coyle is capable enough to make the right adjustments.

This is where RJ Stanford starting is really gonna hurt IMO. With us focused on the run, Flacco is probably going to rip him.

I believe we kept Finnegan out for Baltimore.

I believe we kept Finnegan out for Baltimore.

Sure hope so, we need the secondary healthy

I don't know how we won that game last night. 200 yards rushing in the first half?!

Thank you baby Jesus for Geno Smith.

Omar said yesterday that he thinks Finnegan doesn't play vs them either.

We stood toe to toe with Greenbay. Stood toe to toe with Denver, so we're just gonna have to do the same with Balty, except WIN THIS DAMN GAME!!

Need to get tougher in the trenches. They have the ability to play better.

They absolutely need Finnegan or Taylor back. Its clear they dont trust Stanford...which is completely understandable. It took them giving up 200+ yards rushing in a half to bring a safety down in the box against Geno Smith...and Im pretty sure its because Coyle thought even Geno would get lucky enough to find Decker with iso coverage against Stanford.

Until the corners are healthy....fair or unfair the D-line is going to have to shoulder this burden. We cant afford to put 8-9 guys in the box to sell out on the run. Mitchel, Odrick, Starks and the DEs better pack a lunch this week.

Like we did in the 2nd half last night

We stuff 8-9 in the box against Baltimore and Flacco will pick us apart.

They could give up 500 rushing yards and I wouldn't give a **** if we won

We need to go back to a 4-3. I know we dont have linebackers but jordan needs to be stood up at outside linebacker. One thing i noticed coyle likes to do is play our outside linebacker on the line edge blitzing. This was leaving huge holes in the middle.

 

[LANGER72]

The will allow them o grind us up and down the field and then tighten up in the red zone with a few blitzes to force field goals.
We will need to score 35 points to win against Baltimore because we will not stop them.
This defense is barely a speed bump with all the injuries.

Lazor better start throwing the ball downfield. This team must play with a lead to make these teams more one-dimensional.

I am getting sick of the "Tannehill completed 70% of his passes" argument. If you are going to throw a 2-yard pass, then just run the ball.
