Does anyone have that strong feeling that the Ravens are going to roll over Bengals on Monday night?
I don't! Granted the Ravens haven't shown us much in the run game, but what we saw did not inspire confidence. The air it out offense hit on one in 4 games, and not much more. To be honest, ever since that 93 yard drive in week one, we haven't seen much of anything to make us think we are an elite team.
The defense will be fine, there is no doubt in my mind, but to make it deep into the playoffs we have to show we can run the ball at 4 + yards a clip, spread out defenses and execute the delay, the draw, the zone block, and the screen plays. All preseason indications were that the Ravens were set to do that, I just haven't seen it.
They could be holding back, which most likely they are, but I am a little scared.
DID YOU SEE THE NO-HUDDLE LAST NIGHT?
I got goose bumps watching that. That is definately something I would like to see more of.
CHRIS REDMAN LOOKED GREAT!
What poise he showed getting knocked around, recovering and completing passes. How many bad snaps did he handle and turn the play into a gain? Kyle Boller must have wanted to hide somewhere watching that.
CAN WE AFFORD TO KEEP THE EXTRA KICKER?
Don't know, but Billick keeps trying to play it down how well Lloyd is performing, so you know something is up.
DID YOU SEE MOORE GET KNOCKED DOWN ON A ROUTE BUMP?
That was pathetic, forearm shivered to the ground. Nice catch the next play though. I don't know who the team should keep as the 4th WR, but wouldn't be surprised if they pick someone up who has been cut.
