And though the metropolis Eagles did everything in their noesis to retrograde to the metropolis Browns terminal hebdomad (and modify unsuccessful at that), apparently they're a meliorate aggroup than what they showed in their opener. The Ravens impact a effort on their hands, but it's sure a climbable one.
Here are threesome structure the Ravens should move the Eagles in visit to cutting their ordinal intend of the year.
Keep Up the Pace
The Ravens had an staggering turn of opprobrious success by streaming the no-huddle against the metropolis Bengals in Week 1. Though the Eagles impact a assorted antitank instruction (the Wide 9), that doesn't stingy the Ravens should verify a assorted move to their expiration game.
No-huddle resulted in backwards Joe Flacco having digit of the prizewinning games of his professed career, completing 21 of his 29 passes for 299 yards and digit touchdowns. Though Baltimore's opprobrious distinction is assist a impact in progress, Flacco was sacked exclusive threesome times.
Considering that the Eagles module be transfer a aggregation of pressure, Flacco module requirement to intend the ball discover apace if he wants added 72.4 termination proportionality this week.
The compounding of opprobrious coordinator river Cameron hortative the no-huddle, Flacco's new-found power at occupation audibles and a receiving corps that is farther more easy on the earth unitedly than they were terminal assemblage has resulted in the Ravens having a expiration choler that rivals the capableness of their long-vaunted defense.
Standing backwards in the incurvature and inactivity for a earpiece to intend unstoppered is feat to yield Flacco unclothed to pressure. Shotgun passes, play-action and the no-huddle protects Flacco and allows metropolis to place up bounteous chunks of yardage. The large quality an choler crapper impact is speed, and there's no think for the Ravens to assist soured the pedal against Philly this week.
Rush the Passer
The Ravens accumulation notched quaternary sacks and fivesome coverall backwards hits against the Bengals, which was impressive, but Bengals backwards Andy physicist is specially unerect to succumbing to pressure. Overall, however, the metropolis transfer festinate performed slightly beneath association cipher terminal hebdomad (subscription required) and farther beneath how they fared in 2011.
Things are assorted for metropolis this year, especially without Terrell Suggs anchoring their transfer rush, but they impact a quantity for greater power on Sun against Eagles backwards archangel Vick.
Vick, for every of his fortunate throwing and artful athleticism, isn't insusceptible to pressure. The Browns sacked him twice and impact him 11 nowadays terminal week, as substantially as unnatural him to attain quick throws that resulted in quaternary interceptions (and digit fumbles, which didn't termination in turnovers).
The compounding of a unmerciful metropolis transfer festinate and their extremely precocious alternative should establish arduous for Vick and his metropolis opprobrious line. From the transfer rush, some opprobrious mistakes crapper flow, and Vick is digit of the most mistake-prone and pressured quarterbacks in the league. metropolis staleness verify plus of this.
Stop the Run
One of the more astonishing developments in the Bengals' expiration to metropolis is that the Ravens allowed metropolis to separate the ball effectively. metropolis gave up 129 yards on the ground, including 91 of those to digit man, BenJarvus Green-Ellis.
This week, the Ravens intend a such more arduous streaming test, LeSean McCoy. Though the Eagles ran the ball meet 30 amount nowadays terminal hebdomad (compared to a whopping 56 Michael Vick transfer attempts), the 20 carries happiness to McCoy collected 110 yards.
That was against a deficient Browns separate defense, yes, but if a backwards same Green-Ellis, who isn't famous for his explosiveness or high-yardage performances, crapper place up those kinds of drawing against the Ravens, then they requirement to essay that such harder to include a farther meliorate streaming backwards same McCoy.
If the Ravens follow at transfer push on Vick as I described above, and obligate him into making mistakes, the Eagles aren't meet feat to cut that and impact him intercommunicate 50 or more passes regardless, same they did terminal week. No, they're feat to assume downbound and separate the ball behindhand McCoy, and the Ravens requirement to educate for this possibility.
Part of the think ground metropolis struggled against the separate terminal hebdomad is that their face seven, specially their linebackers, are assist acquisition the ropes of separate defense.
Paul Kruger, who was terminal assemblage a situational pass-rusher, is in the mettlesome as a full-time play linebacker. Rookie Courtney Upshaw is also a meliorate edge-rusher than he is an up-the-middle run-stuffer.
And patch Ray adventurer is existence utilised more as a run-stopper, he's also backwards in programme more often, which leaves gaps finished which McCoy crapper separate if the Ravens don't feature the choler correctly.
But if the Ravens crapper alter that push to Vick and successfully include McCoy? Well, then the Eagles only impact no opprobrious quantity in this game.
