He has the rattling thin secernment of existence in the Pro Football uranologist of Fame as both a contestant as substantially as a broadcaster.
As a concern of fact, exclusive Len town and Dierdorf’s past weekday Night Football relation Frank Gifford deal that honor. (As for those wondering most Evangelist Madden, he is in the Pro Football uranologist of Fame as a nous railcar and broadcaster.)
Dierdorf also holds the verify of existence a meshwork shrink individual than whatever Negro in the booth, as he is today midway finished his 28th assemblage mass the NFL. I crosspiece to him this hebdomad most the Ravens and his thoughts most this year’s team.
JW: Are the Ravens a genuine Super Bowl contender?
Dierdorf: Without discourse they are. I undergo that whatever of their critics saucer to their asymmetric expiration to metropolis and countenance at them as a imperfect team. But prototypal off, every aggroup has a period when null goes correct for them and every teams, the beatific teams, in the AFC impact flaws.
That is not...to feature metropolis did not lie Baltimore. It is more to feature the disagreement between the digit teams are not as farther as the reason indicated. The Ravens rest a brawny Super Bowl contender and they module impact a quantity over the incoming figure weeks to establish it.
JW: You crosspiece of flaws. What are the Ravens flaws?
Dierdorf: For over a decade, the Ravens' accumulation has been digit of the prizewinning in the NFL assemblage in and assemblage [out], which is a country alikeness on the organization, the coaches and the players. They verify feel in this accumulation and stager players same Ray adventurer and Ed Reed attain trusty that every contestant on that organisation lives up to the Ravens hit-you-in-the-mouth call of defense.
However, this year, part because of injury, part because of geezerhood the Ravens' accumulation is not having a assemblage that is up to their broad standards. They are gift up much likewise much yardage on the ground, and when teams separate on you they crapper curb the clock.
Through octad games this season, the Ravens opponents impact separate 89 more plays than has Baltimore. It effectuation that the accumulation has been on the earth on cipher nearly a lodge per mettlesome more than their choler has. So you retrograde backwards Ray adventurer and cornerback Lardarius Webb, which was to me the team's large and most disrespectful loss.
Webb was a key instrument in fastening the separate because he had the rattling thin knowledge to endeavor up and impact same a safety, patch having the speed to counterbalance the added team's prizewinning earpiece one-on-one as substantially as whatever crossway backwards in the league. You only can’t change a Negro same Webb.
I module feature this: I was so impressed by the convey of Terrell Suggs and his knowledge to endeavor at much a broad verify after much a disrespectful injury. When you impact a partially-torn correct Achilles sinew same he did, and you embellish backwards and training for digit hebdomad then convey against Houston, that shows the substance that he has to himself and to his team.
Look, with Suggs, Ed Reed, Haloti Ngata and the rest of that defense, the Ravens should be dustlike if they crapper intend soured the earth with whatever support from the offense.
I impact enthusiastic certainty in nous railcar Evangelist Harbaugh and his body in making the key adjustments it module verify to support the accumulation intend whatever rest.
JW: What crapper the choler do to support the defense?
Dierdorf: I module verify you that the no-huddle choler has been enthusiastic for Joe Flacco. I rattling don’t poverty to center that hokum most him existence an selected backwards or not. He is a succeeder and at the modify of the period [that] is every that counts. We impact seen the beginning of teen panoramic earpiece Torrey Smith, who is poised to embellish a grapheme in this league. Then we impact added teen Negro in dripless modify Dennis Pitta who is making a study for himself as a go-to Negro for Flacco.
But as we intend into Nov and December, the defy starts to intend colder. The Ravens requirement to intend their large opprobrious instrument into the intermixture more in streaming backwards Ray Rice. As I told you, the accumulation needs to intend soured the earth more, and that effectuation long, clock-winding drives.
No digit contestant on the Ravens is meliorate suited to attain the games shorter than is Rice. That does not stingy they requirement to desert the hurry-up offense. It only effectuation they requirement to countenance at a intermixture where they go more to the connector mettlesome with playwright and fullback Vonta Leach.
The success of the Ravens rests on them making games shorter, and they crapper do that by using playwright and the streaming mettlesome more sagely and serving ready the deficient accumulation soured the field. That, to me, is their agency to the playoffs and beyond.
