What must the Ravens target on Sunday?

Past matchups between these two teams immediately make the Ravens look like a favorite in this game. Besides Josh Cribbs, there is not a single player on the Cleveland Browns' roster that has flourished against the Ravens.

This year the Ravens offense has not gotten off to the start they wanted but the defense has exceeded everyone's expectations still to have not allowed a touchdown this season.

If the coaches had to target just one of the Browns' weakness to take advantage of it would have to be the inconsistency at the quarterback position. Jake Delhomme is on the injury report this week as his ankle kept him out of practice on Wednesday and Thursday. Seneca Wallace will be the person to take reins if Delhomme is out. Wallace is a talented competitor who can make plays out of the pocket but does not have the starting experience or passing accuracy to be a threat.

I expect the Ravens' defense to force a few turnovers in the form of either interceptions or recovered forced fumbles against a team that has a -1 turnover ratio. The young but deep cornerback group made of Fabian Washington, Tom Zbikowski, Dawan Landry and more are capable of handling the likes of tight end Benjamin Watson and receivers Josh Cribbs and Chansi Stuckey.

Unfortunately I expect the Ravens to turn the ball over once or twice in this game because of how poorly the offense has performed so far this season but their ball insecurity will deprive them of a win. An improved Browns defense makes them more formidable but not unstoppable, a fact to proven this Sunday in Baltimore’s home opener.
