Simple trend may decide outcome of Sunday's game between Ravens and Steelers


One of the most intriguing trends I have noticed about Joe Flacco's career is his tendency to struggle against 3-4 defenses. Let's look back at the last five 3-4 defenses the third year quarterback has faced.

The Ravens' first three opponents this season, New York Jets, Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns, in conjunction with last season's New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers all utilize the 3-4 style. If you average Flacco's quarterback ratings for each of the five most recent games he has played against these defenses, it comes to a measly 61.5 quarterback rating.

Running without Rice not impossible

Losing Ray Rice hurts the Ravens but not as much as people think.

Indeed Rice is an undeniable playmaker who is a positive addition to any offense in the NFL however without him the Ravens can still produce with Willis Mcgahee, Leron McClain and Jalen Parmele.

The Ravens' next opponent, the Pittsburgh Steelers, have an amazing run defense only allowing 59.7 rushing yards/game so far this season. Everything man Troy Polomalu has returned to a defense that at times struggled to defend the pass last year. Of course, linebackers James Harrison and Lamarr Woodley have combined for five sacks this season and are equally effective in run defense.

Willis Mcgahee has succeeded against this Pittsburgh defense before, look back at 2007. That year, Mcgahee was the full time starter and ran for 50 yards with only 12 carries in the ninth week. Yes, these numbers sound mediocre but taking account the formidable run defense Pittsburgh has maintained through the years, he looked good.

It is important to note that Mcgahee is relatively fresh only carrying the ball 16 times in the past three games. Rice has not officially been ruled out but it is guaranteed that he will see a lot less action in the Steelers game.

It will be difficult for Flacco to get anything going in the air against the Steelers but a balance of productive running and a variety of short, mid and deep passes will keep the Steelers a little more honest.

This year the Steelers are 3-0 beating the Atlanta Falcons, Tennessee Titans and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, teams who have each have only one loss.

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.
