Hello Panther Fans - anyone have any opinions on what went wrong with the run defense vs Pittsburgh? Wondering because I'm trying to gauge how Baltimore might fare vs CAR Wk 4 in Bal.
- Is 34/264/7.8/1 really an indication of a problem, or is the PIT run game just that good so it was just a hiccup with some kind of extenuating circumstances?
- Thanks.
Several uncharacteristic plays. On the two long runs Luke got caught on the wrong side of the line behind a double team. No one filled the gap. I wouldn't cut on that happening again too often. This team prides itself on stopping the run. After each of their big losses last year they came out fired up and ready to play. I think you see the same here. Personally I wouldn't bet on the Ravens running game doing much. Also there is going to be pressure on Flacco we haven't called many blitzes, rarely do, but I think you will see them this week. I expect this defense to show up.
Now the offense? Not sure. Running game decimated. Won't let Cam run.
They need to make some big changes and I don't know if they can in one week.
