Steelers-Ravens 2

"The Ravens are excellent at disguising their defense until teams show the play and read motion and tendencies as well as any team. When the Steelers break the huddle and come to the line with three wide receivers and a single tight end, they should proceed to the line as normal but go on an early count, while the Ravens are still playing the waiting game. This does not mean solely on first down and it would, more than likely, be more effective on later downs because it breaks tendencies. When the Steelers run, they have to continue to press the runs between the tackles. The Ravens are too disciplined and sound on the edges to press the runs outside. While Cody is being touted as a run stopper, his impact is sporadic and there are many instances where he can be controlled at the point. Redding has began to flash, but he still remains inconsistent. If Ngata does not play, their run defense suffers. The key to being effective will be hitting them quickly in the middle. It will not be pretty, but it is the softest point and should be the focus of the rushing attack. The key matchup will be Marcus Gilbert on Corey Redding. If Gilbert can handle Redding and Miller can get onto Johnson, then it will allow Foster to block down on Cody and have either Kemoeatu or Pouncey pull into the hole and seal off Ray Lewis, creating a running lane. This is not a play designed to blow open long runs, more of a grinding play to force the Ravens defense to respect the run and keep the pass rushers from selling out on the ends."
