I think its pretty clear to see what the Ravens are going to try to do on Sunday. They are going to run the ball early and often.
There are a few reasons I see this as a sure deal
-There is an 80% chance of rain with heavy winds
-The Bengals haven't done the best job stopping big runs and closing up cutback lanes
-The Ravens have only run the ball on 37.8 of their offensive snaps, and they will be looking to change that, as they are 0-2 so far.
I think they will try to set up good runs and then PA passes to Gilmore and Smith. It will be key to stop the run, (as it usually is) but even moreso this week.
The only way we can lose this is if they slow the game down and keep it close. They are not the kind of offense to blow the top off of us, so we have to have gap discipline and tackle well at the point of attack (something we haven't done so great through the first 2 weeks).
I can't see a gameplan with the Ravens coming out throwing, so we better be ready to stuff the run. Force Flacco into 3rd and long and we should be in good shape.
Maualuga and Rey will be very important players this week.
