Boyd/Uzomah/Mixon vs Patrick Queen/Malik Harrison will be a huge matchup. The Ravens like to bring their safeties on blitzes and the poor play of their linebackers should open up the seams for big plays.... add in that the Bengals have very few seam routes on tape could mean a big day.

Very good point. Queen has been bad in coverage. He's actually been losing a lot of snaps to our old friend Josh Bynes.

I watched the opening week Raiders game and Villanueva was getting abused. Ravens had moved him from left tackle to right tackle and he was getting beaten badly. He was still a TE when he was with the Bengals

Agree and not sure they can cover the Bengals anyway. The water tastes funny when you're far from your home, yet it's only the thirsty that hunger to roam. Roam the Jungle !

I think if Mixon has a good game, the Bengals win plain and simple. If he's getting yards and making the defense account for him, that will keep the blitz from being deployed most of the time. He's kind of an afterthought behind Burrow and the wrs, but he's the key as he is most of the time. This offense is damn near impossible to stop when he's running effectively.

They'll have another back to account for, one with very little tape to study in Evans.. I hope they can get him going in the game along with Joe..

Both Queen and Villanuevo have Questionable designations for the game, so it will be interesting to see if they can be effective.
Regardless, the key matchup to me is Logan Wilson and Germain Pratt against Lamar Jackson and Mark Andrews. Shut out Andrews and keep Lamar behind the LOS and it will be a long day for Ravens fans...

Assuming they remember that he exists instead of forcing the ball to Sample. Last 2 Games Uzomah: 5 targets (5 catches for 31 yards/1 TD) Sample: 5 targets (2 catches for 9 yards) Bengals seem absolutely hellbent on using Sample since the Uzomah career game for whatever reason. Zac's pride over making the pick? ____________________________________________________________

I'm sorry, but any time you take one of Chase/Higgins/Boyd off the field to put Sample on it, and then throw the ball to Sample, you're just hamstringing yourself. Wanting to run it or not. Why put so much investment into having 3 good WRs just to start using only 2? Seems like overthinking it. Just put your best 11 out there. ____________________________________________________________

I'd guess that he has been at least the third option on ever target he has gotten. It also makes sense that Uzo is getting fewer targets since his great gme because defenses are paying more attention to him.

Wanting to run it or not. They are still running 3 and 4 WR sets around 70% of the snaps. 12 personnel is just another grouping they can use and more for a defense to worry about.

Yeah I wondered if they targeted him because after the Jax game they saw how valuable a TE could be in the passing game. I think Sample is valuable in the blocking game and after last year I thought he was okay in the pass game. But after these last 2 games don't even bother targeting him especially if we're not getting Boyd targets.

I doubt teams are paying that much attention to Uzo. He wasn't getting many targets before the Jax game either and the ones he was getting were in the flat.

Our ends and linebackers vs. Jackson. Need to be ripping at the ball, if Lamar has a major weakness, hanging on to the ball is it. We could get some turnovers if they punch at the ball.

I saw an NFL communication that my spies intercepted before the game: "Due to the extremely favorable matchup of Hendrickson over Villenueva, the officials are instructed to only call one holding penalty on Villenueva during the game, and it must be in the first quarter. After that, there will be no flags for holding. We need the Ravens to have a chance" |
