the ravens you saw Sunday ARE the same ravens you saw last year. billick has ended 'the experiment'. 'the experiment'? yup.....after going through the whole season last year, with such a great defense and no offense, billick went out to get his missing ingredient........ a qb.
he thought, that by bringing in grbage, and with jamal, he could produce a 'rams' like offense to go along with his deadly "D". after losing jamal in preseason, for the year, and had already gotten rid of priest Holmes, he was left with nobody to run the ball and had to make some adjustments. adjustments that just didn't work out because grbage isn't the QB he thought he was and he had no running game to set up the passing game.
so, he tried, all season long, to run an offense that was pass oriented. it didn't work, and billick being the hard head he is, stuck with his new plan. he had grbage throwing the ball 40-50-60 times a game, and with no running attack, the opposition ONLY had to play pass protection and and pressure the QB. the ravens were falling apart.
on MNF, the final game of the season that they HAD to win, billick went back to 'dilfer' ball. run first, pass last. it doesn't matter if they go three and out, just punt the ball and let the "D" get it back for us. let the "D" force mistakes. let the "D" win the damn game and forget about the fancy offense and 'the experiment' with grbage.
guess what? they beat the vikes, but it was ugly. nothing flashy how the ravens win. they did it all last year (they were called "lucky"), all through the playoffs (on the road. teams they said we couldn't beat), all the way to the big ole ring they all now wear. and, that's what they're back to doing now. instead of jamal, they have 3 average backs that they rotate in and out (keeping fresh) and a 'little' better QB that is more accurate passing the ball when he has time. he WILL have time now that they have decide to run, run, run, because they will force the opposition to play the run. when they least expect it, they go downfield, with time, and with a better arm than last year.
if you think the ravens won last week because they played a poor dolphins team, you may be partly right, but the team going into Pittsburgh this coming Sunday isn't the same team you saw play pitt the first two games this year. we have a battle coming up this week and you're going to see cordell walking off the field shaking his head just like you saw the opposing QB's do in last year's playoff and superbowl games.
the ravens are back. THE REAL RAVENS, and they ain't gonna stop until they have repeated.
maybe a homer talking? maybe not
