Well I'd been taking some time off from posting because of exams but since those are over and the Ravens won by 45! points last night I have the urge to write a little something. Granted they were playing the Packers, who are one of the league's worst teams, but the team really showed a strong effort last night and let the fans know they weren't going to throw the season away after 14 weeks. The key to last night's win, the play of the O-line. For the first time all year there was outstanding protection and blocking for a whole game. The RBs had lanes to run through and Kyle Boller was able to feel comfortable in the pocket and deliver some beautiful passes to the receivers. He used Todd Heap in a great way, which is something that should become the cornerstone of the passing game, similar to what Drew Brees and Antonio Gates have established in San Diego. Heap cannot be covered by any more than a handful of guys in the NFL; he's too fast for the LBs and too strong and powerful for the safeties. Mark Clayton seems to be progressing very well and it's nice to see us use him in some inventive ways (lining him up behind center) to take advantage of his speed and quickness. Derrick Mason is just a great route runner and found gaps in the Packer zone beautifully last night. Clearly some of Mason's knowledge of the game is rubbing off on Clayton. Jamal finally seemed to be able to get a little steam going as he hit the hole. He made some solid cuts and broke a couple nice longer runs. As for the D that was just a typical Ravens game; they gave up nothing down the field and provided a relentless attack on the backfield. The sack numbers weren't necessarily there but Favre constantly had guys in his face, forcing two interceptions. In my opinion now we've seen how explosive this offense can be and it just needs to be groomed to perform on that level on a consistent basis; no huge changes should take place before next season and with some offseason work together maybe, just maybe the Ravens will move up into the top half of the offenses in the league.
