having james harrison far from 100% healthy really favors ravens here along with michael oher moving over to his comfortable spot at right tackle to battle with woodley. the steelers have not gotten any pressure on flacco up the middle on the interior raven O line in the last 2 years when it comes to sacks,hits, and pressures. matt birk has been practicing and will be ready and bryant mckinnie has been losing weight since joining this team and will be ready to hold off an out of shape, hurt harrison. ravens now have the vertical receivers to expose the weak pitt corners, who are banged up as well.
the ravens new D coordinator pagano will be blitzing a lot more than the former D coordinator mattison and he will look to exploit the VERY weak pass protection of the steeler o line. shall i mention how good the ravens special teams are? i still cant believe people are betting steelers in this game.
So Bryant McKinnie who was around 400 pounds a couple of weeks ago will be in better shape than one of most well conditioned players in the NFL just because he's going to start the season at around 360? That's a bit of a stretch. The Ravens have one of the 10 worst offensive lines in the NFL right now. Their defense better come to play because Flacco will be running for his life all day long. Good luck with the play.
mckinnie's normal playing weight is 350 and he showed up at camp 386. he was down to 370 last week and will be around 10 lbs overweight by week 1,,,big fuckin deal.
the ravens have one of the 10 worst O lines in the nfl based on PREASEASON games. without yanda, birk, and oher playing at left tackle instead of right tackle. what do you think happens when they have everyone back week 1?
