Re: Baltimore Ravens (Madden 10)
Kansas City Chiefs @ Baltimore Ravens
Injuries: Baltimore - OT Tony Moll OUT (arm) Kansas City - LB Demorrio Williams OUT (foot)
The Ravens come into their season opener sputtering through the preseason. They don't know who the feature back will be, their wide receiving corps has been lackluster past Mason, and they have a big question mark at right guard. With all of that being said, they are a 13-3 team facing off against a new head coach, with a new system and a new quarterback running it. Matt Cassell comes over form the Patriots to help Todd Haley turn around a once proud Kansas City franchise that has been in turmoil since Dick Vermeil left in 2005. With oft-troubled running back Larry Johnson the first casualty of the Haley era, the load will fall on speedster Jamaal Charles. Unfortunately, Charles' first real test will come against a Ravens defense that only allowed 81.4 yards per game to opposing offenses last year. ILB Tavares Gooden takes over for the always flamboyant Bart Scott, and looks to learn from the heart and soul of Baltimore next to him.
Key Match-Up:
SS Bernard Pollard | TE Todd Heap | | | If the Ravens want to be able to stretch the field, Heap will need to be able to control the middle of the field. Unfortunately, hard hitting Pollard roams free on the Kansas City defense, and is one shot away from putting the lights out on any player. If Flacco can get the ball in Heap's hands, the Raven's offense should follow suit and open up. If not, it could be a closer game than expected. |
