Re: Baltimore Ravens: A New Era
Beats by Dre
The Baltimore Ravens vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers. What a rivalry. They face each other in the playoffs again from M&T Bank Stadium. It was a slow start for the Ravens. They could not get the run game going and had a three and out. The Steelers began a methodical drive on the arm of Ben Roethlisberger. They converted 4 first downs and it was 1st and 10 on the Ravens 22 yard line. However, a false start and a holding moved it back to 1st and 25. Brandan Perry got burned by Mike Wallace and he ran into the end zone for a 37 yard touchdown. The Ravens got their passing attack going and that lead them down the field. Ray Rice would cap off the drive with a touchdown. The Steelers were given the ball at the two minute warning and Big Ben would hook up with his comfort zone receiver, Antonio Brown 2 times. This set up a 4 yard touchdown run by fullback Leonard Weaver. The Ravens weren't done yet. Joe Flacco made a big throw to Jordy Nelson for a 33 yard gain which would put the Ravens in field goal territory. Deep passes to Torrey Smith and Jordy Nelson would fall incomplete and Mason Crosby would boot a 55 yard field goal to cut the Steelers lead to 14-10. The Ravens defense stepped up in the second half. They swarmed the run game and defended well against the pass. Late in the third quarter, the Ravens began to drive. On their own 47 yard line, Joe Flacco sensed a blitz and called an audible. Torrey Smith would run a drag route since Kareem Jackson was playing loose. He hit Torrey Smith for a short pass but he broke a tackle and got to the outside and outspeed the Steelers secondary and would give the Ravens a 17-14 lead. The Steelers could not get a drive going on offense. They had 3 straight three and outs. They got the ball with 2:38 left in the fourth quarter. Big Ben was poised for a big drive. The Steelers began to drive down the field. They were on the Ravens 27. 2nd and 10, Ravens Defensive Coordinator Mike Pettine dialed up the blitz. Big Ben scrambled and threw a woobly pass. The pass was right to Dre Kirkpatrick who picked it off. The pass was so bad it looked like Kirkpatrick was the intended receiver. This was all she wrote for the Steelers. The Ravens would run down the clock and win the game. The Ravens would face the San Diego Chargers in the Divisional Round next week. The Ravens pass rush was silent for most of the game. Dre Kirkpatrick got the only sack on defense. The unsung hero for the Ravens was Ray Rice. Even though the run game stalled, he was a key part in the pass game. 7 catches for 77 yards out of the backfield is not bad at all. What else is not bad is beating your rival in the playoffs. The Ravens will enjoy it for a day but then it's back to work to get ready for the San Diego Chargers.

Re: Baltimore Ravens: A New Era
Out of Charge The Ravens travel to San Diego to face the Chargers. The Chargers got the ball first and drove down the field thanks to a big Trent Richardson run. But then Shakir Grove was pressured and threw a pick to Brandan Perry. Perry outran everyone and took it to the house. After this, the Ravens got all of the momentum. The Ravens forced a three and out and took it down the field as Joe Flacco connected with Owen Daniels for a five yard touchdown pass. After this, the game was very fast. In the middle of the second quarter, San Diego began to drive the ball down the field thanks to Craig Glover’s spectacular one hand catch on third down. But the Ravens pass rush was alive and Shakir Grove struggled mightily. The Chargers were held to a field goal. The Ravens would pound the ball down the field and respond with their own field goal. The Chargers on the next drive went three and out and on third down Grove was sacked by Charles Johnson forcing a punt. On second down Ray Rice was the lone back but was split wide after an audible. Rice who was covered by a linebacker was wide open down the sideline and Flacco connected with him for a 69 yard touchdown pass. The score at halftime was 24-3. In the second half, the Chargers still did not find much success on offense as Shakir Grove was inaccurate at times. The Ravens coverage was superb. On third down and 11, the Chargers dialed up a draw play, Navarro Bowman sniffed it out and stuffed Ryan Matthews. But Bowman stayed on the field. He had suffered torn triceps. Unfortunately, his season was done. The Ravens fought on. The Ravens got the ball on the 20 yard line and went to work. On the first play, Jordin Bledsoe took a stretch play, juked the cornerback and found daylight to the outside. And if you’ve watched any Ravens football, you would know that very few players are faster than Jordin Bledsoe. About 7 seconds later, Bledsoe was in the end zone. 31-3 was the score at the end of the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, the Chargers would add a field goal by Nate Kaeding. But Ravens nickel cornerback DeAngelo Hall would suffer a fractured shoulder blade. His season would be done as well. The game was over very early on. The Ravens offense and defense sliced the Chargers up. The Ravens will meet the Indianapolis Colts next week in the AFC championship for a chance to go to Super Bowl 52.Ravens Take Over in San Diego

Re: Baltimore Ravens: A New Era
Ravens Add Veterans Hester,Cason The Ravens have signed two veterans after two roster spots have opened. Following their victory over the San Diego Chargers in the AFC Divisional Round, the Ravens placed linebacker Navarro Bowman and cornerback DeAngelo Hall on IR. Replacing Bowman at linebacker will be David Hawthorne who will play alongside Angelo Sylve. Behind Sylve, the Ravens still have surprising rookie Shamir Banks. Ozzie Newsome felt it was necessary to add a veteran to the mix at cornerback. The team's active cornerbacks are Dre Kirkpatrick, Brandan Perry and rookies Latwan "Captain" Kirk and Ashpa Cooper. The return game has been unimpressive thus far in the playoffs so instead of opting for an extra linebacker, the Ravens went out and signed veteran returner Devin Hester. Hester had a stint with the Ravens last year and was effective returning the ball. He played with the New York Jets earlier in the season but he was cut. Hester continued to workout and is in "top shape" according to special teams coach Bobby Stanford. Defensive Coordinator Mike Pettine had Antoine Cason on nickel packages. Cason played reasonably well and should receive playing time against the pass-heavy Colts. Although the Ravens lost two starters, two starters also return from injury. Starting Left Tackle Bryce Schell and Strong Safety Arron Bell both participated in full contact on Wednesday and will be "good to go" according to John Harbaugh. |
