Terrell Suggs: Raven's are in a state of emergency. I posed the question in my blog title but my opinion as a ex football player I would say yesssss! Yes I'am a former New York Jet but I'am a hometown boy and the Raven's are my team and from a player/coach eye their major leak is the O-line and that trickles down from the NFL, NCAA, HIGH SCHOOL to POP WARNER. The offensive line determines what type of game your offense will have and whether your team win's for the day. I know defense wins championships and the Raven's did it with their first win. However, if you don't have some type of offense to sustain drives, eat up clock and put some type of points on the board it's similar to a ox in the old farming days you push, push and push that ox will run out of steam and that's whats happening to our D.
Speaking of our D, since the Broncos game no team has scored over 16 points from scrimmage on our defense. The majority of the points were field goals and the D is ranked 14th in the league which isn't bad compared to what people believed they would be.
Offensive wise we have to step up the running game it's def. lacking this year. I know Ray Rice is hurt and he doesn't want to sit out because he want's to be there for his team and his pride will not allow him to sit out he's a true football player. Pierce has to step up his game because it's not on the same level as it was last year. More consistency from the passing game and Flacco will help but our team over the years has been a run to set up the pass and now in the past few games has gone pass and hope the run can get us a few yards.
This season up to this point is a black eye for the Ravens because under 500 at the break doesn't match up to the Raven's play or make up of their team. So state of emergency yes, will they fix it we shall see.
