Are the Ravens in trouble?


By: Michael Tellier

Through the course of the offseason many NFL analysts have questioned whether the Baltimore Ravens will have the team they did a season ago when they went on their unbelievable Super Bowl run.  The Ravens parted ways with key defensive veterans Ed Reed and Ray Lewis, and on offense said good bye to Anquan Boldin.  Now I thought the team would be in trouble after seeing that they had lost these three key players, but now that TE Dennis Pitta has gone down with a season ending hip injury, I think the Ravens are in some serious trouble.

QB Joe Flacco proved last season that he can get the job done under pressure, but I think for the Ravens offense to be successful this season they will need to hand the ball off more to RB Ray Rice. 

Plain and simple the Ravens don’t have the receivers that they had a year ago, and they will need to mix things up a bit more I think if they want to be successful.  Not to mention the fact that their defense will be weaker this season as well; which means they will really need to control the tempo of the game.  They won’t be able to go three and out on offense and rely on that stellar defense to hold teams off.    Reply to:
