LT Jonathan Ogden may be out Sunday for Ravens

That would be a huge blow to their offense, which will already be without Todd Heap at TE and Jamal Lewis at RB.

So it'll be up to the defense and STs as usual-what else is new.

Baltimore should just punt on first down-their chances would be better that way.

should we even bother hosting them????

I say we field the 2nd stringers to make it a contest

We're 7.5-8 point favorites with a 37.5-38 O/U.

I would bet the under. Without Ogden it may be 13-3. I doubt Reid gets pass happy with those CB's.

should be interesting - hard to see Ried "NOT" being pass happy.

We faced a very tough offense in Minn - shoudl be a good test against one of the best defenses now. If we put up 30 points on BALT - i'd say we are ready for NE in the SB. Balt's offense, won't be a huge challenge for our defense - which after last week - i think most would agree, there are exploitable weaknesses.

I would be shocked if AR went any other way.

I hate playing teams at less than full strength. It would have been nice to see Kearse potentially getting some work against Ogden, and it would have been a nice learning experience (punking) for Burgess and our other DEs.

Iggloo · #8 10-26-2004, 04:45 PM

I am not going to shed a tear because Philly will play a Ravens team that's not at full strength, especially if Philly is without Westbrook. All I care about is a win. If Philly runs the ball about half the time and takes shots downfield, it should win this game. The Ravens offense should struggle.

This will be a great game for us. If Ogden is out the D will be stoked to keep the Eagles quiet. With McAllister on TO, Deion on Pinky/Mitchell, and their LB's eating up the TE/RB passes we should see how good we are on O and how good our OLine is (which is playing extremely well-Tra included).

bb1 · #10 10-27-2004, 02:19 AM

Our average field position is going to be about the 35-40 yard line I think. That doesn't bode well for any defense.

1 or 2 games... they have looked very bad at times as well... it's a bit early to say they are playing 'extremely well - tra definately included.' He was getting torn up against CHI.

It seems the OL can only do 1 thing good in a given game. They will either pass block well, and stink against run blocking. Or they will run block well, and stink against pass blocking. If they pull it both together within a single game for a nice string, it would be very very powerful.

WIZ · #12 10-27-2004, 03:10 AM

They've opened up some nice holes and Nabby has had incredible lanes to throw. I think they've played extremely well. Tra looks to be having his best season in years. Sure, teams are bringing 8 and 9 at times but the OLine is doing their job.
