    Will our offense have enough to contain Dumervil and Suggs Sunday or was Ben coached to get the ball out timely..i'd hate to see him having to scramble for his life all afternoon. Maybe the double vice will be in the plan's..What's Pittsburgh's strategy for this offense thoughts?

    Me, too. I just said something similar to a guy in my office building. The game plan better be for Ben to get rid of it extra quick or he is going to be on a stretcher by halftime.

    I'm thinking the only way they gameplan against that is a LOT of screens.

    Suggs and Dumervil WILL be able to get through this offensive line, without question. It's just a matter of minimizing their effectiveness.

    They will eventually sniff out the screen plays. Remember Suggs almost grabbed what would have probably been a pick-6 on one of those screen plays.

    I expect to see some screens. Lots of extra blocking from the TEs and RBs. Haley is going to try to slow down the rush with draw plays. If the Ravens are rushing on the ends, then it should open up a seam for the RBs as long as the offensive line is halfway decent.

    Once the rush slows, then it'll be deep to AB and/or Sanders.

    Here's hoping...

    Key in this game will to slow them down. You are never going to stop them but you can slow the rush down.

    On the other side Baltimore has to be worried about our defense given Flacco has more interceptions then touchdowns lol

    One of the key elements of the pistol is the threat of a running quarterback, you think any defense is going to consider Ben a run threat out of the pistol, I don't think so???

    I fully expect Ben to be sacked 3 -5 times, but we're used to overcoming that type of stat. The key is not to turn the ball over. The Ravens defense isn't all that good at anything other than rushing the passer, so we'll get some production.

    I think on average Ben has the most yards gained when rushing?
