2. A Surplus Of Talent

Another football cliché for you, “Think Players Not Plays.” The Ravens have a surplus of talent to boost their rushing attack. They have a solid and athletic offensive line. They have a handful of intriguing stars at the running back position. The Ravens need to establish the ground game, because it is what they were built to do.

To not have one of the best rushing attacks in football would be wasteful. The Ravens have Justin Forsett. The Ravens have Buck Allen. The Ravens even have Kenneth Dixon; and he may be the most talented back the Ravens have.

Jeremy Zuttah, Marshall Yanda and Rick Wagner are powerful run blockers. Ronnie Stanley and John Urschel both display the quick feet required for a great zone blocking. The Ravens don’t just have a good group of backs, they have a good offensive line. That offensive line is led by Marshall Yanda; who may be the best run blocker in football. The Ravens must use this talent.
