The Passing Attack

This will be Joe Flacco’s first real game since last November. It’s easy to look at the latter part of last season and think the Raven’s don’t have a great passing game. In the 10 games before Flacco’s ACL injury, he passed for 2,791 yards. If we average that out over 16 games, we can see that Flacco was on pace to throw for around 4,500 yards. That would have been his highest yardage total by far. I don’t see any reason for him to regress this year now that he’s fully healthy.

Too many people are sleeping on the Ravens’ receivers this year too. Steve Smith Sr. is back and ready to lay it all out on the field one last time. Kamar Aiken stepped up big time during the injury-riddled 2015 season and should be able to keep that momentum going.

The addition of speedster Mike Wallace gives the Ravens the ability to stretch the field and spread out the defense. A healthy Breshad Perriman looked great in the final preseason game and should hopefully show that he was a first round draft pick for a reason. What I’m trying to say here is this: the Ravens receiving corps is nothing to scoff at. We’ll see on Sunday how they stack up against the Bills solid defense.
