The Ravens Defense Must Be Aggressive

The Buffalo Bills have play-makers on their offense. Charles Clay is a reliable tight end who can do a bit of everything. Sammy Watkins is one of the most exciting receivers in the NFL. LeSean McCoy is a dazzling running back as well. Tyrod Taylor may not be a great quarterback but he is capable of having a great day. If Dean Pees thinks his defense can play conservatively the Bills will move the ball with relative ease.

The Ravens have to force the issue. They have to make Taylor get rid of the ball quickly. No rolling out of the pocket and extending plays can be allowed. From the second this game starts, Pees has to give Taylor tough looks. The Ravens must get in the backfield and make his life miserable. You saw what pass rush can do to Cam Newton on Thursday Night. If the Broncos can do that to the reigning MVP we can make Taylor look like a backup quarterback again.

The Ravens have to bring the heat. They have better safety help then they’re used too. Lardarius Webb and Eric Weddle will help on the back end. Pees, please focus on getting your guys to ring “Hell’s Bells” in the backfield.
