4. Use What You Actually Have

The Ravens don’t have three good wide receivers. Steve Smith Sr. is hurt. Mike Wallace is the only receiver that scares anybody. Because of this irrefutable fact, the purple and black must use the players that actually can help them. They must re-brand into a running football team.

Baltimore should run a majority of their plays with Kyle Juszczyk in the backfield or with two tight ends. Since Crockett Gillmore is dealing with an injury, Darren Waller and Dennis Pitta seem to be the perfect pair against the Steelers.

The Ravens love their 11 personnel sets. This is baffling because they have gotten nothing out of this personnel group. The Ravens play-makers are in the backfield and at the tight end spot. They need to utilize their best players. They need to do what works, rather than banging their heads against the wall.
