Ronnie Stanley vs. Carlos Dunlap

The Ravens drafted Ronnie Stanley #6 overall with high expectations. This season the rookie has played solid. He started off the season shaky, but came into his own and has performed well on the line. The Ravens are hoping that he can continue to develop into a franchise left tackle. Stanley will have his hands full against Carlos Dunlap

Carlos Dunlap is a 6’6″ 280-pound monster. He is disruptive and knows how to get to opposing quarterbacks. In their first meeting, Dunlap was able to sack Joe Flacco. At his enormous height, he also has the ability to jump up and deflect passes on the line of scrimmage.

This is going to be the most important match-up of the game. It would be devastating if Joe Flacco were to get hurt in a meaningless game. He is only a year off of a torn ACL and another serious injury could end his career.
