Establish A Run Game

Joe Flacco had a career high in competitions and passing yards, bu that is not something to be proud of.  The Ravens are a team that have made their presence known on the ground game, but they got away from that last season. Marty Mornhinweg lived and died by the passing game and it did not work out.

Joe Flacco plays his best when all the weight is not on his shoulders. The team has two more than capable backs in Terrance West and Kenneth Dixon. Both are young and explosive. They offer different skills and compliment each other well in the backfield. West is more of the downhill runner while Dixon can be explosive in the pass game.

Coach John Harbaugh also did rule out bringing in another back next season. If this were to be the case, the team would have to make some decisions. Having two featured running is more than enough and ultimately they must establish an every down player. Finishing close to the bottom in rushing yards per game is unacceptable.
