The last two games I noticed Ray rice getting hit in backfield quite often. I also noticed no Leron Mcclain in there at times. Why is are 265 lb. fullback not in there setting the lead block. My god. Rice needs a lead blocker like Mcclain. I also had an Idea of this. Listen closely. Ray Rice in the slot. Mcgahee in the backfield along with Mcclain. Clayton and Mason as the wideouts. Todd Heap tighend. My goodness. How would that look to opposing defenses. How about some trick plays. Flea flicker. End around. Option. Can any of are halfbacks throw the ball? Are offense has been too predictable. I would like to see Ravens first possesion not even run the ball. I mean throw,throw,throw all the way down to the red zone. Then punch it in. Joe Flacco needs to look for Kelley Washington more. I'll give you a tidbit stat. Kelley Washington has 25 receptions this year. 20 of the 25 have been for first downs. Thats money people. Flacco needs to go to him more. Any one know Washingtons speed. Is he a deep threat. Clayton and Mason can rarely get behind a DB. Can Washington? Cant remember Flacco going to him deep all year. OK thats all for now. Love to hear some comments.

One of the big problems with the Ravens game plan
is that they’ve fallen in love w/ Ray Rice and forgot how the team went 3-0 with McGahee providing the scoring and McClain wearing down defenses later in the game to extend drives and run out the clock protecting a lead. We need to stop listening to the fans who talk about Rice like he’s te next LaDanian Tomlinson and realize he’s an important part of the puzzle, which wouldn’t be complete without the other pieces (Willis & LeRon).

Dont forget that ......
Ray Rice was the one who got them in the red zone early in the season. Then they gave ball to Mcclain and Mcgahee for the finish. Ray Rice surely isnt the problem. He is the only one that is consistent game in and game out. Cant say that for the receivers, tight ends, Mcgahee, Offense line or Defense Line and or Defensive backs, safetys or special tems and Safetys. Or Kicker.

Never said he was the problem
He is a good player who may rise to greatness. But he needs McGahee and McClain to continue to set him up and keep him fresh. How many times have we seen Rice break off a long run and then get the rock the very next play? That’s the time to bring in one of the other two to give Rice a breather and continue to pound the ball down a winded defense’s throats. That’s my issue with Cam and the playcalling.

I feel like we just gave up yesterday when we just started throwing the screen to Rice each and every play. We basically just gave up at that point and did not even care to look at the WR. We just wanted to get the hell out of Cinci and take our loss. I do not agree with that at all and it was a disgrace of a showing by Cam and the Offense.

That's Joe's sophomore slump
Taking the easy way out, relying on Rice rather than going thru your downfield reads. Where has Todd Heap disappeared to – again!?

This is what is pissing me off
The first 3 games of the season, EVERYONE was seeing the ball. Joe was hitting 6,7,8 different players a game for a pass and things were great. McGahee was our back once we got within about 30 yards, Heap was our target there, and we just abandoned all of that.
I think Cam is just trying to show off and hoping that he can prove Joe and his offense can hit 70 yard passing plays. I know we all love seeing the screen pass to Rice, but why are we using it play after play?

Something tells me, MaLoR
that the dump off to Ray is not the play called, just the option and Joe is getting way too comfortable letting Rice make Flacco look good.

Nice post. Your dead on Snikin. Rice has been blown up in the backfield a lot. I like your ideas about all three being on the field at the same time. We are vanilla again. As a matter of fact we haven’t been creative since Flacco’s first game.

McClain has to lead the blocks.
Just dont understand why he is not leading more blocks.

Cincy last year
Clayton pass to Mason off the end around

Seriously
Give McClain the ball on the FB handoff a few times to wear them down, then give it to Rice and let him burn em

Yeah but Rice is a threat to break free for 50 yards on every carry. Cant say the same for Mcclain.

Cam really misses Lorenzo Neal. He had him in San Diego and last year he is a hall of fame fullback. We are definetly missing him this year. LeRon has to reacclimate to the actual fullback role which is still a work in progress. Kelly Washington and Joe Flacco will eventually become a dynamic duo much like what Joe has with Ray Rice. They currently have little chemistry but of what they do have (like you mentioned in the 20 of 25 being first downs) it is explosive. Washington was drafted to be the next Randy Moss type player but was constantly pushed down the depth chart (first at the Bengals then at the Patriots). Our offense this year has been anemic to what it could be but given time it can and will be explosive.

The non-use of McGahee is a joke. McClaine probably can’t wait to be traded or for free agency. To go from Pro-Bowl to 3 carries a game is insulting. Mixing those three will have any D totally worn our by the late 3rd quater. We can’t abandon this every time we get down by 7-10. Which will be often as long as the other team receives first.

Lorenzo Neil was an inexpensive leader who could blow people up. There was no reason to let him go.

Old, tired, hurt
and there’s a reason no one else has picked him up.

I’ll take that old tired and hurt any day. If I were a team that didn’t know him I wouldn’t take a chance. Since we know what he can do- why not? Or let McClaine block for Rice like Snikin says.
At this point, anything is better than that showing on Sunday. This week is for ledge jumping.
