Thanks for this serv.
The Ravens fan who writes about the "inflation" of our passing defense figures actually makes a pretty fair point. Our run defense is good certaintly, but perhaps not as good as our ranking might make it out given just how terrible our passing defense is and what that provides as fodder for opposing coaching staffs to play with -- i.e., if your opponent's pass defense is horrendous, why wouldn't you attack from the air far more frequently than on the ground.
Of course, there's the mitigation of keeping your team's time of possession up -- but at the same time, you could always run the interior routes and the quasi-run yardage passing plays where you get 5-7 yards, stay in bounds and keep RGIII off the field.
Taking a step back, what a massive, massive sea change that we have a player on offense that opposing teams are trying to keep off the field. How long has it been since we've had someone like that!!
