And they've built this really strong run game where they could attack those fronts just fast. by running the running back instead of having the option and that sort of deal too. And the Bills have a very strong offensive line. Deion Dawkins, I think, is having a career year at left tackle. Spencer Brown is playing really well at right tackle.
But the Ravens also have the number one run defense in the league. So I don't know if they can just go to their six offensive linemen sets and run the ball like they did against the Broncos. They just straight up bullied the Broncos. They got under center and they just bullied them up front. you're not going to be able to do that against this Ravens front.

I think this is a game where you're going to have to spread them out and you're going to have to run Josh Allen a ton. He's going to have to be a huge part of the running game against this Ravens front.

Let's take a look at Philadelphia and the Rams. The Rams, as we all know, started 1-4. I think there's some stuff that you could talk about looking back schedule-wise, but getting blasted by Arizona week two by 30 points was like, okay, what's going to happen here? The offensive line was a massive problem. the injuries of receiver, and they come out and they dominate Minnesota.

Real quick, do you think there was anything from the Minnesota-Detroit game that impacted Shula, a D coordinator's approach to what they wanted to do against Darnold?

Yeah, I think the Rams are typically a zone team. They like to play back a little bit and just kind of keep everything in front of them. But they were much more aggressive against the Vikings. They were pressing them, doubling Justin Jefferson, just not giving those receiver free releases.

And then that allowed the pass rush to really work against a Minnesota offensive line that's pretty weak offensively. their best tackle, Brian O'Neill. He struggled in that game. Cab Robinson has struggled all season. And the interior line is really bad. So once you force Sam Darnold to hold the ball a little bit and let that pass rush get to work, they have a lot of problems.

So, you know, I don't know if they're going to do that. against the Eagles. I think the number one thing is they're going to have to try to stop Saquon Barkley. But this is going to be a much different game for the Rams. I think against Minnesota, there's some, it's just a good matchup. Some of the strengths versus their weaknesses kind of matched up very well.
