We've shown that we can throw it deep and Gurley has rushed well in back to back games...now it's time to put it all together.

There's one guy on that Ravens team that we know too well...a guy that LOVES to bite on any double move. So, who's gonna do it?

Dude honestly Peters will probably be playing legit and not like a knot head to get revenge and bragging rights because that's the type of person he is. With Goff not making great decisions lately I hope this isn't the case!

I voted for Kupp for two reasons.

Cooks will probably be out getting extra rest since he had two concussions close together. And also because Kupp is a precise route runner and especially when you see replays of double moves.

Totally agree. Peter's seems like the type who thrives on proving a point and he's going to do all he can to prove the Rams made a mistake. Hopefully the Rams can exploit that, but it wouldn't surprise me to see him make some big, game changing, plays.

The ravens have a great D and I can see pressure getting MP a int, I just pray he doesn't get a pick 6! :mad:

Unfortunately Marcus Peters has looked great in a Ravens uniform. So I don’t think it will be as easy as throwing a double move at him. However, if anyone knows his tendencies, it’s Sean McVay.

I think I'd prefer to get Gurley alone with him on an outside run and see if he's interested in making a tackle. This also seems much less likely to go for 6 the other way.

Peters is in a defense that utilizes his skills correctly. Nothing about this game will be easy for anyone on our offense. I just hope Woods is back because Michael Thomas did nothing with his first opportunity except drop balls.

Make him tackle someone to expose one of his weaknesses so use Gurley on screens or short passes in the direction of MP.

Am I the only who thought he caught that ball? He had complete control of it until he hit the ground out of bounds. Wouldn't that be a fumble out of bounds just like the Kupp play and it stand where he caught it?

Just like with Suh we can count on the former Ram giving us everything he has so yeah we'll get the focused Peters. But this game and whether we hang with the Ravens won't be about that tbh. It'll be about dragging the Ravens into a low scoring game where we might be able to steal a W.

Offensively it'll be about keeping that balance on the ground. Which btw shouldn't be a problem as the Ravens aren't a juggernaut at stopping the run. McVay doesn't have a choice here. He has to keep his rookie OL protected by allowing them to fire off. So I think that will happen and the Ravens incidentally are not dominant vs the rush giving up 4.4 ypc. And yes yards aren't a great way to measure run game but overall the Ravens can be had on the ground. We all know how Peters hates to support in the run lol...

Defensively believe it or not it's stopping Ingram. He's had a huge role in the Ravens' offensive surge, ranking 4th in success rate (dude gets it done, keeps the chains moving) but also 6th and 8th in DYAR and DVOA. The stats together show he's not the biggest threat to bust long runs but he's among the best in the league behind that line at converting plus yards when they need them.

So IMO if the Rams can control the LOS they might have a chance in this game. And btw did you know the Rams' defense is ranked #2 in the league in run YPC? 3.3 is what they're allowing, talk about a huge improvement and with our secondary settling in we might have the right unit coming online at the right time to give the Ravens a game.

I too would like to see Peters' reaction if he was the only thing between Gurley and the end zone...I don't think that would end well for him..

Ravens backfield D plays zone vs. man, which suits Peters much better than what Wade was asking him to do, leaving him vulnerable to double moves, etc. So now he's not so vulnerable to that anymore.
However, Rams O feasts on zone defenses. Kupp eats them alive. Would love to see Everett or Higbeast truck MP, if MP bothers to get in their way that is. In fact running the ball with MP on the field means it's 11 vs. 10. I wouldn't even bother putting a WR on him to run block.
Ya I'm still disappointed in MP's lack of tackling while a Ram.

Peters has been a monster since going there. I’m not thinking anyone is burning him, and with the way Goff is throwing....ugh

Peters is great in zone, yes, but there could be opportunities if the Ravens drop him deep in Cover 3 with no help over top. We can isolate someone against him there or throw some two route combinations at him and try to bait him. Don't you think he'll be tempted to jump a Kupp dig coming right at him? Goff would need to sell it and look him off.

If we run at him, the only thing he'll brag about is how fast he got out of the way.

Knowing Peters, he'll probably be on his A game to prove we were wrong to trade him. But I agree with those who said we should run at him (and screen at him). He's allergic to tackling.
