CSN Baltimore: Five questions for Ravens at Bengals
http://www.csnbaltim...-ravens-bengals

[Mike in STL]

Sunday morning from 10-11 I'll be co-hosting with Brad Tree on 1370am. Going to chat about all things Ravens and NFL Playoffs.

Cant see giving us much of a chance. Joe is hurt, Torrey is hurt. The Oline still sucks. How exactly are we going to do anything on offense??

 

We need bad Andy Dalton to show up to have a chance and that hasn't happened much in Cincy.

Have to wonder if the Ravens win, that eliminates San Diego from the playoffs. If Miami wins and we count on a SD loss to get into the playoffs, would SD be so deflated having playoff hopes crushed that they come out flat, even to a KCs backups? Plus, those KC second stringers would likely be playing their hearts out like its an audition. Without playoff hopes, would SD rotate their backups in?

Just heard 2 interesting things.

First of all, both Gresham and Eifert are out today.

Secondly, they were saying that Zimmer was showing tape of the Ravens offense to the defense and they were saying how easy it is to see what the Ravens are going to do...ala what NE was saying last week.

How is that possible? They have to fix that.

No Arthur Jones.

Sucks that the only team that has clinched in the AFC and has nothing to play for is KC...really sucks for the Ravens.

Baltimore came into the weekend with five key players questionable to play, and all but one of them will suit up.

Running back Ray Rice(thigh), wide receiver Torrey Smith(thigh), outside linebacker Elvis Dumervil(ankle) and center Gino Gradkowski(knee) are all active after being limited in practice throughout the week.

The biggest loss is starting defensive lineman Arthur Jones, who is out because of a concussion suffered last week against the Patriots. He has been one of the team’s best defenders this season, registering 53 tackles and four sacks.

With Jones out, second-year lineman DeAngelo Tyson is expected to see increased time. RookieBrandon Williams is also active for the first time since Week 11 against Chicago.

The only other injury-related inactive is cornerback Asa Jackson (thigh). Tight end Dallas Clark, safetyOmar Brown, offensive lineman Ryan Jensen, wide receiver Deonte Thompson and outside linebackerJohn Simon are all healthy scratches.

For the Bengals, they are without their top two tight ends. Tyler Eifert is out with a neck injury and Jermaine Gresham is sidelined with a hamstring problem.

The other big question for the Bengals was the status of Pro Bowl middle linebacker Vontaze Burfict, who suffered a concussion last week. He has been cleared through the NFL’s concussion protocol and is expected to start.

Defensive tackle Devon Still, cornerback Terrence Newman, running back Rex Burkhead, wide receiver Ryan Whalen and offensive lineman Tanner Hawkinson are also incactive.

The only way I see the Ravens winning this one is if they can consistently get to Dalton. Of course the pass rush has fizzled as of late and the Offense can't move the ball enough.

 

It's going to be tough.

Nantz and Simms on the call. Hello Friends

True. I feel like the soft "Hello Friends" goes better with his Masters coverage.
