Good breakdown. On D, we should probably get used to seeing the short passes with resistance. They seemed dead set not to allow big plays, which is the right thing to do considering the atrocious nature of last year.

I think a lot of the game plan was playing a lot of vanila defense, not a lot of blitz because Flacco's seen everything and it really wouldn't work against him. So line up and just play 11 on 11 and give up the under while protecting the deep ball. It worked and we got what we needed which was the W in the end.

The offense will get hot and be out of this world as the season progresses, the positive is the Defense didn't look at all like the screen door it was in the pre-season. So we should be happy and just hope the offense gets out of the funk quicker this year than week 4 or 5.
