Saints set to face a challenge against stout Baltimore pass rush

The way their D is set-up reminds me alot of another time when Mills and Co. played for us. Pass protection will be the key.

I take nothing away from the Ravens D, however those total sack numbers are a bit skewed to the casual viewer - see below:

Ravens D sacks vs younger, inexperienced QB's :

Peterman - 3 sacks
Allen - 3
Mayfield - 3
Mariota - 11

Here are the old/washed up guys (sarcasm)

:

Keenum - 3
Roethlisberg - 1
Dalton - 0

^^^^^ experienced QB only 4 sacks (2nd lowest in the league if you spin it that way).

Huge test for the black birds & potentially a match up nightmare as well.

First half will be tough against that D. More concerned about Flacco lighting us up which nothing is saying he can't.

Nick Underhill mentioned on a recent Podcast that the Ravens are a blitz heavy team through 5 games. They better have zone to back that up against a Sean Payton Saints offense though. We have a history of hitting you with 4, 5 route concepts to kill defenses on the back end.

In saying that, you may want to keep an eye on Mike Thomas & Josh Hill ... those slants and crossing patterns could open up BIG time.

Ravens aren't coming after Mariota or that O line this week ... #9 will eventually make you pay.

Can't wait until Sunday.

Blitz heavy? Better watch the screens to Kamara!

The Raven's have a stout defense, possibly the best the Saint's have faced in 2018. That said, the Raven's have yet to face a team with as potent an offense as the Saints.

Offense line - top five ranking, run or pass.
Tight end - not great but solid, blocking and receiving.
Receivers - one top 5, with enough young, fast talent to keep the DB's honest.
Running backs - best tandem in the game.
Game plan - one of the best offensive minds in the game today.
QB - GOAT.
