With all the hype the Baltimore Ravens get over their elite defense http://www.carolinapanthersteamonline.com/daryl-williams-jersey , their offense goes almost unnoticed. It’s not otherworldly by any means, but when you have one of the league’s best defenses, it doesn’t have to be. The main reason for their success has been the revitalized passing game. During the 2018 offseason, general manager Ozzie Newsome prioritized rebuilding the Ravens corps of pass catchers, and rebuild he did. He signed wide receivers Michael Crabtree, John Brown, and Willie Snead, all of whom have received at least seven targets per game this season. He also invested draft picks in tight ends Hayden Hurst and Mark Andrews Youth Ian Thomas Jersey , the latter of which has caught a pass in every game this season. In all, it adds up to a passing offense that ranks ninth in passing yards per game and seventh in passing game DVOA. The running game hasn’t been so successful. Running backs Alex Collins and Javorius Allen are averaging just 3.27 yards per carry, though they have punched in seven touchdowns. The Ravens call their offense with a keen awareness to their lack of running prowess, as they pass the ball on 62% of their offensive plays. However, there is one facet of their run game that needs to be discussed as a key to the game, what do you know, here are those keys:Prepare for the zone read in the red zone. The Ravens like to trot out rookie quarterback Lamar Jackson in the red zone while splitting Joe Flacco out wide. While Flacco couldn’t show any less interest in these plays, they have generated some success for the Ravens ground attack. Jackson is averaging 5.2 yards per tote on his 20 carries and has scored one touchdown. The Panthers defense should have plenty of practice defending these types of plays in practice with Cam Newton across the line of scrimmage, so they should be able to limit the Ravens success on these plays. Don’t let John Brown free down the field. In his first season with the Ravens Authentic Ryan Kalil Jersey , Brown is on pace for over 1,200 receiving yards while averaging over 20 air yards per target. The Panthers have proven susceptible to deep passes at times this season, and Brown is one of the premier deep targets in the NFL right now. Get an interception or two off Joe Flacco. Since his Super Bowl run in 2012, the Ravens quarterback has built a reputation on questionable decision making and sporadic accuracy. The interceptions haven’t come as often this year, but the potential for defenses to capitalize on mistakes is still there. Flacco is the eighth most aggressive quarterback in the league this year when it comes to throwing into tight windows, meaning he’s throwing to covered receivers often. On top of that, among quarterbacks who have started all their team’s games this season, only Sam Darnold and Blake Bortles have a larger negative discrepancy between their expected and actual completion percentage, according to NFL’s next gen stats. He’s throwing into tight windows and he’s missing throws. The defense needs to make plays on those balls to set up the offense. With the Panthers offense facing arguably their toughest test this season Authentic Luke Kuechly Jersey , the defense will need to play a part in setting the offense up for success. The Ravens weak ground game shouldn’t be a problem for the Panthers improving run defense, but the passing game could pose some problems. If the Panthers can pressure Flacco into mistakes, it’ll go a long way towards a Panthers second straight win. Cam Newton walked into the interview room Friday night sporting a black eye and questioning his own judgment after an unexpected crash landing.The Panthers' eighth-year quarterback escaped a potentially serious injury when he scrambled out of the pocket and dove headfirst on a third-and-9 play in the first quarter, only to get upended by cornerback Jonathan Jones causing the 2015 MVP to land on his head.Newton was forced to leave the game to be evaluated for a concussion, but returned four plays later and helped lead Carolina to a 25-14 win over the New England Patriots to remain unbeaten in the preseason."I was thinking to myself it's the preseason, what do I do? What do I do?" Newton said while describing the run. "I was like I want to get a first down, but I want to bring this plane in as smoothly as possible."The landing was anything but smooth.As Newton was contemplating how to avoid contact, Jones hit him low, flipping the QB off his legs and sending Newton spiraling into the air."There were a lot of malfunctions going on from the cockpit Authentic Greg Olsen Jersey ," Newton said with a laugh. "Buttons were getting stuck. It was bad. It was real bad."Newton didn't have a concussion, but said his noticeably swollen left eye was hurting. Newton said he received the black eye from his own helmet when he hit the ground.He joked it was his first black eye since getting in a fight in middle school.Newton finished 11 of 17 for 142 yards passing and led three scoring drives — all resulting in field goals — as the Panthers built a 9-3 lead at halftime."I always worry about him, but that's him — he plays to win," Panthers coach Ron Rivera said. "I would much rather he didn't (do that), but he's going to give us all he has because he wants to do the best he can out there."Tom Brady's night wasn't nearly as eventful for the Patriots (2-1).It was a quiet game for the five-time Super Bowl champion, who completed 12 of 18 passes for 102 yards in the first half and got the Patriots in field goal range twice. But drops and costly mistakes proved pivotal for the Patriots, who were limited to 130 yards in the first half."Our execution needs to be better," Brady said. "You look back at a lot of the things and it's a lot of us. It's not so much what the other team is doing."WHO'S THE GUY?With Julian Edelman suspended for the first four games, Brady will be looking for a go-to guy. He hooked up four times with Phillip Dorsett for 36 yards and once each with Cordarrelle Patterson and Chris Hogan for 10 yards."We're going to have to be on the same page and we have two weeks to figure out who is going to be out there doing it Authentic Ian Thomas Jersey ," Brady said.MCCAFFREY BUSY AGAINPanthers running back Christian McCaffrey continued to be a major player on offense, touching the ball 10 times for 51 yards on Carolina's opening drive which lasted nearly 10 minutes.OTHER SCORESBackup quarterback Taylor Heinicke scored on a rollout in the second half and Garrett Gilbert connected on a TD pass to Mose Frazier for Carolina's only touchdowns. New England's only touchdown came with 2:51 left when Mike Gillislee scored on a 2-yard run. Rivera said both Heinicke and Gilbert are proving worthy of a roster spot as they battle for the No. 2 spot behind Newton.NATIONAL ANTHEMThere were no on-field protests during the playing of the national anthem.INJURIESPatriots: Running back Jeremy Hill, who is battling for a roster spot, left the game in the fourth quarter with an ankle injury and didn't return.Panthers: Already without three starting offensive linemen, Carolina lost starting offensive tackle Jeremiah Sirles on the game's opening drive to a hamstring injury. He did not return.NEXT UPPatriots: Visit Giants on Aug. 30.Panthers: Visit Steelers on Aug. 30.
