With all of the attention in Baltimore on the tackle and wide receiver positions, it’s easy to forget how different their secondary is going to look compared to the group that played the AFC Championship game.

Gone are starters Josh Wilson (http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/4229/josh-wilson) and Dawan Landry (http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/3956/dawan-landry). It appears that Tom Zbikowski (http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/4736/tom-zbikowski) will take over Landry’s old starting job at safety.

Much more interesting: Baltimore’s youth movement at cornerback........

They're certainly going to have one hell of a test.

I can't wait to see the look on Harbaugh's face when his secondary becomes burnt toast.

i hope we dont play to cautious and actually use our main weopens , the wide receivers . cos as much as i like mendy i think our running game is now the secondary option .

Cary Williams is definitely interesting. I thought he was like their 5th or 6th corner

I do expect Jimmy Smith to struggle though. He is a rookie and will be facing one of the best Qbs in the game, and likely against Mike Wallace in his first game

Well, good luck with that, Ratbirds...........



Not really. It's gonna look like they have a bunch of William Gay's running around back there....

I like this comment:


When the Steelers go four wide they will be facing three of the fastest receivers in the NFL. The fourth guy holds every Steelers receiving record.

Some of the comments from Ravens fans make you wonder if they even watch football, such as this one:


It’s ironic that steel trolls are all over the article about Ravens secondary, considering that Ravens’ Foxworth, #5 corner on the roster ( Lardarius Webb is clear #3/nickel corner) is probably better then Pitt’s #1 corner Ike Taylor or any other corner on the roster.

:lol: Yea, just keep telling yourself that buddy!

Hope BB's arm does not fall off after throwing for 3 or 4 TDs.

Let's see how aggressive Arians is, or will he go conservative. Almost hope the Ravens get an early lead so that we open up our offense.

I hope that we come out aggressive and don't let up. It's always difficult to run on the Ravens so we need to target their weakness, which is their secondary.

No matter what he does, he'll be criticized. It'll either be "predictable", or "grab-bag", or "predictable grab-bag".

People who don't know don't realize they don't know what they don't know.

I personally don't want the Steelers to jump out early. That never seems to bode well.

I want the Ravens to grab an early lead. The Steelers Offense over the years tends to explode when they're desperate and behind, but don't do as well playing aggressive with a lead.

I don't mean to be negative, but I don't think we're going to see what was advertised from the Steelers Offense this year and especially in this first game. The O-Line is still spotty and Ben is an injury away from gimping the offense entirely especially with his backyard style. The Rats D will be rushing hard Sunday with lots of blitzing. It's going to be tough low-scoring game.

Hmm...i thought they picked up Bernard Pollard from the Chiefs to be the incumbent starter...guess i was wrong.

I have to agree, but it is nice to dream. The pre season was a nice showcase for some of the young talent we have, but the regular season may be a different story. Still think that Ben is going to have a great year though.

Oh yes, I expect a great year from Ben as well. But for this game we need "Get er done" gutsy Ben. This Sunday's game, win or lose is not going to be pretty. It's going to be slow and it going to be tough. I believe this until I see otherwise. If the Steelers play great and win and handily Sunday. I'll gladly eat my words. But it's the Ravens. They always give us a tough game and the Steelers better be ready to bring their best stuff.
