Running Game Is Key
The Baltimore Ravens are used to sitting atop the NFL's
defensive standings, but were abused by Kansas City's offensive
line Monday night and will come to Washington Sunday with a chip
on their shoulders. Baltimore has some of the premier defensive
players in the NFL led by perennial Pro Bowl linebacker Ray
Lewis, but allowed the Chiefs to possess the ball for nearly 40
minutes, giving the Redskins some cause for optimism.
Joe Bugel, assistant head coach-offense, believes Washington must establish the
running game.
Putting together long drives is the best way to attack the
Ravens' defense and keep Baltimore's 2,000-yard running back,
Jamal Lewis, off the field. Getting a power running game going,
winning the tussle at the line of scrimmage and allowing running
back Clinton Portis to gain momentum with a steady stream of
carries will be key, Bugel said.
"That was a good game plan against a great defense," Bugel said of Kansas City's
run-heavy
approach Monday. "So we've got to make first downs to give
yourself a chance to run the football. Our team is starting to
understand that it takes 11 guys and on third and one you can't
walk
off the field and not get the first down."
Ravens Coach Brian Billick said: "This is a very prideful group; our defense in
particular
takes a great deal of pride. They feel they did not hold up
their end Monday night on a national stage and they want to show
what they're truly about Sunday night."
Washington was repeatedly in long-yardage situations Sunday in Cleveland, thus had to
throw
on nine of its 11 attempts to gain a first down on third down.
Getting positive yardage on first down is essential to putting
the team in run-friendly scenarios on third down, otherwise the
Ravens pass rush could produce the kind of game-changing plays
that have made it among
the NFL's elite.
"We covered that [yesterday] morning in all the meetings," Bugel said Thursday. "To
be good,
not only do we have to win on first down, but we have to win on
third down. First and third down in this league are critical to
keeping a drive alive. If you want to run the football you need
more snaps. How do you get it? More first downs. We can't end up
second-and-12, second-and-15,
third-and-15."
