Ground Game (Key Players: Bishop Sankey, Shonn Greene)

With Jake Locker on the bench, only two guys should accumulate any kind of significant rushing totals against the Ravens: Bishop Sankey and Shonn Greene.

With Greene injured for a couple of weeks, Sankey took over the starting job but didn’t run away with it. Sankey is averaging just 4.0 yards per carry, though a lot of those struggles can be attributed to his offensive line, which is almost as bad at run blocking as pass blocking.

Dexter McCluster may see a carry from time to time, but he is mostly around to catches passes.

Whoever is in the backfield, the Ravens should have little problem running over a Titans rushing attack that has averaged just 101.1 yards per game.
