Four man rushes will be enough
Fact:Philip Rivers‘ passer rating is 32 points higher when he is blitzed than when he is not. Few quarterbacks are better against the blitz, as Rivers excels at finding the open receiver and getting rid of the ball quickly.
That said, the Chargers’ offensive line is terrible, especially up the middle.Brandon WilliamsandHaloti Ngatashould have a ball going up against their young, struggling interior offensive line. BothTerrell SuggsandElvis Dumervilshould have little trouble getting pressure onKing DunlapandD.J. Flukeras well.
That will allow the Ravens to keep seven guys in coverage and still generate pressure. Under pressure, Rivers only goes for a 75 passer rating. The Ravens can and should rely on four guys to get that pressure, which should be a winning formula for the Ravens’ defense.
