Offical Ravens thread! (User discussion)

[FrostedFlakes]

What plays, playbooks, formations, changes, etc. do you make with the Ravens? I'll list a few I make.

Changes:
1. Andersan at FB.
2. Clarence Moore my #2 reciever.
3. My 3rd string tight end to my second. (Difficult name to spell.)

Strategies:
I usually pound the ball up the gut for most of the game and the occasional slant and corner routes with my recievers and tight end.

What do you all run? I need help with a playbook, I'm using Tenn, and its alright but I think I can get a better one.

Why would you switch Moore and Clayton?? I'm using Ravens this year and just wondered why..

Because he is HUGE!!!

[ChiSoxFan95]

Would a lot of people recommend doing this?...

I also change David Pittman to third string CB aka NB

[daone]

all of that plus the guy with a long name to number 2 te

I run Oakland or the nyg pb

lots of dives and quick passes

[kungfuHustle]

I use the Ravens and also put Moore in as the #2 WR. I use the Ravens Offense and Defensive play book. On D I usually control a Safety. I run the Spread offense and run when the field is spread out. Todd Heap and Moore are my primary targets. I have alot of trouble getting my backs to hold on to passes in the flats. Are you guys having this problem also?

[JL514]

hmm pretty much the same switches but I run a compression offense with SEA considering switching though and the balanced D PB.

run most of my offensive scheme with tight bunch formations out of near 2W and single TB

on D im all about 3-3-5

Yeah I do the same thing. More so Oakland than any other pb.

u guys sub in B.J. Ward for Landry and user him? I do, i think it's best cuz he's tall and has good speed.

[Lites Out]

On offense I throw the ball a lot. Dont ask why. :D

On defense, I play a lot of man defense with safety help over the top. At times I willl blitz. At times I will play zone

[TO81BALLINNN]

does anyone have any plays that work great with the BAL PB?

like some plays that i should put as audibles

[sportfan88]

i cannot get anything deep with the ravens. Do you guys have any tips for passing the ball with the ravens?

[wazaflo]

I do the following subs:

Andersen at FB
Moore to #2 receiver
Cody to LOLB, Thomas to MLB (I do a 3-4)
Then in substitutions for 2-4-5 put Suggs in opposite Scott, also sub Suggs in for Dennis Haley in the 1-5-5 formations. The Ravens have a lot of depth at LB so I like to use all of them.

The last sub I make is BJ Ward at SS and user with him. Nice speed and tall

For passing with the Ravens I like to manual catch with Todd Heap. Also Moore is my #2 receiver for a reason, USE HIM. If you're having trouble going deep vs zone, look for a stop n go route, have Mason run it because he's faster than Moore. Anyone in deep blue zones bite badly on the fake and it doesn't matter too much how fast the WR is. Don't bother trying to go deep against man, it's not going to work well with the Ravens WRs.

go deep to moore and to williams(4th wr i think)

if you have any user talent you can jump over the db when going deep to moore.

if you have one on one just hit lob without precision. that makes it so the ball isnt overthrown making it a little easier to jump up and catch the pass with moore.


also, if the safeties cover the outside, dont be afraid to send heap on a streak. hes got good speed compared to most lbs and if the pass is on target it is really easy to user jump up and catch it.


the deep ball is pretty much all about user catching.

and dont forget about pump fake and looking off safeties.

ive done 8 games with the ravens and im 8-0 ... i realized that lewis and anderson are good for running out-routes from the backfield .. they are usually wide open. but lewis always drops screens .. does anyone have tip for running screens, im pretty bad at it.

[ChiSoxFan95]

Any Ravens users, who should I have spelling J. Lewis, and who should be at #1 and #2 FB??
