Ravens defense vanilla tendencies alarming

While it is still pre-season, the Ravens defense is showing unsettling tendencies

The Ravens defense has yet to be beaten for big plays. That feat would be considered a much less shallow success had the Ravens pass rush not gone missing-in-action.

Lawrence Guy and Albert McClellan are at the core of the issue. For all the the workman like work they provide, their lack of versatility holds the defense back.

Lawrence Guy is used as the early down rusher opposite the rush linebacker in a four man rush. If Guy is forced to face offensive tackles, he will lose every time.
