The Baltimore Ravens need to get off to a fast start in their 2019 games because playing with a lead plays into their hands. Last year the formula started to be put in place. It was all about controlling the time of possession and playing great defense.
Yes, the Ravens added speed to the offense this offseason. The Ravens know they need more big plays from the offense but that doesn’t mean the overarching plan has changed at all. The Ravens are still going to run the football heavily. The offense is going to grow, adapt and evolve while keeping the core principle in place.
