Browns: 3 Baltimore Ravens to gameplan for in Week 14
By Chad Porto
The Baltimore Ravens are sliding hard from their early-season play but the Browns still need to worry about these three players on Monday night.
The Baltimore Ravens don’t look like they did in Week 1. The high octane, defensive brutes have been rendered very human after walloping the Browns 38-6 to start the season. After starting 5-1, the Ravens have gone 2-4 since then. Making their showdown on Monday night not just imperative for the Browns and Ravens rivalry but a must-win to keep their playoff hopes alive.
For that reason, these are the three Ravens players the Browns should gameplan for.
Patrick Queen
Patrick Queen is having a rough up and down year. While their defense is very effective as a unit, they’re not getting much individual production anywhere. Especially not as a pass rush unit, as no one player has shown the ability to get after the quarterback. Forced to rely on stunts and blitzes, this is where Queen may prove to be a headache.
The Browns got rolled the last time against the Ravens in part because of their blitz packages. Queen may just become one of those names to worry about as the Browns have struggled against blitzes in the past. Queen is strong enough and fast enough that if he were sent up the middle could become someone to worry about. While not grading out well in the eyes of PFF, he’s a fast player who has sure tackles and can put most anyone down with a clean hit.
