CBS: Dennis Dixon plays RG3 role at Ravens practice

[TheGreek1973]

This is very scary man. You mean the Ravens have RGIII's twin brother?

[Bliz]

Does anybody know where I can find the cumulative record of their opponents for further analysis? As well as ours?

Not cumulative records, but Sagarin's rankings include a strength of schedule based on games played to date, and records against top 10 and top 16 teams. http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/sports/sagarin/nfl11.htm

He has the Ravens as the #10 team. 28th ranked schedule. 1-1 vs top 10, 4-2 vs top 16.
Skins as the #13 team. 8th ranked schedule. 1-2 vs top 10. 3-5 vs top 16.

scanning their schedule so far for common opponents, they blew out Cincy, lost by 1 to Philly (week 2, pre-meltdown), beat Dallass and split with Pittsburgh. So they get the edge on that one.

Remember when the Redskins did this with Brandon Banks before an Eagles game? Yeah that didn't work out very well either.

They don't have Suggs, they don't have Lewis, and Ellerbe is a game time decision (IIRC). The defense is still formidable, but I like our odds if we widely vary our play calling. They have been susceptible to the PA pass at times, and Robert is great at that.

Tough game and a what a statement if we win.

I could see Harbaugh actually using the pistol offense against us with Dixon for a few plays. Surely not the commitment to it we have.

[Hiro]

No dead serious. Repetition is the best way to learn something. If I recall, Dixon has 4.4 speed. And he has run this type of offense before.

Notice how the Giants played us better the second time. We still had success. Just not as much.

RG3 is more than his speed.

Dixon can't touch him when it comes to elusiveness, throwing accuracy and awareness. Maybe Harbaugh should have his guys run gassers to get them into shape?

[BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93]

I just find it funny that ppl are freaking out over Dennis Dixon...

[Sizzla3000]

I more concerned about Ray Lewis and his dancing. I get scared silly every time I boot up Madden 13. That dance and the fact that Ray has actually killed two people has me frightened for RGIII.

Dixon is on the practice squad. They would have to promote him up before gametime, elevate him to # and cut someone. He's not playing.

In other news Orakpo played Terrell Suggs' role & Keenan Robinson played Ray Lewis' role. Standing on the sideline and watching their team practice, knowing they won't play Sunday.

The Ratturds can role play all they want. I just can't wait for the post game handshake after we torch them!

[SkinsCrushCowboys]

DD..... I have seen RG3 play, I have see you play....sir, you are no RG3.

[SkinFaninOKC]

We used Banks to simulate Vick in preparation for the Eagles before MNF.

That went well.

The Ravens can simulate all they want, hell they may be better off using Madden '13 than a human being. I am sure some 14 year old Madden freak could simulate RGIII better than Dennis Dixon. I don't think the sim matters, the Ravens have a swagger about them and aren't scared of RGIII. This game will be tough and see it going like the MNF win.

The hits keep on coming.

[Dallsux]

Every team has been doing this. I don't think it made a difference.

For real. We have 6 losses, none of which can be laid on his shoulders as his fault.

[Saqs]

The Ravens seem so intent on being disciplined and focused on stopping the option (lol we barely run that) that i'm willing to bet we light them up passing this week and/or the zone stretch is very effective.

"It feels like you're watching Air Force football,'' Ravens linebacker Jameel McClain told me after practice Thursday. "I played against this kind of offense in college, against West Virginia. The biggest problem you face is the misdirection. This is the time when you really mean that all 11 players on the defense have to stick to their assignments.''

"Against this offense,'' said McClain, "my job is my first read, and I hope that's how all my teammates see it too. It's impossible to ask any defensive player to play the dive, play the quarterback and play the pitch man. You've got to choose, and you've got to be disciplined when you make that choice.''

[CGSKINS]

lol! Not even close. They are reaching.
