Re: Ray Rice is finally 100%
No, it is not the concensus.
Most realize that there are two likely contributing factors to Ray Rice's 2013 performance.
1) The offensive line is terrible.
2) Rice's claims of being 100% are not really true and he is still suffering from latent issues surrounding his hip injury.
While it is possible that Rice's abilities have declined, it is unfair and inaccurate to really try and gauge if he still "has it" or not with the offense being in the current state that they are.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.

Re: Ray Rice is finally 100%
I think it has a lot to do with it.
Rice more than Pierce because even going back to college Pierce has had a tendency to bounce it outside any chance he can get. He is fast enough to turn the corner and make something out of nothing, but against a good defense he'll never get a good angle.
To me, it looks like an entire offense that just isn't on the same page at all with the blocking scheme.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.

Re: Ray Rice is finally 100%
Totally agree. Flacco throws the best deep ball in the league. Its what he's known for (also deep out routes). But the line won't allow for anything like that.
What I meant was that type of offense should've been the focus by the coaches and FO during the off season. But instead they choose, stupidly, to have a ground and pound philsophy and change the blocking scheme.Master of 'Gifs for dummies'

Re: Ray Rice is finally 100%
Which is becoming more frequent. Ok guys, all is well RR is still the best. Joes problems are a result of everything wrong with the offense before the snap, no sarcasm here. I don't blame Joe but he has missed way too many throws that that could of helped win a hunch of close loses. 4-9 in the last 13 regular season games puts me on here more than I like.

Re: Ray Rice is finally 100%
On Sunday's broadcast they were saying that in zone blocking schemes the backside typically cuts the opposing linemen and that our guys are not doing that. I don't know how much that would help, but creating a pile on the backside of these runs would help slow down linebackers as they try to 'run under.'
To me, run unders have been the things that have killed the run game, as opposed to losing at the point of attack. Too many opposing LBs have been able to not only fill gaps, but get into the backfield before our RBs hit the LOS.

Re: Ray Rice is finally 100%
Watching Alfred Morris break tackles in the backfield on one play followed by carrying the defense back down the field on the next play. Our RB's are not doing this. I hope it is all Super Bowl hangover and they can go back to their pre Super Bowl forms after this off season.
