Mike Lombardi's Blue Chip/Red Chip List - Offense (Ravens mentioned)

**goldenelite28** · 08-27-2012, 11:04 PM

Did anyone catch the Gruden spot on ESPN today?

Was doing an over/under for the AFCN teams.

Steelers o/u 11 wins - OVER. Says that their defense will be great and they have really improved their o-line.
Ravens o/u 10 wins - UNDER. Says we will struggle without Suggs.
Bengals o/u 9 wins - UNDER. Didn't pa attention.

I assume Gruden's comment on Cleve may have been similar to the caveat on some food labels--

"Browns-- not a significant source of wins" ;) :D

Lol. On Rich Eisen's podcast they did a whole show on the north. Once they finished talking about the ravens/steelers/bengals they were like " um well I guess we have to talk about Cleveland."

Wow, he has Oher in his top 10 tackles. That's far off.

Yanda as a red chip is also underrated.

You're a force for good, mon ami!

Don't let the evil "power rankings" pull you in and destroy your work!;)

I like Gruden and usually I agree with what he says, but improved Oline for the Steelers? I don't see their defense being as good as it was last year either. I could quite easily see the top team of the AFCN going 9-7 this year (more realistically 10-6 or 11-5).

If Flacco continues to run this no offense well, then I can see us going 12-4. If our offense actually performs like it did vs the Jags every week, all we have to do is play good defense and keep our offense on the field.

And now for the defense and coaches. I for one was mildly surprised at the coaches list at 5 & 6.

As for the defense, I think he missed a second safety in Baltimore.

Pollard at least belongs on the red chip list, but he is one of those guys who will just get over looked now at this point of his career no matter how well he plays. He left it too long to find a team who were the perfect fit for him.

Gruden will get to eat his words come Monday Night September 10th when he and Tirico call the Ravens Bengals game.
