Good work, Om. Pretty much spot on.

That Ravens zone blitz that ended the first drive had me fooled. I thought, initally, that I had seen a six man blitz, On future review, it's the same 4 man zone blitz the Redskins killed last year.

The offensive line did a pretty good job of picking it up, and I attribute the pressure on Campbell to a very veteran move by Ray Lewis. Rabach was beat off the snap, but to his credit, was able to recover and ride his guy past Campbell with no help from Betts, allowing Betts to release into the flat. With Samuels taking the RE out of the play, Dockery got the initial punch on Ray Lewis. But instead of trying to beat Dockery, Lewis just sort of waited (almost like he was waiting for Betts to leave), and as Rabach forced Campbell to step up, it gave Lewis a clean path to the QB.

This seems pretty unavoidable in the future. Campbell had enough time to get through his entire progression, which means the offensive line didn't screw up, but ultimately the throw was impossible to make while being drilled.

I guess that's why the Ravens are so good defensively year after year.
