Film Room: How Baltimore’s Run Game Is Finding New Life
The numbers say the Ravens are running it better — but the film says why, and it’s more interesting than the box score.
The schematic tweak
Baltimore is using more gap-scheme runs with pulling linemen, creating defined lanes instead of asking backs to improvise. The yards-before-contact numbers have jumped accordingly.
The personnel factor
The offensive line is winning at the point of attack, and the backs are pressing holes with better patience. It’s a combination thing — scheme opens the door, execution walks through it.
Sustainability
The question is whether it holds up against better fronts. Early returns say yes — the concepts are sound and the execution is repeatable. This looks like a real identity, not a hot streak.
