Vanilla ice: No one was in any hurry to give away state secrets with another team around. The Ravens ran a very basic form of their offense in 7-on-7 and full-team drills, with mostly inside runs and play-action passes. The Ravens didn’t throw downfield much at all, instead using the grind-it-out nature of their offense to introduce themselves to the Eagles.
