One thing I see in print or on Twitter is how the Ravens should “stop running into an 8-man box.”

It’s important to note, that committing to run the ball in such a situation is primarily a function of game situation and offensive formation.

The Ravens have a talented group of TEs, including Williams and Boyle, who have proven themselves as blockers and will occasionally line up at fullback. In addition, the Ravens are one of the few NFL teams that still uses a FB regularly.

Let’s try this Socratically…what look do you expect the defense to show when you line up with a TE and some version of the I formation?
