After watching not one, not two, but three young running backs ball out in Thursday night’s preseason-opening win over the Carolina Panthers, some advice is already being offered to Offensive Coordinator Marc Trestman (not that he needs it).
“Ravens should feed the backs,” wrote The Baltimore Sun’s Mark Selig.
“Joe Flacco's rookie year, 2008, is the last season the Ravens offense handed the ball off more times than it passed. Obviously, passing has trended upward in the NFL since then. So much so that last year was the first time in the Ravens' 20-year history that their offense had fewer run plays than completed passes.
