Ravens News 9/6: Signature play, roster transformation and more

The Ravens’ offense has some questions to answer, as the play of starting quarterback Joe Flacco has declined in recent years but rookie Lamar Jackson may not be ready to take over the job. So expect the Ravens to lean heavily on their ground game, which was one of the most diverse running schemes in the NFL last year with Alex Collins at running back. They changed from zone concepts to gap concepts from week to week depending upon the opponent. They particularly liked wham and trap plays, with a fullback or tight end working across the line to block a defensive tackle by surprise and open a clean lane for the back.
