OFFENSIVE LINE: B-
Jared Gaither’s performance was near outstanding given his inactivity over the past few weeks. To go through the game without any setbacks would have been an accomplishment. But Gaither was dominant at times both run blocking and dropping back in his pass sets. He manhandled his man on Rice’s 23 yard run. The interior line played well as they have all preseason. Adam Terry struggled at times in pass protection while setting up against what appeared to be a much quicker defender in Chauncy Davis. That said it wasn’t pretty but nonetheless an effective outing for Terry. David Hale created a gaping hole for Cory Ross on a second and 7 at the Falcons’ 17. The run took the Ravens down to the 4 but the play was negated by an illegal set by Mike Kracalik. The flag set the Ravens back to the 22 with a second and 12. On the very next play instead of looking at a first and goal from the 4, Bramlet was victimized by Falcons’ Thomas DeCoud at the 3 yard line, a pass intended for Wilcox. Hale was later manhandled a few times by Falcons’ DT Kendall Moorehead.
