Training camp: Day 2
July 31st, 2007 by StephenThe Baltimore Sun has a nice blurb about a sweet defensive scheme that Rex has the guys playing with:
Ravens defensive coordinator Rex Ryan is creative as far as blitz and pressure packages, but he may have outdone himself this morning. On one play, Ryan had nose guard Haloti Ngata playing middle linebacker, and then he brought the 340-pound Ngata on a blitz.
“Nah, that didn’t happen,” said Ryan, laughing. “Anything that I can do to take out the other team’s top guns and then create mismatches for us, I’ll do it. If you want to block Ngata with a 220-pound running back after he has gathered up a full head of steam, I’ll take it.”
I would hate… HATE to be the poor back left to block a charging Ngata. I really hope they pull this one out at some point during the season. ![]()
