From reading a lot about the two offenses in this week's Saints/Ravens matchup, I noticed something.
Both teams expressed a need to run the ball well, and both have talented running backs. The Saints however have a valuable fullback in Mike Karney, while the Ravens . . . have no fullback. http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/...t14,0,1873247.column?coll=bal-sports-football
We know that the Saints frequently run from spread sets with Bush in a range of positions, usually taking the snap as a wideout, in order to open space for Deuce in the middle. But, when short yardage is the key, Karney can blow up holes with the best of them.
The Ravens, on the other hand, appear to be without someone in this position. So in short yardage situations, they may be disadvantaged. It remains to be seen whether this will impact the game, but something to look out for.
WHODAT!
