The Ravens are without many key players including outside linebackers Terrell Suggs and Elvis Dumervil, wide receivers Steve Smith and Breshad Perriman and running back Lorenzo Talaiferro. Do not look for starting QB Joe Flacco to play. As many as 13 key players will not suit up for the Ravens.

Ryan Mallett will get a ton of playing time, but everything I have seen from him indicates he is a watered-down version of Jay Cutler. He has a nice arm and that is it. He will be throwing or likely overthrowing, a bunch of young receivers.
