With Yanda back, Ravens look better on offense

All preseason, the worry with the Ravens has been that they lack complementary wide receivers or healthy tight ends.

Now that they have their offensive line back, it might not matter nearly as much.

With Pro Bowler Marshal Yanda back at right guard, the Ravens’ offensive line just mashed the Panthers front seven (which isn’t bad) for an impressive touchdown drive.

Quarterback Joe Flacco was sharp running the no-huddle, but the way they leaned forward and ran with Ray Rice was significant. With a defense on its heels , Flacco stood back and moved it around to guys such as wide receiver Brandon Stokley and tight end Visanthe Shiancoe, and those replacement targets looked more than sufficient.
