Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco better start loosening his arm in case the team hires Scott Linehan as offensive coordinator.

Breaking down who has the edge, and where, in Monday night's Baltimore Ravens-Detroit Lions matchup.

Now that the NFL season is here, I'm putting a twist on my weekly Blogger on Blogger series. Each week, I hope to enlist a blogger who regularly writes about the Ravens' opponent to help me break down the game. This week, I exchanged emails with Max DeMara, who blogs about about the Detroit Lions for Lions101.com.

The Ravens' defense is bracing for an encounter with versatile Detroit Lions running back Reggie Bush, blocking out plenty of time to prepare for his all-purpose capabilities. Although Bush aggravated his calf injury Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles, he told Detroit reporters Wednesday that he intends to play Monday night against the Ravens.

The Packers have built their offense around former league MVP Aaron Rodgers. They love putting him in the shotgun, using three-wide sets and keeping defenses on their heels with the no-huddle.
