Overall he is a great player, which goes a long way for any team you play with.
Offensively
He has some great weapons in Maurice Jones-Drew, Reggie Wayne, Vincent Jackson, DeSean Jackson and Joe Flacco. The only problem is that he cant balance his game with the run because of his offensive line, all rated in the 70's. When you force him to pass, he manages to get just enough time for short routes and will dink and dunk you all day long, again doesnt have time for much play action or deep routes because of the pourous offensive line. HE LOVES TO THROW OVER THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD on crossing patterns. If you take these away from him he will struggle. Realistically only one or two linemen away from gaining that balance and being a real threat in this league, a threat even without them as I barely beat him.
Defensively
Cant remember what defensive formation he runs but he is stout against the run and covers the flat routes with a cornerback in a shallow zone, I tried to force a pass in the flats and was picked for 6. Knowing he runs a shallow zone you can run a mid slant with your TE and drop short of his safety and deep of the CB zone. He covers the middle of the field well too, really need to snipe to fit anything in there. If i were to play him again i would throw more to the outside of the field.
Overall a really tough oppponent.
