Rolle, Landry update

Ravens doctors recently examined cornerback Samari Rolle and safety Dawan Landry and apparently told coach John Harbaugh they weren't ready to play against the Raiders Sunday. Fortunately for the Ravens, Oakland has the No. 27 ranked passing game in the NFL. The only problem for the Ravens is that Raiders quarterback JaMarcus Russell is huge, standing 6 feet 6 and weighing 260 pounds.

"He's like trying to take Ben Roethlisberger," Ravens outside linebacker Terrell Suggs said. "When you get hold of him, you have to smother him because he is so big."

Suggs needs to worry more about finding consistent methods to get by offensive tackles before worrying about how to tackle a QB. I haven't seen him show the ability to get to the QB in a hurry in a long time, even though you seem to think he pressures QB's consistently.

He and Pryce have been very disappointing this year in rushing the passer and without that, the secondary is quite vulnerable.
