I subscribed this season and have been really enjoying it. The lack of ads is awesome, but Deuce Windham's weekly Saints film study is almost worth the price of admission alone.
His most recent film study did a good job of breaking down how well the Ravens disguise coverages. They've had a lot of success this season generating interior pressure which in large part is a result of the safeties being so good at rotating coverages while linebackers are showing blitz. The Ravens lead the NFL in blitz percentage, but the only good QB they've faced was big Ben. The Steelers' offensive line isn't the Saints line, but they can be good. They only allowed one hit and one sack against the Bengals. I'm pretty confident that the Ravens are going to have to back off of those blitz numbers against the Saints simply because of how good the Saints offensive line is, and the constant flat threat posed by Kamara, but we'll see. We're also very lucky that Ingram is back, because his blocking ability is going to be needed.
Windham has also been doing repeated breakdowns of Davenport's game-by-game improvement and it's really remarkable how far Davenport has come. Crazy we only had to give up 32 first rounders for him.

They will pressure Drew. but in return Kamara should have a monster day.

I know this: Brees has never beaten them. They are physical. It is tough recovering after playing them for your next game.

The other thing to consider is that interior pressure puts a lot of responsibility on your corners and leaves a lot open over the middle. Thomas could have a big day as well, and dropping CJ Mosely into coverage might not work so well for them.
It would be cool to see the Saints use some two back sets with Thomas as a decoy to give Kamara space.

I think the screen game will be big against them. The bye week is pretty good timing to help give some time to throw in extra wrinkles against a defense like that. It will probably be a pretty tough day running the ball.

Not on the road. Unless you are referring to Batman and his dossiers. Drew and CSP will need a dossier on the Ravens D for sure. I do agree with the previous comments about the screen game being critical. I actually think that Ingram is going to have a big screen day against them. He has become very good and very dangerous at running the screen. AK is more explosive but Ingram is reaching PT23 levels of being patient and reading blocks. That one he ran against the Redskins was perfection.

there will never be another PT23.

I want to see the Saints softening up the Ravens defense with the option from Taysom Hill for the whole first quarter.
Then, let Drew light them up for the rest of the game.

I never said that he was PT23. In fact, Ingram is a more complete back overall that PT23 ever was.

Damn you. I've been interested in subscribing to them but haven't pulled the trigger on them just yet.

They were doing a promotion at the beginning of this season for like 20 or 30% off the first year or something like that. I'm a big Blues fan and it's difficult to get good, consolidated Blues info, so that plus Pelicans coverage was a selling point for me too. That said, the Saints coverage is 10/10. I know not everyone is a Larry Holder fan, but I like him. He and Windham are the most active Saints contributors.
