EDGE NFL MATCHUP 2001 SEASON PREMIERE FEATURES A SEASON-LONG STUDY OF THE EXPLOSIVE ST. LOUIS RAMS OFFENSE AND THE STINGY BALTIMORE RAVENS DEFENSE
Mt. Laurel, NJ -- Edge NFL Matchup adds a new feature to its 2001 season coverage. A season long study of the St. Louis Rams prolific offense led by Kurt Warner and the Baltimore Ravens stingy defense lead by Ray Lewis, Super Bowl XXXV MVP.
“The offense of the St. Louis Rams has re-written the record books over the past two years, so we wanted to follow them closely, to show our viewers why they are so potent,” said Ron Jaworski, Matchup analyst. “Last season, we saw what Ray Lewis and the Baltimore Ravens defense accomplished. Matchup will show fans why the Ravens ‘D’ is so effective.”
This Friday, host Suzy Kolber and former players and veteran analysts Jaworski and Merril Hoge give fans an in-depth look at the opening weekend’s action by breaking down the X’s and O’s of pro football through the exclusive use of team-supplied coaching footage and NFL FILMS action footage – the same video that coaches and players use each week to prepare games plans and strategy.
For NFL Kickoff 2001, the following Week 1 games will be examined in detail:
· St. Louis Rams at Philadelphia Eagles
· Miami Dolphins at Tennessee Titans
· New Orleans Saints at Buffalo Bills
· Detroit Lions at Green Bay Packers
· Oakland Raiders at Kansas City Chiefs
