"After Baltimore’s surprising Week 7 loss
to Jacksonville, the focus was on the fact that RB Ray Rice had
a mere eight rushing attempts in that game. In each of the next two weeks,
Rice’s workload was bumped up to 18 carries — and the Ravens came out on top.
So it’s somewhat distressing for Ravens fans that Rice then had a season-low
five carries in Sunday’s loss to the Seahawks.
While the chart below shows that the Ravens are
not giving Rice a consistent workload, the formula is pretty simple: When Rice
has more than 15 carries this season, the Ravens are 5-0. When Rice runs the
ball less than 15 times, they are 1-3." (Check

The Ravens need to feed Ray rice the ball but on the 1 yard line they need to give the ball to Ricky Williams and run behind Vontae Leach and the Jumbo package. They seem to be doing everything but that in those goal line situations. Passing to him out of the backfield seems to have the same effect as a run play.
