Here is a scouting report on Dixon, from ESPN--the full article is here:

There are ways to help this young quarterback. First of all, he is a tremendous runner with the ball in his hands. Pittsburgh would be wise to use designed movement by the quarterback to move the pocket, and to call designed runs for Dixon. Much like facing Vince Young in Tennessee, this will make playing man coverage much more difficult for Baltimore. Using Young as a model would be wise, as the Titans keep his mental responsibilities to a minimum, do not ask him to make elaborate reads and encourage him to run when the play doesn’t go to script.
Young also has done a great job of throwing to his backs and tight ends in the short and intermediate zones. Incorporating RBs Rashard Mendenhall and Mewelde Moore in the screen game would be wise for the Steelers as well. Both catch the ball well and calling screens will help slow Baltimore’s pass rush. TE Heath Miller is also a reliable weapon at Dixon’s disposal. Miller should consistently get favorable matchups against the Ravens’ heavier 3-4 linebackers. Things will go much more smoothly if Dixon can exploit the favorable matchups at his disposal with his excellent wide receivers.

The Ravens will have to contain this guy, if he runs as well as this scouting report claims. And of course Mendenhall and Parker. Watch for the screens and short passes--an opportunity for a pick six if they read the plays well. Sure tackling and disciplined containment should win this game (assuming of course the offense shows up, and scores some touchdowns).
