I hope to GOD that the Ravens force him to be a passer. The kid threw 5 incompletions last week. One of which was a TD pass that Crabtree couldn't get his feet down on.Quote:

No doubt. Like I said though almost all of the throws I have seen him make have been frozen rope types. If I am the Raven DC, I make him show me touch and deep accuracy on arching balls, and try to undercut and stay under. Also, I want to see if he can make multiple reads and figure out the zone blitz schemes that have given the young QB's problems for years.Quote:

But I'd love to see him get cute and test Reed deep, it'll be a happy homecoming for Ed if he does.
Perhaps, but this Raven defense that we will see in the SB will be nothing like what SF has seen so far in the playoffs. I do not expect many blown coverages or missed tackles, or big plays. The Ravens have not played an attack like this so far in the playoffs, but obviously they have been playing well defensively vs elite competition without crowd help for the pass rush.Quote:

To me, like it has been all post season long, the Ravens are going to go as far as Joe and the O take them. This defense is going to keep them in the game vs anyone, but it is going to be on the O to get into the 20s at least to keep up with the high powered attacks on the other side.
Chykie Brown's play recently concerns me.Quote:

This was my biggest complaint about the GB game... they didn't pop him... hell I'd pop him early in the game IN the pocket knowing I'd get a 15yarder just to let him know... don't try that running sh*t.Quote:
