Ravens rule out Asa Jackson. Questionable: Bernard Pierce, Vonta Leach, David Reed, Dannell Ellerbe

If Peirce is on the same level of questionable as Leach and Ellerbe than mark him down for a 100 snaps.

It will probably be pain tolerance for Pierce. Obviously his knee is going to take impacts. If it limits his ability to effectively run, then obviously we will have to lean on Rice that much more, which isn't a bad thing. In fact before Pierce started strutting his stuff...our game plan was basically just Rice anyway.

Whatever Pierce can contribute will be a bonus. I really hope he can be effective because I think he opens up a different dynamic. But we can win without him I think. I really really want him out there though.

At the very least I hope it's a decoy, even if it's only for a few plays (as long as they work)

Wow I didn't think Pierce was really that hurt. I thought they were playing coy with him during the week. Can't really fudge the Friday report to much that is usually the closest you will get to the truth in regards to injuries in the NFL. Pierce's home run capability is scary.
