Re: Marlon Brown
I am not absolutely positive since I haven't rewatched the game.
But, I thought it seemed like Joe WAS throwing away from Reed and I know what Joe said...so I am not convinced either way. But it seemed like that is what Joe was doing. And if Reed happened to be shading towards Marlon alot for whatever reason, then that would make sense.
Anyway. I think Marlon is going to continue to grow and will be a very good player for the Ravens.
A 6'5" receiver who goes up and gets the pass at its highest point and who has the ability to run after the catch with no fear. I like it.
Just remember Houston DOES have a very good defense.
And our offense is still trying to gel with the new receivers.
Clark played MUCH better this game. So that was another plus.
We need to get healthy and soon.

The encouraging thing about Brown is the fact that he catches the ball almost every time it's thrown at him. He had one drop in the end zone vs the Browns but it was a tough catch to make tbf. I think the very fact that we have an undrafted free agent starting WR of all posistions for us is good enough for now.

Re: Marlon Brown
He was bound to have an unproductive game sooner or later. It's easy to forget that Brown is just a rookie. Next week he has the opportunity to bounce back against a defense that just got shredded BY THE JETS. Let that one sink in.

Re: Marlon Brown
Hate to be pessimistic, but Marlon's catches so far this season have come against Jabaal Sheard, Buster Skrine, Chris Owens, Tony Carter, Kayvon Webster, and Kareem Jackson so far this season. Those players have a combined -5.4 coverage grade on PFF, so I think Marlon's more taking advantage of opportunities than playing incredibly well. He's done a decent job of that so far, for a rookie who's a nebulous 2nd in terms of passing targets. PFF has him at a -2.0 pass grade, with 2 dropped passes on 15 targets, but with an impressive 4.3 YAC average, and a 66.7% catch rate in each game. I'm doubtful, however, that he will be able to make a catch when matched up with an average to above-average pass defender. Hopefully he will grow throughout the season and prove me wrong.

Re: Marlon Brown
Hey as long as he catching when Joe throw his way, I don't care who is on him. Someone who can Catch. I hope he gets better soon. Teams will start playing him different after he and Torrey lit up the bills for 4tds.BOLD prediction , lol.

You need to actually watch the film before throwing out those kind of statements. Sure he wasn't spectacular last year, mainly due to injuries, and the fact that he wasn't surrounded by a talented group of players on the Dline. He was great in 2011, and has had a really solid season so far. But looking at things from your point of view, no one else matters on this team other than Flacco. Nobody else is any good.

Re: Marlon Brown
I don't think many teams have two shutdown corners, so if Torrey can match up with others' alpha Marlon can match up with the beta. I guess that's what teams do, matchups. and maybe Stokely/Doss from the slot.
by the way...haven't heard Boldin's name mentioned much in the last two weeks..."Nothing stops these Baltimore Ravens. Beat them, injure them, shove them to the bottom of the standings, drag them into a hostile environment and mount a big lead, and they just keep trudging forward like nothing fazes them."
