Re: GAME THREAD - Ravens/Vikes (Preseason)
I am not saying start him for the season. But think about this for a second. Smith and Boller COMBINED threw for 2 more yards than Brooks Bollinger BY HIMSELF! And hell, Bollinger didn't turn the ball over.
Let Flacco play with the first team at least a little bit.

Re: GAME THREAD - Ravens/Vikes (Preseason)
There is a flaw in your logic it's only Troy's second year. He's not that much more experienced then Flacco if anything cut Boller out of the reps. You know what you have with him the other two not so much.

Re: GAME THREAD - Ravens/Vikes (Preseason)
Post game presser, Harbaugh said they have not decided on a starter for next week. That is NOT a good sign for either guys.
dralor, you can't cut Boller's practice reps. If they haven't decided on a starter for the season, they both need the reps.

And in other weird preseason news Will Demps is the leading tackler for the Houston Texans tonight. Now that's for the Demps fan club,all one of you.
Put the smile back on your face.This is a 60 minute ball game.

Re: GAME THREAD - Ravens/Vikes (Preseason)
True but if you were to go with Boller. I'd cut his reps in preseason games and just give him the majority in practice while allowing the other two to get the majority of the preseason reps to hopefully bring them along. But as long as the starter is up for question you can't do that. It also seems that Flacco is not in that discussion anymore so Troy and Boller will get the most reps unless today was so bad the coaching staff decides to rethink that stance.

Re: GAME THREAD - Ravens/Vikes (Preseason)
Colt Brennan has been surprisingly impressive this preseason. Henne - nice numbers but a lot of passes for only 133 yds. Schaub is a stud.

Re: GAME THREAD - Ravens/Vikes (Preseason)
Just once again for perspective, I offer this:
Troy Boller = 11/17, 65 yards total (Yes, I did that on purpose)
Tavarius Jackson = 7/11, 82 yards
Gus Frerotte = 4/9, 69 yards
Brooks Bollinger = 7/15, 63 yards
Two out of three Viking's QB's threw for more yards than Troy and Kyle COMBINED.
Brooks FUCKING Bollinger??
I'm serious. Just flip a coin and name one of these two guys the starter and be done. Either way it's going to be a LONG year.

Re: GAME THREAD - Ravens/Vikes (Preseason)
If it stays the same I figure they might go with Troy because there is at least hope by the end of the season he will be improved. I'm not sure there is much of that with Boller anymore.

Re: GAME THREAD - Ravens/Vikes (Preseason)
I like it better then 6/6 for 27 that Boller was at one point. At least there were some down the field throws but honestly not sure anyone is going to look good behind the the center with the tackles the way they are at the moment.
