GAME THREAD - Ravens/Rams (preseason)

that wasn't a horse collar? damn, that looked violent!

MARCUS SMITH, CURSE YOU! That was a perfectly catchable pass, now we turn it over.

Right in his freakin hands.....

That was obviously not only a horse collar but a lot of face mask on that grab as well.

Joe has improved exponentially in the 2nd half! That was a great throw that Marcus Smith needs to catch. He was open the ball was perfectly thrown, but that is a ball that should have been caught.

Joe is already the best complete game QB we have He has shown the ability to throw ( not dart the ball like Boller) He can see downfield and adjust the play since he can see over the lineman, unlike Troy. He has shown that he can adjustthroughout the game and certainly learned from the first half. I think he should get the start next week again and then let Troy and Kyle come in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th quarters

Any chance we could convert any of our safeties to corners, LOL We are stocked at Safety. Give them a try one of them would have o be better than G-string

What is the extent of Gregg's injury? Is he going to be okay this season? Our defense is not the same at all and has no rush up the middle with our two middle guys, Gregg and Ngata

Looks like a full fledge QB controversy. Flacco to start next game?

**4G63** · 08-23-2008, 10:58 PM

O-line looks awesome....

**jonboy79** · 08-23-2008, 10:59 PM

There is NO DOUBT he has the most potential... He's the total package neither of the other two are.

**RavenScallywag** · 08-23-2008, 11:08 PM

Flacco plays a lot next week, but only because we want to protect Kyle and Troy...no way he's our starter for the season, at least not for a few weeks.

As good as he looked in the second half, he's got a long way to go before we want to put him in. He might play better than KB or Troy, but you want to keep the pressure off of him.

Haven't seen the game, but just reading this it wouldn't shock me if we wind up going 2-6 the first half of the season, then stick Flacco in and finish 4-4 with some actual hope that we've got our QB of the future...
