Game Thread -- Ravens @ Atlanta Pre Season

WTF is it with NFL refs and missing these tuck rule calls every single time? It's plain as day. Stop wasting everyone's time and making teams waste their challenges. It's an easy call. Jeezus.

Also, I have to eat crow here....I blasted Vinny for saying Harewood was crap, apparently he's playing like it tonight for sure.

incomplete pass...damn it.

**Dont Know** · 09-01-2011, 08:16 PM

Is it legal to hold Jones like #64 did on that fumble?

That just seems like a dislocated shoulder or worse waiting to happen.

I'm not a coach however, and none of us fans have seen anything from Smith other than the 4 preseason games and one practice at the stadium. The coaches obviously don't trust him not to blow coverages...remember, no OTA's AND he missed about a week and a half of camp with that groin injury.

While I agree for the most part I still have seen enough of our guys they we had. Williams not so much but I know Fox has been bitching about his need and looks a step slow.

Again, I'm no coach either but I just trust Smith over Foxworth.

Wasn;t tuck...just clearly a forward pass.

Foxworth still looked better than he did last week. He was making a lot of strong moves on his leg so hopefully he's trusting it to not give out.

Kruger got caught inside and Smith came up soft and mad no play at all.

Same difference. Arm is going forward. I just can't fathom how they miss that same call all the damn time.

Sometimes just being a little slower is preferable to completely blowing coverages...just saying.
