Let's talk about Houston

Pretty sure we can kill Houston. I saw nothing concerning from them.

They looked solid in the second half. Glad this game is in Charm City!

Cincy quit early in the 3rd. Thats why they are what they are.

Foster is no whore and Houston's defense is REAL. Their line can apply pressure and they can take away the deep ball. We'll have to play at a high level for 60 MINUTES to win this game. The break is over, time to put in work.

You are right on. This could be a very tough game. Need to be VERY physical.

I'm pretty confident Yanda, Grubbs and Birk can handle their Interior, but they'll probably make a few plays like they did last time.

Yates left a few passes hanging up there
Some people questioned Ed Reed in recent weeks but he'll have a monster game this Sunday

Jarett Johnson will have an important role this Sunday with all those stretch plays, JJ can get it done

Like when you say "we", if you mean like a few of us posting on this board right now then I'd have to agree.

That was freakin' pathetic!!

How many rushing yards did Ray Rice have against Cincy this year?

Yeah, I thought so.

Foster coming in here and having a performance like that against us next week would probably be more shocking to me then just about anything else that might happen.

Very good point. One thing can be said about our run defense. We contain the stretch plays. We have done a great job at it all year. Noone really gets outside on us. That is what really killed Cinci today with their run defense.

I could see JJ and Sizzle not getting to the QB much, but having monster games. Sealing the edge and protecting the backside will be key.

Luckily we don't have to face Matt Shoob next week, lol. Tom Hammonds should stick to thoroughbred racing and gymnastics. I suspect he doesn't even know the players' names before he 'studies up' the rosters the week of the game.

Shoob, lol.

Foster destroyed them getting outside today.

There is no way Foster is running that many plays outside on us next week.
He may break one here or there, but not every freakin' time he touches the damn ball.
