Re: Watching the first Ravens vs. Texans right now on NFLN
I had forgotten Leach came this () close to a rushing TD and Antonio Smith's personal fouls on that 1st quarter drive.

I'm watching. Joe Flacco was at his best on that first drive. Andre Gurode played horrible. He had no idea who to block and often times didn't block anybody.
Also notice how many third and longs the Texans converted. Yates is going to have to do that.

Re: Watching the first Ravens vs. Texans right now on NFLN
Hope some of the over-confident Ravens fans are watching this and are reminded to the fact the Texans were not put away until well into the 4th quarter.
To them, this game was some sort of blow out. The final score was not an indicator of how the game actually played out.

Re: Watching the first Ravens vs. Texans right now on NFLN
First, TJ Yates is not going to be converting a lot of 3rd downs. They're one dimensional, and the Ravens don't lose much to one dimensional teams that have to rely on the run. Second, Grubbs > Gurode, so I expect the o-line to perform much better than the first time around. There may be some tense moments, but I think the Texans are outmanned and outgunned.

Re: Watching the first Ravens vs. Texans right now on NFLN
I don't think there are many Ravens fans that are over confident but most are confident.
While you make a good point about the game not being put away until about 5 minutes left, the Ravens left a lot of points on the board. If they convert two of those FG opportunities to TD's then the score is 24-14 at the end of the third quarter or even better 21-7 midway through the third quarter.
The Texans are going to be tough because what the game showed is that they had some opportunities that they just couldn't capitalize on in the running game and they got good pressure on Oher's side.

Its amazing how many 3rd down Matt Shaub converted, at one point he was 4 for 5 on 3rd downs.

Now I can clearly see there will be a considerable difference between Matt and Yates specially on 3rd down! Now The question is how much of a threat Andre is, not at 100% as it relates to bringing safeties down for run support or leaving them high to help with him!
And I forgot Grubbs was out last time
