Definitely something "About to be fired" Rex would say.

Ding. Ding. Ding. Ding. We have a winner!

Not only that--what other "AFC head coach" would be talking to the Sad Sack of Krispy Kreme Krumbz from Baltimore? Let alone saying something that stoopid?

Not that I put it past Donut Boy to make shit up. He only keeps his job by stirring the chamberpot to generate page views--one reason I stay well away from the Blight-For-All site these days.

Preston still has contact with Uncle Marvin. I wonder if he's the AFC coach?

That's what I was thinking but Ray didn't have Flacco throwing all those years before much less Torrey and Jacoby to throw to.
He had, um, Boller and even HARBs brother plus Banks and Wright and Stoney Case. Nuff said.

To HARBs credit, he was the one calling all them blitzes at the end of the SB. He said he
remembered the Philly game where they came back and Vick running it in. See here.

He told his D-Coord he didn't want K running it in at the end of game. He also remembered thats how Piss beat us all those times like with TP sneaking up and past Oher for the sack and the win at the end of the game.

Great coaching in SB but not even his pal Andy Reid could have f*cked up that game
with all the talent Ozzie fed him. HARBs blew that huge lead in the second half and still won.

OT but word out of Dolphins Camp is that Ellerbe is doing well, good for him.

Excuse me? Tarted up?

I sense a little Johnny Cage in Joe Flacco's words.

**wickedsolo** · 07-23-2013, 07:39 PM

I love Flacco's swagger.

Couple of nice plays to Juice (a swing toss?)

Furstenburg makes a couple of REALLY nice catches with guys stuck on him.

FWIW --- spoke with a Ravens media guy at Dick's Sat Night for a few minutes --- I asked who he thinks replaces Q and he mentioned Flacco likes to throw and is getting comfortable with Deonte Thompson ? I assumed T Doss would have the edge but will be interesting to see if Thompson has a head start.

Last season when Sirius XM did there camp tour everyone was raving about Deonte at the Ravens camp.
Flacco especially was very high on him as a rookie and I expect he will get plenty of chances to start this camp. Hell the team tried to get him on the field early last season as a returner.

I think that a combination of Dickson and Thompson should help the loss of Q.
