What is the value of letting the starters play more than 2 sets of downs???? Flacco was close to getting his leg broken or hurt in some fashion. He took some hits for sure. What happens if Mason gets his shoulder hurt on one dive he makes ? I know Harbaugh is the tough guy approach with lots of camp hitting, but there comes a time when common sense combined with risk analysis should take over. I have seen neither … Read More »
Last night proved to me why I hate exhibition football. Some points about the game:
There has been a big upgrade in fireworks disply during the pre-game.
The starting defense so overmatched the Jets , it was a joke.
Flacco picked apart the Jets repeatedly.
Great Statue of Liberty play to get a TD for Ray Rice. How in the worls did we get Ray Rice so late in the draft?
The 1st quarter was awesome –the rest of the … Read More »
Rex Ryan and his rookie QB phenom, Mark Sanchez, journey into the Raven’s home tonight for the 2nd and final home pre-season game for the Ravens tonight. It’s exhibition football so we will just watch and learn. The highlight of the game tonight should be the into of the Ravens’ defense and thus Ray’s first dance of the year.
It was like Terrapin Home Day at M&T Bank Stadium last night as Kevin Barnes, Scott Burley, Stephon Heyer, Edwin Williams, Jared Gaither, and Dominique Foxworth all saw action in the game.

Snoop put out some good luck kharma in Westminster yesterday as he visited the Ravens camp. Check out his video in the Sun.
