Last year every Ravens fan marveled at the innovative plays and sets from the Ravens. Finaaly after all of the Billick years, the team was interesting to watch on offense. Using a 3 back offense, finding ways to get Troy Smith involved, etc. And the this year after the Charger game —poof–it all vanished into a Ray Rice dominated offense. Why? Cam Cameron has lost his genius moniker for the time being.
This is one simple headline the Sunpapers nailed on the head. We can talk til we are purple in the face about the QB roughing calls, the bad spot before the Patriots field goal, the fumble on the opening kickoff, etc but it all came down to a dropped pass from Mark Clayton that was right between the 8 and … Read More »
Some observations on Sunday’s great victory:
There are obviously some secondary problems on this team or Phil Rivers just was incredible.
Hauschka’s kickoffs are superb.
Is it me or is Willis outplaying Ray Rice?
How in the world could Mark Clayton drop that pass in the 4th quarter.
On McGahee’s 2nd TD run Jared Gaither flattened his man like a pancake.
Look out for the Jets–Rex Ryan has really motivated that team.
Flacco was great—-again!!!

It looks much like the prospects for an extremely powerful Ravens team this year are surfacing. You could also see this 3 years ago to a degree with McNair and Co. , culminating with the 13/3 record. . That season of course was marred by the overly conservative game plan of the Billick offense in the semifinal conference game against Indy. You have to be impressed by what we see so far even though the preseason is a ridiculous joke … Read More »
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 »
I said it on Pressbozx live on saturday morning, that without Derrick Mason the ravens hopes for 2009 were damaged. But then midday came the report that #85 was back. Welcome back!!!
This is no knock at the Ravens other receivers, but in my opinion they will go nowhere without Derrick. Everyone is jumping on theis a sure handed receiver something edd Drew Bennett bandwagon but he is not the Answer. DERRICK MASON Must Be SIGNED!
They are coming in one at a time —Every almost finished receiver in the NFL. We have the right guy and Coach John Harbaugh needs to bring Derrick Mason into the Raven family
