Did you see the way Bronco’s tight-end Scheffler exploded against the Whale Vaginas whenever a safety was forced to cover him? I hope there’s some scheming going on in Owings Mills to make sure our safety is a lot stronger than he’s been these past few weeks…

Only the Offense can save the season. Don’t expect must help from the D. The days of the “Best D ever” are over.

Week 6 Wrap up…Tell me what you think

http://tightend.blogspot.com/2009/10/week-6.html

It was a play on words from our “strong safety” being so far out of position. I would never question a professional football player’s manhood seeing as I don’t even bench the bar (my drink would spill). I did it again. Sorry.

it’s like watching a movie just once for a film class. you watch it again and on the second time you notice things you missed earlier.

Like I was too hard on Foxworth and not hard enough on Fabian. Foxworth did get exposed vs. cincy but really only on long plays. When the plays were short enough (in terms of time) foxworth is a serviceable cover corner. But Fabian these last two weeks has jumped out at me on second viewings. He gave up a lot of quick short routes against cincy and let’s just say against Minnesota, they didn’t bench him without reason. He was backing so far off WRs you would’ve thought he’d taken the over bet on Sidney Rice’s receiving yards.

it’s PASS RUSH PASS RUSH PASS RUSH.

that needs to improve over the bye week and we need to give WRs less time to beat our CBs. While our CBs do need work, they aren’t worse than a lot of other duos in the league who’ve given up much less yardage, with the reason being that the QB has to throw sooner and doesn’t have as much time to let his routes develop.

If our pass rush comes out against Denver and looks even 50% better than it has, it will screw up their gameplan royally because they’ll be watching tape of a team that gives up 5 or 6 seconds before a QB has to worry about getting hit. If that happens, it changes all the routes Denver will want to run against us because they’ll need to adjust to routes that develop much sooner.

Problem is this: i saw the stat of the Broncos second-half performance in games. It would seem as though McDaniels is quite the student of his opposing coaches, as his team has outscored opponents by some absurd margin in the second half. I don’t have the number off-hand but Dilfer was harping on it the other day on SC and it was an impressive difference.

The best thing for us is that the bye week has to help a team on a 3-game skid more than it can help a team on a 6-game winning streak.

both the speedy type (Royal) and the bigger WR’s (Marshall) have torn us up.

glad u are a denver fan but i am a yankees fan

They should be – I mean, come on… BOLLER!! LOL

I completely forgot both professional sports franchises in Baltimore were originally named “Browns” while in other cities.

And no, St Louis is quite happy with the older of the two St Louis baseball teams.

so while he’s not especially agile, once he gets his momentum going he can actually eat up yards at a surprising pace. What is more important though is that he’s vastly improved his pocket movement since the Pats game. I was on him for that, but against Minny he was much better at feeling that blindside rush and stepping up to buy that extra second in the pocket.

I was telling people before this year not to be surprised if Orton went out there and had a good year. he was serviceable at Chicago with an extremely questionable WR corps, and now he’s in Denver with a much better O-Line and a beastly WR group. Not to mention he’s been much better at changing ball speed and such, as trent dilfer was showing me the other day.

I think the obvious mismatch is going to be our anemic pass rush vs. your O-Line, and your receivers vs our CBs. Marshall’s size is especially worrisome and we’ll probably need to bracket him.

What you guys should look out for is Ray Rice, who might be the most dangerous man when the ball is in his hands who you’ve played thus far. Without him, Cincy and Minny win by much larger margins.

 to make the playoffs and hope for a SD collapse, or the opposite that happened last year.

he’s been having a great year.

Get YOUR facts straight. Orton has played really good and your team has done great, but win here in a tough environment and we’ll give3 you your props and respect. Until then, we think we’re better than our 3-3 record and plan on beating you next week.

We are undefeated right now, however this game will not be a cakewalk. Flacco is playing with poise. He never gets flustered. If we don’t get him to the ground with the blitz, he is going to pick apart our team like Brady did in the first half of the patriots game.

I do like our chances on the defensive side, but Ray Rice and Flacco scare me.

On offense (ravens defense), I’m pretty worried. The only reason that the ravens have been dismal statistically on defense is because of big plays. Adrian Peterson had a bunch of yards, but if you take away his runs of 20+, he averaged about 2 yards per carry.

The broncos have not had a lot of big plays. We have had a few short passes that turned into long YAC and a few run plays with Buck breaking free, but for the most part, we have relied on consistent yardage pickups and 3rd down conversions to keep the offense on schedule.

I do not think that the ravens are going to give up a lot of third down conversions.

This will be a tough football game for both teams. The winner will certainly have earned it.

Fair assessment and I’ll pass this on to the Ravens. Do you think the Broncos would still have won w/o Royal’s success at returning those kicks? The score would have been a lot closer without those TD’s but what makes you think you would have pulled it out w/o the Special Teams’ play?

-in your dreams
(whatever that means)

you on centsports?

When it comes to the Ravens their are certain teams we can beat and certain teams we can’t. Take for instance we the Titans and Texans just an example and of course we know we will beat the Raiders. Then there is the Dolphins just to name a few and on a good day we can beat the Steelers too.

…but we travel well. I don’t know the series record between our two teams, but is it really relevant? The 2009-2010 Broncos are a whole new animal…the likes of which your Ravens have NEVER seen. Lets start a new series record between the Broncos and Ravens…and we’ll even take the road game first.

DENVER BRONCOS: 20
BALTIMORE RAVENS: 13

BOOK IT!!!

There are these huge mountains that block the view of the horizon. Then there’ s all kinds of snow and then the sun comes out for days and days and can make you go snow blind. My house is miles from the nearest town. Rabbits and deer and the occassional antelope get into the garden and the coyotes can keep you awake at night. In the nearby town we have bears (not the ones from Chicago) wandering around town and getting into the trash.

I tell you it’s just awful.

and he said “how bad could Iraq have been if it only took 2 weeks to take over the entire country.” He then said, “you couldn’t take over Baltimore in two weeks!”

North Ave is gutter but my boys live down by Aisquith (near the BP station, u KNOW?) and while I wouldn’t pick any fights with the locals, it’s not the worst place in B-More I’ve been to. I’d say the intersection of Edmondson and Athol was maybe the most tension I’ve ever felt in the air—and I’ll never forget being a kid and working for Habitat for Humanity on Fulton Ave where we had to wear thick gloves to pick up trash. We’d find needles, shell casings, used condoms, broken glass from God-knows-what, and so on…

but I’d bet that Flacco throws for 300+ and Ray Rice has 150+ yards from scrimmage.
