Ravens Edge Out Browns 24-17

PrintThe Ravens looked like a new team today. Flacco had a sense of confidence which allowed him to throw a record-tying 3 TDs to Anquan Boldin. If our offense plays like this the rest of the year, we will be fine. The only thing that looked bad today, was Cam Camerons play calling. He abandoned the running game. We have a great "3-headed running-back monster" he just doesn't utilize it enough. Overall, it was a good offensive game.
Our Defense, on the other hand, looked rather sluggish and were the main reason why Flacco had to step up for most of the game. They allowed a 100+ yard rusher, which is blasphemy for our defense. One of the only signs of life by our defense was our surprisingly tough pass coverage, which shut-down Josh Cribbs. On the up-side, the defense came to life in the 4th quarter, which allowed us to maintain our 7 point lead, and eventually win the game.
Next week we travel to Pittsburgh to take on the 3-0 Steelers. What we need to do to take control of our division is to A.) run the ball, and don't give up on it if it doesn't work at first. B.) Spread the ball to all of the WRs. Boldin will probably be eaten up by Polomalu, so Flacco needs to target Mason, Houshmanzadeh, and Heap. C.) Play a tough defense. Even though Ben is out, we need to not underestimate the Steeler's running game, and hold them to 10-17 points. A good win by the Ravens, but now we con focus on the important game. Lets go Ravens!!!

Good job Ravens
Way to show what our offense can look like on all 4 cylinders
The Orioles are going to open a can of Buck-Wieser on your ass......
I kno my man cody better be playing next week. Mendenhall has been a beast on the ground this year.
Funny thing is after this week we may be the top rated pass defense in the league. Battling Charlie batch next and then going into the bye week, then guess what reed is back. We need this win next week though. Flacco better take this momentum into pitts. It won’t be easy but I expect a heavy dose of the dragon next week.

Housh has 31 yards for the season in 3 games
still expecting big things from him?

1) bryant was never a raven
2) since you avoided the question, would appear the answer is no.

Yes we did
beat the Browns…something your Steelers failed miserably at in Week 14 last year. Congratulations on beating up on 3 teams that didn’t go to the playoffs, you will play a real team next week, and then you can nurse Charlies wounds after we destroy you.

Real team?
You barely beat the Jets and were in contention until the end with the BROWNS. I would not be talking so much if I were you. You’re offense looks no where near ready to play our D.
We have beaten 2 very good teams and roflstomped the other.
Last year was just that. Last year.
See you on Sunday :) Feel free to pop by BTSC after the game.

This is going to be a bruiser. But it won’t be won by offense. As it looks, the Steelers seem more likely to capitalize against your offense.

I saw a lot of things I didn't like...
Derrick Mason acting like a complete fool tossing the ball…Not only was it a penalty, these seems to be a continued issue with him.
Hillis looked like a hall of famer against our D. Complain all you want about Cam, but who in their right mind goes long on a 3rd and 2, with the game in the balance, with a Running Back that has been getting fantastic penetration all game. Right there, the Browns handed us the victory. I’m not saying he gets the first automatically, but to me, that is the point they accepted the loss.
Now I got to give some love…
How bout that kick off and punt coverage?!? Sam Koch is the baddest man on the planet and the entire special teams deserves accolades for removing Josh Cribbs from the equation. Billy Cundiff looked like a beast on kickoffs.

Mason
Mason appears to be a Diva on the down low. When he does not get his way he acts less kind of silly. I don’t care for it at all. Hope these antics don’t continue.
The guy is 36. He is what he is. This isn’t the first time he’s lost his cool. It bothers me too.

Facts of the case:
Took a girl into a bathroom with his bodyguards outside to prevent anyone else form coming in.
Not I have no proof—and like the prosecutor I might have been forced to drop my case—but I’m not sure I believe that he took her back there to talk about her feelings.

DERP!
He took her back there to have consensual sex, which her jealous little friends didn’t like, so they filed the complaint, and convinced her to talk to the police.
Wow. I wish we could all just get over the Murderin’ Ray and Rapin’ Ben shit. Well, at least for two (or three) weeks this season.

Your reply to me seemed a bit serious. Im not singling anyone out with that statement though, i just dont want some silly comment to turn into a gigantic flame war. Even some of the Steeler fans can be that way. “Dont even joke about it, its not funny” and so forth. I believe in being able to laugh at this stuff, especially since to anyone who actually researched all the facts of the case once they were released, its pretty obvious nothing happened. Ben was just being Big Dumb Ben and put himself in a ridiculous situation. Same with “Murderin” Ray Lewis. (joking) Its obvious to anyone who WANTS to find out the facts Ray was completely innocent.
The guy down there took it pretty seriously though lol. He’s completely devoid of humor….

Well I’m not going to get up in arms about a few “your HOF Linebacker is a Murderer” jokes. In that same vein, Steelers fans should be prepared for a great many years of rapist accusations about Ben because this ain’t going to go away as far as rivalries are concerned. But I’m not taking it personally.
Ray wasn’t completely innocent. he took the obstruction charge because he clearly didn’t speak up when he knew who the killer was.

It’s infuriating, if you get infuriated by idiots. To me, the shit they post over there is far more embarrassing to them and their reputation then anything I could say back to them.

Troy is afraid of ben in the shower..I love a dude that sits behind a computer and talks smack like you have anything to do with anything.As for gentle ben,the only real QB you ever had said he would have gotten rid of him and thats where your titles came from and before that you sucked big time for years.I can tolerate a fan that pulls for his team,but when YOU start flapping your jaws and being disrespectful,thats another story all together.If your disrespectful on here,you must be a real asshole in reality…
We sucked big time for years?
What did you guys do until ‘96? Oh wait…You didn’t have a team for 12 years…What’s it like cheering for the old Browns?

the Secondary has been looking good but I love to see a turnover wish ed reed could
come back right now then later
Turnovers helped this team a lot last year
but without them this year, we’ve struggled. I was very disappointed we gave up a TD to Cleveland, much less two of them. I was sure they’d also be limited to FG’s, but nope.

If Landry and/or Zbi finish those drives with picks last week, that game would be very different. You don’t have enough chances to win to be giving away interceptions. Not picking a ball off is almost as bad as throwing a pick, because you’re either giving the other offense the ball or allowing them to keep it once they’ve given it to you.
"Cam, we're not going to have any issues because we're going to be winning."
--Joe Flacco
"Just win baby. Yeah, I stole that."
--Jon Gruden
It would have been much nicer if that was a blowout, but we’ll take a win any way we can get it.
Flacco bounced back, like he’s traditionally done. It’s really absurd to compare him to Kyle Boller. In fact. I’m going to put some numbers out for you all right now.
Season 1 Flacco : TD% 3.3% INT% 2.8% Y/A 6.9 CP% 60%
Season 1 Boller : TD% 3.1% INT% 4.0% Y/A 5.6 CP% 51.8%
Season 2 Flacco : TD% 4.2% INT% 2.4% Y/A 7.2 CP% 63.1%
Season 2 Boller : TD% 2.8% INT% 2.4% Y/A 5.5 CP% 55.6%
So Joe Flacco during his first two seasons was better in every category measured by QB rating than Kyle Boller during his first two seasons. It’s not close. Flacco also improved in every category in his second season. Kyle Boller never had a season where he started any games and had a better QB rating than Joe Flacco’s season 1 rating. There will be more Joe Flacco games like today than like last week.
As for the defense, that is a bit of a concern. We got ripped on the ground. Terrence Cody, get well soon. We were hoping to inject some youth in our defense, but injuries to Kindle and Cody have stopped that feeling. However it’s difficult to be too hard on this defense after their spectacular performances in the first two games of the season. We can hope we’ll see more defensive games like the last two weeks than like this week.
This team is going to get better folks. We have a lot of reasons to expect to improve.
For example, expected improvement by TJ Houshmanzadah, Josh Wilson as they learn the system and Lardarius Webb as he recovers from injury. The hopeful return of Ed Reed and to a lesser extent Terrence Cody (man I wish we had him today). That’s five guys who will be an increasingly important part of this team as the season goes on.
So, I’m a little frustrated but still hopeful for the Ravens season.
This poll is a little confusing.
Are you asking if they can take the momentum into Pittsburgh? Or are you asking if they can still win the AFC North?
I think we still have a good chance to win the AFCN, since 2-1 isn’t far behind 3-0. But I don’t like our chances in Pittsburgh next week, especially with how pass-happy we’ve been. If we get predictable passing, Woodley and Harrison will eat us.

No I know
If you ask me I’d say Steelers 20-10. I don’t like saying it but I think it’s true. Both offenses will get beat up and few points will be scored, but Pittsburgh will win the turnover battle and the offense will capitalize enough to put us away at home.

See, right now I agree w/ jackma
The way we’ve played and the way the Steelers have played make me think that we will not be able to win in Pittsburgh, with or w/o Big Ben. We’ve played just well enough to win and that is not too encouraging. However, if we can just win gmes like this the entire season, then I’ll be thrilled over the course of the season. However, for a game that we should have killed the Browns in, this was not pretty nor impressive IMO. The defense got pushed off the ball over and over. Hillis was a beast today and they should have even used him more. Flacco threw three TDs but Boldin made him look good on a couple of those errant throws. Boldin is amazing but we need to find someone else other than him and Heap all the time.
Thanks for putting up this post for me, as I just returned home from the game. A Browns fans was all amped up in the first quarter, barking and drinking like crzy. From the mid second quarter on, he was passed out in his seat the REST of the game!!!

You are certainly capable of beating us at Pitt
But it will take your best game of the season thus far to do so. You will need to have some semblance of a ground game, because if we know Flacco’s passing, then we will come at him hard.

we’re definitely capable of it. But not if we play like we’ve played so far. They need to all make a decision in Pittsburgh to play up to their full potential as a team.

So far, it has looked that way at times.
It’s not too late for them to gel, but I’m worried we won’t really click completely until after the bye week.
But that should be enough time for Carson Palmer to complete his deconstruction as a QB and prove to the world that he somehow lost his talent. It’s like the “Space Jam” aliens came up and stole his ability from him.

the only stats that matter are the W’s. If a team can get those, ugly or not, it still counts.

Had to wait 3 games
and glad they were all wins… but next week it’s what it’s all about: Steelers vs. Ravens. Oh how I love this match-up and look forward to it every year.
Before all the smack-talk gets rolling this week… I want to take a second to wish both of us an injury-free, “that’s-what-I’m-talkin’-about!!” smashmouth game. Who knows if we’re going to be lucky enough to have a season of football to watch next year (very heavy sigh) so as a fan, I fully intend to make this year all it can be.
There’s no better game to watch than a Steelers/Ravens game. Here We Go STEELERS!

Bolldin impressed, but Cam’s game plan sucked. We need to emphasize the running game to open up the passing game. The Defense definitely had a poor day. We need Cody and Reed on the field. Next week should indicate whether the Ravens are for real.

our run blocking
looks terrible. we need gaither something awful.
Rice averaged a little more than five a carry. No sacks given up. O-line looks fine. Was flacco on the ground sure. But yes cam needs to mix in rice and mcgahee more early on. Flacco starts slow so we do need to run the ball early.
Jackma I can’t agree more. But steelers QB’s have been a little careless throwing the ball so hopefully we can capitalize.

Our defense needs tuning up
Saw the end of the Seahawks and Chargers game. Rivers threw for almost 500 yds and Seattle was still blitzing at the end. The Ravens would have rushed three and given him all the time in the world. We have no creativity on defense any more. You want sacks, you have to blitz. You want interceptions, you have to blitz. You have to put pressure on the QB.
Stat sheet, still two games for the week
Ravens first in yards allowed per game
Ravens second in pass defense
Boldin second in recieving yards

I’m not loving McKinney either but I don’t think Gregg is slacking like they say he is. It was never his gap that got blown up. It seemed to be a lot of—gulp—Suggs’ gaps that were getting blown up, such as on the big run where Zbi got the penalty at the end.
Cody should rotate with Gregg with Redding/Pryce on the left and Ngata on the right. At least that’s what I would expect.

Cody is a nose tackle. You don’t think that is asking to much outside of his physical ability to be on a end. Ngata is the biggest guy on the line right now. I have a good feeling that the combination of ngata and cody will make holes look nonexistent. I’m thinking like this, if I need to pull a tree out the ground I’m not going to use a 1990 Ford pick up when I have a 2011 F350.

Like a lot of us Steeler fans I had this game as our only loss without Ben, but now I expect a win. Should be a good game.
also, I feel sorry for you guys
if you win then everyones gonna be like “well they don’t have Ben yet.”
and if you lose, that really means trouble.
Never...
…feel sorry for the Ravens, Bengirls or Browns…
That’s sacrilegious right there…

its not feeling sorry for their team
its feeling sorry for their fans, in much the same manner you feel sorry for a puppy with 3 legs.
Yeah, Well
When the “Fourth Leg” in the form of Ed Reed returns, we will see who feels sorry for which puppy, err, does this even make sense…
It makes sense if you're refering

Not at All
Ya dance with who brung ya and all that… We win with or without Ed Reed just as you win with or without Troy or Ben or whomever.
All I am saying is that our pass defense has been exceptional so far this year – and for only having three of our legs-! Imagine how good it will be once we get our “fourth leg” back in the form of Ed Reed…

One moment I will take from the Browns game is Dawan Landry standing up Hillis in the open field. As much as our secondary misses Ed right now, it was nice to see the tenacity at work that really defines this team.
As much as Maryland Steelers fans drive me crazy, not much gets me more pumped than seeing them play the Ravens. I dislike most Steelers fans, but met a group of old ladies in Ocean City today who put most sport fans to shame. There are few franchises with more passionate fans. Can’t wait for next week.

the problem today was looking forward to next week....and the play calling and dumb ass penalties
A win is a win…period.We looked good ,we looked bad,but those of us that have faith,know that things will get better,afterall there are 13 regular season games left.Today we had to many stupid penalties,we didn’t run enough and couldn’t stop the run,however give the browns some credit,they brought it and aren’t going to be a push over for anyone as the season goes on,they beat Ben and the steelers last year,they have a bunch of high draft choices…As for the steeler game,if Rice isn’t able to play,expect McClaine to run often and the ball to be spread around even more in the short passing game,TJ will make a difference,so will Dickson in a two TE set.Yes the steelers are good, but there offense isn’t all that even with Ben and I am sure our D will come to play next week,there is NO choice.Every year the two games we have with Pittsburgh are the two best games in the NFL,I agree with a steeler fan on here,I hope neither team suffers drastic injuries,but if the past is any indication….you’d better put a helmet on just watching it from your sofa…
The Steelers Offense isnt all that even with Ben?
I disagree with you on that. Yes this week Charlie Batch (ROFLMAO BTW) lit up the 2-0 Buccs, and this may make Ben look less valuable, but to say the Steelers dont have a good offense with Ben? We ranked 5th last year in offense, and i cannot wait until Ben has a chance to play with Mike Wallace this year. They have a good offense with Ben, as weeks 1 and 2 proved we have a bad offense without him. I wont drink the Charlie Batch Kool-aid after this one week fluke
I do agree with you on the Browns though. They have improved, and their record really doesnt show this, but any objective fan who has seen them play has to admit it wont be long before they start putting together 8-8 seasons or better with a couple more solid pieces in place.
The Ravens are a good team, yes Flacco hasn’t looked great, but nevertheless they have a complete team and even a small spark (like beating the Steelers) may be just the thing to ride to an AFC North title. HOWEVER, the Steelers have beaten 3 teams now who are 2-1 with their only losses going to who? You guessed it.

I respectfully disagree...
With your offensive tackles,come on man…You had Wallace last year and Holmes,your a injury away from being in the same position you then….as for who you’ve played versus who we’ve played,no comparison.If you stop Johnson the titans are easy to beat,with the buc’s,come on man,Batch threw 2 int’s had one td for a touchdown that was deflected,your first game was determined basically by a return.It should be a great game no matter,but our short passing game is getting better and you only have one #43,so buckle up,its gonna be a snot knocker!
We had Wallace last year, i know. Wallace also led the league in yards per catch last year. I am looking for him to improve with him being in his second year, and with the speed this guy has it will be really dangerous when Ben returns. Our Oline has sucked for almost 4 years now so no suprise there, but Pouncey has looked good and we havent allowed a ridiculous amount of sacks so far, so it looks improved. And stopping Johnson is the key to beating Tennessee, i dont think many will disagree with you on that, but how many defenses can even do that? It’s no easy task.
PS We also have a couple guys you may know on defense other than 43. Do Harrison, Woodley, Smith and Hampton ring a bell? Also be on the lookout for Timmons, if he plays the way he has the first 3 weeks for the entire year, he will be considered elite no doubt about that!

Will Hampton play? he was out this week IIRC.
Timmons is obviously a difference-maker. He might go to the Pro Bowl this year if he keeps it up.
We can go back and forth about who you’ve heard of on our defense, etc. We all know each other’s teams quite well. We’re both missing key players. You’re missing Ben, we’re missing Ed. Blah blah blah. Bottom line is that the team that cuts down on their own turnovers and capitalizes on the other team’s mistakes will win. Batch can’t afford to throw two INTs to us, just like Flacco can’t come out there and let Woodley put the Sean Ellis treatment on him on the first play.
At this point, I’d say advantage Steelers because they have been playing better football recently and they have nothing to lose. But you can’t discount the importance of having a guy like Batch back there who might screw things up, and you can’t discount the possibility that the Ravens come out and play the football that we’ve been waiting for them to play. Anything can happen.

Undoubtedly the Browns aren’t as bad as many expected. They are 3-0, but have already played 2 games at home. We’ve had two games away against extremely tough opponents on the road. We just beat the Jets, but they only just beat the Falcons at Heinz Field … what was their excuse?
We will clearly go to Heinz Field with an extremely focused game plan. We might have Gaither back, which will help the Offensive Line. Gregg and Cody will be a useful tandem at NT.
At DE, Pryce has not been starting and I haven’t thought Redding has been that impressive. I’d like to see Arthur Jones at some point during the season as he carried at 2nd round grade going into the draft until he slid.
I certainly want to see how many penalties Flozell Adams will give up trying to handle Suggs

Really enjoyed
the “create a caption” series. Would you mind if I used that idea for some Fanposts at BTSC?

That didn’t originate here. James Walker has been doing something similar off and on for a while on his AFC North blog. I’m sure it’s been done elsewhere for as long as the Internetz has supported embedded images.
Water covers 2/3 of the Earth's surface. Ed Reed covers the rest.
Not at all. Feel free to use it at BTSC. It brings a lot of fun to a blog that gets boring and too serious after a while, and gives everybody a little smile now and then.

Thank you
Being division rivals and all, wouldn’t want to use that idea, if you had a problem with it.
Coming up with a subject shouldn’t be too hard this week…
Again, thanks.

No prooblem, it’s really easy to do. Just pick a random picture and use it. and then copy and paste the rules below it.

Ravens fans make me laugh
The Browns aren’t as bad as expected? LOL! You must have Cleveland on the brain.
We “only just” beat the Falcons? You mean those same Falcons who hung a LEAGUE HIGH 41 points on the Niners the very next week, and then laid 27 points on the defending world champs. We “only just” beat those Falcons by a point more than the Bengals beat you guys.
After today, there will only be 3 undefeated teams in the NFL: Packers/Bears, Chiefs, and I can’t remember who the only other 3-0 team is…Maybe you can help me out…
I don’t think you really care, but there wasn’t a single penalty on the Steelers offense yesterday. Is that the only way you can hope for a win, penalties? LOL!
You can come into Heinz field focused. I hope you do. These two games are the only real pure football still played in the No Fun League. Just don’t be surprised if Batch lights you guys up for 200+ yards and 3 TD’s. Tampa’s pass D is a lot better than yours, so…yeah…Well, maybe not a LOT better, but it is still better.

surprised...
Don’t be surprised if Batch gets knocked the hell out!!! Flozell Adams and Colon with No penalties,amazing,it won’t happen twice,they will be holding to slow us down…200 + yards and 3 td’s for Batch,come on dude your off your medication. You played the falcons outdoors,which has always been a problem for them,the titans D isn’t what it was,if you stop Johnson you win and the Buc’s…please come up with a more realistic scenario then that ,like Troy is going to intercept 9 passes and return them all for td’s and you win 63-0…I hope when you lose you come back on here,I know you will if you win,thats typical for Pitt fans…
Obvious troll is obvious
Not sure how closely you’re paying attention to the Steelers this year…
Flozell came in from the Cowgirls to REPLACE Willie Colon, who is out for the season with a torn Achilles tendon. Fail.
dude your off your medication.
Then
I know you will if you win,thats typical for Pitt fans…
And further up the page we get this gem…
If your disrespectful on here,you must be a real asshole in reality…
Keep it up, sweetie. You’re a REAL fan of the game…LOL!

your to funny...
I bet you this..you wouldn’t talk that garbage face to face…the next time your in Ocean City let me know,since NOBODY would go to pittsburgh on vacation,we can discuss it then…if it wasn’t for the steelers,you’d all be married to your relatives,oh,you probably are!
LOL
You can’t even insult people properly. Aren’t you supposed to be in school right now? Be careful, or I’ll call the truant officer in Ocean City…
I came here to talk football, and discuss the greatest rivalry in professional sports. Continue to only hurl what you think are insults, and I’ll be done with your stupid ass.

Hey I have read your rants...
If I am not mistaken this is a raven site,maybe your color blind.As for high school,they don’t have truant officers anymore,maybe your education is limited to steeler football only.I played college football with Art Shell son and several other notable NFL players,was a friend of the late steeler great Mike Webster.I played the game not talked one.I could care less about you or your team,as I stated,this is a ravens site.The insults are directed at you and I can back them up with words and deeds.If you weren’t 3-0 you wouldn’t even be on here and thats a fact we both know as true.What either us says has no bearing on the outcome on Sunday,it would seem to me that your time would be better spent on your own site,but obviously it’s not your intention….
Are you seriously making physical threats over the internet?
There’s nothing more pathetic than an interwebs tough guy.
Congratulations, you are officially more of a douche than 99% of Browns fans. Well done.
Yes, I am over here on the Ravens site. If you don’t remember, our two teams are playing this upcoming Sunday. Derp.
Stay classy, Ocean City.

Hmmm
Tampa’s pass D is a lot better than yours
Not sure what league you are watching. Our pass defense has been exceptional so far this year, especially given a) no Reed and b) our surprisingly sparse pass rush…
And then I said
Well, maybe not a LOT better, but it is still better.
Way to only key in on the things you want, and not everything being said.

Actually
I still disagree. I do not believe Tampa’s pass defense is better than ours (a lot, little or otherwise), period, right now, today, and certainly will not be better when we get Reed back.
We have generated zippy pass rush so far this season. Our two sacks yesterday were I believe both chasing Wallace out of bounds – not exactly Scott-on-Ben bone crushing hey commish, re-write the rule book to protect our QB… – not exactly instilling the fear of G-d in opposing offenses. Yet with that pathetic limp noodle like performance so far, I think we are giving up low-100’s in passing yards- not too shabby.
And further evidence of our pass rushing woes: last week against the “fleet footed” Palmer, Pryce had a sack by basically tying Palmer’s shoelaces together and Suggs has been effectively neutered by the refs by being penalized on a perfectly legal hit on Palmer.
Okay, I'll give on the subject
They were better with Tyvon Jackson, or whatever the hell his name is. That safety that just got suspended for the year.
Russ Grimm’s little boy didn’t do terrible, but he did have awfully bad “ball awareness”, and got burned quite a few times.
I found this quite amusing: Earlier this year, when Ben was handed his suspension, someone asked a Ravens fan how the team would do without Reed. They said “We’ll be just fine. A lot better than YOU guys will be without Ben!” The response to that statement was “So, what you’re saying is Ben is a bigger part of our team than Reed is of yours?” The, answer was “NO!”
LOL @ the logic of some Ravens fans…

Tenard Jackson
yeah I saw some blurb about that but i never checked it out. What did he do this time?
"Cam, we're not going to have any issues because we're going to be winning."
--Joe Flacco
"Just win baby. Yeah, I stole that."
--Jon Gruden
I'm fairly sure
it’s a PEDs suspension, since it’s for an entire year.
However, there were a few guys over on the TB site that were saying things like “Stop smoking pot, Tenard!”. I just don’t think I’ve ever heard of a full year (not season) suspension for pissing dirty on a UA for weed…

We’re from cities. Cities have lots of people, many of whom will be idiots and act like idiots. It’s pretty easy to isolate what one person said and say “wow, can you believe Ravens fans?” I’m sure I could find you a Steelers fan who would say some pretty stupid stuff too. Same goes for Kansas City, Jacksonville, New York, anywhere.

Yes I know
That’s exactly why I said “some” Ravens fans.

We just beat the Jets, but they only just beat the Falcons at Heinz Field … what was their excuse?
The Falcons are obviously a pretty good team dude. Did you see them yesterday? I think that’s the Steelers’ best win so far.

7 turnovers in Tennessee
was my personal favorite. Brutal defense.
When the tailgate drops, the BS stops. Shut up and play!
Gaither isn’t going to be back for a little while. Sounds like he’s more hurt than they thought. I don’t expect him next week.
Redding is okay, but it’s not Arthur Jones’ time yet.
By the way, WTF is up with Ngata playing the Left End spot in our 4-down-lineman sets? Is that retarded or what?

Dude, if Haloti lost about 50 pounds
he would be a pass rushing terror on the level of Jared Allen and Dwight Freeney.
I can see the reasoning for lining him up at end, he’s strong and quick, just not terribly fast, and if they see a run/stretch play going to either side…

He is a monster in pursuit, so he can work there. But to me it just seems so obvious that he should be on the inside.
Any time there was Gregg and Ngata on one side and Regging and Suggs on the other, they ran to the Redding/Suggs side, with some considerable success.

Browns blind side..
Has 3 first round drafts choice at guard,center & tackle and Thomas is as good a left tackle as there is in the game.With the big back running game they have found,they are going to cause alot of teams problems down the road,remember they won 4 in a row to end the season.They will beat Cincy…
God, that would be hillarious!
They will beat Cincy…
