NFL Network's Sound FX: Ravens vs. 49ers

By now, many fans of the Baltimore Ravens have already seen the NFL Network Special, Sound FX, on the Thanksgiving Night Football game with the San Francisco 49ers. Players on both teams, as well as coaches and the referees, were all miked up for the game and you can see how the game unfolded from their perspective, with little or no commentary from the announcers.
It's a fascinating view of the game as opposed from what us fans have usually experienced. The perfect players were featured, including Terrell Suggs, Ray Rice, Joe Flacco and head coach John Harbaugh. For the 49ers, they had microphones on QB Alex Smith, ILB Patrick Willis and head coach Jim Harbaugh.
The on-the-field banter between players, trash talking or just joking around during lulls in the action, as well as the sheer sounds of the physicality of the game's hits, puts the fans on the field, along the sidelines and in the huddle like never before. The video is over 44 minutes long, but once you start it, you will find it tough to turn it off until it is over, as it is as enjoyable as the game itself, especially since the Ravens won 16-6.

Leach DESTROYED Willis on that one block early in the game. Not many people can do that to a player like Willis. Man was that a vicious block.
Flacco has to trust his receivers to make catches, but shouldn’t throw towards coverage. He needs to attack deep more often, but shouldn’t hold onto the ball so long. He needs to show more awareness in the pocket and move to extend plays, but nothing good comes of him leaving the pocket. He should run with the ball if nobody’s open, but he definitely can’t run with the ball.
Flacco should have the awareness of Roethlisberger, the elusiveness of Vick, the control of the offense of Manning, the leadership of Brady, the accuracy of Brees, and the arm strength of … Flacco? - Ampallang
Notice how much Rice seemed
to be complaining to Vonta a lot?

Thank You
Very much for posting this. Been trying to find a repeat of that episode and no joy.
Again, thanks!

Joe is a freaking dork
there is no way he can be elite.

Which is every reason why I love him.

Anyone notice the transparent stuff on Ray Rice's elbows?
Is that some sort of plasticized protection they rub on?
Montreal Canadiens///Toronto Blue Jays///Baltimore Ravens
It is a sticky piece of plastic basically that keeps cuts from bleeding and/or ease the pain of rubbing your elbows on that turf play after play.

The sounds of the game confirmed that rice is a big mouth, suggs really doesn’t have anything to say that makes sense, flacco is truely clueless and a left nut (no joe, you’re not getting a mustache following), leach is the leader on O, harbaugh is more of a fan on the sidelines than a coach and loves himself too much, cam is terrible, everything great that happens to a player ray lewis says he’s already predicted it, boldin bites his lip when flacco approaches asking, “you eatin thanksgiving..it will be much better?” yo, get out of my face cracka’.
Unfortunately
I noticed this also:
harbaugh is more of a fan on the sidelines than a coach
Especially in light of him screwing up the TO/challenge. How do you mess that up?
And he kind of dissed Ray-Ray with the comment about forgetting he wasn’t in there… That exchange was kind of bizarre… I know an NFL HC has a lot of variables to keep juggling in the air during a game, but forgetting about your first-ballot Hall of Famer arguably the greatest MLB to ever play…?
Disagree about Flacco he seemed to be dialed in pretty good.
But Rice surprised me at how many mental football mistakes he made. Which makes his physical talents all the more amazing…

Why do you think
he doesn’t override the bad calls that Cam gives Joe.

Not Smart Enough?
Good question; don’t have an answer…

At least we aren’t Eagles fans, raven….

The Best
For me was when Rice was going on and on about the drive, and he said something along the lines of it being a six minute drive (which it wasn’t) and Birk, the Harvard grad, in a very calm, collected manner, correct him and Rice is like “I’m not good with numbers…” ROTFLMAO Birk sounded like a guy a work having a business discussion, not some hyped up athlete ready to rip someone’s head off.

I thought that was pretty funny as well.
In general, I enjoyed the glimpses of the team the program gave me. Unfortunately, the Ravens are often no more than football players to me, rather than people. As such, I completely disregard their interactions, focusing instead on what they need to do to win a football game. Therefore, the focus on their interactions, however small, was particularly enjoyable for me.

It's Great To See
Them bust chops with the refs during breaks. And the ref demanding a water bottle from the training staff on the field during a break -that was kind of bizarre.
