The Good:
Already in mid season form. This guy plays like a Raven. Enough said.
Obvious choice here. He shredded Jacksonville's secondary. He threw all kinds of passes. Slants, nines, short little touch passes. He even used some Peyton Manning like misdirection. I expect big things for Joe this season. They better get that contract done soon.
I truly believe that Torrey will have a Pro Bowl season in 2012 if he stays healthy. You are watching the development of a complete receiver.
Looks like Pollard's play was contagious as Webb, shortly after, started to pick up where he left off last season.
Ray Rice/ Bernard Pierce/Bobby Rainey
Rice: 2 carries 30 yards! Pierce looks like a real player who always seems to get that extra yard every time. Rainey: Play-maker...
Back up receivers:
LaQuan Williams, Tandon Doss, Deonte Thompson, Logan Payne: All looked very good this week.
That 53 yarder would have been good from 73... I heard an interesting fact today. Justin Tucker was tied for second in special teams tackles last year in college with eight, sounds like a Raven to me. Especially when you look at our special teams so far.
And a much needed shout out to Tyrod Taylor who took a lot of heat last week. The dude can play some football.
Neutral Still:
So much potential. He needs to catch the ball more, and better, and more again. Looks like a great return man though... He will probably be the best third receiver the Ravens have ever had.
The Bad:
Special teams:
What are we doing? we signed all theses supposed special teams studs and we are still giving up kickoff returns to the 40 half the time. This is still a top priority. If you get better players and they don't play better you have to look at the coaching.
Billy Bajema: Yes he made a few plays but the guy is no where near Dickson or Pitta talent. He had a hard time getting open. Imagine if we had had the two of them out there???
Is it just me or is it always Wiliams guy that makes the big play on third down or the 26 yard reception out of no where?
For real man? An other false start?! Come on bro, your blocking skills are getting much better but Damn man...
