    Kelvin is a good prospect..but comon..andre Johnson is in that rare class.

     

    I think  we work a lot of 2 tight end sets. My guess is we get a physical big blocker ala CJ in the draft to go along with pitta. We lost a lot of blocking upfield with the departure of boldin. We are a smashmouth team. Expect us to be bigger in every aspect.

    That's why I said "Andre Johnson-type" - referring to his size/speed/hands combo. I am in no way comparing the two. There is no comparison. Just pointing out physical similarities.

    I though Jackman was eh.  All of his lines sort of escalated into yelling.  I couldn't really differentiate between Hugh Jackman and the character.  Now I thought Jake Gyllenhaal was incredible.  He really created the character from the button up shirt to the compulsive blinking.  

     

    It was nice to see the great Roger Deakins get another Oscar nomination for Cinematography.  Nominated 11 times without a win.  It will be tough against Gravity & The Grandmaster but I wouldn't bet against Deakins.

    Fair enough, and I agree re: Gyllenhaal... he was great.

    To tell you the truth, I'm not to concerned about Kubiaks playcalling. Kubiaks system is similar to Shanahan's, Only difference is, Kubiak doesn't run the Pistol Formatiom as much. But Kubiak like to mix in the no huddle a few times a game, unlike Shanahan, who rarely run no huddle...

    Kubiak system still attack defenses from deep to short, to start games like Shanahan. The thing with Kubiak is once he get a 2 score lead, instead of keeping his foot on the pedal for the entire game like Kyle does, Kubiak will switch it up and attack defense from short to deep, while running the ball more, trying to control the clock. He gets real conservative with his play calling (run, run, pass) at times.

    But since we are going to run more short passes and actually play to our guys strengths now, we should start converting more 3rd downs. Kubiak still brings a good playbook with him and he also call plays to set up other plays, especially off of play action, and we all know Joe is arguably the best play action QB in the NFL, so hopefully that would off set his Cam Cameronish type playcalling at times, at least that's what I hope.

    I wouldn't mind seeing the Ravens use the short passing game as an extension of the run game like the Pats and Broncos do. Their offenses are pretty good every year...

    I've never been a huge WWE fan, but even I was disappointed with last night's Royal Rumble, and the fans in Pitt had every right to boo them out of the stadium... badly done, WWE, badly done. No way Batista should've won, and no way Bryan should've been left out of the Rumble. It just doesn't make sense.
