Bart Makes Some Rather Questionable Comments..

[20ravens52]

I just really do not respect Bart Scott too much. He spends so much time talking, and he rarely backs up anything he says. If he'd just shut up and play the game I'd respect him a lot more. He ain't no Ray Lewis.

There is no other Ray Lewis in this league and there never will be. Patrick Willis and Big Beas come close but there will never be another Ray Lewis. So you can say Bart Scott is no Urlacher and it would make more sense.

Winning is what counts; that is why we keep score. This is, however, pre-season so there is a bit of leniency.

The only thing the Jets proved was that they almost had what it took to beat our second and third string guys. Our starters owned them.

Edit:
On Bart Scott's comment, “We don’t have any rearview mirrors in our car,” the coach (Harbaugh) said

I can't say Bart doesnt back up what he says.. He's a hell of a football player and someone I would NOT want coming at me with full force. Everytime he hits someone I swear I feel like they wont get up.

Everything is happy and great in Jet land right now. I promise you by week 8 when they are 2-6 or 3-5, that things won't be as "fun" anymore.

How can Bart be happy about the situation there? We finally have some sort of substantial offense here in Baltimore and he takes off for the Jets who are in the same situation or worse off than we've ever been. They're defense isn't as good and their offense is going to stink!

It's ok Bart. You got your payday so go earn your money. New York is really going to love your big mouth when you guys end up with a losing record. Same goes for your big mouth coach too! It's no wonder the Ravens didn't make Rex Ryan the head coach.

Dude thats irrelevant, when our first team D was against their first team O, we dominated them. Pick 6, and 2 punts. Sanchez complete 1 pass against our first team D with Lewis and Reed on the field, and it was a checkdown on 3 and 12. Our first team O against their first team D should have been 2for3 aganst Rex's D schemes with a touchdown and a FG, but Gano sheet himself. This is a regular season game, its not even close man.

Check this out. I guess he really can't "let go". He's had plenty of time to make changes.

I am also one that was excited when we brought Harbs in. Discipline is something we need after the Billick era. Billick let the veterans run amok.

Rex Ryan bring the Jets to a top 5 Defense? Just like Marvin Lewis did with the Bengals, or Mike Nolan in San Fran? Rex is just another D coordinator to us. Ray Lewis is the core during all of these D Cords.

Injuries have have been prevalent even before Harbaugh. Look at our 5-11 season in 2007.

I agree...and our D will be great, again, this year. Ray makes it all work. But, what the hell our we going to do when Ray is done? What happens when he retires? I guess we will deal with that when the time comes.

[FerrariFan87]

Harbaugh > Ryan which is why we hired him over Rex in the first place! Ryan will be a great HC in this league, but his bravado and personality are better suited for the NY media and spotlight.

Persevere. We have no choice.

When Ray retires Suggs takes over, Reed is more of an enforcer than outright King Leonidas.

I am not by any extend overly knowledgeable about foot ball or what goes on in the locker room. However I do follow two simple concepts. 1. Those with the most opinions, know the least. 2. Professional talk on the field. Rex was great as a defensive coach; he still needs to prove himself as a head coach. As a supervisor in my trade I know the hardest job is the boss you are responsible and accountable for everything, and the victories generally go to your subordinates why you absorbing the defeat.

You're really grasping at straws, man. You basically say anything to degrade both Harbaugh and Flacco, for no reason. They WIN.

[b]Look back at the Jets game and compare the pocket of the Ravens and the Jets.[/b] I don't think the difference is the Oline or Dline personnel but coordination.

Give Flacco or Smith that same pocket they would have looked like Drew Brees. Clemens had a well developed pocket, fortunately our secondary had great coverage.

Compare Ray Rice to Leon Washington's penetration. [b]Leon 6 YPC/ Rice 4.1 YPC[/b] I don't think it is because Washington's running ability is greater than Rice's.

Actually, you are probably not very far off about that first part. We didnt gameplan the Jets. Which means, our coachs were just out there calling plays. They had no strategy or anything. Just calling plays to see how players respond.

The Jets clearly game planned for us. That was obvious with the playcalling and the way they handled Sanchez. If they were just trying to evaluate their QB's, they would have thrown the ball alot more with Sanchez, regardless of how much he struggled. Yet their first play of the game was a run and they really only let him throw in certain situations.

The Ravens won the pre-season game but the Jets won what counted. Jets proved organization on both Offense (minus QB errors) and Defense.
[/quote]

Our starters were up 21-7 at half. Had the starters stayed in we would have blown the starters of the Jets out and it would have been worse if we had actually game planned for them. So, the Ravens proved they are the better team, PERIOD.

What do you guys think? Is he just saving his **&#@$$ or did the media flip his words around? Also, L.J. is really pissing me off with these injuries, he can't seem to get through a single play without tweaking something. I mean, does this guy stretch before games at all or what??

Thought I should note the above article is by Mike Preston.

Exactly it does not matter if you win by 1 or 100 at the end of the day its about who got the L and who got the W.

I can accept what he said. Even if he is just trying to save his butt, it means he realizes that he shouldn't have said that, so I'm okay with that. But I can also believe that he didn't mean it the way some of us took it. I do believe that he was trying to support Rex more than make any of the other Ravens staff look bad, so I can easily change the "more than" to "not".

Bottom line, I'm glad he came back and tried to clarify or backtrack to clean things up.
