Predictions?

[march4superbowl]

WHICH PLAYERS DO YOU THINK ARE GOING TO HAVE BREAKOUT PERFORMANCES?

I think Joe is gonna have 2 TD drives

our defense in the second half is gonna destroy the pats

Ray Rice gonna score!

[RavensIQ]

Here are my players that are gonna stand out:

-Clayton 2 Tds

-Barnes sack

-Dan Cody sack

-Boller

-Nakamura's gonna do something

-Gooden is gonna show he can play in the NFL

-Special Teams (cant wait to see Stills and Ayanbadejo running down the field together)

Also, I think Flacco and Marcus Smith are gonna leave a good impression.

I hope 2 see a few injured guys healthy enough to start like Ngata, Gaither, and gregg (if their ready) i'll keep my fingers crossed

[march4superbowl]

with all the emphasis on the play clocks that were embased in practice and TC it should be fun to watch our offense and how much the tempo has picked up

[b-morebrotha]

Its up to our second string to win this one. were to beat up for our first string D to contain Moss and Brady and wes but our 1st team O will keep us in there against there soft D. There second strind is as good as boller so thats a wash there but Flacco will have to win it for us in the second half w/ Wheelwright jumping for passes in the corner of the end zone.

I cant wait to see our flacco, ray rice, and our rookie safeties. I especially want to see our middle three o-line(marshall yanda, ben grubbs, jason brown) and how they work together. Last year there was an article in sportingnews that was an interview with Samari Rolle. He said the freakiest thing he saw last year was they bet any of the rookies if they could take a taser at the highest power for 5 seconds they would get $500 if they didnt react to the taser. Marshall Yanda was the only one to take the taser for 5 seconds and do nothing but stand up and walk away with a red mark on his body. Hes a freak

My prediction:

The game won't matter and will be forgotten by September.

I just hope we don't have any injuries, I don't care who 'breaks out'.

wow, you sound like a huge fan iv'e been waiting to see how the team looks and the game matters a lot in the evaluation process plus it gets the players primed to make a smooth transition to start the season. By the way, I won't forget this game till at least October.

Ray Rice, 85 rushing yards on 12 carries, 1TD ; 3 catches for 38 yds

Our defense will be DOMINANT the entire game, I am confident our 1st and 2nd stringers will be more than a match for the Pats 1st and 2nd string offenses.

Don't know about the passing game seeing as how all 3 of our QBs have been shaky so far in camp, we'll see though. I'm excited to see how all 3 do, not to mention how our young wideouts do.

Good for you, you must be some kind of elephant.

Anyways, my lack of interest in the outcome of preseason games has nothing to do with being a fan. I've been a Ravens fan as long as I can remember, still get pumped up watching old highlight videos of Ray Lewis, have decorated my room and house with Ravens things, know little tidbits and facts about the Ravens most would let slide through their brains, and watch every single game like it was my religion (which in most cases, it is). I am a HUGE fan.

That being said. The Preseason doesn't really matter. In the '07 preseason, McNair had a 92.6 QB rating. In the preseason, Musa Smith averaged 5.6 yards per carry. In the preseason, Derrick Mason only averaged 8.7 yards per catch. In the preseason, Demetrius Williams averaged 18.8 yards per catch. Now, how many of those trends carried on into our '07 campaign? None?

after watching Colt Brennan light it up in the HOF game, I'm hoping Flacco does just as wel, if not better agianst whatever string he's playing.Also, Nakumura (duh). And Kyle Boller/Troy Smith, depending on whoever is startin, becasue whoever is second or third string will defenitly be running things once the other team's like fifth string comes out, so they will leave a good impression.

[bloodravenforlife]

The key is the second and third string for the first week since the starters probably won't play more than a quarter. My focus is on whoever is second string QB and RB. And the whole second string defense.
