Observations From The Game

[1/28/01]

I just read on NFL.com that Boldin said after the game that he was supposed to break in, not out, on Flaccos pick 6. Is that true? Did anyone hear him say that?

I know stats dont mean everything, but this nice to look at:

I haven't heard him say it, but I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case. Joe threw the ball as if he expected Q to be where Hall was.

As a Lee Evans fan from just about the first time he stepped on the field in college, I would just like to say "Thank You" to the Ravens for finally using Lee as he should be used...or, at least, showing every indication that they will. The years in Buffalo were just too painful to watch.

I expect about 60 catches and around 1100 yards from Lee this year...and I think it is possible that he will lead the Ravens receivers in yards, with Boldin leading the team in catches. Flacco and the Ravens coaches seem to have already figured out what the Bills QBs never did...that you don't wait for Lee to "look open" before you throw...put the ball where he has a chance to get it, away from the defender, and he will beat the defender to the spot.

In the Game Thread I had said Joe was like a kid at Christmas with a new toy. He seems to LOVE being able to air that ball down the field and know that his receiver will get under it. I expect big things from this new tandem. I, too, expect that Evans could well lead the team in yards. He is awesome and a steal for a 4th rd pick IMO.

idk that he said it or not, but i'm sure that he's supposed to curl in for quick yardage. Hall happened to stand where Boldin's route destination was.

yeah...that new rule is taking some of the steam out of Cundiff's kickoffs and making all the kickers look like heroes...I think he had 40 something touchbacks last year under the old rule.

no doubt he is a great kicker
