Actually if you read all the negativity in the game thread before you watch it, you'll be more impressed with the Ravens.

Woooo, game #2!

[theFRANCHISE]

Should be a fun game. No expectations for this one. I'd just like to see the starters work off a little bit of that rust.

Really looking forward to the backups again, especially Bobby Rainey and Omar Brown.

[1/28/01]

More Rainey, progression with the hip from Williams, first team to get a TD or two and then GET OFF THE FIELD AND STAY HEALTHY!!!

Omar comin'!!!

Bobby Rainey is making a very strong case to make this team... and I think that he will.

Time is going sooo slowwww

[cursona pirate]

[PuRock]

The Rain Train is going express tonight.

[ravensdfan]

I like Rainey so far. Want to see him do well again tonight.

Was also impressed with Deonte Thompson (man I hope I spelled that right.) *glances around for spelling police*

I do want to see the starters look less rusty, however, pre-season for me is more about seeing the new guys perform.

It should be interesting since we are facing an even more pass happy team that last week. We'll see how well they can air it out on us.

68 mins..... Beer no.1

[ravens__]

The Smiths are active! Nice.

[PuRock]

So is Pierce. Looking forward to his 'elite balance'.

[BigMike]

Man, I sure hope the offense and defense comes up a little stronger tonight. Sure would do my mindset some good.

Let's go boys!!

[Ngata92NT]

If Jimmy can play tonight, line him up with Calvin for a few plays (with plenty of help over top of course). Ever since he was drafted I've been hoping he could develop into the kind of player who can match up with a guy like Calvin or Fitz. The physical tools are there now he needs to show the awareness and technique. I don't expect this to happen but I'd love to see it, even if Calvin does beat him. Jimmy needs to know that we expect greatness from him.

[hawkprey]

As far as depth, I want to see:

Harewood, Cornell, Boren
Laquan, Doss, Payne
Nigel Carr, Chavis Williams, Kindle, Upshaw
The Jimmy!, Ajax
Tyson, Hall
And see if Omar Brown can keep the turnover machine going.

Watching nfl network right now and all they r talking about is the fins.....we get no respect

Seriously? You think we get less respect than the Fins? They're the laughing stock of the league right now. Trust me, media attention causes more problems than benefits. Just ask the Jets. Or for that matter, the Dolphins.
