rather see reid at RT. couldn't have gotten much worse than it was today.

Umm does that remove Oher from the equation? I dunno though about Reid at RT, he has barely played there.

Do you think Harbaugh would bench Oher?

I can't see that happening.

It's hard to separate receivers and QBs. To get a completion you need someone to throw and someone to catch after all. I would say my top3 would be:

1. Flacco to Boldin
2. Paul Kruger
3. Bernard Pierce

The look on Harb's face after Ohers false start, you never know.

I genuinely think we should start Pierce. I just think he's the better runner.

Ray Rice is the better runner but he doesn't fit with our O-line. With the zone blocking scheme the O-line is supposed to not neccisarily beat their guys but spread them out so the runningback can pick a hole. Our O-line doesn't really do that and Pierce is better at yards after contact.

Boldin, Flacco, Pierce, Smith, Kruger and Tucker!

Yeah, that's kind my feeling too. I feel like rice would be better in a more "Man" scheme. Like if he were in Seattle or something.

Ray Lewis, 10 weeks after tearing his tricep, in his last game at the bank, playing with a huge brace, leads the Ravens with 13 tackles in a win over the colts who we've always had trouble against.

*Standing ovation*

The whole McKinnie thing makes sense if you think about it. During the season you always worry about his motivation. But in the playoffs with his window closing, you know he's got motivation.

McKinnie was solid today.

McKinnie was solid because at that point we were playing intentionally slowly and pretty much just running the ball.

[tsizzle95]

jacoby jones had a prettty good day too!

[RavensAllTheWay]

My hat is off to McKinnie. I didn't even know he was in the lineup until the game started, but he was great out there.

[redrum52]

Caldwell should be added. Called a very good game. Nice ratio and calls plays at the right time. Stays patient and seems to know when to adjust. Also uses the personnel to the teams advantage. The front 7 as a whole played very well to me.

[Fang]

It was a great team effort. But if I had to pick one player Ellerbe was the MVP. He was all over the place and ran side line to sideline. McKinnie gets a serious honorable mention though.

[ratedr]

I agree on Caldwell, great adjustments at the half to get Boldin more involved.

reminded me of the cardinals game. just took over the 2nd half.
[/quote]
I thought the same thing.

Ed Reed played well and I give credit to the coaches. Harbs changed the o-line and played McKinnie and put Ray in for the last play. Great moves there. Pees made one mistake in getting soft on that third and 26, but he seemed to learn from it and after that he dialed up the pressure the rest of the game. Caldwell stuck with the run and Pierce had a great game and I really appreciated that he let Vonta take it in for the score, as he deserved it!

Caldwell doesn't leave me scratching my head like Cam did. Always a good mix at the right time.

The only play I really hated today was the 3rd and goal early in the game. No Crosses or slants. He goes with the outs (which Joe threw a pick against Denver) and a TE running straight through the back of the endzone. The options were weak.
