We need more talented recievers for Joe to throw to so we can just out score them because face it against the more elite teams we just cant hang with them.[/quote]

Clayton and Mason are talented. We need a bigger wr.

do you remember when Bradshaw ran for 76 yard and was tackled by Fabien Washington. Ray Lewis totally messed that up. i guess he knew he didn't have the speed to catch him if he turned the corner on him so he over perused. Still that wasnt his best game.

[Sub-Zero]

he was way too aggressive, trying to make a play in the backfield and it ended up with him being totally out of position with a horrible angle. Good thing Fabian saved the TD, the kid has some serious wheels! (saved us 4 points ) whats that, Darrell Green chasing down Tony Dorsett you say?

That was crazy, I thought he was gone and then Fabian came flying and got him at the 5. I knew Fabian was fast but not that fast.

So, I guess Ray Lewis is human, after all. Who'da thunk it?

I'll still take him on my team. Anyday. And twice on Sunday.

He picked a heck of a time to show it. I am sorry, I love Ray but if you are going to talk smack to the media about what your opponant wont do to you, you better bring your A game to back it up.

[quote name='neepo13' post='91482' date='Nov 16 2008, 04:21 PM']Tackling is only a minor problem at this point. I said last week that our secondary was the 500 pound pink elephant in the room that no one wanted to talk about, I think we need to talk about it now. Our offense needs a big wr and our defense needs to be knocked back down to the earth, hopefully this last one has already been accomplished.[/quote]


Considering how many injuries we have in the secondary, I'm not sure how you can say they "need to be knocked down to earth". I think they're doing the best they have the talent for. And I don't mean any disrespect to any of our D-Backs. NFL.com prior to this game had us @ #2 for Total Defense, a tremendous credit to a defense missing so much of it's frontline talent.

At receiver, we need a guy thats not just big but has the speed necessary to create enough seperation for Flacco to hit the guy in stride. If the separation is there, the size isn't as important. Either that or someone that is a great technical route runner that can also get that seperation.
