Apparantly the experts have concluded that the majority of the passing plays and play action go to the right side. Hopefully we can prove them wrong.

His numbers are significantly better to the right for some reason.

I thought that was wierd. Joe can throw to the left on short/middle passes really good. Interesting though how much better he does on the right.

Being a south-paw I always found it much more comfortable throwing to my left. Didn't think other QBs were the same, though.

That's because usually we have Torrey streaking down the right side. I too would favor that side deep.
Either way, I've seen Joe make some fantastic throws to the left side throughout the past five years. Not really something I worry about. Especially before one last game.

Don't most right-handed QBs throw more to their right?
Joe usually just picks on a CB. Not a side.

Virtually all, however the discrepancy is greater with flacco. However part of the reason is because Torrey is always lined up right, and he's our best deep threat. It's not as bad as say, Sanchez, who mechanically has huge problems throwing left.Don't most right-handed QBs throw more to their right?

It's typically Boldin that is streaking down the left side.

ESPN has been saying dumb [profanity deleted] about the Ravens all day, most of it without any good reason.* I've taught myself to block out anything that isn't fun to hear.
*Examples: that we can't re-sign Flacco and that we're outright releasing Boldin. They are just full of [profanity deleted].

I gave them a chance this morning. I really did. But when I turn on my TV on Super Bowl Sunday and the first thing I see as a topic of discussion is "Tebow's Future" that's when I know enough is enough.

Throughout the regular season, Joe generally got pushed to his right by the pressure so I'm sure it was easier to spot a receiver on that side. He can throw it clear across and down the field when there's an open guy on the left, though.

I know I shouldn't, but even I can only take just so much of their crap. I've switched back to NFL Network. I enjoyed watching the Superdome testing the Ravens logo lights in the background while some fool was blathering on about something.

I don't know if you know more about this, but is that report accurate? According to Russell Street report we are supposed to be well under the cap.ESPN has been saying dumb [profanity deleted] about the Ravens all day, most of it without any good reason.* I've taught myself to block out anything that isn't fun to hear.
