Preseason 1 - Baltimore Ravens vs. San Francisco 49ers

[cobrajet]

Was not a bad half, other than the fumbles and those first drive long runs given up.

[hawkprey]

That incomplete pass somehow moved Gabbert's passer rating up to a 1.7

Lowered the INT rate? Passer rating sucks.

I knew the fans would come around on CJ when they finally got to see him play. MVP of the game so far?

probably. Williams played well as well. I think alot of people's concerns were about his health. I know mine was

[rmw10]

I'm pretty happy overall.  The 2nd team OL looks bad.  Chykie may not know what football is.  The RBs can't fumble the ball.  Those are my only real complaints so far.

[PolishRifle]

if he gets a spot over aiken, butler or camp... 

 

I think the Deonte experiment is coming to an end. 

[The Raven]

I don't think Chykie has looked that bad. His coverage is sound, but the penalties gotta get cut out. 

[Gordo52]

I just want to keep rewatching that first series on offense.

Mine as well, also getting gashed on the outside to start the game

He just looks lost out there.  He doesn't turn and look for the ball at all.  I don't even want interceptions from him at this point.  I just want him to play some fundamentally sound football and he's not doing that right now.

I thought our lineman needs to work a little on pass block. Flacco, with all the footwork talk looked like a statue compare to tyrod. Flacco needs to get used to moving/throwing.

[Ravenskid52752]

I think Ricky Wagner looked really Good out there.

Chykie (Frank Walker) Brown

Ok, now, how about some positive stuff.... They looked sharp.  Love the new offense.  Mosley is a beast, Elam looks good back there...  Pitta, Jones, and The Smiths look great..  And Rice can run again.

That's because Flacco is a QB. Looking to pass the ball while Tyrod is always looking to run. Happy feet are not a good thing.

I really liked what I saw from Joe there. He got ball out fast and to a variety of targets. That passing game will look real good this season.

[Ravenseconbeast]

Chykie (Frank Walker) Brown

Chykie "never look back" Brown

[sflegend89]

Very solid 1st half, couldn't believe my eyes when the starting O could run the ball effectively!

 

- CJ Mosley is the real deal

- Asa looked great in coverage, nice pick, should easily take the #3 cb

- On the flip side of that Chykie looked lost out there (surprise, surprise), we need more cb depth

- Joe & company looked smooth and efficient, really like what we've seen from kubiak's system

- That Pierce fumble call was a joke, looked like indisputable evidence to me, clearly down

- Considering the 49ers are touted as the deepest roster in the NFL the first half was a success

- Find a new occupation Blaine Gabbert, the NFL isn't for you

[Cville-Raven]

Can Gabbert stay in the game?

[ravensdfan]

Yeah, it was beautiful to behold. 

[rmw10]

I only said the negative because there were much less points I wanted to make there.  Last year I had to draw out the positive.  It's been right in front of us this game so far.

[balfan23]

I saw more offensive creativity in play calling in one preseason drive than I saw in any given game called by Cam or Caldwell. Yes its preseason, yes it doesn't count, but I just get a sense that Kubiak is going to get the most of the talent we have on this offense... .

 

Oh, and Ray just looked rejuvenated. 

[The Mom Gene]

I agree...  I'm just happy... and relieved... 

[KnowNoLimits]

Give me Justin Forsett, Lorenzo can go. We already have a big back in Pierce... Forsett can make big plays with the first string.

[Ravenseconbeast]

He just looks lost out there. He doesn't turn and look for the ball at all. I don't even want interceptions from him at this point. I just want him to play some fundamentally sound football and he's not doing that right now.

I agree with you. If he plays like that on reg season, his going to cost us some major TD. And its the SAME thing we saw since his rookie season.

I really hope Asa and Otoyle moves up ahead on depth chart. Chykie just isn't going to work for us.

[Ravenskid52752]

 kurt warner can't read it says 127 yards rushing not 95 wth.

[Cville-Raven]

The young defensive guys look good. Cleats, Mosely, and Williams all made good plays. I'm still waiting to see Jernigan. 

[arnie_uk]

That guy with kurt warner is looking at him like he's been friend zoned

[berad]

Dips on some Mosley / Django comparisons lol. Swear he looked like Jamie Foxx right there

[5aiah]

probably. Williams played well as well. I think alot of people's concerns were about his health. I know mine was

Pretty sure everyone knew how good CJ was going to be early, he's a stud. Just hoping he can stay healthy, on another note at least Arthur Brown is behind him too, so im not worried at all. My favorite moment thus far is definitely Asa's interception, secondary is our biggest question mark right now and he's looking to erase all of that.

[The Mom Gene]

Deonte returning...  not bad there...
