Next Up: Saints

[1/28/01]

So how are we going to do the second thing then?

Damn you...it was a "Dazed and Confused" quote.

[DomMcRaven]

Unfortunately, I never feel that way when it's......the Ravens + Away games + Primetime television.  That's just not a good mix for some odd reason.  Hopefully, that all changes Monday Night and I am proven very wrong!  I'd love to be!  Go Ravens!

I'm right there with you.

Haha I know, I was just being a smartass. Though I will say running out of beer is a serious issue that should never be joked about.

[PurpleCity5]

Honestly, if they win this game, I think they can win out and grab that #2 seed.

Yeah, I really wonder why we struggle in away games in prime time. I'm really confused by that. Like the team we play usually does good. Why don't we? Is it because we're away and they're home? Hmmm.... I just can't put my finger on it.   It's just so odd that teams do well when we play them in their own stadium...

Hey I like your style but Let's shoot for 10-6/11-5

[frozen joe flacco fan]

Winning out would be like drawing two cards to an inside straight at this point. Forgetta 'bout it! If we beat New Orleans, we will finish at 10-6. If we lose, we will wind up at 9-7. It's that simple. We

are who our record says we are. A 12-4 or 11-5 record for this team is a pipe dream at this point.

[TDubbs]

Honestly think we will destroy the Saints on MNF. We've had a week off on a pretty late bye week, thats huge for our players health. We'll be heading into a Dome game with fresh legs. The Saints are hurting, and lost one of their top WR's in Cooks. Also expecting a huuuge game from Smith Sr, just a feeling.  

 

That O-Line is not playing very well and I know we can get pressure on them. Mosley vs. Graham in some pass coverage with Safety help is going to be a big factor in this one. That is if he is lining up at TE, but we have to be worried if he flexes out to WR. But don't sleep on Colston either ...

 

Looking ahead the schedule really favours us. The Chargers visit us in the cold, they are not adept to it. Phins, Jags, Texans and Browns .. If we take care of NO we can make a real push.

Unbelievable!  This place at times man!  Smh!  But I love it!

We know how well we perform on the road and on prime time. This game will be an easy win...

[Neal Could Block the SUN!!]

Are we facing Pierre Thomas or Khiry Robinson?

Just reading about the Saints letting Brian Leonard go. Which is the better option against our D?

Robinson probably won't be much of a factor. Ingram is the lead back and Thomas is typically the passing down back.

I don't know that either is playing, but with how much Ingram has been shouldering the load, it probably won't matter much. Thomas would be in for third downs and maybe run a few times, but Ingram is definitely the one to worry about

Love the sarcasm here but my post you quoted had a cryptic meaning not related to yours.

[JoeyFlex5]

And hopefully we're there to do 2 things; kick some <butt> and drink some beers. And looks like we're almost outta beer.

well theres our first problem..

[Dewy101]

Its odd that Flacco has only thrown out of play action only 18.4% of the time the lowest mark out of all QBs that have started all their games.

I knew he was bad, but really?

Yea that's why I posted it.. Still surprised me

[GrimCoconut]

His play dropped off quick, too. Those injuries truly did mount up. It's a shame because he was so talented and it looked like we had the next big thing with Jimmy and him. Hopefully Jimmy recovers just fine. I'm optimistic on him since this is his first major injury.

Speaks more of the fact that small guy with a crooked back was better option than healthy guys who were on the roster.

I'm not surprised. I'd like to see his % for last year.  Wouldn't doubt that he was at the least in the top 10.

Yeah, this is a mistake, especially considering we actually have a pretty solid ground game. We should certainly utilize this more often.

[52520Andrew]

Yeah Webb has had his struggles since that second ACL

[BigMike]

Joe's my QB! We will win. That is all...

[Bmoreazfan]

I sure hope I'm wrong but this home losing streak for NO has got to end soon. Monday night in New Orleans staring Drew Brees winless against the Ravens... Every time I say we have no chance we show up and play big so I'll stick with the prediction that we get embarrassed on prime time again this year in hope of being proved wrong

[Underdogsontop!]

I really hope D. Stewart don't play much, he sucks. I would rather see Will Hill or Terannce Brooks at FS.

How about Hill at FS and Brooks at SS.. Elam in the blitz packages..sounds good.

Yes, that sounds better. D. Stewart is an average SS at best. Not enough range and speed for FS from what I've seen. Hill or Brooks will get a pick on MNF! Also hope Levine and Webb can play good!

[rmcjacket23]

How about Hill at FS and Brooks at SS.. Elam in the blitz packages..sounds good.

For what its worth... Will Hill has played 87% and 95% of the snaps at FS in the last two weeks respectively, so I think its safe to say he's pretty much locked down the FS spot.

 

You'll probably continue to see a rotation of players at SS, mostly between Stewart and Brooks likely.

 

I do find it amusing that they still announced Elam and Stewart as the starters against Tennesee, yet Will Hill played 95% of the defensive snaps.
