[BR News]

The veteran receiver had a quiet game in his return, but he also created opportunities for other targets to hit big plays.

Early season, I see SSSr getting a few less balls thrown his way due to teams rolling coverage his way. That will give others opportunities to make things happen and by mid season, that should pull coverage off of SSSr somewhat.

If I'm Flacco, I'm loving all the WR's this year. Gotta definetely work on getting everyone involved. There should always be a target to throw to with this corps and if coverage is tight, then some good timing routes can get the job done.

Triple " S " will always get his respect and so will Wallace sometimes having three WRs makes it crowded down field is why I feel Joe needs to do more pump fakes and the WRs need to do more double moves to get open post, patterns I don't see hardly ever in and outs etc! Jacoby and Torrey paralyzed secondaries because they both got respect and the safety tried watching underneath at Torrey and Jacoby ripped the lid off up top! Triple " S " and Wallace can do the same thing but this mite be the time to go to the TEs more and let Triple " S " and Wallace play decoy! Then when they get confused hit them up big time with our wideouts!

SSS is on the best team he's ever been on, not just football wise but team bonding wise. He understands what the Ravens are about and he feels in his heart he is a thoroughbred Raven through and through. All he cares about at this point is get wins and contend for a championship. He also realizes for that to happen he's got to get a ton of touches each game so it'll keep defenses honest and spring open Breshad, Mike Wallace or Chris Moore for big gains. So, when it starts working seamlessly, this offense will be the 'greatest show on grass'!

He is going to go off against the Clowns. That's just how he does. and I am definitely going to start him this week.

I see the Ravens going wild on the Browns this Sunday. They didn't score enough points but pulled out a win against the Bills. Having Smith double teamed will only open up more chances for Wallace to have a 1000 yard season.

Nice to see him get a couple catches, but there are better options sitting on the Raven bench now. He's not all back, and he surely knows it. Men get real, boys dream.

Steve should get the time of his life in Cleveland. RG3 out up to 10 weeks and Cody Kessler is not ready. If they had McCown, I would worry. With Steve and Wallace I feel 1 TD each. Tuck for 2 FGs
