I refuse to watch pre game, too much Americas team

I meant pressure in the pocket.  might not mean much to some but those throws last week against Pitta were clutch.  if we get land a big hit on early I think it would do wonders for the defense psych.  would be a lot more confident if Jimmy was playing.

oh yea that means a ton. Even though Dax is good outside of the pocket, the Ravens still have to get him off his mark. You can't let any QB just sit in the pocket and pick you apart. However the things that help the Ravens even when they aren't getting pressure is the complex coverages they can play on the back end. Weddle has really helped his group with communication and we see much better coverage from the DB which kind of masks the lack of pass rush.

As good as that Cowboys oline is, I think the Ravens can get pressure on Dax, but it'll have to be as a result of forcing 3rd and longs. That'll make him hold the ball a bit longer and maybe get foolish by coverage.

I'm watching Braveheart and will do so for the next 10 minutes. Unfortunately the other TVs in the house have pregame on and i've heard the words, Dallas, Cowboys, Dax, Dez, Romo and Elliot enough this morning to last the rest of the season.

Williams and Jernigan need to have MONSTER games.
