Remember this?

How much do you think he'll factor in the game? Cam said he's the healthiest guy on the team, and will definitely factor into the game. Who thinks he's just BSing us? If he can do the same Parker did on the Browns, then we should be good, right?

Poor Ray Ray Jr. so close to a TD so many times. There was some great blocking in that game.

[Chi_Town_Raven]

Jason Brown was a monster, man! Ever since the Browns game, I said to myself, I hope Ray Rice gets his first touchdown in the Super Bowl, because that would be really cool. That might actually happen, but I'd rather him get five in this Steelers match-up.

[SuggsNotDrugs]

aren't there already like a dozen Ray Rice posts going? I don't mind talking about him some more, but we've been talking about him all over the place, and Im pretty sure there was a post already that included that video as well. Actually I think it showed his highlights from the Vikings game and it was entitled Remember This...

[NC Ravens Fan]

we dont have a "cocky" thread about him yet so i think its ok

[Chi_Town_Raven]

?

[NC Ravens Fan]

almost all of your posts contain the word cocky and something about someone acting cocky
its annoying

[SuggsNotDrugs]

the kid is 13, give him a break

[SuggsNotDrugs]

Hey Chi Town if you're only 13 and live in Chicago, how did you wind up a Ravens fan and not a fan of Da Bears? Isn't that sacrilegious?

[NC Ravens Fan]

age doesnt matter its annoying

[Chi_Town_Raven]

I don't care how damn old I am. I don't like it when people are cocky. My first two years of football were community when I was little. Before our first games, all of us were cocky. I had a total record of 1-19. That's pretty damn bad. The one game that we focused, and shut up, we won. So don't come up in here, saying I'm annoying. What's annoying, is having Ravens fans telling me, that we are going to win. Regardless if we do, it's still not good to be COCKY. I haven't even said the word for awhile, so I have no idea why you are bringing it up.

First game I ever watched was the Ravens and Bengals. I saw Ray Lewis knock the crap out of someone, and I immediately liked them, and tried to watch any game that was televised. After/during the 2007 season, I started going to bars with my dad to watch the games, so I was kind of on pause until then.

Well said, now all of you ease up on each other. Save your energy for fighting off the Steeler fans that have infested this site.

[Chi_Town_Raven]

Okay, but I'm only defending myself. I didn't say a word to the guy before.

[Chi_Town_Raven]

To be back on topic, I think Rice will be used on 3rd and long only, and that's if he's lucky.

[BloodRaven]

I would only bring him in to spell McClain AND McGahee if theyre hurt, Rice is far too hot and cold to be a factor against the #1 D, but then again I dont see anyone blowing up for big yards but at least we're going to do better than Willie Parker

[macbrak]

I think that will be the case, another pass threat or someone to draw off of someone like Neal and McClain.

[Chi_Town_Raven]

Yeah. 3>1 Usually.

[macbrak]

Exactly. He was clutch early this year on third. Busted out a couple of decent yardage plays.

[Chi_Town_Raven]

Yeah, and Pit's defense is better against big backs, like us. The "MC Duo", believe it or not, are more power this year than speed and agility. McGahee has speed, but lost a step from last year. Rice brings a totally different element to the table, than the other two.


McClain=Full-on power

McGahee=Speed and stiff arm

Rice=Speed, agility, smallness, and his name is a real word! That's mojo right there!

[SuggsNotDrugs]

Look at what Sprolles did las week to them! He didn't do a ton of damage on the ground, but as a receiver he was huge! We need to bring Ray in for screens and other passing downs, that's where he'll make a big impact. Also on longer series McGahee and McClain can pound the D, get them tired, and Rice can come in fresh and turn on the burners!!!!

Towards the end of the game Rice should be a factor for sure! our RBs tire defenses out, and when they get tired themselves bring in Ray Rice to turn it up a notch!!!!!!!!!!

[Chi_Town_Raven]

Yeah, but I don't think Cam trusts him with the ball. We need to amp our offense in the fourth because, damn, we have been horrible in the fourth quarter some games.

Actually pits is better against fast, shifty RB's Ex. sproles. leron McClain has 150 in 2 games we have played and a TD.

[TSizzle00]

Think about the last time we faced the Steelers and when Mcclain dropped that screen pass that would have givin us a TD...we needed rice so bad in that game and now hes back!!

[Chi_Town_Raven]

He has really good hands too.

yeah they stopped Sprolles on the ground, but he broke off a huge TD reception and had several key receptions. That's why Rice needs to be used for

[Chi_Town_Raven]

i mean in the open field/off tackle

[GmenNyg]

I think Ray Rice is going to turn out to be a beast.I think he will be a better Darren Sproiles

[Chi_Town_Raven]

I think so too, but I'm not sure they'll unleash him for this game.
