1:03 Kyle Boller is starting....this should be very interesting. Also there is a young offensive line starting in front of him, hopefully that doesnt lead to fumbles/interception, all in all bad plays.....and Boller is sacked on the first play from scrimmage.
1:05 Three and out. They didnt run the ball at all.
1:07 OH HI MARQUIS HAGANS. Ex-UVA QB starting at WR for the Rams. Unsurprisingly, Isaac Bruce is hurt as well.
1:10 Johnson makes a nice read and knocks down the slant pass to the man in the slot. He is not AD, but he'll do for now.
1:14 BIG SURPRISE! McGahee's first carry was for 10 yds. I mean who saw that coming?
1:18 Already Boller has thrown a couple passes that were longer than 20 yds...they weren't complete, but I mean, baby steps right?
1:28 McGahee got up real slow....thats not good. Anderson in on 4th and 1. This is where Billick will try and get cute with a play-action pass or super-safe with the field goal, when you need to just run the ball up the gut....and false start on Brown. Field goal attempt is.....good.
1:35 PICK! Dwan Edwards? Not Frerotte's fault, pass was tipped into the air by Drew Bennett. McGahee is back in though. Thats a-nice. I just want to see someone do up the hustleman shuffle.
1:43 Boller goes down holding his knee on a busted screen play. Crap. But he is staying on the field. McNair is warming up though. Nice catch by Williams. He is my favorite receiver of the bunch.
1:46 Stover with a field goal....its good. I would kill for a offensive TD right now.
1:49 PICK FOR MCALISTER! Frerotte underthrew the pass HORRIBLY. Maybe Gus oughta go back to banging his head against the wall.
1:55 Boller with the fumble. Little comes from the blind side around Gaither, and hits Boller from behind, knocking the ball loose. I miss J.O. Rams have the ball at the 10.
1:58 Btw, Mike Hall winner of DREAM JOB....is doing sideline reporting for Fox on the Vikings-Bear game. WHAT A DREAM JOB! CONGRATULATIONS! If he was better looking, he might actually have some upward mobility...but now. But Gregg BLOWS UP Leonard in the backfield. Then T-Sizzle knocks the ball loose but the Rams cheated....sucks.
2:01 Hagans doesnt know how to catch....then Wilkins doesnt know how to hit a 23 yd field goal. Wow, this really is an 0-5 team.
2:10 TOUCHDOWN MCGAHEE!!! Thats red-zone offense. His first of the season. Thank God! Host: WHAT DOES STACEY KEIBLER FORMER RAVENS CHEERLEADER THINK ABOUT THAT?
Stacey: I think that's great!
Host: Stacey, what would be the physical manifestation of your mood after McGahee's TD?
Stacey:
Host: Ok, I think that's enough Stacey.
2:23 Rams screw up a fourth and short. Ravens have the ball, and somehow get called for offensive pass interference.....I swear only the Ravens get this called on them.
2:29 T-Sizzle's FIRST sack of the season...that's not suppposed to happen in the sixth game of the season. Well, to be fair, he gets all the attention without Trevor Pryce. Horrible clock management at the end of the half. Wow. How much does it suck to be a Rams fan?
2:46 PICK IVY! Ravens start with the ball in the red zone...TD or Bust!
2:48 Crap....gonna have to settle for a FG. BUST!
2:54 Ray Lewis knocks the wind out of Brian Leonard. How many careers has Ray Lewis ended? Eddie George, Rich Gannon (maybe that was Siragusa though), McNair (I am aware of the irony). I think thats it off the top of my head. Well damn, that wasn't nearly as fun as it could have been.
2:57 Alex Barron cheats, and gets away with it. There is a worldwide (NFL) conspiracy designed to keep Baltimore down. Build an ART MUSEUM TAGLIABUE!?!?!?! Rams hit a FG. meh.
3:09 Williams with a BIG CATCH! Great ball skills, finds the ball and brings it down. I like the red zone offense: Screen pass to McGahee, Run up the gut, run up the gut, run off-tackle (should be TD, but Chester cheated), then....Boller gets picked. Damnit.
3:16 PICK GREGG! ARE YOU SERIOUS?!??!!? Banaan gets the hit on Frerotte. Tim Ryan wants the Rams to challenge the play because Frerotte's arm is moving forward? It didnt hit the ground Tim, it's a pick or a fumble recovery either way. FG stover. LAME. 4 trips into the red zone, 1 TD. That's a horrible rate.
3:30 Bart Scott knocks the crap out of Frerotte, Reed picks the wounded duck Frerotte throws up. Almost as good as this hit.
3:36 Another FG. GOD. Troy Smith should be the Red Zone QB or something.
3:44 Rolle with an almost pick....looked like he was the intended reciever on the play....so far this game, no HORRIBLE/stupid penalties on the Ravens. And not-so-amazingly the Ravens are winning by 19.
3:51 Rams turn it over on downs. Let's wrap this game up: Ravens Defense looks very very very very good....against a very very very very bad team. Ravens offense again looks ok, but cannot finish inside the red zone. The O-line for the Ravens played servicable football, the WRs played relatively well, McGahee played pretty well. The problem with the offense is not the players....rather it is the PLAYCALLING. Remember that. The Ravens defense is not necessarily the most talented defense in the league, rather it is the scheme and playcalling on the defensive side that makes them good. Unfortunately the Ravens, while good, are not particularly GREAT in any single phase of the game at this point. The Ravens could be GREAT at running the ball, or passing the ball, but they need to establish an identity. The Ravens Defense is GREAT at forcing turnovers...but if they miss out on opportunities, they tend to let it get inside their head and they start to let down on the basics of defense.
