thoughts about our team after 3 preseason games.After attending last nights game I feel not as hopeless as before. Baltimore is one of the best teams in the league and Flacco has really matured from last year to this year. I thought our run defense seemed better, not great but better than last 2 weeks. Jake could play better and Gamble sucked. I thought our run game was good. We could run when we had to against one of the best defensive units in the league. I feel for some reason, I'll blame injuries, that our whole team is not as far along as they should be. Smitty and Moose look good. Moore might be the number 3 receiver and I feel TE is a position of strength. I think at this point if we can get healthy we will be okay. Since Baltimore is not known as a throwing team our pass defense concerns me. We played one of the best teams in the league who I believe had all their starters and we played with our 3rd string back(best 3rd back in the league maybe) without 2 starting linebackers and without our starting free safety. After last week I was concerned but I feel somewhat better this week. I wonder if our late camp start and our short camp has put us a week behind other teams. Kind of seems that way to me. |

Re: thoughts about our team after 3 preseason games.That's pretty accurate. Honestly, I don't understand what everyone's worried about.

Re: thoughts about our team after 3 preseason games.Ummm, our team looks like shit right now. Make excuses if you like fellas but at this time last year we couldn't wait for the season to start because our team looked so lethal on both sides of the ball. Not this year. Unless we learn how to breakdown and tackle within the next week, we are in trouble. |

Re: thoughts about our team after 3 preseason games.While there are several key players missing due to injury...this team looks and plays like ...they think last years 12-4 divisional championship season was a flux...that is a porblem...they seemingly do not appear to be a very confident inspired football team...just one looking like they will find a way to lose! That is fast becoming a selffulfilling prophice....you become what you think you are...where is the confidence we thought this team would exhibit???? |

Re: thoughts about our team after 3 preseason games.Yeah why would you worry. Both the offense and Defense has looked terrible for the most part. (especially the defense). Our 1st teams put up only 3 pts on the Ravens and gave up 17!!! Why wouldn't you worry?? A second year QB picked our D apart, and Jake overthrew alot of receievrs, but he did make a couple nice throws. The Runoffense has looked decent, but like I said the starters only put up 3 pts in 3 quarters. Don't give me the it's only the preseason speech. We actually gameplanned for this one. |
