MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2006 I shall note that the Ravens held the Saints offense to 22 points when they played them in New Orleans. Brees did have 383 yards passing and 3 TDs but also had 3 ints and most of the yardage given up was after the Ravens got a 35-7 lead, and they do have a terrible habit of giving up gobs of passing yards when they get up by a couple TDs.. I am quite surprised about this game so far though..I did figure on NO winning but I thought it'd be closer than this. Exhibit A. The Saints are delivering a 42-17 mammoth ass whipping to Dallas in "Big D", and Marvin has to spew some pointless shit about what the Ravens did to them. Exhibit B. LOL at the sign LT Can't be stopped.. Week 4 - 0 TDs 98 yards rushing.. I think he can be.. LT sets the single season TD record but who cares it's all about the Ravens. The Ravens are one of 2 teams to keep the Almighty LT out of the end zone this year and held him to 98 yards rushing. Ravens rush defense, while giving up 120 to Larry Johnson yesterday (only would have had 70 something if for not that one long run that resulted in Trent Green throwing to Ed Reed again) is still averaging only 75 yards a game, which is now #2 in the league behind Minnesota. You cant argue with the stats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vampiro69 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2006 So what, 98 yards is still a good day on the field. Teams are allowed to give up yards on the run once in a while. So LT didn't get into the endzone. You aren't going to get a TD every week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So LT didn't get into the endzone. You aren't going to get a TD every week. LT has made it in 11/13 games which makes the fact he has 29 TDs in 11 games pretty crazy. The Ravens, even when they went 6-10 the last two years have had great rush defenses, at one point going over a full season without giving up 100 yards to a single rb.

Vampiro69 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2006 I got a question for you Marvin. If you ran into Ed Reed and Ray Lewis would you ask them to father your future children? You seem to have quite the hard on for them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted December 12, 2006 I got a question for you Marvin. If you ran into Ed Reed and Ray Lewis would you ask them to father your future children? You seem to have quite the hard on for them. My favorite defensive player is Terrell Suggs, but Ed Reed is right up there. They got him with their first pick in 2003 though, when they could have gotten Leftwich with that pick..and then when Leftwich went they got stuck with making the retarded trade to get Boller. But I digress.. Like they said yesterday, the entire Ravens defense is full of Pro Bowl callibre players and Im betting that Lewis, Reed, Suggs, McCallister, Pryce, Scott and Thomas all go, so its a hard choice to make. Dawan Landry is a defensive ROY candidate although I doubt he'll win it. Im not the biggest Samari Rolle fan though..hes the one that always seems to be getting beat for long receptions. Im not looking forward to when some of the players are let go due to the salary cap like they had to do with Ed Hartwell but Ozzie Newsome is one of the best GMs in terms of getting the best out of their draft picks which has allowed them to keep their great defense going despite losing guys like Hartwell. And I think Rex Ryan might end up as a candidate for a head coaching job too, but not as fast as Marvin Lewis was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
