On a serious note, the run defense today was bad, Rice and Pierce ran at will. They better fix that against Richardson, the Browns have some nice young players on offense, TE Cameron Jordan, Josh Brown, Greg Little, Mossuqai, Weeden.
Coming in I thought it was a bad matchup. The Ravens power run game can be dominate when they set their minds to running the ball. Still, I thought we adjusted well enough in the 2nd half.

Again he just has to slide better imo. If he had slid rite he wouldnt have taken the hit. Regardless you can get hit just as hard standing in the pocket. Personally i believe his illusiveness saves him from taking alot of hits.
He was pressing that drive a little. He seemed cool but he seemed a little rattled by what the ravens were doing in the second half.
Our oline does need upgrades. You will also see 2 route sets out of the pistol three man backfield option look and the line break down a couple of times.
They couldn't stop us the first quarter, after that it was a grind. D also had first half breakdowns and came back to really make some huge plays in the second half.
Gotta say Haslett has made some great halftime adjustments the last two weeks. ( or is it Morris ) hmmm... lol

We didnt beat the Ravens with a rookie quarterback.
We beat them with TWO rookie quarterbacks and a rookie running back.

Speaking of Cousins I thought he did an outstanding job today off the bench. And the draw play on the 2 point conversion was brilliant. Nobody saw that coming.
His td pass was picture perfect.

I've read that Tim Hightower is probably ready to play. Would it make sense to bring him in now and cut Williams ( I don't think he's touched the ball). I would make that move now.

His td pass was picture perfect.
It was actually an "off schedule play" Garçon saw his man peak ( garçon was running an in pattern ) when he saw him peak he called for the ball with his hand raised to the end zone. Cousins saw him and floated it in there.
The play call on the 2 point conversion was genius.

Very glad to see we don't have any idiots here talking about trading cousins. We need him because of the risks rg3 takes. He's invaluable to our team.

Almost all of RGIII's hits came b/c he was holding the ball too long or trying to make a play out of the pocket. He's always going to be fighting for extra yards, he just needs to be a little smarter about it. From what I could tell, it mostly was NOT the O-line's fault (of course the were not blameless but, for the most part, they gave him time.
Pretty much spot on.
I was yelling at the TV with RGIII holding the ball so long on the sacks he took. He's a rookie, and I thought he played like one today. If one would look at the mere stats alone, you'd think he had a hell of a game. The reality of it is that he put up yardage, but he was 2-10 on 3rd down conversions today. He and the offensive unit got really no points off 2 turnovers provided by the defense. I think he played a shitty game besides the first quarter and a half to be honest. Said it before, the game isn't won on how many yards you accumulate, it's won by sustaining drives and scoring. Our 3rd down conversion is horrible, and he was 3-10 for the game. (Kurt was 1-1)
All that said, if this is a shitty game by RGIII, I'll take it over a John Beck shitty game, or a Rex Grossman shitty day. RGIII's off games are better than most QB's good days.
