I didn't actually see the game (didn't seem important) but I voted for Lo' anyway......
Not sure how much longer he'll be able to play with the....Hits he delivers.
Shanahans are holding him back anyway....

[QUOTE=SmootSmack;973547]We're actually the same person. LL...SS...eh?! eh?!!

Seriously though, for web-based Redskins insiders you're not likely to find a better one than LL. He's much more in tune with the current Redskins than I have been for a long time. We often get similar info, but from different angles.[/QUOTE]

Players and players wives. ;)

Looks like he was able to turn his leg just enough to get it sideways. Still amazing it was able to bend this far without ligament tear. Incredible athlete!

Very, very, lucky. Could have been Joe T. All over again.

[QUOTE=Mattyk;973529]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.[/QUOTE]

I had to listen on the radio. It seemed like Rice was out for some extended periods of time. If he wasnt hurt was that just a gift ? Nothing against Pierce but it seemed like Rice didnt shoulder the load like he usually does. Hard to tell when you are running in and out of your daughters dance recital and listening on the radio.

I mean in all honesty what could have or should do different to prevent that hit? I was not able to see it.

The Ravens sometimes spell Rice for long periods of time without any typical rhyme or reason, but he did have 20 carries today.

Him sliding.

Re: Ravens at Redskins Post Game Thread (RG3 MRI Result-Sprained Knee)
 

[quote=NC_Skins;973558]When I made the statement that he and the offensive basically got no points, that was in reference to them scoring any TDs off of it. I was giving the 6 points to the special teams. :P Need to capitalize on turnovers and on 3d downs. Not going to win much if we continue this trend.

I agree with you overall in that those 6 points were crucial to this game. Probably why Kobra Kai walked out of the locker room with the game ball.[/quote]

Yeah I gotcha now. That why I have him my game ball vote too! lol

I just look at as though we still have a rookie, he going to get better, and we are one game from where most of us realistically had this team at the beginning of the year.

If we get into the playoffs with a healthy RG III and maybe a game at home... Well we might make a little noise continuing to play as we do now by creating TOs, big plays on Offense, 14/14 kicker, protecting our possessions by not turning the ball over, coming up with key pressures and defensive stops, and being able to run down people's throats. Yeah we could make a little run if we get there. Don't worry about everything we might not do great and focus on what is getting us where we are.

Weather played a part today don't forget that when evaluating the offense

[QUOTE=SFREDSKIN;973522]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.[/QUOTE]

I think we give up some of the runs in order to play deeper and prevent big plays. did torrey smith have any catches?

Exactly

Smith had one catch, however Boldin had 2 long TD's.

He could have been hit in the head with a slide in that situation.

Just saying. Sometimes shit happens no matter what you do.

Now you know why a good majority of Raven fans hate Cam Cameron. They want him gone ASAP, and truthfully Jim Zorn took the fall for the offense a year ago. What's his excuse now? Still remember that game last year against the Jaguars, in which they lost.

[url=http://espn.go.com/nfl/boxscore?gameId=311024030]Baltimore Ravens vs. Jacksonville Jaguars - Box Score - October 24, 2011 - ESPN[/url]


Ran Rice a whopping 8 times that game while Flacco threw for 38 times. AGAINST THE SHITTY JAGUARS!!!

Re: Ravens at Redskins Post Game Thread (RG3 MRI Result-Sprained Knee)
 

The story up here is that Torrey Smith is struggling with reading Flacco's release and has been misjudging the location of the ball recently. As happened in the first quarter when he slowed and Wilson caught up with him even though he had everyone beat.

Re: Ravens at Redskins Post Game Thread (RG3 MRI Result-Sprained Knee)
 

Bottom line is we beat the SB champs last week and a team that should have been in the SB. To me there really isn't anything to bitch about....not the run d, or the secondary, or whatever...what this team has done the last two weeks is pretty damn impressive.

[QUOTE=Mattyk;973586]He could have been hit in the head with a slide in that situation.

Just saying. Sometimes shit happens no matter what you do.[/QUOTE]

Well if he slid feet first it wouldnt have. Your rite i mean hes a qb in the nfl so injuries are lurking around every corner. But he slid in such a way that his legs were flailing around in the air and he was in a vulnerable position.

Re: Ravens at Redskins Post Game Thread (RG3 MRI Result-Sprained Knee)
 

So we are now just a game back from the 5th and 6th spot.

I take that to mean we hold the tiebreakers over both Sea and Chi?

Meaning if either lose or both lose we would move to either the 6th spot or the 5th spot if the Giants don't lose another game and we win out. Is that correct?

seriously agree. we win 3 in a row against the division and beat a 9-3 team while losing our stud qb. our kicker is on fire, and our team is winning with heart. gotta say u can see good things going forward.

Re: Ravens at Redskins Post Game Thread (RG3 MRI Result-Sprained Knee)
 

I think we all can agree on one thing here.

Mike Shanahan saying its time to start evaluating players was the best thing that could happen to this team.

How can you tell?

He was starting to go into a slide against Atlanta when he got clocked.

Sliding doesn't protect you 100% from injury. Guys can still hit you on the way down or late. Ngata wasn't going to let up, he would have him hit regardless.

Should have made the "evaluation speech" before the first game. Would have saved us a lot of grief... :)

Flacco underthrew that. Had he thrown it in stride, that goes for 6. That isn't on Smith. Can't speak about him misjudging the ball recently, but that didn't appear to be the case today. Flacco's main problem is his consistency.

Flacco should have led him on that throw though. I blame Flacco a lot more, he needs a lot of time to make throws.

Re: Ravens at Redskins Post Game Thread (RG3 MRI Result-Sprained Knee)
 

I want to give a shoutout to rookies making big plays for us this season. We have gotten timely contributions from rookies when we needed them multiple times this season.

RG3 - need I say anything?

Alfred Morris - Even those most optimistic about him heading into training camp must be somewhat surprised by his production this season.

Richard Crawford - had his ups and downs, but without a doubt his punt return today has been the highlight of his season so far, and it couldn't have happened at a better time for us.

Kirk Cousins - other than the comeback drive, didn't ask too much of him today, but he delivered at every opportunity. I'm not too optimistic about us if he has to step in for any length of time, but kudos is definitely in order for what he did for us today.

Keenan Robinson - done for the year now, but was playing solid when he was in the lineup previously.

Kobra Kai Forbath - All I want out of a kicker is one who can make field goals, and not kick the ball out of bounds repeatedly on kickoffs. And since he's never missed a field goal in his NFL career and is mostly solid on kickoffs he meets all my qualifications. Hopefully he's our guy for the next decade.

[QUOTE=Mattyk;973601]How can you tell?

the one thing Griffin has to understand, and maybe he does, is that once he is running he absolutely has a target on him. Defenses know they want to hit him every chance they can, and it is impprtant to slide or protect himself. I think he is learning and will, but when the game is on the line his competitive spirit and drive takes over. I don't know that you want him to break that part.

Re: Ravens at Redskins Post Game Thread (RG3 MRI Result-Sprained Knee)
 

I think RG3 is probably one of the more targeted guys in the NFL. You can't stop him, so why not try to hurt him? It's getting very obvious every game.

Re: Ravens at Redskins Post Game Thread (RG3 MRI Result-Sprained Knee)
 

When he turned back into the middle of the field he was taking a risk. Slide or not he was going back into the unit chasing him.

Re: Ravens at Redskins Post Game Thread (RG3 MRI Result-Sprained Knee)
 

Id like to add another note before I start cramming Pollard ought to be suspended for that blatant yet missed helmet to helmet attempt

Well he got hit in the legs while they were up in the air. So if he slid feet first they would not have been up in the air. I agreed with your statement that he could get hurt anyway. Just saying that in this particular case it was an awkward slide that left him in a vulnerable spot. Also Ngata could have possibly drawn a penalty. Griffs slide in this case left him vulnerable. Thank God it was not worse. Thats whats important.

I was just talking about him getting hurt in general.

[QUOTE=Mattyk;973618]I was just talking about him getting hurt in general.[/QUOTE]

And I was just talking about this particular play. Lol. I completely agree that sliding is not a safe gaurd against injuries - like you said guys can still hit you late.

Re: Ravens at Redskins Post Game Thread (RG3 MRI Result-Sprained Knee)
 

I have never seen anyone get a knee injury when the leg is not planted. Has anyone else has seen a knee injury as a result of of whipping across a players back before? He was hit on the thigh not the knee.

I played for 14 years (not pro, youth thru college) and have watched for 35 years and I will say that is a freak knee injury if there ever was one. Cant get mad about that....not like he is trying to truck folks down the sideline.

IMO when the drops started in the 4th QTR, Robert said follow me we are going to win. That is what we have had missing from this team for 20 years.
