papasmurfbell Posted October 15 Posted October 15 On a logistical question. Is there a hotel down there that was not swamped with water? If not do we travel day of the game? Quote
tsylvester Posted October 15 Posted October 15 Good question, maybe this will help https://www.tampa.gov/emergency-management/hurricane-information Quote
oldno82 Posted October 16 Posted October 16 I am beginning to think this is the most difficult game on the remainder of our schedule. Mayfield is playing exceptionally well, the offense has jelled, and the D is pretty impressive too. We'll have to bring our A game to this one. Quote
tsylvester Posted October 16 Posted October 16 4 wins in a row is very nice, i remember a quote from Humph, we talked about it after they lost 2 in a row to start the season, how a teammate who played in Tampa was it, started off like that then came together and won 10 straight. This team seems to have taken that to heart. Listen to them talk about stacking plays, drives, wins together. Using this regular season to figure out what works, to prepare for the post season. The defense doesn't have to be AS focussed on their rush lanes. Yes Baker can scramble as good as most normal qbs, but he is no Josh Allen, Jayden Daniels. Yes, he is playing as well as anyone, can make any throw, he especially likes the back shoulder throw when in the redzone, and he is very good at it. But, he has a weakness, he thinks he can fit the ball into tiny spaces; sorry, he is no Brett Favre. Attack the pocket, by pushing into him from up front. Get those long arms up, he is short, can't see well and you csn frustrate him by tiping his passes. I exoect to see a lot more of Urban in this game. Defensively, they have given up 18 plays of 20 or more, only 4 other teams have given up more, sadly our Ravens are one of them, dead last in that category. They are 9th in the league for sacks with 17, the Ravens have generated 19. Yes, the Ravens defense will need help from the offense, no turnovers, time consuming drives, score touchdowns. Keep those penalties as a team down, it is sadly a Monday night game, I am sure the league was not happy about the flag fest this past Monday, so maybe they will let these two teams play. Five game win streak would be awesome, a loss does not negate the hard work that they have already put in, but... Quote
papasmurfbell Posted October 17 Author Posted October 17 Baker is busting everyone with the slant. Not something we have been defending well this yr. Quote

No, I agree. A loss to TB would not negate all they have done so far. If it's competitive I'll be satisfied. If we win I'll be real happy. And even though they are a tough foe, we can beat them.

Yeah, the way to stop slant is not just on the corner, though he obviously plays the biggest roll. But it also comes down to the backers getting width in their drops. It is not easy, it happen so quickly. You also run the risk of opening the middle up even more. But lining up the corner or slot man, if the slot is the slant pattern, to the inside of the receiver is a big help. This falls on film study, on teaching techniques. Humph did a great job taking a chance against Chase & Burrow at the end, jumping that route for a key pick. It started with him recognizing the tendency, then I believe he lined up shaded to the inside shoulder of Chase. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted October 18 Author Posted October 18 Everyone knows it’s going to Godwin but his completions are outpacing teams. He has more yac than entire teams. btw spacing the backers gives their run game more room to operate. 1 Quote

papasmurfbell Posted October 19 Author Posted October 19 Peyton is the greatest regular season qb ever. Maybe he sees himself in Lamar. Quote
tsylvester Posted October 19 Posted October 19 The Ravens defense is do for a pick or two, Stephens especially. He has only been beat by perfect throws and incredible catches this year. Wiggins too is do for a pick. I could see them get one or two this game.. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted October 19 Author Posted October 19 Stephen’s has zero ball skills. He isn’t getting a ball. Quote

He started out his college career playing runningback at UCLA, for 3 years before he graduated and transferred to SMU, where they switched him to corner. Quote

papasmurfbell Posted October 19 Author Posted October 19 For the most part bama cornerbacks have poor ball skills. They are sticky but don’t get to the ball well. Quote

tsylvester Posted October 20 Posted October 20 A common misconception, after all, they draft so many Bama players.. Quote
tsylvester Posted October 20 Posted October 20 All of that talent on the Eagles offense and they cant string together more than 2 or 3 first downs and can't score Against the hapless Giants too boot..m end of the first, 0-0 Quote
tsylvester Posted October 20 Posted October 20 Works every time, say they can't, then they do, 14-0 Iggles, 4 mins left in the half Quote
papasmurfbell Posted October 20 Author Posted October 20 Missed most of game. Ny is straight trash. Quote
tsylvester Posted October 20 Posted October 20 I only made it to half time, it was bad. Turned on a movie instead, it too was bad, but sometimes a bad movie is better than a bad football game Quote
