Ravens @ Comandos

[tsylvester]

Last chance to make the team, or get good film to make another team. Here is to health

[oldno82]

I would like an injury free game as well. Also, I'd like to see improvement continue with Cooper Rush. He and Walker teamed up well last week but he's still throwing too many INT's.

[tsylvester]

The ints are not all his fault for one. 2) they teach to take chances, give the receivers a chance to make plays in the preseason.

OK...I can buy that.

Unless a dude is just throwing it up haphazardly it’s no big deal right now.

[tsylvester]

A cloud of dust and a mighty hi ho silver!

Ravens run down the field, literally, only 2 passes, dispite what Jerry keeps repeating, for a touchdown on 14 plays, Ali getting the bulk of the carries but both back ran well.

Nice cutting off of blocks, good patience. The line, also a tremendous job staying with blocks. 70 yards in 8:25
