Pass in the endzone on an incut route, ball is too slow, Graham is able to under cut the route and pick it off! That is what happens when you have an old arm, the ball just does not get there fast enough

[tsylvester]

Just another reason the Ravens went away from Johnson and Snoop, both guys have noodle arms now and that just won't cut it any more.

One injury that we know of, solid play all the way around..

Tuesday is cut down day to 53, plus 16 on practice squad and any players "hurt" who can go on ir but be recalled this year, up to 8, yet must miss 4 games.

That was satisfying win. Loop is impressive. We'll see how he holds up in the regular season but so far so good.

Rush looked better today as well.

 

[tsylvester]

He did enough, checked out when needed, let everyone else show what they have.

But his arm is what the team needs, that pick in the endzone Johnson through was simply because he could throw it hard enough, which gave Graham time to undercut the throw.

You can win games with qbs like him and even Huntley as backups.

If Lamar goes down for 2 or 3 games, you need someone who can win 1 of 2 or 2 of 3. Neither Huntely nor Johnson can realistically do that, teams would just go man and put 8, 9 in the box to stop the run.

The Commandos did that in the 2nd quarter and even 3rd to try and slow down the run, and Rush best them with his arm enough times to back them off.
