Fantastic Stat

Bazooka Joe threw to 10 different receivers, completing passes to 9 different targets.

That, good people is spreading the ball around.

[varaven45]

And he doesnt even have the services of Evans !

It is important.

It says Joe kept looking for the best matchups and found them. Teams can only go so deep in good cover guys.

Only so many linebackers can cover. When you have Ray Rice, Pita and Dixon that stresses the linebackers. Hell Joe hit Leach and Ricky too.

Then they have a legit field stretcher in Smith and the whole field opens for Joe...and all his options.

 

Smith, Pita, Dixon, Williams and Reed are getting valuable experience. They are growing into their roles and getting better, getting more confident, one game at a time.

 

Since the Ravens are winning it's a blessing in disguise for the rookies and young guys that Evans is huirt. They have to step up and make plays which is the fastest way to develop. Sitting on the bench, weekly practice is not the same as gameday.

did ya notice the 3rd down conversion rate 23 first downs, 18 via the pass top? holding the squeelers to just 1 of 4 in the redzone1

Harbaugh can't stop talking about the job Grubbs has done. This guy must be a really great guard to have this kind of influence on our OL. We should really consider locking these types of lineman up. Give Joe time and he'll make WRs look like stars!

 

On another note, I read that Evans is returning to practice with his sights set on the Hawks game. He says the major thing is the cutting, not the straight ahead running.

[cravnravn]

Yup, Evans practiced yesterday, with no ill effects...Yanda also had no increased pain from playing in his first game since week 1.

 

Seems we are getting healthy at the right time.

[varaven45]

Crav,

 

 

Great news on Evans. Dod you mean Grubbs (instead of Yanda) ?

 

[cravnravn]

Yes, Im still on cloud 9

[yagersports]

Wow Evans being Healthy would be unbelievable! I really didn't think he would be back until week 10 or later! Can you imagine Evans and Smith both flying down the sidelines with Boldin having single coverage underneath??????? Oh Btw, if you manage to bottle them up, please account for Pitta and Rice!

[cravnravn]

Remember now, Smith replaced Evans, you think we can run a package with Boldin, Smith & Evans Pitta & Rice??

[yagersports]

Just sayin in overall gameplanning. I think we'll definitely run a few three receiver sets. I also think that we can run three receivers, 5 lineman, Rice, and Pitta on a few rare occasions. Maybe in a few 2nd and short scenarios where the all out blitz won't be on etc.

 

Then the total packages are endless. Also, if anyone remembers, Flacco ran the slant very well with Evans early on. It was a nice comfort blanket that Evans could get off the line so quickly.

They can close the roof, right? Shouldn't be a problem.

No roof in Seattle, just like ours.

I was in Seattle for two months this summer it didn't rain but one day. Meanwhile back here we got 19" in August! I was told that was the best time of the year to be out there.

[oldno82]

True. They get most of their rain over the winter months.
