GAME THREAD - Ravens/Rams (preseason)

**RavenScallywag** · 08-23-2008, 10:08 PM

Flacco plays a lot next week, but only because we want to protect Kyle and Troy...no way he's our starter for the season, at least not for a few weeks.

As good as he looked in the second half, he's got a long way to go before we want to put him in. He might play better than KB or Troy, but you want to keep the pressure off of him.

Haven't seen the game, but just reading this it wouldn't shock me if we wind up going 2-6 the first half of the season, then stick Flacco in and finish 4-4 with some actual hope that we've got our QB of the future...

My laptop died. I couldn't carry on

Excited to see more from Flacco next week.

Great to see Joe pump fake on the slant and go to Mason.And the touch on the TD to Mason was nice.Those baby steps got a little larger in the 2nd half.
If there was anything to smile about from this game it was watching Joe's progression.

He said himself he was hyped to start.But he has to be in control of his emotions to play QB.Resulting in the better play in the 2nd half.Still he is moving in the right direction and that's all we can ask for at the moment.

I know our starting CB's were out.But it wasn't fair letting Bulger play 11 vs 9.
So many holes for those Ram WR's to run into.

So Troy stomach virus & Boller shoulder injury.i wondered what had happened when I read the play by play with Joe starting.I thought Harbaugh had pulled a major carpet out from under Troy & Kyle's legs.
