1st from the 25, I form, straight drop back, fade for D-Will, TOUCHDOWN RAVENS!!!!!!!!!!!

**StingerNLG** · 12-24-2006, 01:54 PM

D-Will is a superstar already. Damn, this is a hot receiving core!

**Merlin** · 12-24-2006, 01:54 PM

YES!!!!!

Demetrius is a keeper

**Sephy** · 12-24-2006, 01:54 PM

What a throw from Steve. Perfectly placed. D-Will is a star!

Interesting about that play: In the I-form, the 2 WRs were Heap and Williams.

**Merlin** · 12-24-2006, 01:55 PM

So a stupid question, while we take a breather

Why does the media always have our defense with 3 D-lineman and 4 linebackers -- they characterize Ngata as a DE instead of a DT

they get it consistently wrong so it must be what the Ravens are telling them

**Sephy** · 12-24-2006, 01:56 PM

Davenport to the 33-34.

**Sephy** · 12-24-2006, 01:57 PM

Merlin, I wonder that myself. I guess the Ravens will call it a base 3-4 officially, though that's probably not the #1 defense they run.

**Sephy** · 12-24-2006, 01:59 PM

1st from the 34, give to Parker for 1.
Flag on Pryce for Holding. OK?

**Sephy** · 12-24-2006, 02:03 PM

1st from the 39, Parker stopped for a loss by Reed and Ngata who lost his helmet. Loss of 1-2.
2nd and 10, how that was no loss I don't know, Parker up the middle for 4.
3rd and 6, false start as the blitz was on.
3rd and 11, blitz coming heavy by Landry on Ben, ball thrown at his WR's feet. Incomplete.

Ross hit immediately at the 21. We really need someone back there who can slip a tackle, Ross isn't very good at all.

**Merlin** · 12-24-2006, 02:03 PM

Cory Ross will be adequate as a kickoff returner

He can't do squat on the punts -- we need to test an alternative in the Buffalo game instead of waiting for the first wild card game

**Sephy** · 12-24-2006, 02:05 PM

1st from the 21, singleback, PA, complete to Heap over Smith to the 40. McNair loving it.

**Sephy** · 12-24-2006, 02:07 PM

1st from the 40, offset I, Jamal goes off tackle left for 3.
2nd and 7, 2 TE, straight drop back, thrown wide of Heap who had Polamalu on him.
3rd, shotgun and a bad snap, COMPLETE TO D-WILL AT THE STEELERS 42!!

THIS KID IS HUGE!!!

**Sephy** · 12-24-2006, 02:09 PM

1st from the Steelers 37 actually, give to the upback Mughelli for 2.
2nd and 8, complete to Wilcox who breaks a tackle then goes on to fumble it, and Pittsburgh recovers.

Wilcox fumbles wayyyy too much. DAMNIT. That drive was going to be the dagger.

**StingerNLG** · 12-24-2006, 02:09 PM

D-Will and Mark Clayton have to be two of our best player drafts since Ray and Ogden.

**Sephy** · 12-24-2006, 02:13 PM

1st down Steelers at the 29, complete to Ward for 7-8.
2nd and 2, pitch to Parker for no gain.
Ngata shaken up but walks off. They don't even mention it.
3rd and 2, Ben's pass bounces off the ground. Just a shit throw. Steelers going for it.
4th and 2, Steelers take a TO.

**Sephy** · 12-24-2006, 02:16 PM

4th and 2, shotgun, deflected, and what looked like a pick by AD hit the ground. Turnover on downs!!

**Sephy** · 12-24-2006, 02:18 PM

1st down Ravens from the Steeler 37, I form, false start on Brown again.
1st and 15, I form again, Jamal breaks a tackle and gets down to the 31! Gain of 11.
2nd and 4, offset I, give to Jamal for 7-8 and a first. Steeler D showing some holes now.
