GAME THREAD - Preseason Opener - Skins

**Sephy** · 08-13-2009, 04:41 PM

Welcome back, Ravens fans. We're ready to kick it back into high gear tonight with 60 minutes of jaw dropping heart stopping 4th stringer action. I WILL be doing play by play, at least until I can't possibly take misspelling the 8th DE on the depth chart's name wrong.

See you all in about 2 hours! GO RAVENS!!!

Nice stop by Ellerbe at the 15 on Hauschka's kickoff.

I will have to live vicariously through the thread as the only pre-seaon game I can watch is this faux "Super Bowl" rematch.

Funny, I dont remember either team fielding their 4th string players at last years Super Bowl.

1st, dump to Betts out of the backfield, goes for about 12 and a first. Took the best lane there.

1st, Sellers gets about 1. Nice penetration by JJ and Gregg.
2nd and 9, PA, wide open Cooley (Ray's coverage), gain of about 10 and a first.

**Sephy** · 08-13-2009, 06:43 PM

1st, from the 37, badly overthrown for Thomas. Incomplete. Carr jumped the route forcing a high throw.
2nd, more outstanding penetration, but Betts got outside for about 3.
3rd and 7, Campbell throws off of his back foot as someone applied pressure from behind, and overthrows Hagans who found a hole in the zone.

**Sephy** · 08-13-2009, 06:44 PM

Carr gets a returnable punt, makes one man miss and gets to the 29. Nice moves - and always going forward. 2 things you like to see.

**StingerNLG** · 08-13-2009, 06:44 PM

Ok. So we let them feel good for a little bit. Now it's our turn.

I didn't like seeing the Redskins with a wide open receiver like that though.

**heartattackjones** · 08-13-2009, 06:45 PM

thanks for the play-by-play guys, all the streaming channels are in blackout areas ><

well, due to "technical difficulties" i have to listen to the morons on the redskins broadcast team call the game. they already said it was barnes who made the tackle on the opening kickoff and completely butched ngata's name (pronounced the "g"). after those complete acts of idiocy, they described the redskins team as "having no holes" and annointed jason campbell the next great nfl qb. this is miserable. oh, and we apparently have a starting WR by the name of "anthony mason".

hagans was wide open ten yards behind the zone and dropped it. foxworth came in late but something was wrong there.

1st, Flacco dropping back and looks for a screen, got it batted up and almost picked. Incomplete. Rice had a ton of blockers.
2nd, very nice by Rice, gets the toss, waits for the lane, cuts upfield and gets 6.
3rd and 4, veteran move by Flacco to look left initially then slant it right to D-Will for about 10 and a first. Nice.

**StingerNLG** · 08-13-2009, 06:48 PM

Nice route Demetrius!

BTW, this sucks without quick reply. Is there a reason it's off?

**StingerNLG** · 08-13-2009, 06:49 PM

Ray Rice Baby!!!!!

**Sephy** · 08-13-2009, 06:49 PM

1st, toss to Rice who gets a couple. Oher had a nice play on the slant as well.
2nd and 8, play action, Rice coolly gets the checkdown from Flacco and goes ALL THE WAY inside the Skins 15! Nice! Kid is SO quick.
