Looks like Gooden is playing today.

[Sephy]

David Reed taking kicks today.

Drops it at the 1, then trips at the 23. Looks quick, though. Catch the ball homie.

[Lee Van Cleef]

Not what you want to see out of a kick returner, but at least he past the 20.

[Sephy]

1st, Rice for a yard and a half going left after McClain motions out.
2nd and 8.5, toss fake for Rice, and a mini-bootleg tossed to Heap, gets about 10 yards.

[TTRaven]

Looked like Boldin cut his route off

[Sephy]

1st, play action and Joe had plenty of time, lofted downfield for Boldin who cut his route short instead. Joe expected him to go hot deep.
2nd, give to Rice out of shotgun, cuts back going right, gets 8 yards.
3rd and 2, hits a WIDE open Housh with room to run and gets deep in Fins territory!

[Lee Van Cleef]

That fake handoff on the attempted long pass play was perfect. HOUSH!

[TTRaven]

TD Willis!

[Sephy]

1st, at the Fin 31, deep and time, to the endzone for Mason, tipped up and caught at the end but couldn't get feet in. A little underthrown.
2nd, Flacco steps back, tosses the screen to McGahee who runs 30 yards untouched for a screen TD!!!

[Lee Van Cleef]

Run willis run!

[TTRaven]

Nice block from Housh to help McGahee get in for 6

[UKRavenGordon]

Well that was just a little bit lovely wasn't it!!! What you talkin bout willis?!?!?!

[Dade]

I love screen passes.

[Sephy]

Really well executed screen, Flacco looked right as he had a straight drop back, quickly hit Willis who had only 2 in front of him, but he turned on his speed to make the first defender miss, then cuts back and makes 2 more miss, and it was all legs from there. Pretty.

[Sephy]

Fins return to th 25.

1st, Brown finds a hole (surprisingly easy these days), and pops up for 12.

[Raveninwoodlawn]

What has happened to our run defense?

[StingerNLG]

Great first drive! Set the tone for the day offense!!!

[Lee Van Cleef]

Wow. Two runs in succession they just gash us up the middle.
