GAME THREAD - Ravens/Browns

[Sephy]

Hi all! I will be available for play by play today. Hope this one turns into as much a laugher as the Steelers game. No drama today, please.

Per AW:
Ravens scratched David Reed, Tom Zbikowski, Jason McKie, Jason Phillips, Arthur Jones, Davon Drew, Todd Heap and Lamar Divens.

Browns' scratches: Jordon Norwood, Jake Delhomme, Carlton Mitchell, Eric Alexander, Brian Sanford, Ko Quaye, Robert Royal and Jayme Mitchell

So we will see more Ellerbe, but no Reed/Heap. Rogers will play for Cleveland even though he didn't practice.

[GaRaven]

Glad Heap is sitting this one out....Need him for the Playoffs more than today.

[Sephy]

Cribbs to the 35, not too deep and plenty of lanes to run in.

[Sephy]

1st, Hillis straight through for 2.
2nd and 8, Hillis for another 1.5. No broken tackles, plenty of help on the edge.
3rd and 7, blitz picked up after it was telegraphed, complete to Massaqoui in front of Webb for 11

[StingerNLG]

Colt McCoy appears to be a pretty good QB. We need to contain him today.

[Sephy]

1st, hot route to Cribbs and he gets smacked, but goes for 8. Hillis might be hurt.
2nd and 2, Bell was stopped for a loss, but Ravens again don't wrap up and he spins off for 4.

[StingerNLG]

INTERCEPTION!! Nice play on the ball by Webb!!

[Sephy]

1st, underneath to Robiskie for about 6. Again, in front of Wilson. Playing too deep in general.
2nd and 4, McCoy has time, goes deep and way underthrows Massaquoi who had Webb sitting right on him, and picks it off! Down at the 2.

[AirFlacco]

Robiskie was the one WR the Ravens wanted in the Oher draft
but Cleve took him in 2d round.

[Sephy]

Webb had absolutely lock tight coverage on Massaquoi so it was a bad gamble anyway, but then McCoy's noodle arm horribly underthrew it, easy pick for Webb.

And weren't the commentators just saying arm strength was underrated. LOL

[AirFlacco]

Webb looked like the intended receiver all the way.

[Sephy]

1st, from the 4 they spot it, Rice right up the middle for 3.
2nd and 7, Rice for another 3. Inventive, this.
3rd and 4, Flac audibles from the shotgun, pass intended for Rice tipped and incomplete, he didn't wait until he got free of his man. Poor from Flacco there.

[StingerNLG]

Bah. 3 and out.

[Sephy]

Cribbs to the 40. Ravens coverage teams doing a terrible job these first 2 kicks.

[StingerNLG]

Everyone else, watch Chris Carr. THAT is how you wrap up and help tackle.

[Sephy]

1st, give to Hillis who is back, is met right up the middle for a yard and a half. Ray was right there.
2nd and 8.5, another give to Hillis who gets off right tackle, is luckily wrapped up by Carr for about 4.
3rd and 4, swing to Watson uncovered on the sideline for 5 and a first. Blitz is being easily picked up and completely telegraphed.

[StingerNLG]

What the hell??? Really???

[Sephy]

1st, reverse to Massaquoi, throws deep for Robiskie who had Carr on him and played it completely horrible, caught for a TD. Wow.

[Hound]

I dunno, looks to me it hit the ground. Probably worth the challenge
