Week 1 Running NFL Thread (Warren Moon edition)

Come on, BYH. You have to admit that this was funny.

 

Under pressure, Flacco gets rushed and seems to make mistakes. At times the game seems faster than he can see it.

He will probably outgrow that, but not yet.

 

This is true of EVERY quarterback.

That said, not sure I'll buy into the Raves as an offensive juggernaut just yet. Most of the times they looked good last night was when they were able to exploit a rookie CB in his first regular season game. Might not have as easy of pickin's elsewhere.

 

The guy they really exploited was Antonio Cromartie. Ravens were 58% on 3rd down. That will win a lot of games.

They need Heap to stay healthy.

By end of year I think they will have a very impressive offense.

 

One could say Cromartie was out there, unprotected.

 

Or the Cromartie signing is an abortion.

 

Heap is not as important to that offense as he has been in the past now that they finally have three good receivers. Also, Rice is a hell of a weapon out of the backfield. It's just a matter of Flacco putting it together.

Correction, but a positive one. Steelers tackle Max Starks does not have a high ankle sprain. The injury is much more mild than originally thought and he may only miss one game.

First the guy can't even walk off the field and he is out a month. Now Tomlin won't even rule him out for this coming Sunday? Is he taking lessons in dealing with injuries from Roethlisberger?

 

The best part of the Jets game was the serving of "Jets Uncorked" in the box where I was. For the unfamiliar, Jets Uncorked is the wine made especially for the Jets 2010 season. Cracking jokes about it killed time while waiting for the Sanchize to crack the 50 yards passing mark.

 

Last night he was very important. With wide outs to stretch the field now, he ran a lot of under routes. He will be a valuable possession receiver for Flacco.

Except, of course, the Diamondbacks (market 12) and the Marlins (market 17).
