TEXANS/RAVENS info thread

[MadJack]

I'm putting stuff in here, FWIW. Some mine, some taken from other places.

Feel free to add to it and comment.

About the Flacco thing. Okay, he's not in the ELITE class of QB's in the league but he is effective and he's our man now and will be for the future.

Steelers (2x)

Bengals (2x)

Jets

49'ers

Texans

That's 7 games against some of the top Defense's in the league be it a 3-4 or a 4-3, the Ravens beat them all. Once you've gone against Rex Ryan type defenses anything exotic isn't new.

Ravens lost to some bad teams, JAX, SEA, but were on the road and those games were after a BIG game.

Ravens get up for the BIG games especially at home where they are undefeated.

Transcripts of Texans presser is out. A preview:

(on some of the Texans secondary team saying their last meeting against Baltimore was one of their worst games as a unit) ?Yea I thought it was bad in one way, but it was good in another in that after the game we made some changes. We realized we couldn?t give up big plays, secondary-wise I?m talking about, and overall, but we flipped both outside linebackers changed positions after that game and I think it fit both of them better and then we made some mistakes in the running game. We weren?t playing the run great early in the year. Everybody said we weren?t going to be very good against the run, that kind of stuff and we didn?t play great in that game against the run, but after that I think we played tremendously strong against the run. I think we ended out fourth in the League and we played a lot of good backs after that. So, you know I think we improved a lot even though we didn?t play as well as we wanted to I think we improved a lot after that ballgame, because of the mistakes you make. You learn from your mistakes, too.?

(on the development of the Texans defense and how much they have improved since their last meeting against Baltimore) ?Our guys? Oh. Well, probably quite a bit more than we had you know I don?t know about percentages, but probably about 30 percent more than what we had last time we played them, but I just think our fundamental play, like I say, against the run, against the deep ball, I think, I?m pretty sure we gave up the least number of 20-yard passes in the League and we gave up several in that game. So you know those things we improved on.?

(on OLB Connor Barwin and OLB Brooks Reed?s improvement since the teams last meeting against Baltimore) ?Well, both of them have really come through for us. You know, neither we knew, one we didn?t know he was going to play and the other one we didn?t know how he was going to play. Both of them we didn?t know for sure, but you know Connor?s come through with you know, 11-and-a-half sacks and been a dominant, a Will linebacker, you need a Will linebacker that can rush the passer and that?s what Connor?s become for us and made it where they have to slide the line towards him and that give the other teams problems. So, you know with his 11-and-a-half and Mario?s (Williams) five, that?s 16-and-a-half from that position so we really got a great production from there, the kind that we got from DeMarcus Ware and people like that so. And then Brooks Reed has come in and really hasn?t played like a rookie. He?s played like a good player. I mean he?s played well, he?s relentless as far as the running game and the passing game and that?s helped him get better and better and he?s improved throughout the year. You know he got another sack last game in the playoffs and it?s not too big for him. He?s showed that from the first play on. He?s ready to play and he?s playing well.?

Two top defenses but...

*Texans have played 5 straight overs in January, are 12-3 over in there last 15 as favs and 27-9 over against teams with winning records.

Week 6 Baltimore beat Houston 29-14 as a 7 pt fav with a total of 43, Foster was held to just 49 yds rushing. The Texans were without WR Johnson in that game but had QB Schaub who is not available for this game.

This total might be a bit low :shrug:

I'm not done but as far as covering, that's a lot of points. I would lean to taking the 9 points but I can't do that and will just watch. Houston is a public dog in this spot. opcorn2

So I wouldn't be able to take those points either. :0003

when the opposing team is cutting your stomach wide open and your lower intestines have spewed all over the carpet no amount of money can ease the pain.

History of inexperienced QB's playing in Baltimore

I would have done just rookies but they were few and far between looking back, so I went 3 years experience and under.
