Week 13 Game Reviews

Baltimore Ravens at Cincinnati Bengals Ravens - When watching parts of this game on Sunday, I thought they were in shotgun formation more. They actually came out in many one back sets under center with Le'Ron McClain getting the carries. - One of the more underrated traits about Joe Flacco is that he looks to extend passing plays by moving around in the pocket. He won't throw the ball away unless he has to.  A great example of this was his first quarter 40-plus yard completion to Mark Clayton. - Later in the quarter, he waited as long as he could then ran for a first down. - McClain is so hard to bring down.

The one thing I’ve learned over the years about free agency is that its impact is pretty top-heavy, and overall overrated – at least when it comes to fantasy football. There are usually 3-4 major moves that have big impacts, and there [...] […]

  • Greene with Envy March 2, 2010
    We’re obviously still very early in the off-season process, but there’s going to be a lot for us to digest in the coming weeks and over the next two months. For now, I’m personally getting some behind-the-scenes stuff done, as well as taking on the depressing task of doing my taxes. As for the rookies, the [...] […]

  • Unemployment numbers now include LT February 23, 2010
