I am not one to ever get too excited about a preseason game, but I must admit I liked what I saw Saturday night at the Edward Jones Dome when the St. Louis Rams beat the Baltimore Ravens 24-10. The fact that the Rams were actually able to score with their first team offense, for the first time in 11 preseason games is not even what I was excited about. I am excited because you can see the ...

The Ravens have so many unanswered questions going into to their final preseason game this week that it’s hard not to feel something close to despair. Just when you think the quarterback issue is answered, Joe Flacco steps up and (sort of) delivers. Troy Smith had a tummy ache and Kyle Boller is still trying to put his shoulder back together after getting decked in last week’s preseason ...

Marc Bulger threw the ball well, including two TD passes. Rookie WR's Donnie Avery and Keenan Burton also made good showings, combining for 8 catches, 128 yards and one touchdown.

The St. Louis Rams’ penultimate preseason game resulted in a 24-10 victory over the visiting Baltimore Ravens. While the final outcome was nice, a few other aspects of Saturday’s game should also bring smiles to the faces of Rams supporters. Marc Bulger looked crisp and confident with his throws in his most extensive action of the preseason; he completed 18-25 passes for 182 ...

For the first time in Scott Linehan’s tenure, the first-team offense scored a touchdown (two, in fact) in the preseason during last night’s 24-10 win over the Ravens. It was also the most points they have scored in a preseason game under Linehan. Rookies Keenan Burton and Donnie Avery combined for eight catches. Marc Bulger went 18-for 25 [...]

Hard not to be pleased with last night's results. While Baltimore's offense didn't pose the biggest challenge, their defense still earns plenty of respect, with a front seven synonymous with elite defenders. (The Ravens were without starting nose tackle Kelley Gregg and starting d-backs Ed Reed and Chris McAlister). The first team offense, sans LT Orlando Pace, scored, twice. Players looked ...

Ravens rookie quarterback Joe Flacco got his first NFL start on Saturday night, but that wasn’t the way it was planned. Troy Smith was supposed to get the nod, but a viral illness knocked him out. Flacco played the entire game, throwing 37 passes and completing 18 of them in a 24-10 loss to the Rams. It has [...]

Ravens-Rams Troy Smith starts at quarterback for the Ravens. He may play as much as three quarters. "Head coach John Harbaugh knows that Kyle Boller is terrible. He will give Smith every chance to win the job," says NFL betting guru Mike Godsey of GodsTips. Godsey seems to imply a lot of passing will be done by the normally ball control Ravens. However Smith has been terrible so ...

While John Harbaugh would lead us to believe that the race is wide open, his naming of Troy Smith as the starter for this week’s preseason game against the St. Louis Rams has all but locked in the Ohio State Buckeye as the captain of the Ravens’ early season hopes. Harbaugh may be new in town, but he’s not new to the NFL. And enthusiasts know that Kyle Boller may have the ...

Since it appears that no particular quarterback is standing out from the crowd, Troy Smith will get additional playing time during the Ravens’ third preseason game against the St. Louis Rams on Saturday, according to the Associated Press; team head coach John Harbaugh stated that Smith will get an extended look from the coaching staff and may possibly take all of the snaps with the ...

Ravens coach John Harbaugh has still not named a starter for the game as of the time of this posting. However, based on the recent play of both Smith and Boller, it really doesn't matter who starts and who comes in for the second half. While I realize ...
