    I like Gruden too but to say he has no predisposition is not true. Dude loves the Steelers. I think our traditional style appeals to him and Tomlin is his boy from back in the day with the Bucs.
    Maybe that's the subconscious reason I like him I don't remember seeing him do a Steeler game recently but then again I have a bad case of CRS.

    Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, hear the lamentations of their women.

    I'm glad the Ravens spent so much on Flacco. He's just another QB that's terrible under pressure. Hopefully we can bring the pressure when we play them.
    pretty much...

    I disagree.. it wasn't a bad play at all by the defender. I could see if he was no where close and tried to jump the route but he was inches away from a pick.

    So does sitting back and just hoping the other team makes a mistake along the way. You have to be aggressive in today's NFL. You may still get beat, but you'll also have a better chance at making big plays.

    Collinsworth did have a great comment early in the game regarding Flacco. "His streak of good luck continues."

    I thought that was spot on.

    first or second down maybe, but on third and 12 it is a bad play. Worst case scenario if he plays it safe is that they are forced to punt so they get the ball back, just not in as good field position. Worst case scenario on the gamble, you give them a new set of downs across midfield instead of you getting the ball around the same spot.

    I'm more afraid of that marlon brown kid once he gets experience
    At 6'5 / 210lbs this guy could create matchup problems for us for years to come... the prototypical NFL WR. Agreed. .. a nightmare in the making.
