    judkins to play ?

    judkins to play ? 

    I wouldn't play him.  He hadn't been with the team since June.   I'd have him suite up and sit with Sanders.  Maybe bring him in as a decoy for a play.  Perhaps a carry or two before the game is over.  I know that's easier for a RB to jump into the lineup than other skilled positions...but he missed all of the preseason, all of TC, didn't even participate in Wednesday's practice....has never played in an NFL game.  I'd also be concerned about pulled muscles and stuff as TC is important for getting your body in game shape.

    They have until Sat afternoon to decide whether to activate him for the game or not.

    Me either to the first part in bold & me too with the last part in bold.  Way to think like this 2nd round draft pick is an investment.  You're hired!!! 

  • Ravens -11.

    They can be quite stressful these days.  Meanwhile we have an owner with the biggest crush on the wrong Manning...  All I can think of is the voice of Dr Frasier Crane - "Hello Cleveland - I'm listening..."

  • The Bengals did some interesting things in the running game and hurt us with it.  Then they went away from it.   The Ravens won't make that mistake. 

     The amount of explosive plays the Browns generated on 1st down...

    1.  

    The Browns 1st down offense produced...

    0 explosive runs 

    2.3ypc 

     With the exception of a designed screen to Isiah Bond, the Browns didn't have a single 1st down throw completed to a WR between the 20s. 

      Should the Ravens copy the Bengals defense and run more 2 high, if the Browns don't find more efficient runs on early downs to punish the -1... then it's going to be a long day.

    I have no idea how Zac Taylor ever managed to make it to a super bowl.
