Week 4 GDT: TNF - Browns @ Rats

My prediction for last night was a 42-14 loss. We actually gave them a fight and had a chance to tie in the last second. I'm proud of that. We did not embarrass ourselves in front of a national audience. I thought we would. However 0-4 really sucks.

I really liked how Weeden came back after the pick 6. He looked like he belongs after that. Does he perhaps have that "it" that can win games or come back victories? Don't know, but I'm starting to see flashes.

There is no jelly or peanut butter that could save the burnt toast that is Patterson. Can't believe no one has mentioned it. But every play the Ravens made seemed like Patterson was behind it.

The Thomas hold was very ticky tack.

The d-line played great. Got winded in the 4th it looked like, but they played great. We are one RDE from being elite. When was the last time we had that?

Mack sucked. Probably because the guards missed their assignments, but Mack whiffed on several plays. But, is it because they are bad, is it the scheme, or are they just not getting coached properly? Hmmmmm... Seems a little on the scheme side as they look confused on their blocking assignments.

Little knows how to get open and runs really good routes. But can he cure the drops? He can be a stud if he does. I for one am willing to give him more time.

Richardson? Oh yeahhhh!

1st bench Marecic start Smelley he was FB for Richardson at Bama and look how Richardson performed I'm not saying it was because of smelley he did so well but I think we will so much better with Smelley in the Backfield.

2nd I would seriously consider starting Ryan Miller over louvuo. he's much bigger and strong then him.

3rd if were not going to start Sheldon Brown at CB and stick with Haden and Skrine at CB have Brown start at FS

4th give Richardson the ball more Jeeze stop trying to throw the ball so much.

Two small things that made a big impact in my opinion.
First was the play right before the pick 6. A reverse by Benjamin. We had 2nd and 5. Benjamin had a choice to cut it up for a 3-4 yard gain and take a hit, or stretch it out of bounds. He took it out of bounds leaving us with 3rd and 5 instead of 3rd and 2. 3rd and 2 opens your entire play book, maybe we still throw a pick six on the next play, maybe we don't.
I have been OK with the play calling this year so far. It's the execution that has been the majority of the problems which with all these rookies is to be expected. However, with 10 minutes to go in the game, we were down by 10. We throw three straight incompletions to go 3 and out. It was way to early to panic. We can't continue to put weeden in third and longs and expect success.

We better keep Pat Shurmur around, apparently he has the ability to make elite awesome teams play down to us. He apparently did it with the Eagles and the Bengals and did it again with the Ravens.
