RAVENS; WAS SUGGS RIGHT WITH IT BEING A STATE OF EMERGENCY?

  Terrell Suggs: Raven's are in a state of emergency. I posed the question in my blog title but my opinion as a ex football player I would say yesssss! Yes I'am a former New York Jet but I'am a hometown boy and the Raven's are my team and from a player/coach eye their major leak is the O-line and that trickles down from the NFL, NCAA, HIGH SCHOOL to POP WARNER. The offensive line determines what type of game your offense will have and whether your team win's for the day. I know defense wins championships and the Raven's did it with their first win. However, if you don't have some type of offense to sustain drives, eat up clock and put some type of points on the board it's similar to a ox in the old farming days you push, push and push that ox will run out of steam and that's whats happening to our D. 

   Speaking of our D, since the Broncos game no team has scored over 16 points from scrimmage on our defense. The majority of the points were field goals and the D is ranked 14th in the league which isn't bad compared to what people believed they would be. 

  Offensive wise we have to step up the running game it's def. lacking this year. I know Ray Rice is hurt and he doesn't want to sit out because he want's to be there for his team and his pride will not allow him to sit out he's a true football player. Pierce has to step up his game because it's not on the same level as it was last year. More consistency from the passing game and Flacco will help but our team over the years has been a run to set up the pass and now in the past few games has gone pass and hope the run can get us a few yards. 

  This season up to this point is a black eye for the Ravens because under 500 at the break doesn't match up to the Raven's play or make up of their team. So state of emergency yes, will they fix it we shall see.

MANNING BACK HOME, DID THE COLTS FIND THE ANSWER OR IS INDY THAT GOOD?

THE GAME OF THE EVENING THIS PAST SUNDAY. THIS WAS THE GAME OF THE SEASON TO MOST BECAUSE OF MANNING COMING BACK HOME TO PLAY AGAINST THE NEW FACE OF THE COLTS. THE FANS WERE A CLASS ACT TOWARDS MANNING AND APPRECIATING WHAT HE DID IN INDY AND MANNING THE SAME TO THE FANS.

ON THE FIELD THE COLTS DIDN'T SHOW APPRECIATION, THE DEFENSE SHOWED UP TO PLAY AND SHOWED THAT PRESSURE DOES BUST PIPES AND HAD MANNING ON THE FENCE FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE GAME. LUCK SHOWED WHY INDY DECIDED TO RELEASE MANNING AND GO WITH HIM RUNNING FOR A TOUCHDOWN, PASSING FOR 3TDS AND NO INTS.

I KNOW MANNING OF THE PASS COULD BEAT TEAMS WITH HIS SKILL AS A QB ALONE BUT IN REALITY YOU DO NEED SOME TYPE OF DEFENSE TO AT LEAST SLOW THE OPPOSITION DOWN. I KNOW A COSTLY FUMBLE ON THE 2YD LINE STOPPED A GO AHEAD SCORE FOR THE BRONCOS BUT THAT'S FOOTBALL AND IF AND A BIG IF THE BRONCOS PASS DEFENSE AND DEFENSE AT A WHOLE CAUSED A FEW TURNOVERS AND STOPS IT MAY HAVE BEEN A DIFFERENT GAME ALONG WITH PROTECTING MANNING MORE.

SO MY QUESTION TO YOU IS ARE THE BRONCOS A TRUE THREAT OR ARE THEY A IN THE MOMENT TEAM TO WIN AT FANTASY FOOTBALL AND POLLS WITH?

WEEK 7 IS HERE: CLASSIC GAME AS ALWAYS BALTIMORE VS. PITTSBURGH!!!! WILL IT BE THE SAME?

                                                                    WEEK 7

    HEREEEEEEE WE GO SPORTS FANS. NO MATTER THE RECORDS IN THE PAST OR THE TIME OF YEAR THIS BATTLE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A GAME TO WATCH AND TALK ABOUT. YOU HAVE THE PLAY FOR 1ST AND 2ND IN THE DIVISION BETWEEN TWO, TRASH TALKING BETWEEN THE HEADLINERS ON EACH TEAM, AND THAN BOOOOOM! WE HAVE LIFT OFF.

    IT'S A NEW SEASON, NEW PLAYERS, OLD PLAYERS GONE OR HURT AND VERY DIFFERENT RECORDS AS OF NOW. SO MY QUESTION TO YOU WILL THEIR STILL BE THE SAME IMPACT OF THIS GAME ON SUNDAY AT 4:25PM?

   MY THOUGHTS ARE YESSSS, BECAUSE YOU STILL HAVE SUGGS WHO HATE THE STEELERS, CLARK AND POLAMALU, FLACCO AND ROETHLISBERGER TO LEAD THE CHARGE ALONG WITH TORREY SMITH, RAY RICE AND THE NEW FACE RAVENS TO BATTLE THE NEW FACE STEELERS.

   MY CONCERN IS THAT WITH BOTH OFFENSES TRYING TO GET A JUMP START, WHAT KIND OF HAND WILL BOTH DEFENSES HAVE TO PLAY TO BE SUCCESSFUL?

YOUTH FOOTBALL: WHERE HAS THE FUN GONE, FOR THE KID'S THAT IS?

THE NEW ERA HAS COME. WHAT DO I MEAN BY THAT YOU SAY? I MEAN WE ARE IN THE AREA AND NOT JUST FOOTBALL WHERE OUR YOUTH ARE BEING SHAPED TO BE TEEN AND ADULT ATHLETES IN ELEMENTARY & SECONDARY SCHOOL. 

  

    I HAVE WATCHED A FEW YOUTH GAMES AND EVEN SOME OF THE SPORTS FACILITIES THAT I HAVE TRAINED IN SEEN YOUNG KIDS DOING THE EXACT WORKOUTS THAT HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETES, COLLEGE ATHLETES AND PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES DO. 

   

   TRUST ME I KNOW PARENT'S WANT THEIR KIDS TO BE THE BEST BUT PUTTING THEIR BODIES THROUGH THAT TYPE OF REGIME THAT EARLY COULD CAUSE HARM TO THEIR BODY AND COULD CAUSE THEM TO REBEL AGAINST THE SPORT.

  

   JUST A LITTLE FOOD FOR THOUGHT ALLOW YOUR KIDS TO HAVE FUN AND LEARN THE GAME THAN ONCE THEY HAVE ACCEPTED THE SPORT SHAPING OF THE NEXT RAY RICE, TOM BRADY OR ADRIAN PETERSON CAN BEGAN!!!

THE 2013 NFL: NEW LEADERS OF THE SHIELD OR IS IT EARLY?

YES YES YES!!!! The 2013 season has thrown some serious curve balls at all the football fans this year. No one in their minds would of thunk the season would of kicked off in the manner it has. We have the surging Kansas City Chiefs toting a undefeated record still through 6 weeks, the Miami Dolphins with a second place hold for now in the AFC East & and in the AFC North the Cleveland Browns with a 3rd place hold with a 3-3 record which is identical to the defending champions the Baltimore Ravens.

 You may ask why not unveil the rest of the teams? through my eyes these teams have been shaping their squads over the past years to reach this point. This point is to make believers out of their opponents in which they have. Now is this just the first half turtle race for the normal leaders of the shield minus how Denver has been playing or will more underdogs emerge?

HOUSTON WE HAVE A PROBLEM!!!

Houston we have a PROBLEM!!!! I know the football God's are puzzled and stumped right now. After the last few seasons the Texans had we wouldn't of come to the conclusion that their season would be where it is in 2013.  The people of houston are calling for Matt Schaub's head and job!!! I know he has thrown 9 interception and some very pivotal in their losses but do you sit him or let him play through the slump once he get's pass his ankle injury? or does the ROOKIE gets his turn to see if he can blast off in HOUSTON along with YATES?

I want to leave you with one thought.....The Texans lost to the Rams 38-13 and from playing football myself with a score like that how much of it was DEFENSE?
