SetzerFalcon Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Man, we ALWAYS play the Ravens in preseason, lol. And hey the Lions! They'll probably win, I mean they DID go 4-0 in preseason last year which led to great things for them in the regular season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Zanzibar Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Do we put in Ryan to get him warmed up? Or do we play Shockley and Redman so they remember what throwing a football feels like?Or maybe we split it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmike811 Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 How is it that the Ravens continue to show up on the pre-season schedule?Teams are allowed some control over the preseason schedule, particularly the last game. There's a long-standing, home-and-home relationship between the Falcons and Ravens that continues. Other teams do the same thing (Denver and Arizona for instance).

mcwheesus Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 "For the last preseason game, lets put the two teams with 2nd year quarterbacks against each other to finally determine who is better!"

Shaggy 2.0 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Do we put in Ryan to get him warmed up? Or do we play Shockley and Redman so they remember what throwing a football feels like?Or maybe we split it.Ryan is THE STARTER. He will be treated like the starting QB is in every preseason. he will probably get most if not all his playing time in the Ravens game. the ravens will probably be starting their whole 1st string for at least a quarter(matt will probably play the whole first half of that game to get his legs and arms ready.

House Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I hope the coverage this year is better than the coverage last year. Last year it was like watching the game on a cell phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
