Battle of the Beltways: Ravens win 27-0

Ravens destroyed the skins last Friday with a 27-0 win at home to start the 2009-2010 year. The pre-season game gave some players the chance to get on the field & show what their capable of, as well as giving the starters a little warm up before they have to face some "real competition". Over all it was a good game, Paul Kruger (who's recently become a target from Rex Ryan for taking number 99, Michael McCrarey's old number) showed real potential & proved he may be worth keeping on the field for the whole season. We saw passing from all 3 QB's Flacco, Smith & veteran John Beck, with 15 different recievers making receptions. The defense, that seemed to have left with Rex, proved they still are here, only allowing one Redskins drive to last over 22 yards & a 58-yard march that ended in a lost fumble. This test was a good practice to try the whole team's capabilites & see what kind of talent we have to work with. Next we'll get the chance to shut ol' Rex up, we play the Jets Monnday 08/24 @ 5pm Pacific. Let's show him we now have offense that can stop his defense & a defense that doesn't need him to succeed.
