Rookie Ray Rice moves the chains in lots of ways

It's interesting the way that the Ravens are using rookine RB back Ray Rice. On Baltimore's last offensive possession of the first half, Rice was a receiver on a 14-yard first-down completion where he eluded Raiders' LB Kirk Morrison. Then, he sprung for an eight-yard rushing gain that moved the ball to the Ravens' 44-yard line. And finally, he was the back end of an option play with Troy Smith contributing 19 yards of a 21-yard gain. The drive ended with Matt Stover kicking a 38-yard field goal for a 19-0 halftime lead.

Chris who? Football more than any other sport is a team game. Time to move him out next year. 32 yr old injury prone selfish CBs are not needed.

This was an awesome game, and put to rest the offensive doldrums that we suffered through with Billick. Boring, it was NOT!
Kudos to the coaching staff and players for successfully shaking things up.
