Raiders first into end zone...

but it's not what you think. JaMarcus Russell just dropped back into the end zone and linebacker Jameel McClain just dropped him for a safety, the Ravens defense making a big statement during the first two Raiders possessions.

Looks like it's going to be an interesting day. The Ravens just lined up with Troy Smith in the shotgun and Joe Flacco out wide to the left, but they didn't snap the ball. The play clock was too far down and Troy had to call a timeout. If nothing else, it gave the Oakland coaching staff something to think about.

Hey Pete,
I like JaMarcus Russell's physical stature. As a Ravens life long fan, I see a little Boller in him. This is his second year in the league and some of his throws were wide of receivers or at their feet.

Comparing where Flacco is with Russell, I will take Flacco any day.

About Peter Schmuck

Peter Schmuck wants you to know that, contrary to popular belief, he is more than just a bon vivant, raconteur and collector of blousy flowered shirts. He is a semi-respected journalist who has covered virtually every sport -- except luge, of course – and tackled issues that transcend the mere games people play. If that isn’t enough to qualify him to provide witty, wide-ranging commentary on the sports world ... and the rest of the world, for that matter ... he is an avid reader of history, biography and the classics, as well as a charming blowhard who pops off on both sports and politics on WBAL Radio. That means you can expect a little of everything in The Schmuck Stops Here, but the major focus will be keeping you up to the minute on Baltimore’s major sports teams and themes, whether it’s throwing up the Orioles lineup the minute it’s announced or updating you on the latest sprained ankle in Owings Mills. Oh, and by the way, that’s Mr. Schmuck to you.
