Flacco talks
Ravens QB Joe Flacco seemed to enjoy his first taste of 2009 competition. He was 9 for 15 for 103 yards in a little more than a quarter.
"It felt great to be out there,'' he said at halftime. "As an offense, everything felt really good. I was happy with the way our receivers and running backs were moving. Our line did a heck of a job for being their first time out there. I didn't have to do anything but sit in the pocket and make throws. I think this was a pretty good first outing so far. We'll go back and look at the film and see what we have to clean up now."
Flacco on top draft choice Michael Oher: "I didn't feel any pressure. From what I hear from the guys on the sideline, he is doing a great job. He was nasty out there, which is what I like to see. If he keeps that up, he'll be fine."
Comments
Hopefully tonight will be an indicator of what's to come this season. It didn't look like Flacco has skipped a beat from last season - the best throw of the day came on the pass drop by Marcus Smith with Joe Cool stepping up in the pocket between two rushers and delivering the ball in between three defensive backs. What a beautiful play, And Michael Oher looks as advertised...

In the preseason, you've always gotta look at what *almost* happened. With that in mind, Jon's right about the toss from Joe.
Minor bummer that Oher had to take a breather to get the stitches/cut treatment. But there was plenty on film to suggest that the guy is going to be a real beast.
