Halftime Harbaugh

John Harbaugh seemed very pleased with both of the quarterbacks in the first half, applauding the two-minute execution by Troy Smith that resulted in a touchdown pass to Justin Harper with just seconds left before intermission.

"That's the way to finish a half -- get the turnover and then a touchdown...How about that?'' he said. "That last drive is a pressure situation and we practice it all the time. Troy executed it well. I'm happy for him and really happy for Harp, who came back to score the touchdown."

Offensive coordinator Cam Cameron agreed: "The two-minute drive by Troy and the guys we had out there was outstanding -- just very well executed. Good for Troy."

What about the pass-to-rush ratio? Is this a new pass-happy Ravens team?

Pete's reply: Looks to me like they're just trying to get all the receiver candidates involved right away.

Good thing Harper did catch that TD pass, considering he dropped two very big catchable passes earlier in the drive.

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.
