The Schmuck Stops Here: Some razzle and some dazzle - Some say it’s better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than open it and remove all doubt. I disagree.

Some razzle and some dazzle

Joe Flacco just hooked up with Derrick Mason for 43 yards to the Jets 3 yard line, then pulled a nifty pump fake and behind the back handoff to Ray Rice for the touchdown. The Ravens now lead, 14-0, which the defense remains unscored upon in the preseason.

It wasn't a particularly clean start for Flacco, because the Jets brought pressure throughout the first Ravens offensive series, but when Mason got loose, Flacco delivered a perfect strike. The cumulative score of the preseason so far:

Ravens 37, Redskins/Jets 0. Looks like they might have to polish up another game ball for new defensive coordinator Greg Mattison.

Is it really all that hard to defend against two offensively challenged teams? What happens when they play the Steelers or Dolphins or Patriots?

Chuck,

I guess you've been comatose for the last 10+ years. What happens when the Ravens defense plays good offenses is they shut them down. Welcome to the world. Hope you are a Ravens fan because this season's going to be a good one.

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.
