Ravens: Secondary springs a leak

If you weren't worried about the supposedly toothless Steelers, you can start worrying now. Dennis Dixon just completed a couple of long passes, the second a 33-yard scoring strike to Santonio Holmes to tie the game.

The Ravens have had secondary issues throughout their 2-5 slump, and the ease with which Dixon hit Hines Ward for 19 yards with Dawan Landry in unsuccessful pursuit, then caught Dominique Foxworth toe-tied on the touchdown, doesn't exactly instill confidence that the Ravens will have an easy time improving to 6-5.

explain to me how Foxworth cannot know the fundamentals of playing DB! How can you turn your back on a simple freaking post route. That was so embarrassing. I'm ashamed he is from Maryland.

Don't worry, he only has $16.5 million guaranteed.

It's painful to watch, so now I'm watching The Santa Claus.

Anyone else tired of watching this team get outcoached each week?

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.
