Ravens: Grinding it

The Ravens didn't exactly get off to an auspicious start, going three and out on their first possession before falling behind on a touchdown pass from Drew Brees to tight end Jimmy Graham, but their second possession was much more impressive.

They ran right at the Saints and moved the ball down the field to set up a nice third-down throw to rookie Ed Dickson on a tight-end delay for Dickson's first NFL TD.

Ravens 7, Saints 7. The Ravens defense has stopped the Saints quickly on two of three New Orleans possessions, which is a pretty good sign, but not as good as the ability of Ray Rice and Willis McGahee to move the chains on the ground. That shortens the game and keeps Brees off the field, which should be Job 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.
