Ravens: On a roll

The Ravens are giving the defending Super Bowl champions a lesson in offensive football, mixing the run and the pass very efficiently on the way to a 21-7 lead in the second quarter. Ray Rice has been all over the place, scoring on a 10-yard run and catching a 17-yard TD pass from Joe Flacco.

The last touchdown was set up by a nice punt return by Lardarius Webb to start the possession in Saints territory.

Of course, it's still the first half and the Saints are one of the most explosive teams in the NFL. There's also the small matter of the way the Ravens played with a big lead against the Houston Texans in the second half, so we'll just have to wait and see what happens, but the offense has been executing very well and the defense has held Drew Brees in check so far.

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.
