Gee, what a novel concept. Use tight ends to be a security blanket for a shaken rookie.

[Big Texas]

The one thing we could ill afford to do was turn the ball over...and we did it twice...both of which turned into points for the Ravens...

It's going to take a HUUUUUUUGGGGE play to quiet this crowd...

I like that we're running outside. They can't defend that with any regularity.
