not really

4 of our 5 offensive lineman are hurt,2 of them are out for sure,the other 2 might play hurt

i expect our offense to struggle like they've been doing all year

i am looking forward to seeing if our defense can hold up against that oline and running game though

our defense is currently ranked #1 overall and #1 against the run so this sunday should show us if our D is really legit

Bart Scott responds to Ray criticizing Joe

“How many times are they going to keep letting Ray Lewis off the hook?” Scott asked on CBS Sports Radio’s Gio and Jones. “He already dissed Ray Rice when Ray Rice went through his situation. Now he’s dissing Flacco? Come on, man. You got that ring on your finger because of Flacco. See, that’s what I don’t like. You’re either with me or you’re not. If you’re a teammate, you’ve never heard me say nothing bad about Ray Rice, nothing bad of Flacco. Come on, man. That’s brother-on-brother crime right there. He’s supposed to be better than that. He’s supposed to be from the old school. You never come out publicly against one of your boys. Come on, man. You’re killing me.”

“Joe Flacco was a great teammate,” Scott said. “He was a great rookie. Come on, Ray. You’re supposed to be better than that. You’re supposed to be from the old school. You’re supposed to be the people that set the rules about how to be a great teammate. This is what happens: You get on the other side, and you got to say something, right? You got to say something because you got to make a splash. People put pressure on you to make a splash. When the Ray Rice situation came out, (media) tried to get me to go against my brother – and I wouldn’t, and it shocked them. But that’s what teammates do – because that’s family. You don’t come out against your brother. You got an issue with his leadership skills and all that stuff, you go talk to him. That’s what real men do. You don’t do that. That’s whack right there, Ray.”

First time I've ever heard Ray speak out on Flacco and everything he said is true

Flacco has the talent but he lacks the passion for the game to really be great

He's 100% right. I hate Flacco's whole demeanor - it's why he's not the real leader of the team and never will be. He doesn't inspire teammates.

No one is asking him to be Ray, Suggs or Smith but he just lacks the ability to make guys, especially young players, rally around him. Just look at how lackadaisical the offense is at times. That sort of fire is the difference between winning and losing close games.

To me its not even about his personality or how he inspires other

Its his lack of passion for the game and desire for greatness it takes to put in the extra time and work it takes to be great in the NFL

To me Flacco has never shown passion for the game or a desire to be the best

He strikes me as one of those who look at the game as just a job and once he punches the clock at the end of the day he doesn't even think about "work" until its time to go in the next day

Its like the old saying goes "Hard work only beats talent when talent doesn't work hard"

Flacco has always had the talent but he doesn't put in the work to be great

Took the words out of my mouth. His whole demeanor is just lacking. Especially given what they need out of him.
