    At this point I think we are all hoping that Ben isn't seriously injured, however if he can't go Sunday night I feel alot better about Batch starting over Lefty. I think CB can execute the short passing game better, his throwing motion will be less of an old fashion wind up and they might be able to convince the Ravens that they are going to throw it instead allowing them to stack the box against the run.

    I was about to start a post stating the same thing. I just don't see Lefty being better than Batch.

    Lets just hope the running game gets back on track next week. Looked bad again tonight, but lets hope it was a good KC run D and the Ravens run D stinks as they have all year.

    I also agree. Our dink and dunk offense does not set up well for Lefty. I also like the idea of having them both practice with the 1st team all week just so the Ratbirds do not know who to prepare for. But let's hope that Ben is not hurt too bad and can play at least one of these games against them.

    That would be a great way to confuse them but I think whoever is getting the nod will need to get some quality reps with the first team.
