lol owe me a cokeNext time I'm in Norman, you got it!
At this point, is Torain's roster spot really guaranteed? I guess it is based on last year but so far Hightower, Helu, Royster, and even Droughns (I probably didn't spell any of those names correctly) looked pretty damn good and I think the coaching staff seems to like K. Williams. Can we really keep that many decent running backs?

not a whole lot of airing it out but i think this was more a test of can he execute the offense and keep it moving and he definitely proved that. I was impressed by his mobility, dude's got some wheels which opened up some underneath stuff late in the second half

Fewer Beck Hatters on the twittersphere.

I'm behind in watching the game right now, currently in the second quarter. Beck seems erratic to me, almost like a bystander in the plays. He seems to be able to find the passing windows because it never seems like he's going to get it over the line. His receivers seem to be helping him out a lot by being incredibly sure-handed.
I can't tell what John Beck is doing well enough so that he's moving the ball with so much ease. That doesn't mean he's not doing anything well, I just can't seem to explain why he's successful. But I'll take it.
He makes a really good throw to Austin against Powers, one of the better CBs in football, in blanket coverage.
I think Beck sees the field better out of the gun. If so, that's not surprising.

Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself, but for game three (the big preseason game) who gets the start? Beck or Grossman? Either way, you'd have to assume the Raven's D will be a good test.

Yes looked like a Hungry young team
Yo bud, I would take that over a bunch of over paid vets!
Seems to me that we have a good solid foundation of experience and youth. I was shocked at the way some of the national media said we did poorly in FA. From the get go it seemed as though we were adding the right guys at a good price.

I think wwe have two guys who can play QB. Maybe neither is a top 10 QB but with a healthy cast of offensive weapons and a decent line either one can probably be a middle of the pack guy and not lose games. I'm not sure DMc last year bought into the scheme enough to do that. Not that he doesn't have the talent but I don't think he was willing to do things a different way.

Was wondering the same thing. There is a lot you can learn about a guy against that D. Do you give Beck the start knowing what you have in Grossman? To me this is the right move. Give beck the ball and see what happens. They have game tape of Rex, they need some on Beck if they are going to make the right decision on who starts vs NY on 9/11.
