Official Texans vs. Ravens Game Thread, 10/21/2012

A couple of random thoughts...

Did the Ravens make a single tackle today that didn't involve the defender wrapping both arms around the helmet? Terrible tackling form and it played a big role in Foster's escape act first down runs.

Kevin Walter has been very good this year.

The rest of the defense showed up with Watt today. Joseph was still not Joseph, but oddly they rarely tested him deep and let him instead get physical with a non-physical WR (Smith) on short stuff. A great job from him of playing well when he is not at his best.

Mercilous needs more snaps.

I think we finally saw what a total effort out of this team looks like.

Marcus Pollard has always been dirty, but playing for Baltimore has somehow allowed him to get dirtier. He is nearing Roman Harper territory.
