So, how are you and other Ravens fans feeling about the matchup in general? Confident? Nervous? Unsure?
Pretty confident. They have a terrific defense... Jim will have those boys ready. But I think we matchup well with Crabtree. We play a similar kind of WR every day in practice with Anquan Boldin. Only Boldin is more physical. Basically defending Crabtree is about YAC. Rarely does our defense give up much of that. I'm most concerned about Vernon Davis as we've struggled leaving TEs open via Pees scheme when he likes to get aggressive up front. I think when Davis is on and motivated fully... He's the best TE in the game. Truly unbelievable athleticism.
I'm also concerned about CK. he's going to be difficult to stop. His legs is a dimension we haven't necessarily gotten a chance to face much. However Courtney Upshaw is a Doberman. He'll be getting his first extended time out there with the 49ers being so run oriented. I like Upshaw and Suggs and their ability to hold the edge and keep proper contain.
Gore worries me some. He's a patient runner who runs physically, but at the same time he doesn't have the quickness of an Arian Foster to exploit the cutback lanes consistently. So if Ngata dominates inside like I think he will I think we can contain Gore and force CK to have to beat us with his legs. Eventually with enough hits on him, he'll think twice about tucking and running knowing Lewis and Pollard are going to be on the other end of those hits.
Against their defense. I don't expect Justin Smith to be 100%... And I think that limits their front 7 some. Aldon Smith is good but you can run on him. And McKinnie has been motivated lately, when he's motivated, he's tough to beat. Smith may win some battles, but I like our chances there. I love our guards vs the run. Don't care what front 7 they face they're nasty. Leach is a torpedo. So I like our ability to establish a running game. And if he pass protection is there, I love Flacco's ability to thread the needle. I'm not overconfident, I never am. But I'm pretty confident in how we matchup. I think all things considered we match up a little better with them then they do against us.
I mean yet to be discussed is special teams. They've had one of the worst coverage units this season. Obviously with higher stakes things could change. And Jacoby has been carry the ball pretty loosely lately.. And that concerns me. But overall we seem to have the more impactful special teams unit on paper. So if our special teams balls out... I really like our chances.
And lastly, it's not a matchup thing, but I also feel like we have more players who want this more. They have more young players experiencing all this for the first time. Their leaders, outside of Smith tend to be young. Our leaders are mostly entering the twilight of their careers. We have former Super Bowl winners, former Super Bowl losers, aged veterans who are on the verge of retirement now or in just a couple seasons. Obviously all the players on both sides want it. But I do feel we have just a little more that our players are playing for. When things get tough out there. We're not just fighting for a Super Bowl. We have guys fighting for their legacies, their teammates legacies. The theme that our guys are using to unify them is that this is their last ride. Boldin mentioned that he's approaching this as if this is his last shot at a Super Bowl. Jacoby Jones will never be able to play another Super Bowl in his hometown most likely. This is Ray Lewis' last game. I can't help but feel like we're struggle for the win just a little more. It may not matter, but even down I can't see this team packing it in, whereas some teams might.
All in all I'm confident that our team should be the more focused team. The only player I worry about is Ray Rice fumbling and Jacoby Jones. Both have proven to handle the big stages in some shaky manners every now and again. I hope neither tries to press the issue and just play their games, but I'm not sure. But we'll see. They could go either way and be just as likely to dominate.

Waiting all year for Ed Dickson to be incorporated into the gameplan. Two Te sets would force Ahmad Brooks & Patrick Willis to drop into space. Finding a way to get Torrey Smith opportunities requires controlling the middle of the field with the Tight Ends.
Boldin won't be an asset unfortunately & Tandon Doss' spot on the roster will be questioned after the game. Jacoby made a tremendous play in Denver but is inconsistent. Disappears at times. Only real threat against strong coverage unit is Torrey Smith. Only guy that consistently beats man coverage.
Bernard Piere I personally think has fresh legs and needs 10-15 carries.
On Defense. Defending the Read Option is going to require player keys & being disciplined. That's been the story of the D through the stretch run. It's going to require Haloti & Maake to hold up at the point of attack. And it might require Cody to be a contributor.
Ed Reed is bound to make a play after a quiet playoffs. Could be the momentum turner.
I'm The guy who got shunned on FFs for arguing J.J. Watt should be selected 1st Overall in the 2011 Draft. I also thought Gabe Carimi would be a Perennial Pro Bowler. Live & Learn

Yea, he's definitely not my favorite in terms of production (I like him on a personal level - as much as one can without actually being acquainted with a player - I just like him). I wouldn't mind seeing us try to extend Pitta and let Dickson walk after next season, his RFA season.

President Obama is staying mum about events about Egypt.
Obama conducted a Cabinet meeting this morning, but White House officials restricted pool coverage to photographers -- and they had access to the Cabinet room for maybe 15 seconds.
So reporters were unable to ask Obama about unrest in Egypt (or any other part of the Middle East for that matter -- King Abudallah of Jordan sacked his entire Cabinet today amid public protests about fuel and food prices).
The president hasn't spoken publicly on Egypt since Friday night, when he urged Hosni Mubarak's government to remedy the legitimate grievances of its people.
While the Cabinet meeting probably covered a variety of topics, it's hard to imagine Egypt did not come up. After all, Obama sat between Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Defense Secretary Robert Gates.
Middle East turmoil could also affect the U.S. economy, particularly oil prices, and that is a major worry for a president already facing a 9.4% unemployment rate.

The Takeaway
Heat and Spurs Superfans Face Off
There was a steamy start to the NBA finals Thursday night when the air-conditioning system failed in San Antonio's AT&T Arena.
Between the sweat and leg cramps, the San Antonio Spurs managed to overtake the Miami Heat in a 110 to 95 win.
Lebron James took out his frustration with his detractors—and faulty air conditioners—on the court last night, scoring 35 points to deliver a win for Miami over San Antonio in Game 2 of the finals.
The series is now tied up, but there's plenty of time left for anything to happen. Two superfans, Jordan Melnick from WLRN in Miami and Giovanna Carrola from KSTX in San Antonio, tell us why their team will win.

Three grads walk away with top honors
Three grads walk away with top honors
May 14, 2001
For the first time in history, the top four student awards were presented today during Austin Peay State University Commencement exercises.
In the past, the Drane Award was the only student award given at graduation, with the Harvill Civitan Award and the Mr. and Madame Governor Awards presented during other end-of-year ceremonies.
The William McClure Drane Award is presented to the student chosen by the APSU faculty as the top baccalaureate graduate. Faculty selection of the recipient of the Harvill Civitan Citizenship Award is based on character, scholarship, leadership and service to the University. Nominees for Mr. Governor and Madame Governor are evaluated on their contributions to APSU through leadership, diversity and service.
Kimberly Grant, Clarksville, was doubly honored, receiving both the coveted Drane Award, as well this year's Madame Governor Award. Michael Wall, Clarksville, was named Mr. Governor. The recipient of the Harvill Civitan Award was Melanie Arnold, Erin.
Grant, the daughter of Danny and Kaye Grant, graduated with a 3.97 GPA, majoring in language and literature with a minor in communication. She was on the Mock Trial Team for four years, serving as team captain, vice president and president. She won many individual awards in regional mock trial competitions, including Best Attorney. She also was assistant coach for the Northeast High School.
Grant was a President's Emerging Leaders Scholar, Dean's List Scholar and a recipient of the Presidential and Claiborne-Woodward scholarships. A Governors Ambassador and Homecoming Queen in 1999, she was a member of Chi Omega Fraternity's local chapter, serving also through the National Panhellenic Council.
A member of the varsity women's tennis team, Grant was named Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year and received the Ohio Valley Conference Academic Medal of Honor.
She was a volunteer for the GORE 2000 Campaign and worked as a White House intern with Vice President and Mrs. Al Gore. She also worked as a volunteer for Flying High, Afternoon with the Arts and the Read Aloud Program.
Grant participated in study-abroad opportunities in England and Quebec. She was a member of several honoraries, including Phi Kappa Phi, Omicron Delta Kappa, Sigma Tau Delta English Honorary and Laurel Wreath.
This year's Mr. Governor, Michael Wall, is the son of Carl and Sue Wall of Clarksville. A political science major, he completed undergraduate coursework in December and has been working in the state legislature in Nashville.
During APSU's annual Awards Day in late April, Wall received a fellowship from the National Lambda Delta Academic Honor Societyóone of only 20 students nationwide selected to receive this prestigious award.
The $3,000 fellowship will be used to attend law school. Although Wall has been accepted to several law schools, he is waiting until all letters of acceptance are received before he decides where he will enroll.
Wall was president of the Student Government Association (SGA) during his senior year at Austin Peay. As such, he was appointed by Austin Peay's president to serve as the student representative on several campus committees. As SGA representative on the President's Cabinet, he garnered the respect of other Cabinet members, including Dr. Ronald Gupton, professor of mathematics, who represented the faculty as Faculty Senate president on the Cabinet.
In his letter of nomination, Gupton wrote: "I am impressed by how broad (Michael's) interests are and the high quality of his work. For one to be as involved outside the classroom as Michael has been and to produce near perfect scholarly work is truly extraordinary."
Melanie Arnold, daughter of Mary and Barry Arnold of Erin, earned a baccalaureate degree in nursing. She was a Dean's List Scholar and Academic Honors recipient. She received the Gateway Medical Center Scholarship, Martha Caldwell Charlet Scholarship and the Goodlark Educational Foundation Scholarship.
She served a two-year term as president of the Student Nurses Association (SNA) and was a delegate to the Tennessee Association of Student Nurses and a volunteer for the National Student Nurses Association Convention. In addition to numerous church-related activities, Arnold was a member of the University Programming Council. A varsity cheerleader for one year, she played several intramural sports.
Her list of community projects includes performing with the Christians in Action Community Choir and working with the SNA's Red River Project, Food Drive and Distribution project and Help-an-Elf program.

The books in this week's Professor Parsons' Picks section of the Friends of the A.K. Smiley Public Library's silent auction are "Assaying in Three Parts, Volume 1" by C. H. Aaron, "Author's Choice" by MacKinlay Kantor, "A Puritan in Babylon" by William Allen White, "Mary Queen of Scots" by Alphonse de Lamartine, "The Book of Indian Braves" by Kate Dickinson Sweetser and "A Little Queen of Hearts" by Ruth Ogden.
Ted Parsons, Friends of the Library volunteer and head of the Friends' antiquarian book committee, selects the books for their collectability and affordability. The books are up for bids until 1 p.m. Tuesday in the silent auction area of the A.K. Smiley Public Library, 125 W. Vine St., Redlands.
Following are Parsons' descriptions of the books and his comments.
The discovery of gold in 1848 at Sutter's Mill marked the beginning of the California Gold Rush and with it, the necessity to assay the quality of the precious metal. To answer that need, "Assaying in Three Parts, Volume 1: Gold and Silver" (second edition) was published in San Francisco in 1889. This slim volume gives detailed instructions in the procedures used for assaying ore in the 1880s. Also of interest are the advertisements at the end of the book — their illustrations and printing styles offer glimpses into the commercial and scientific life of the day.
The dealer price is $27, and the opening bid is $7.
Prolific writer MacKinlay Kantor (1904-1977) is the author of "Author's Choice," a collection of short stories by the Pulitzer Prize winner. Kantor made this selection of 40 short stories especially for an anthology.
The Armed Forces Press first published "Author's Choice" for World War II servicemen. This hardbound edition was published for the "home market." Kantor wrote more than 30 novels, including "Andersonville" and "Valley Forge" (1975). He also wrote a variety of screenplays ("The Best Years of Our Lives"), television plays and scripts.
The dealer price is $17 to $25, and the minimum bid is $7.
Mary Queen of Scots is the subject of the biography of the same name by Alphonse de Lamartine (1790-1869). It was first published in 1860 and then reissued in 1890 as part of the Riverside Biographical Series by Houghton Mifflin. This 1890 volume is scarce and very collectible.
The author, Lamartine, was a French writer, poet and politician. He was instrumental in the founding of the Second Republic of France. His "Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots" is written from the point of view of a devout French Catholic who sees the hapless Mary as an innocent victim of circumstances larger than she can control. It is very interesting to contrast this sympathetic biography with those written by English authors.
The dealer price is $23, and the bidding opens at $7.
U.S. President Calvin Coolidge is the subject of "A Puritan in Babylon" by William Allen White. It was published in 1938, five years into the presidency of Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
White wrote, "No other president in our day and time has had such close, such continuous, such successful relations with the electorate as Coolidge had."
W.H. White (1868-1944) was a renowned American newspaper editor, politician and author who became the iconic spokesman for middle America. He was a friend of Teddy Roosevelt and a supporter of FDR'S New Deal.
This very interesting and personal book about Coolidge is well worth reading and is also very collectible.
The dealer price is $20 to $40, and the minimum bid is $7.
The third biography in this week's auction is "The Book of Indian Braves" by Kate Dickinson Sweetser. It was published in 1913 and contains eight biographies of famous American Indian tribal leaders — Powhatan, Osceda, Sequoyah, Philip of the Wampanoags, Joseph of the Nez Perces, Sitting Bull and Pontiac.
The book is enhanced by romantic etchings illustrating an event in each chief's life. The chiefs represented in this interesting volume are known at least by name to American students who take their required courses in U.S. history. These are the chiefs around whom legends have been built, thus making them international Native American icons and epitomizing the qualities of strength, forbearance, ferocity, leadership and wisdom.
The dealer price is $25 to $69, and the minimum bid is $8.
"A Little Queen of Hearts" by Ruth Ogden, with 50 illustrations by H.A. Ogden, was published in 1893. It is a story written for young readers. This is the story of Harold, a student at Eton, who writes to an uncle in the United States and requests that he and his family sail to Britain to visit and assuage his loneliness.
Thus, his Uncle Fritz, Aunt Lou and cousins Ted and Maria-Celeste cross the ocean on a White Star Liner and settle in for a summer visit. During the visit, the cousins have their adventures including a chance meeting with Queen Victoria.
This is a sentimental tale of Victorian England, rich in detail of the land, customs and characters. It is charmingly illustrated with numerous black-and-white engravings, which themselves are worth the price of the book.
The dealer price is $25 to $35, and the minimum bid is $7.
All proceeds from the Friends of the Library auction go to help support the A.K. Smiley Public Library.

2012 Update: I doubt that you'll find anybody to argue that the world lost one of its great imaginations when Jim Henson died. Since he departed, The Jim Henson Company has continued to do admirable work, but its feature films have been hit-and-miss affairs.Unfortunately, MirrorMask, the company's most wildly imaginative post-Henson release, remains fairly obscure.
