Nothing too major in this article, but the Titans are preparing for Troy.

Titans defense prepares for Baltimore's Wildcat formation | www.tennessean.com | The Tennessean

Basically just gives Troy some props for being in some big-time games in his football career, and acknowledges the fact that he's going to take some snaps in the Wildcat.

It'd be nice to see him throw a few TDs and steal that starting job back..

Would be nice, but wishful thinking. But if he catches/throws one or two in this game that would be awesome though. I hope he gets more than the one play like he did @ MIA last week.

6 minutes left in the game, where is Troy at? Hasn't been on the field once, and I haven't even seen him on the sideline.

typically the backup QB doesn't get many snaps, and they aren't featured on the sideline....

I noticed him running into the locker room at halftime.

The Raven's offense is ridiculously boring. There only O has come on some great catches by the WRs.

But typically guys that have a special part of the playbook designed for them get at least one or two plays in the game.

not since early December.....Troy got one snap last week, and it went for 1 yard. His special package has dwindled as Flacco has proven he can handle the offense.

 

[corwinator3407]

Both Flacco's big throws were only converted due to great catches by the receivers. He underthrew both of them. He's still garbage IMO, but that's beside the point.

 

[Buckeneye]

eh... he's had some moments of good and bad just like any other QB.

Fact is, Troy isn't your proto-typical "NFL caliber" QB according to many, so naturally if the rookie doesn't hand the opposition the game, he'll be kept in.


Damn shame it is, I really hope Troy somehow ends up in Cleveland, if Brady is injury prone and Anderson doesn't work out, I want a compitent QB to run my offense.

He's looked much better than garbage, considering he's a rookie..

Exactly..

still not impressed with Flacco to be honest... he's throwing just as many INT's as TD's, and I don't care what year he is the INT/TD rate is way too high for me. It's a shame Troy got sick because any QB could've helped this team win this year. With the defense they have the only thing Flacco had to do was just take the ball and hand it off or try not and [censored] it up.


Troy doesn't get the Ravens anymore wins/loses but he probably IMO improves the offense. Flacco was handed the job by lack of options.


(can anyone tell I wanted Troy to start) haha...

 

[3074326]

14 TDs, 5 INts since week 7.. (including playoffs)

 

[Sportsbuck28]

Flacco's a damn good QB...

Troy's time will come. It may not be with the Ravens, but some team in need of a QB will give him a chance...

Please John Fox, trade for Troy Smith.

I don't care for Flacco. Not one bit. And [censored] the Ravens. I get why they let Flacco have the job - he started hot and was paid the big bucks. But [censored] them for not playing Troy in garbage time during the season.

The only Bengals game I was in Ohio to see on television was Bengals-Ravens. Ravens had the game won with plenty of time left to give Troy a few drives but kept Flacco in. You can say they left Flacco in to get him experience, but that's BS. They already had a QB controversy earlier in the season regarding Troy and didn't want him to have the chance to have a few badass drives to stir it up again. What extra experience was Flacco going to get off the Bengals secondary in a done deal? Troy gets only a couple pass attempts all season? [censored] that.

I was pulling for the Ravens to win b/c I hate Pittsburgh and I had slim hopes that Troy could make into a game. But for the Ravens to lose on Flacco's rookie mistake INT was as good as it could get if Pitt had to win.
