I’ll be making my first trip to Cleveland this Sunday and I’m hearing from some of the guys that the fans are pretty loud and crazy. That’s good. I really liked playing in that kind of atmosphere in Pittsburgh earlier this year. Obviously our fans in Baltimore are great to us and they’re really loud — but they’re also rooting for us when we’re at home. I have a feeling they won’t be rooting for us in Cleveland but we’ll go in there and play hard like always.
I keep on getting great protection from the line and the running backs and tight ends who are doing the blocking up front. I know I say it every week but they are one of the biggest reasons why I’ve played the first seven weeks without any serious bumps or bruises.
We know this is a big game because it’s a division rival and we’ve won a couple in a row now so we want to keep building on that momentum. We’ll be ready. Who knows, we might even have a few more fun plays to throw out there on Sunday.
I hope my alma mater, Delaware, can turn it around and finish their football season on a good note. They play Towson next weekend, which is always fun at UD because Towson brings some fans and the game has developed into a pretty good rivalry. The CAA is turning out a lot of good teams these days. It looks like 4 or maybe even 5 teams might make it into the playoffs from the CAA this year. Maybe I’ll check out Delaware when they play basketball at Towson this winter. I went to a handful of the men’s games when I was in school at UD and attended a lot of the women’s games.
I was glad to see the Phillies win the World Series in Philadelphia. It’s good to win the championship anywhere, obviously, but since there hasn’t been a title in Philly since 1980, it was good that the home fans got to experience the whole thing there last night.
Have a great weekend and I’ll check in with Drew on Tuesday morning at 8:30 am.
