It wouldn't be an understatement to say the Oakland Raiders got run out of Baltimore.The Ravens trampled the NFL's 31st-ranked rushing defense Cheap C.J. Mosley Jersey , piling up 242 yards on the ground Sunday in a 34-17 victory that only magnified the Raiders' defensive shortcomings.It didn't matter that Baltimore was starting a rookie quarterback in Lamar Jackson, or had a backfield that included undrafted rookie free agent Gus Edwards. Jackson's ability to use his feet kept Oakland guessing and Edwards rushed for 118 yards, his second 100-yard game in as many weeks."When you can establish the inside run, the perimeter offense, all the bells and whistles with Jackson, they're very hard to defend," Raiders coach Jon Gruden said. "You've got to stop the inside run or you have no chance to stop everything else."The Raiders (2-9) were right there with the Ravens until the third quarter. Baltimore took the kickoff and ground out a 13-play drive that featured 12 runs, lasted nearly seven minutes and ended with a 5-yard touchdown run by Jackson for a 20-10 lead.Oakland answered with a touchdown, but had no response to Baltimore's next run-heavy march 鈥?a 17-play marathon that lasted 8 minutes, 53 seconds and stretched into the fourth quarter."They took over the game," Gruden said. "Credit to them."The Raiders knew Jackson was going to run. The 2016 Heisman Trophy winner at Louisville can throw the ball well enough http://www.ravenscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-alex-collins-jersey , but his strength is in his legs."We were prepared for that, but it's just about execution," Oakland linebacker Marquel Lee said. "We have to execute better as a whole. We gave up too many big plays, and that's what ended up hurting us. We didn't stop the run well today. We've got to go back to the drawing board and fix it."The Raiders did get two interceptions, one apiece by Marcus Gilchrist and Reggie Nelson , but Jackson threw for 178 yards and a score in his second NFL start.When on offense, the Raiders turned to quarterback Derek Carr to keep pace with Baltimore's relentless attack.Unfortunately, the offense line couldn't give him ample space and time to find receivers. Carr was 16 of 34 for 194 yards and a touchdown, but was sacked on three consecutive fourth-quarter plays by Matthew Judon, the first resulting in Terrell Suggs' 43-yard fumble return for a TD."I don't ever remember that happening before," Carr said of the sack-sack-sack sequence.Carr hobbled off the field with a tender ankle Brandon Williams Jersey , the results of the beating he took from the league's top-ranked defense. But he vowed to return next Sunday for a grudge match against the Kansas City Chiefs."I can tell you right now, I am playing next week," he declared. "I am not sure what it will feel like, but I will be out there on the field." Great TV happens when analysts with strong opinions engage in an authentic, genuine debate. As long as no one gets physically assaulted. (More on that later.)On Thursday night, NFL Network analysts Michael Irvin and Steve Smith ended up in an on-air r茅sum茅-measuring contest, sparked by a comment from Irvin that Smith regarded as a sign of disrespect.Said Irvin, channeling Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco, “The last time I really had me one of those 鈥業 trust you receivers鈥?that was Anquan Boldin and that was 2012 and I took him to the Super Bowl.”Smith, who spent three years after 2012 with the Ravens, took exception.“So you鈥檙e telling me they ain鈥檛 had a wide receiver since Anquan?” Smith said.Irvin tried to backpedal by blaming the oversight on Smith’s injuries.“But Steve you played there then got hurt and he had to go through it Cheap Joe Flacco Jersey ,” Irvin said. “But you talked about it. Those injuries. I鈥檓 with you on that.”That didn’t placate Smith, and for good reason. He generated more than 1,000 receiving yards with the Ravens in 2014.“I understand you have the rings, but I passed you statistically years ago,” Smith said, emphasizing the word “years.” (And he’s right; Smith is No. 8 on the all-time receiving yardage list. Irvin sits at No. 27.)“Hold on,” Irvin said, “I got enough rings to let all of y鈥檃ll borrow one and still have some.”“I concur and I agree with your rings,” Smith said. “But at the same time, it ain鈥檛 no route I couldn鈥檛 run that you hoped you could run. . . . I got a doctorate in route running . . . You got an associate鈥檚 degree [from] community college.”That was the end of it, at least for now. If both will be on site for NFL Network Thursday night pregame shows this year http://www.ravenscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-tony-jefferson-jersey , it quite possibly will continue. And it could be something that spills over to the off-air segments.Which would make it prudent to keep the cameras rolling. Either, as mentioned on Friday’s PFT Live, for entertainment value or for evidentiary purposes in any eventual civil or criminal proceedings.That’s not a joke, though I wish it were. As explained in the first chapter of Jeff Pearlman’s Boys Will Be Boys, Irvin once stabbed a Cowboys teammate in the neck with scissors. And Smith on at least two occasions sucker punched a Carolina teammate. (They were Anthony Bright in 2002 and Ken Lucas in 2008.)While Irvin has considerably mellowed, Smith seems to be every bit as feisty as he was as a player. If Irvin presses the right button, NFL Network may be televising an unplanned episode of Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots.
