Seneca Wallace's mistake shows that rustiness can be mental as well as physical.
View full sizePeyton Hillis ran for 112 yards on Saturday against the Ravens.Offense: Peyton Hillis had his first 100-yard game and Carlton Mitchell had his first two catches of the season. But the brownout at the end of the first half obscured everything. Pat Shurmur was calling for Seneca Wallace to spike the ball to stop the clock. Wallace didn't hear him, but he should have known to do that. Bottom line: Rustiness can be mental as well as physical.
Defense: After giving up the first five third-down conversions, they held Joe Flacco to 2-of-12 the rest of the way. Ravens had only 111 yards and five first downs in the second half. Linebacker D'Qwell Jackson was beaten for two touchdown passes in first half. Phil Taylor's jump offsides at the end sealed the loss. Bottom line: Tale of two halves.
Special teams: Josh Cribbs' 84-yard punt return for a touchdown was sweet, coming against former Browns special teams guru Jerry Rosburg. Cribbs had great blocking and just had to make the punter miss early. Brad Maynard averaged a net 41.8 yards on six punts. Bottom line: Clear victory.
Coaching: Pat Shurmur will take the fall for the first-half screwup with fans. He didn't call the handoff to Peyton Hillis with time running out. Shurmur blamed himself for not communicating better to Seneca Wallace to clock the ball. Bottom line: It's all a learning experience.
