the ravens converted for the first down, michael oher pancaked renaldo wynn of the redskins, oher has now gone into the locker room for medical treatment. the ravens now facing a third and 3. flacco to throw, end zone, incomplete. wanted derrick mason a yard deep. d'angelo hall appeared to get a hand on it and breaks it up. so the opening drive of the season ends in frustration, where? in the red zone. >> stan: yes. this is just a quick timing pass, he's going to try to get it to him in that zone, in between zones, but defensive back made a great break on the football and got his hand on it. >> gerry: steven hauschka 1 for 2 last year, from 54. this one from 21 and it is good. so steven hauschka puts the ravens on the board first in the preseason. >> stan: you like those tap-ins to start, don't you. >> gerry: if you're a kicker you do. the ravens strike first with 6:15 to play. john harbaugh has his first lead to operate with. though i'm sure he was hoping to see a drive that was that impressive conclude with a touchdown. >> stan: it's a shame, because on the play, the third -- second down play, they had todd heap matched up against the defensive lineman andre carter and carter just pulled him down. you could see john harbaugh yelling at the official about it. but it didn't get the call and a lot of times you don't get the call down there because everything's so congested, the officials just don't see it. >> gerry: the ravens go 13 plays, 67 yards and they cover the 67 yards in five minutes and 47 seconds. we ask you, who will lead the ravens in rushing yards this year? text a, b, or c, standard message rates apply. we want to know what you think about the ravens running game. rod cart right will be deep awaiting the kick by steven hauschka. the kick will be taken at the 2. to the 20, and he'll be taken down at the 23-yard line. good coverage by the ravens. gerard, a rookie free agent in on the stop. >> stan: also edgar jones did a good job of fending off his blocker. elves the first guy to make contact to slow up the returners and allow everybody else to converge on him. we hadn't seen the new car for no wedge yet. >> gerry: the throw off of play action for first down. he's got his man, antwaan randle el out at the 38-yard line. the redskins open up the drive with another first down. >> stan: first down passing. they must know they can't run when they want to run. so they're going to try to run when it's to their advantage. last time they ran and didn't get anything, then the second time they ran was against the ravens nickel defense when they had one less linebacker. they tried to run. even that wasn't effective. >> gerry: first and 10 washington from the 38. betts loses his footing as he tried to cut back. had a little bit of a hole there but can't hit it. having landry back in the secondary, what a big plus for the ravens. rob, dial us up your defensive keys tonight. >> the first preseason game, there's not as much keys as it is goals. the first one is to get the established guys in and out unscathed. you want to get your quality veterans in there. >> gerry: campbell draw play, and it will only meat couple of yards. go back down to rob burnett after a 2-yard game for washington. >> you want to get your quality veterans out before anything happens to them. you want to give your backups good time. they'll probably get two, two and a half quarters each. then you want to find out what your young guys and free agents have. you want see what kind of fire, what kind of intensity they have when the lights are on. >> gerry: on that last tackle, taveras gooden, now the ravens will go with five defensive backs. here it comes. campbell did pick up the blitz and it falls incomplete. barnes providing the hit on jason campbell. in the year after rex ryan leaves, no, the ravens will not get conservative. they will stay aggressive under greg mattison. they had chris carr coming on the blitz, they had barnes providing the pressure. the ravens do what the ravens have done so many years in a row, make life miserable for the quarterback. >> they do, they put pressure on him. >> gerry: chris carr deep awaiting to the -- the punt, just inside the 20-yard line. >> gerry: penalty flag on that punt. hunter smith staying on the field. chris carr is trotting off. you have to think perhaps this might be against the ravens. >> during the kick, holding, number 53 receiving team. it will be a 10-yard penalty from the end of the kick. it will be first down. time-out. @o@o@o ♪ ♪ (announcer) it's right here, it's easy... ♪ i always feel like ♪ ...it's the money you could be saving with geico. ♪ somebody's watching me. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ who's watching?

no...i love it! >> gerry: no dramatic moments yet for ed reed and the ravens, though he has figured into this rivalry in the past. some of the better ravens, redskins moments. ed reed tripping mark brunell of the ball. taking it in for a touchdown. if you think that was the greatest moment in history, go to baltimore ravens.com and register your vote. on first down, joe flacco completes the pass to derrick mason out at the 17-yard line. that will set up a second down and short yardage. cam cameron has really talked highly about the way joe flacco has taken control of the huddle this year. we saw so much of him in the plays last year, but i think huddle etiquette, if you want to call it or huddle. >> stan: control. >> gerry: is a big thing for veterans to see in their quarterback. >> stan: hardest thing for a rookie. that's why the no huddle is easier for a rookie than the huddle is. >> gerry: kelly washington, has a first down out at the 33-yard line. kelley washington spent the last two years with the new england patriots, joe flacco liked having that big slot target. >> stan: he's a big guy. he's been on two teams, cincinnati and new england, he knows what team is all about, he is on the opposite end of spectrum with what team is with those two franchises. >> gerry: gets out to the 40- yard line before justin tryon can make the sack. that means the ravens are getting things done if you're getting the secondary to make the tackles, your offense is clicking. >> stan: the ravens tore up the redskins last year, and the redskins, their defense ranked fourth in the nfl last year. they added albert haynesworth and brian orakpo, the first round draft pick. >> gerry: the shuttle pass to ray rice, he has first down, and spins his way across the 45. bought late penalty flag. we'll see if the first down holds or if holding will undo it. >> referee: holding, number 87 offense. 10-yard penalty. it's still second down. >> gerry: if you're going to have a holding penalty, you don't want it to be on your wide receiver. >> stan: but it was called by the head official who is all the way in the back. it's strange, he doesn't usually call that. that's what he saw. he saw the jersey. that was not a great hold even. the jersey just happened to slide off his pads and that just announces to the world that i've held somebody. >> gerry: you want to conceal your hold. makes it a second and 8 for the ravens at their 356789 kelley washington comes in motion. screen pass, ray rice, it's blown out at the point of reception. brian westbrook, first year player out of salisbury, read that one perfectly. ray rice had a defender in his face the second he had the ball in his hand. >> stan: the outside guy of the screen has got to take the force man, the guy who has contain, and he just didn't get to it. >> gerry: thrilled to have you with us on our simulcast tonight, ravens are up 3-0. final minute and a half of the opening quarter. matt birk the new center. flacco wants to throw on third down. kelley washington takes it out near midfield. as the former bengal and patriot trying to find a home with the ravens. if he keeps that up, he'll have a nice home. >> stan: he is that big target on the slant. he gives you that bigger window to throw it to. you can throw it up and above the defenders in front of you, and it's just a big target for that pattern. >> gerry: kelley washington at 6'3", joe flacco at 6'5". more like volleyball than passing. he's in trouble, he'll throw the ball away. the redskins want a flag on the play. alfred fincher came in on the blitz, had flacco wrapped up. the question, will they mark him down where fincher had his hands on him, or will they let the incompletion stand? >> stan: one of the toughest things to do is to be able to throw the ball away on a screen pass. because you're in the pocket so you just can't throw it away. you can throw it at the feet of somebody, but you've got to make sure you don't get it batted down. that's close to being a -- he looked like he was just throwing that one away, luckily ray rice was in the area. >> gerry: ravens from their 49. ray rice is taken down after a gain of about 4. he'll get close to the washington 46. joe flacco has both of his college roommates here, robby agnone was his roommate at delaware, and blaze was his roommate at pitt. final seconds of the quarter coming off the clock. that will do it for one quarter of play here at m&t. one quarter in the books. the ravens have the advantage. >> gerry: set to start the second quarter. the ravens looking at a third down and 5 from the washington 46. ravens outgaining the redskins 121 yards to 45 yards in the first quarter. willis mcgahee the lone back. fires to the far sideline and marcus smith has it for a first down at the washington 37-yard line. draft pick a year ago, smith did not have a single reception throughout the season, but much like kelley washington, marcus smith gives flacco another one of those big body intermediate receivers. >> stan: he actually had one completion but it got taken away by a penalty. you thought you were going to keep the ball from my first nfl catch, all of a sudden it was taken away. and these don't really count. but they count for him making the team. >> gerry: opening seconds, second quarter. mcgahee got to the 30-yard line. shoves a man out of his way and gets down close to the 22-yard line. h.b. blades finally on the stop. but mcgahee with a 16-yard gain. >> stan: did a good job of cutting it back all the way to the back side of the play. wilson mcgahee, i remember seeing him in the national championship game his last game when he got hurt, and before he got hurt, he was one of the best backs i ever saw. he has come back, but now he's got -- he's got to re-establish himself if he wants to stay on this ravens team past this year. >> gerry: a penalty flag down as willis mcgahee backs his way inside the 20-yard line. >> referee: illegal shift, number 81 was in motion while the tight end was going down. >> gerry: marcus smith will now catch the wrath of john harbaugh as he commits a negative. >> stan: that wasn't his fault. he is going in motion. the tight end has to be set. he either has to wait for the tight end to be set. that tight end knows once he gets in motion, he can't move around. he was in motion, the tight end decided to change his position. that put two guys in motion at the same time. >> gerry: you know it's preseason when after a penalty john harbaugh is on the sidelines consulting with terrell suggs. you don't see that in september. far sideline, in and out of the hands of marcus smith, he had the ball moment tearing at the -- momentarily at the 10-yard line. >> stan: what a good throw though. he just, he just got that ball in there. that takes an arm to get it in there. look at that ball. i don't know if he got a finger on that or not. but that was a great throw by joe flacco. there's not a lot of quarterbacks that can make that throw consistently. >> gerry: flacco 8 of 13 so far the first half for 96 yards. looking at a second down and 15 from the washington 26. it's incomplete. he was looking for demetrius williams, but williams appeared to lose his footing. >> stan: he may have thrown that a little early. i think he saw the pressure coming. the ball was there before demetrius even gets turned on that. looked like joe just saw the pressure and threw it just a count early. >> gerry: flacco getting a little extra work. he is being allowed to finish off this drive in the opening minutes of the second quarter. a little more than 13 noints play in the half. on third and 15. flacco with time, checked down pass goes to mcgahee. he'll be far shy of the first down taken down close to the 18- yard line by alex buzz buy. for a second time tonight we get a look at steven hauschka. not the worst outcome. when you're looking for a new field goal kicker, hauschka will come on with sam koch holding. now we're looking at 37-yard field goal attempt. >> stan: michael oher is back in the game, has been for a couple of plays now. >> gerry: hauschka's kick is up and it is good. with 12:30 left to play in the first half. ( thumping ) ( rhythmic clapping ) ( chanting ) ( shouting ) gatorade-- that's "g." >> gerry: don't confuse preseason with unimportant when it comes to the passion of football fans in baltimore, out in full color, as the ravens now have put together two scoring drives. joe flacco finding kelley washington, then willis mcgahee, a 16-yard run that puts steven hauschka in position for his second field goal of the night. for hauschka, a 37-yarder and he's been 2 for 2. this night playing out very favorably for steven hauschka. michael oher back in the game after getting treatment for a putt on his forehead. those are stitches you don't mind seeing your offensive lineman earn. >> stan: he's been impressive with his strength, his ability to stay with blocks, his intensity. of course we know he's a great athlete and a big body. >> gerry: hauschka kicked off for a third time. across the 20, and he is lifted up on a pile of ravens and dropped down at about the 23- yard line. antwaan barnes who has shown some great aggressiveness in this first half. and a quarterback change now for the redskins as todd collins, a 15 year veteran, will take over the washington offense. >> stan: i think antwaan barnes has got to show some things. he hasn't quite been able to show those high hopes yet and he's getting more and more competition. >> gerry: it's almost intercepted by antwaan barnes, just singing the praises of how well he's played here in the first half. >> stan: for a 15 year veteran to throw the ball late to the flat, boy, you shouldn't do that. he could have scored if he'd have caught that ball. the defender had something to do with breaking it up. >> gerry: marcus mason the lone back on second and 10. he is able to dart his way out to the 27-yard line where jameel mcclain brings him to a stop. jameel mcclain figuring prominently in the battle for the line backing corps. jameel mcclain made the team last night as an undrafted free agent. >> stan: he can play on special deals, he had two safties last year, he did a lot of good things. >> gerry: third down and 5. they'll rule it incomplete. a rookie knack mora with a terrific strip from hagans. instead it's three and out for the redskins. and this ravens defense starting to look awfully familiar. >> stan: the ravens work on this all the time. they just ripped the arms away from the football. he did a great job of getting into the arms of the receiver. >> gerry: somehow he weaves his way through traffic, gets across the 30-yard line, out to about the 32. ravens ball when we come back to shade shade. to m & t bank stadium. >> gerry: troy smith will take over as quarterback for the ravens. the ravens in front of the redskins 6-0. the former heisman trophy winner back in 2006, the buckeye, a guy who has been remarkably versatile. last year, health issues took him out of the competition for the starting job and opened the door for joe flacco. cam cameron has still found ways to use him. tonight strictly at quarterback. troy smith, in and out of the hands of justin harper, the second year receiver from virginia tech. and let's go take a look, rob, at the offensive keys. stan, you take it. >> stan: it's run effectually, especially to michael oher. i think they've done that. they've ran the ball effect irvly, they've thrown the ball effect irvly, stretched the field. that's one of the guys, justin harper, that needs to stretch the field. >> gerry: can he pose for a skinny receiver? second down and 10 for the ravens. same pattern, same results as justin harper again cannot hold on to it with kareem moore closing from the safety spot. twice cam cameron goes to the former hokey, twice it comes up empty. >> stan: both throws are not the greatest throws, you saw a little bit of short arm there. i think you have to go after that football if you're trying to make the football team. >> gerry: harper has had moments in camp where he has looked spectacular, then other moments where a catchable ball was not pulled in. whistles blow prior to the snap. >> stan: so not a great start for troy here. >> gerry: ravens called a time- out to avoid the penalty as the play clock was running down. not the easiest thing in the world to step in in the second quarter. at some restaurants when you get boneless wings... what are you really paying for? whoa! ha ha! i say "happy," you say "birthday!" happy... birthday! who's hungry? why pay for flair when you can get all the flavor for just $3.99 with wendy's new boneless wings. tender, juicy chicken, hand tossed in our signature buffalo or bbq sauce. it's waaaay better than fast food. it's wendy's. >> gerry: ravens in front of the redskins 6-0. we want to know what your favorite ravens- redskins memory is. take you back and jog your memory to 2004 when b.j. sands hit a punt return, faked a handoff to sanders and he took it to the house. go to baltimore ravens.com back slash gameday and cast your vote for your favorite ravens- redskins memory. flag down, as the pass is off the outstretched hands of marcus smith. let's see the call. >> referee: holding, number 64 offense. the penalty is declined. it's fourth down. >> gerry: as you might expect with the number two's coming on the field, oniel cousins the guilty party on the play, the play does get noticeably more sloppy. >> stan: he's trying to tackle or rab co, they're what -- >> gerry: dan cook on the field for the first time tonight. the high floater. just outside the 20 and no room to run as marcus smith quickly down the field, 46-yard punt, nothing on the return. but marcus smith comes out of that tackle hobbling. walking very delicately, favoring his right leg. >> stan: looks like an ankle. you turn those ankles. you hope to get up and walk it off. sometimes you walk a few steps and that pain goes away, but it didn't look like it's gone away yet for marcus smith. good play on marcus getting down on those special teams. >> gerry: as the number two's start to populate the defense for the ravens, we'll see if they can continue to contain washington. he has no room to run. talavou is a guy who caught the ravens attention last year, big body guy, you can't miss the hair sticking out the back end, kind of has a troy polamalu sense of fashion, but by no means a troy polamalu body. >> stan: not at all. he's done a good job. he faces an uphill battle with all the defensive tackles they have on this football team. >> gerry: facing the lone back for todd collins. he gets the ball across the 25. it will be third down. >> rob: we have a
