Ybit he'd have scored on that pass play six weeks later. He wasn't in shape ,Marshall was never known for his conditioning ,brains,speed ,vision,but he played himself into shapeThe Ravens were really packin' the running lanes up...
So here's a cool little video of a drive against the Ravens in week 1 of the glorious 1999 season. Remember, that Ravens team would go on to win a superbowl that very next season riding their defense. This was also Warners first ever NFL game.
I was actually thinking the same thing, and kept waiting for the ref to wave it off as a non catchI've been watching the Rams receivers for too long, my immediate reaction to both Holt receptions "Oh well it was a tough catch...oh right he didn't drop it"
On top of all of that, notice the two long passes to Faulk and Holt? He just dropped the ball in the bucket both times. They weren't rocket shots or even particularly pretty to look at but they were floated to the perfect spot at the perfect time and very easy to catch. Possibly Warner's greatest ability.Kurt was amazing too though. Such quick decisions, almost always went to the right spot with the ball with a decisiveness and accuracy that were hall of fame quality. He really took Martz's offense to the next level from an execution standpoint, looking at the way he spread that ball around the Ravens' defense was like "WTF!?"
I don't know wtf happened but I closed my eyes and 15 years went by.
