The comment "keeping his nose down as he climbed" reads funny. I get it, but maybe it should read "the ExpressJet told ATC he was keeping his nose down during the departure to avoid the landing plane."
Edit: WRONG! The were 'vectored' right at each other- the ERJ taking off to the north, and the 737 landing to the west (the west end of the EW runway and the N end of the NS runway are where the runways "cross". http://avherald.com/h?article=473704aa
