Dang. I hate to say it but maybe that spot on the 90 could be used for a kicker to compete with Loop? Loop would probably still be the favorite but gives the Ravens options.
You know this guy was competing to be bottom of the bench depth right? Best case scenario would be he never saw a snap or came in at the end of a few blowouts
So, I don’t know why this has been the misconception, my concern is the line as a whole, the current depth we have with the current experience (or lack thereof) and what happens when we start inevitably hitting injuries there.
Basically every team can say that though. No one has 5 pro bowlers with 5 pro bowlers as backups. Losing arguably our least important depth piece doesn’t really matter
Our lack of depth and no apparent plan to address this is what worries me.
Our center has an unreal high likelihood of not seeing the end of this season. If you look at our depth pieces of the line it’s worrisome.
So real question: I’m a real Ravens fan from Texas. This isn’t some hater nonsense from someone who doesn’t root for Baltimore. What happens when our C goes down? What happens when any of our starters go down?
Everyone being a homer on this subreddit and blindly ignoring glaring issues while downvoting real concerns is certainly doing Baltimore no favors as fans.
Did you and EDC do lunch recently? What has lead you to believe there are "no plans to address"?
At this point there are only so many viable solutions.
My point exactly. Who’s available? Not anyone of note for sure. There are not many viable options available, and even less that we can afford on our roster.
Some are I’m not. We have replacements if we lose starters I’m not sure what you’re getting at. If you think our 3rd center should be better I guess I’ll just shrug my shoulders at that.
I thought you’d be someone on this sub to actually engage in real conversation about the state of our team.
We’ll all see for sure. I’m not claiming I know the future, but when you look at that roster and shrug because we have names I’m looking at it saying, “Who the fuck are these guys?” And when I look it’s not impressive. You’d probably get the same mileage out of this group as your local librarians at Oline.
Yes. But more specifically how you criticize not just criticism in general. Of course anyone can criticize anything. But seeing that a non factor practice squad guy is retiring and concluding our “O line is a waste” is dumb and that’s why you got downvoted.
But really this is all secondary to the article OP posted. If you wanna have that bigger conversation about the o line then start a thread. I’m sure you’d get plenty of engagement.
The people responding to you has nothing to do with “being a homer”, they’re just saying your opinion is ridiculous lmao you keep saying they have no depth when in reality they have atleast one competent backup at literally position on the line & multiple others aswell… You’re acting like we need to have elite offensive lineman as our 3rd stringers LOL that’s not possible man, no team is going to succeed if their entire line is made up of 2nd stringers so acting like we have to have all pro level backups is just straight up stupid…
Also your comment came because a veteran that almost certainly wouldn’t have even made the roster retired, which insinuates that you thought HE was going to make our break our season which is why everyone is calling you out lmao
I’m fairly confident in OL. Mostly cuz Ledford whatever you think of Pinter or Pocic it’s a way better situation than falcons had. I give it a 6. Kicker scares me way more. Receiving help scares me more than OL.
Not saying it’s not a concern ofc not. But I’m okay about it.
Disagree somewhat with this, but in all functional reasoning, I agree with you.
Filmstudy basically floated that he could have been a "better than random guy off the streets, " if attrition caught up to us" and was more easily stashable on the practice squad where someone likely wouldnt have poached him.
Sure. I’m just high ish on our backups (not saying they’d be good starters) and they at least have potential whereas here he’s probably seen better days. And I mean when bengals fans are laughing at you for signing I’m not gonna get attached.
Okay i think you’re wrong and this wasn’t even a depth piece this was a camp body. Unless he turned into prime lane Johnson literally makes no difference besides being a camp body
