Gino Gradkowski
I'm curious what people's impressions were of Gino's play yesterday. To my eye he looked good, though it's tough to judge when he's playing next to a virtual corpse (Bobbie Williams) rather than Yanda. It'd be a big boost to the run game and salary cap if he could become an athletic replacement for Birk in '13.

He got pushed around a bit, but he battled a lot harder than Birk. On a side note Bobbie Williams has to be the worst signing of the year.

Tyrod didn't get killed, so that's a plus.

It's not so much that it's a bad signing, it's why he's gotten so much playing time. Could Harewood really be so bad that he went from starting the first few games to not even being able to outplay Williams? There was a play on the first series where Willaims was pulling to the left and was so slow getting over there that he bumped into Ray Rice as Rice was hitting what should have been the hole.

Re: Gino Gradkowski
Ravens broadcast team mentioned it was weird seeing the Ravens C getting to 2nd level...
I'm hopeful for him, I think he needs to hit the weight room this offseason with some fury. He's got a good setup, just needs some extra bulk..

“When I think of a Baltimore Raven - we go in there, we take your lunch box, we take your sandwich, we take your juice box, we take your applesauce, and we take your spork and we break it. And we leave you with an empty lunch. That’s the Baltimore Raven way.” - Steve Smith Sr.
Call me a Special Teams coach again. I dare you! I double dare you, MFer!

I thought he played well.
Stick him between Jah and Yanda and I don't think it would be too bad.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.

I thought he looked pretty good. He does need to add muscle, but that'll come in the weight room if he's dedicated to being a quality NFL player. Hopefully he hangs around Lewis and Ayanbadejo and not McKinnie...

Although Walsh's system of offense can compensate for lack of talent; however, defense is a different story. According to Walsh, talent on defense was essential and could not be compensated for. What did Walsh do in 1981? He acquired physical and talented players on defense.

Re: Gino Gradkowski
Geno did play pretty well but keeping it in perspective the Bengals did not keep their A list guys out there the whole game either.
With that in mind Geno certainly showed enough to encourage me he could have a future. Not enough though that if a really good C were sitting there in 2,3 or 4th rounds that I would pass on em“A linebacker's job is to knock out running backs, to knock out receivers, to chase the football,”
