Re: Bryant McKinnie visiting the Dolphins
The Ravens will have to beat the best offer McKinnie gets (in terms of guaranteed money) to resign him after cutting his pay last year. I don't think that McKinnie is going to get a big offer from anyone, but then again the Ravens don't have a lot of cap room. Like McKinnie or not, he is the only OT currently available that can play LT at a decent level.

Re: Bryant McKinnie visiting the Dolphins
They do go downfield quite a bit, but Flacco isn't taking 6,7, or 8 step drops EVERY play.
You can go down the field, but you can't go down the field every other play in the same series. The D picks up on it and figures it out.
Once Caldwell took over you saw the offense turn into a unit that was keeping defenses off-balance so those downfield plays were more effective.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.

Re: Bryant McKinnie visiting the Dolphins
That's true, also considering he could snooker other teams into believing he's motivated. He can't do that with the Ravens, so he may just go with the highest offer (keep in mind his below par finances too), and not have to deal with Harbaugh's harsh work-out regimen... Bc

Re: Bryant McKinnie visiting the Dolphins
At 33/34 years old he knows this is his last chance at a payday. He's going to do whatever it takes to get a large chunk of guaranteed money.
The Dolphins and Chargers have shown that they are willing to payout money like that for players who may or may not be worth it.
The Ravens have not.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.

Re: Bryant McKinnie visiting the Dolphins
Excellent point and you're 100% correct.
Flacco's presence improved because he wasn't dropping straight back to the same spot EVERY passing play.
This is 100% why I feel that the OC can really have a much larger impact on the productivity and success of an offense than many give them credit for. Like I said in other threads, there is a reason why you see more OCs getting head coaching offers than you do DCs. During this past HC carousel, I think Gus Bradley was the only new HC hire that was a defense guy. Mike McCoy, Bruce Arians, Chip Kelly, Andy Reid, Marc Trestman, and Doug Marrone are all offense guys.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.

Re: Bryant McKinnie visiting the Dolphins
Well, the Chargers did sign King Dunlap, who was pretty solid for the Eagles as a LT last year.
So, it isn't like they are in dire straits for a LT. If they do sign McKinnie, I would expect Dunlap would be moved to RT and their 1st round pick, DJ Fluker, would probably move to LG, which is also a need for them.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.
