Osemele to start at tackle on Monday night

According to Aaron Wilson. I guess that means McKinnie is hitting the bench. Oher, Williams, Birk, Yanda, KO?

Based on how poorly KO played against the St. Louis Rams, I'm worried for flacco.

This is so damn stupid. Start him at left guard. Oher is not a good LT.

Uh oh ...

Looks like a few of us might be eating crow.

So why the need to re-sign him then?

Depth I guess. They reworked his deal so that he only makes $2.2 if he doesn't play 50% of the snaps. I guess they're planning on playing him less than 50% of the time.

They see them in practice everyday so I trust that they're putting the best lineup out there this week, but damn... hopefully it's a temporary thing and McKinnie gets in there on jumbo packages and eventually at LT.

Bobbie Williams wasn't signed to be a bench player, so I'm not sure the logic of that. He certainly didn't do anything to play his way out of the starting lineup.

If the Ravens feel that Oher is the better player right now over McKinnie, I'm not sure how we can argue with it.

I don't know how to feel about this, i think it comes down to conditioning of the no huddle offense.

I think you hit the nail right on the head. I'm pretty sure this was a big driving force behind the thought process of starting Osemele.

This doesn't surprise me, oh well, seasons over, we are benching the best left tackle in football, and starting the worst left tackle in the NFL for the last decade. 0-16 here we come....

I'll say it again if its true... Someone owes you an apology for talking to you as if you were complete trash for saying mckinnie just wasn't all that. Fair enough disagree and say otherwise. Just not how he sahinting. Thinking his opinion was fact and the only one that mattered, trashing mainly you and a few others differing opinion. Sure has came around and bit him
