Is Yanda just too much to over come?

Pretty good article the offense has been absolutely putrid since Yanda went down

If losing a Guard (even the best Guard in the league) is so much of a blow that your offense can't function without him, then your offense was never any good to begin with, and your team was never going anywhere to begin with.

Pretty much this.

Yes and anyone could see that our offense, especially Oline, was already under-par. Ozzie put too many eggs in one (defense) basket and our already inferior offense pays the price of losing one of it's steady members... Bc

For Baltimore? YES

it's not just losing a guard. you had already lost the other guard and both backups, it's a completely different story.

Yeah - the Ravens are down to their 5th and 6th guards. Crazy

Actually we've replaced our 6th guard with a rotation of our 7th & 8th, whose supposed to be our backup C.

I think it is a combination of losing Yanda, his three backups, our starting rb, three of our TE and the other thing that I have discussed in depth. It all adds up.

This.

It sucks, and there's no way the team is as good without him, but every team has significant injuries.

- the Dolphins lost Ryan Tannehill
- the Chiefs lost Eric Berry and Tamba Hali
- the Chargers lost Jason Verrett
- the Bears lost Cam Meredith
- the Jags lost Allen Robinson
- the Panthers lost Greg Olsen
- the Patriots lost Julian Edelmen
- the Cardinals lost David Johnson and Mike Iupati
- the Vikings just lost Dalvin Cook

Each one of these guys was going to be a key component to the team. And the list will be at least twice as long by the end of the season. Coaches have to be able to adapt over the course of a season.

More significant to me is the number of injuries, especially to young players.
