Week One staring interior line

[Bhcforlife]

It's probably just me, but I don't see much love for Mekari. I think he's our Center unless someone takes the job, but it won't be an easy battle... Bc

If it's a true competition between Mekari and Bozeman, I think Bozeman will win and pretty easily. If you believe in Filmstudy's (RIP to his presence here) grading style, Mekari was really not very good last year. He played in 7 games and Film had him at a D or F in 4 of them. Seems like a great example of how Lamar made linemen look better.

He was a UDFA so it's understandable his grades being thrust in as a starter as a rookie would be meh, but I don't know if I think he's the future there.

Here's what he said in the end of year recap article:

Mekari: Patrick played every snap at center after Skura was hurt. The dropoff was significant, but he has the advantages of both versatility (in theory he can play any OL position) and physicality, which the Ravens may take more time to develop.

Week one staring interior line -- I just don't see it.

Thanks for the info and your POV... Bc

I didn't say Week 1 would happen in September, or even in 2020. But I think there will eventually be football again.
