Skura could learn a lot from Mack

Re: It’s time for Ben Powers
I think we are all having a case of post-Yanda syndrome. Everybody we have put out there (Phillips, Mekari, Powers) have been average. We were so spoiled for so many years having my favorite Raven of all time anchoring RG. (to be fair, I am a Hawkeyes fan so that is not an objective opinion)
Hopefully, one of those 3 guys will improve and stabilize the position, but we must remember that we will probably never see another RG of Yanda's caliber again.

Re: It’s time for Ben Powers
The pedigree will be Bredeson. I know this comment will be met with reactions, but he has the best upside as an inside O'Line talent. Still feel Phillips best role will eventually be RT

Re: It’s time for Ben Powers
I'm not sure how he'd have more upside over Phillips given Bredeson's physical limitations (i.e. arm length - going to have similar issues as Mekari does against those longer DTs).
I'm high on Bredeson and I think he can be a starter in this league, but Phillips has insane upside if he can put it all together."Cause if you ain’t pissed off for greatness, that just means you’re okay with being mediocre, and ain’t no man in here okay with just basic.”

Re: It’s time for Ben Powers
From RSR Stock Report :
" Stock Up: Patrick Mekari
I’ve been high on Patrick Mekari since he was first asked to fill in for an injured Matt Skura last season, and I’m glad he’s getting another shot this year. It was unfortunate there wasn’t a spot for him on the starting offensive line to open the season, even after right guard Marshal Yanda retired. Rookie Tyre Phillips has been the Yanda replacement so far but has been up and down in the role through four weeks. With Philips out Sunday, John Harbaugh said offensive line coach Joe D’Alessandris had the idea of rotating Mekari and Ben Powers at right guard every two drives. Lamar Jackson had plenty of time in the pocket when it was Mekari’s turn on the field and he did a good job of opening up holes and bullying defenders in the run game.
Mekari proved he can play somewhere other than center, the position he played when he was PFF’s second-highest graded rookie offensive lineman a season ago, and I’m interested to see if he did enough in the coaches’ eyes to earn the starting right guard spot moving forward, or at least an expanded role.

Re: It’s time for Ben Powers
The discussion/consensus on this forum surrounding the iOL depth chart never made sense to me.
I think the staff clearly rates Mekari over Powers.

Re: It’s time for Ben Powers
I think the Ravens coaching staff values players who can play multiple positions which is fine. However, I also think they value those versatile players over players who are better at a particular position. Powers can only play OG, but IMO he is a better OG than Mekari.
I think the Ravens should just play Powers at OG. Bozeman has played well at LG, but isn’t incredible at that position. Move Bozeman to Center and play Powers at either LG or RG.
