Re: It’s time for Ben Powers
Not much really matters, and the rest doesn't matter at all.

Re: It’s time for Ben Powers
Fluker has looked bad everytime he's played keep him on the bench. One of the concerns I had when I saw the weight loss articles was alright how is he going to hold up in the run game.
The answer so far at least to me is not well. He doesn't look strong and isn't pushing guys around like I thought he would.

Re: It’s time for Ben Powers
I'm pretty sure he didn't. There was a decent amount of discussion about this. It was a surprise that Tyre got the RG start because he was a rookie. Fluker is a decent veteran RG, not too old, and a road grader type, which appeals to me. I was enthusiastic about seeing Fluker, he supposedly lost a lot of weight and got in great shape.
The Ravens have used him at swing tackle. I'm not sure how good he'd do at LT, but RT is something he'd be good at. It's possible they had him at RT and Brown at LT when Stanley was out. That configuration seems like one they might want to take a closer look at if they don't want to pay Stanley. If Brown at LT works with another big at RT, the Ravens could save money.
I would want to see Fluker at RG, and I suspect that he would be good at run blocking there.
