Disagree what's Pittsburghs Dallas or Oaklands made up of?

I would not use Stanley as a reference. When the Monroe issues came up, it was clear the Ravens needed a LT badly. Otherwise, IMO we would have drafted DeForest Buckner (DE), who went to the 49ers one pick later. Alex Lewis was a good use of a 4th round pick, but keep in mind we had let KO go free. This year we let Wagner walk and didn't attempt to fill RT until the 11th hour... Bc

Wanna frazzle the fuq out of a rookie QB? Push the pocket right into his face.

I'm eager to see if BWill/Pierce can do that again this week.

If Dallas would have let us trade up Stanley wasent even going to be the pick it would have been Ramsey

Excellent point! as we were Dback deficient too. However, when the 'Boys didn't bite, then Stanley had to be the choice. Nice catch though... Bc

True - you only get so many 1st round picks as a franchise, and if you go to the playoffs more often than not (going back to 2008) you very rarely have a top end 1st round pick. That pick was used on a LT.

using Ourlads:

Dallas: LT (1st), LG (FA-waiver), C (1st), RG (1st), RT (UDFA)
Oakland: LT ($FA), LG ($FA), C (UDFA), RG (3rd), RT (7th)
Pittsburgh: LT (FA-waiver), LG (UDFA), C (1st), RG (1st), RT (2nd)

Of course, Oakland's starting LG was a Baltimore 2nd round draft pick.

For some reason I thought you were saying that the players were introduced coming on the field (like playoffs) and they managed to give up a sack during those introductions ... now that would have been really bad

As I was typing I realized what you were saying, but still thought it funny enough to continue....

Ravens :

LT: 1st (2016)
LG: UNDFA
C: 6th (2013?)
RG: 3rd (2007)
RT: FA $

The Ravens gained 151 yards on Sunday behind a massive OL that lacks ideal discipline and cohesion atm.

Rushing yards ^^

And that is very encouraging.
Howard was signed Aug 4th and looked incredibly rusty vs Miami on Thurs Aug 17th
Hurst had 2 weeks practice at LG, having been a T in camp before Howard arrived.
Yanda sat out a bunch, as did Stanley
And Jensen was spelled by Zuttah, Skura, and we traded late for 2 C (Bergstron and Bowanko)

With all that 2 RBs split 40 carries and got 80 (West) and 71 (Allen) yards

Looks like UPSIDE to me, Cincy's D line is good ... when our OLine really gels, Ricard gets better at reading who to block (he appears fine at blocking someone), and Woodhead status clears (Langford/Collins?)

The Ravens gained 151 rushing yards on Sunday behind a massive OL that lacks ideal discipline and cohesion atm. Your saying "atm" is spot on. things should improve, and improve over 151 yds on the ground? Oh boy, can't wait.

I'm not surprised by New York's line issues. They just haven't fixed them. They've made some effort, but it hasn't materialized. New York also went the defensive route, paying out big money to Harrison and Jenkins. Their defense is certainly good, but that's just a tough strain to put on your defense. They haven't even had to pay Beckham yet.
