Thank you OL!

[wolfpack]

According to ESPN, the Patriots didn't have any QB hits (they had some, but there were flags on something, so they didn't count).
And thank you KO, you looked amazing in this game. The OL have really surprised me, in a positive way.

[HaX]

our offense in general is pretty legit this year
the defense however..

[Corvus]

They are definitely stepping it up as a unit for the most part. And just think, KO and Harewood have played a total of 3 NFL games, period. They are only going to improve as the season goes on IMO.

[BenMir]

Through out the whole game I kept thinking "Wow, Our o-line looks great!". KO and Harewood - great. Oher looked legit and did great in my opinion. Only one who had a bad game was Yanda, and we all know he's probably the best guard in the NFL 99% of the time.

[AsianRice]

KO and Harewood looks like future probowlers out there; I was glad how much tiime Joe sitting in the pocket. Our running game is the beast too, thanks to the OLine.

Great jobs period!

[sup][size=4]Without a doubt this was a great showing by the offense and that starts with the O-line play. [/size][/sup]

[sup][size=4]Pitta got his catches, Torrey played like a #1 receiver despite what was on his mind, and the kicker made the kick (barely but...)[/size][/sup]

[sup][size=4]But it all starts with those guys up front. And the Patriots are considered one of the best front 7's in the league. [/size][/sup]

[sup][size=4]OK let's keep it going, and keep the browns in the cellar. [/size][/sup]

Off-topic: Pitta has never dropped a ball in his NFL career

You sure about that? I'm pretty sure I saw him drop one or two this season.. though I'm not sure if those count as drops

[Bazooka Joe]

They look good. Our bookends are set. I want our first pick to be the best center available.

[NaveSenrag]

I was pleasantly surprised to see Matt Birk handling Wilfork pretty well. The only weak link on the line was the one I least expected. Yanda's grabbing cost us a bunch of yards, but he's the best RG in the game and he still played a pretty good game so I cut him some slack.

[RavensWin09]

sure would be nice to have the oline set so we don't have to spend a lot of draft picks on them next year. i like this oline and thought too many overreacted to how ko and oher played in the 2nd half of the eagles game. just give them a break.

Why? Hopefully Gradkowski can be our Center of the future so we can spend that pick on a defensive playmaker. Hopefully Ray will be able to finally hang up his cleats and move on and we can take a good LB like Te'o.

Yes I'm sure. According to Pro Football Focus, they keep stats on EVERYTHING, and they said that he has yet to drop one.

I agree. Assuming we retain most of our players, I believe the next draft should focus on depth and BPA.

[UMDan]

The O-Line did look very good last night. I was afraid to mention it aloud to the people I was watching with, at risk of jinxing it, but they played remarkably well and Joe had a lot of time to make decisions. Our offense is coming together pretty well. I really think Joe's critics are somewhat right, when he isn't flustered and has time to make decisions, he's terrific. When he is under constant pressure, he's not quite as good.

You are right, because my post will end his impressive streak. I'm sorry Pitta...

It's okay.. Just like Amerrican Express he has security features to keep it from actually happening

[Gordo52]

K.O. looked really really good.

Oher looked good.

Yanda looked bad, but he gets pass. I don't know what his problem was last night. Very strange indeed.

[GrimCoconut]

To anyone who says we don't need to spend a draft pick on the OL I disagree. We should get a tackle for at least depth. We don't need one high, though. Centers and guards can be had anywhere, so I am not worried. The point I am making is we don't need to spend a draft pick on the OL until the 2nd or really the 3rd day.

Now, one area I want fixed is the defensive line. We need a DE opposite of Ngata. We need a JJ Watt.

[Ravenslifer]

I am really impressed with Oher's play this year. I'll admit I thought he was a bust at left tackle after last season, but he's really showing something this season.

[admartian]

Tell me about it. Didn't they not give up a sack except for the one that was nullified due to defensive holding?

Oher was lights out. Then only one that concerned me was Yanda and his penalties. Hi uber-late reaction to the defensive false start still makes me chuckle.

[omar586]

yes indeed, the O-line is the most surprising unit of the season

Our first pick needs to be on defense, no question. They need a inside linebacker or DE

[/quote]He was battling the best NT in football all game. It's expected to happen. He's still hands down our best offensive lineman.

I agree with that. I don't agree that Wilforks the nest NT in football though. Top 3 no doubt, we all know who is numero uno.

[/quote]Well yeah, Haloti WOULD be the best NT in football but he is better utilized at defensive end. Having a guy like Ngata at NT is a waste of his talent.

[tsizzle95]

And this year playing well against the patriots d is actually a good thing, not a guarantee anymore..

Not if Suggs and someone who could rush the passer is right next to him. But I get what you're saying. I don't know though, Suh might be better than Wilfork as well.
