This guy is just different, but I like him, hoping he has a really solid year 2.http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/10/opinion/sunday/john-urschel.html?rref=collection/column/sunday-review-download&module=ArrowsNav&contentCollection=Opinion&action=keypress&region=FixedLeft&pgtype=article

Hes awesome. NO disrespect to others playing the game..but he's a lot deeper of a soul than most NFL players (if not pretty much all of them ). He's got class. Shame their aren't more in this league like him. Just a tonne of knuckleheads

Very smart young man. I really like our O-Line I think compared to 2 years ago this is one area that Oz and Co. really improved on. The younger guys were put to the test and thrown in the fire last season and they really performed.

Known this all a while now but it is pretty cool, he did some draft science for GE over the draft

[CTFan]

Ever wonder what Usrchel's career path will look like when his playing days are over; especially if he decides to stay in football?

[mg90]

We have someone here who is a true role model and I can root for him regardless of team. Glad he was drafted by us.

When he is done with football he can work for NASA as a rocket scientist

Maybe he can be like me. Beer drinker/philosopher.

Nah, he's not taking my spot.

[Gtown Purple]

If he continues to grow I see him starting for us in the future.

[PurpleCity5]

I wouldn't be shocked if he claimed the starting Center spot. Zuttah had hip troubles that bothered him during the season, I don't know if it's a problem right now but he did see a decline when Urschel rose. I think he can really boost our OL. 

[Pathogen-]

we'll see.  He's a breath of fresh air from the loudmouthed gangsta type, thats for sure

(I don't know if this post really belongs here?   And I know it's kind of a worthless post, but ...)

 

I was just watching the O's game and it got me thinking a little bit about moneyball when they were talking statistics.  Then I recalled the Ravens hiring a statistical analysis guy . 

 

I wonder if Urschel and that guy ever discuss things, maul over new ideas, analytical methods, etc...   I bet they put a lot of people to sleep at the lunch table if they do

This is actually pretty interesting:

I agree with urschel that the change won't increase 2 point plays unless it's moved farther or post are moved closer together

[Ravenseconbeast]

I was so so wrong about him.  One thing is that he is making some serious effort and improving compare to his college days.   

Im less worried about letting KO go if we have to, if we can't keep KO & Yanda together.

[ALSKAN RAVEN FAN]

We got a few young and tallented O-linemen on our team for sure.

or move the 2 point conversion to the 1 yard line and award teams with a balanced run-and-pass offense, unless you are the Seahawks. This might also kill two birds with one stone and re-value the running back position.

You would think the seahawks would just pound in a 2 pointer from the 1 but Lynch was only 1-5 on 2 pointers last year.

No disrespect you said but then called NFL players knuckleheads. Nice. There are plenty of good men in the NFL.
