Biggest OL problem is Zuttah. Surely Urshel or Jensen must be getting considered. Refs missed him holding on the Flaccos TD. He's over the hill.

Hope they don't force KD back the run is just not there yet and pointing fingers isn't the way to go! Get what you can on the ground but teams are passing to get points and wins and not running! Teams are blowing up the line of scrimmage just like our team so again "what makes us so special" that the run is what it is now! This team so deep no need to rush anyone back "Next man up" and we will be fine! Smh this finger pointing Trestman and the O line needs to stop in 2012 when the Ravens played the pats in their stadium the pats blew up the line countless times but it was a "PASS" to Pitta not a run that got the Ravens going and that is what's going to do it again in 2016 so relax and enjoy this ride instead of waiting on the Ravens to loose and the "I TOLD YOU SO's"! Smh! WE THE BEST!

WOW.... the OL situation is not sounding good. We have depth but with young players continuity is important. Hope they are all good to go come Sunday but it dont sound good!

Kenneth Dixon will not play vs Oakland is that l can already tell, Dumervil will play, Stanley and Lewis has to play or we in trouble, and Timmy Jernigan and Kamar are 50-50 but l would think that they will play.

I think we'll be okay without Lewis.  I'm confident in Urschel/Jensen to do a good job.  Stanley is a different story, and I hope he can play.

True. I would like to see if Urschal/Jensen can do better on the LG spot and see if the running game could improve. Lewis probably might be inactive anyways. But we do need Stanley to play.

Hoping Ronnie can play, but not at the expense of his continued health. Having Yanda able to kick out to RT provides even more options, but having two OL sitting out makes us look pretty thin there.

hurst at LT would be no bueno. hopefully he has improved since last season so flacco is not mentally screwed during the game

Hopefully Stanley's injury isnt too serious. Now we might have an idea of why he struggled this week. 

[BigUgly]

Having a big left tackle with a foot injury is a serious issue (recall Ogden's big toe injury ended his career). Kudos to Stanley for playing through it last week, but I wonder how much it compromised him; he had a rough game.

Really have to question Ozzie's decision to not bring in a decent backup tackle. Options on the roster include Hurst (yikes), Lewis (rookie, concussion), or Wagner (has had some issues in pass protection on the right). Rest of the guys on the roster or PS would be RTs at best.

Either way, Khalil Mack will be licking his chops...

I think Oline is the Achilles Heel of the offense. There is simply no push by them in the run game, thus no holes for RBs to cut back into, and Flacco is taking too many hits in the pocket or being forced to scramble. The blocking scheme also needs to be reviewed. There are issues. Let's just continue to win ugly.

[RavenLunatic]

Get healthy boys!

[Bob21043]

I think I'd rather have an 80% Stanley over a 100% Hurst playing - Hurst was playing when Joe got hurt last year (he was blocked into Joe though). Run to Yanda's side as much as we can

[Bat-mite]

It's kind of weird to me that these practice reports are posted on Thursdays, when there has only been one day of practice.

[January J]

Would love to see yanda and wagner on the edges- which is where Oakland is most dominant . that could be a much needed shakeup- Atleast just for this game alone. Urschel and Jensen can handle the inside. Who knows it might just work wonders and give our running game a jolt of lightening.

Hopefully he will be licking his wounds and not his chops! Go Ravens.

Stanley being either out or limited is a major concern. The o line is already challenged ... if he is out, it will go from ineffective to down right scary.

[bozo]

your going to need Stanley in the like up. or there going to need a 2 tight ends in the game to help protect flacco. than take there best corner to cover the raiders 2nd best receiver and double team there #1 receiver. that should get the job done as long as we can run the ball.
