I hate to say it but it's starting to look like our OL is in real trouble.

[CaliRavenFan]

Good news for us Judon fans, I believe he will take Carters spot on special teams. 

[omar586]

with all OL issues, season looking not good

[Ravensfansince03]

Next man up do your job

[Tower of Power]

Poor Flacco. It was horrible to see the difference between the protection he got and the one Carr got, and it's getting worse and worse.

Judon should be playing every week no matter what

[sizzlingdoom]

seriously. We'd probably go 16-0 if we had Oline play like they do. That and if Wright didn't play anymore

uh,we gave them all away and raiders got the best one.

i'm glad people lost their jobs over that game,really the line play is FLACCOS fault,his ELITE contract made us get rid of his best protection,but boy i swear DALLAS'S line looks like a stone wall in front of DAK,no wonder he's doing so good,i haven't seen a line that good in,never! but they did try and hurry up FLACCOS throws to compinsate,but i don't think he can be TOM BRADY,it's too fast for him.the PATS don't have big names on their line,but BRADY processes things alot faster,now he has no choice to get better at speed throws but unforchunately he may never have the aptitude to do it.i'd really like to know how they will go deep with little protection,COUSINS did half rolls,moved in the pocket,FLACCO is the worst at pocket awareness so i'm pretty scared and concerned how they'll get him time.

[Zeus]

We must be cursed

[Drinkmore Beer]

If neither Yanda or Stanley can play against Cincy, Ravens have no chance. You could blitz Don Knotts and he'd get three sacks.

[Drinkmore Beer]

Meant Giants. It was the beer.

No not really-Tony Romo has a bigger cap number then Flacco therefore, its not his elite cap number. Yes losing KO hurts but show me a team that has 2 OG with huge contracts. No one does that, and Yanda is better then KO. Its injuries that are killing us and to that matter the rookies getting injured. If Stanley and Lewis do pan out our Oline will be good at some point, but no team even the Cowboys are prepared to lose 3 starting lineman.

They should have been addressing these things at the draft.

Spares like Henry, KC and Moore are just going to rot on the inactive list like so many other of their prior whiffs

[Rav'n Maniac]

This move I just don't understand. We're now going to carry 6 guards on the active roster and virtually no backups at ILB with Mosley hurt. Turner hasn't been good at all since drafted, maybe they think they can fix him.

Possibly they'll slide Albert to the inside and activate Judon in his place. Albert is good against the run but not the pass. I guess we'll see soon enough

Turner was released by the Miami Dolphins Tuesday after he surrendered three sacks and two quarterback hits against the Tennessee Titans in the Dolphins’ Week 5 loss.

and he's supposed to help our OL how???????

[The Greek]

sign monroe out of retirement

[The Greek]

wont surprise me if stanley is placed on ir.

Haven't researched the guy yet but it did say he was moved to Lt that game to replace tunsil

LOL.... We would have a better chance of singing Ogden out of retirement!

Agreed that the Raiders OL looks great but I also think that we need to add a Khalil Mack type of guy to help attack some these OLs... with guys like Mack... it is easy to make an OL look bad!

True. We don't have "That" guy.

Barney was relentless.

[whobilly]

Not only is our O Line in trouble, when are we going to seriously address our 1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi, 3 Mississippi, 4 Mississippi, 5 Mississippi pass rush?
Just about any QB in the NFL is gonna eventually find somebody open given so much time. I'm sure Eli will look like Peyton in his prime on Sunday.

Yes they didn't look in their crystal ball to see how the injury bug would hit and when lol.

Stop gap measure.  Two out of the three injured lineman may be a week or two out, with one perhaps longer.  These two signings aren't going be here long, or two of our existing lineman are headed to the IR soon, or getting their papers.  I am in the camp of temporary signing of these two. 

[designermaryland]

If Stanley is not healthy after the bye, they may as well IR him as the season will likely be mediocre at best. i have no faith in the offense waking up, especially with 3-4 guys on the line filling unfamiliar positions or marginal backups. i hope marty proves me wrong but i have been hearing the same spiel about its potential for years. the lack of depth is a combination or poor draft quality and unmanageable contracts for guys like suggs, dumervil, webb, pitta and flacco who are underperforming. if the most expensive guys you have are not impact players, you are on a road to nowhere.

Imagine that..football and injuries go figure.

The O line and the secondary have been the Achilles heel since forever and they have yet to effectively address either one through the draft
