Sadly, this is not surprising given the state of the O-line. :(

This is where I wish we would have kept Josh Johnson and ditched Mallet. Besides the fact he played better than Mallet this spring, with the O-Line worries, Mallet is no more mobile than Flacco. Johnson certainly could have caused defenses a much bigger problem with his ability to move around and run for first downs. However, had Johnson been on the roster, then prior to today I would have been screaming to get him out there. Especially, since Spags, the Giants DC, was our Defensive Backs coach and he most certainly learned when he was here that if you put any pressure on Flacco he folds like a two dollar bill. That is what they did and that is what Flacco did, However, had we had a chance to put Johnson out there it would have screwed up the whole Giants game plan. Once again, we ended up keeping the wrong person. Personnel decisions are killing us.

Mallet is MUCH more mobile than Flacco. A snail is more mobile than Far Below Average Joe! Johnson? He's a journeyman at best. Who's he lighting it up for now? Mallet had his personal demons. I think he has learned, and needs to get his shot now, before Far Below Average Joe blows the Ravens fourth season in a row.

If the line and running game don't improve, it won't matter who is there, mobile or not.

As ineffective as Joe has been so far this season it would be wise to let him heal and bring him back healthy after the bye. Mallet can't be any worse than a banged up Joe.

Johnson has been an NFL reject for years...Any team would have a field day ripping him to shreds. If he was an even borderline starter he would be playing right now.

Joe, was not a 100% week 1.

[thisme007]

We can beat the Jets without Joe.

I am still on Joe's team, how long did they think he could keep getting hit on almost every pass play before it took its toll.

[BaccaFly]

Perhaps that explains the inaccurate throws, see what happens when you make blind assumptions.

I'm with you! Love my team....no matter what!!  Do I get upset sometimes?? Sure I do, but the Ravens are MY home town team. I would never throw any of the team under the bus, like some so called fans do. Boggles my brain!!!  Constructive criticism is fine....but the downright bashing doesn't sit well with me!! I will now just them!!!!

We should start Mallet...we should beat the Jets. Joe has been playing scared and unsure of himself and the O-line has not been helping. Something is not clicking on this team and we should be in much better shape than we are now

Exactly..

[crazyboutravens]

Another mysterious injury that is no problem. I guess that means Joe won't play for lord knows how long. Harbs put the whole team on IR and start fresh.

[surfdude]

Team is truly snake bitten. Love how no info on the extent of Ronnie's injury. This team is starting to get on my last nerve.

Too many people discounting this very important fact when they bash Joe.

It's a shoulder injury. Get over it and move on please.

Oh so true. Go Ravens!

[KidNme]

You say you get upset (@Respect the raven), is there a reason? The fact that you don't voice it on the forum doesn't make you more of a fan.
This isn't a Purple kool-aid only forum, its a fan forum and everyone has an opinion and is allowed to voice it. If they're on here making statements, they're most likely a fan, otherwise, they probably wouldn't bother. I'm a fan and have been since the Colts played here and have thousands of dollars of memorabilia on my Purple and gold wall with a 15' ravens logo I painted myself. I've worked concessions at both stadiums, go to many of the fund raisers and I've also mowed a 50' "Go Ravens" in my back yard from training camp till first frost for the last 10 years. I also own about a dozen jerseys. If people are upset, that's their right to mention how they see it. More times than not, the masses predict future moves on this team anyway so "Fans" of all types have valid points too, even if they don't agree with you. Stick to statements about the team. "Constructive criticism is fine....but the downright fan bashing doesn't sit well with me!!"
Saying so doesn't make you "More of a fan" than the rest of us.

Shoulder injury is a good excuse for poor offensive performance that will probably play-out the rest of the season.

Wow ....did I strike a cord or something??!! I am not fan bashing!!  Just like you said...everyone has their own opinions. Mine is, "it doesn't sit well with me" when a "fan" bashes someone on the team. It's my right to say so, like it's your right to say what you say. Thanks for letting me know what a true fan is.....

Trade him now while you still can. He sucks.

[Purple Dawg 96]

Get well soon Joe! This is all they want to hear from me on this issue so yall got it! Took one for the team!

You better watch it buddy they call me a TROLL when I talk about Joe! My profile is being watched big time! I'm jus sayin!

No, I think you should say what you think so you can either be proven right, or wrong. Just because I may disagree with someone (or not) doesn't mean they shouldn't speak.

Yep. Why is rookie Dak Prescott looking so good? Who has the best O-line in the NFL?

[craymonham]

I specifically said yesterday we need to trade to get a good quality offensive lineman 2nd or 3rd pick. Why not gamble we gambled 55mil on web and 50 more on jimmy.
