Ugly...and it starts with the o-line

[elj1201]

17 hurries and counting

going backwards all day.on the ground too much. no holes opening up for the run game.

Doesn't matter who's throwing with this o-line.

blame player personnel for putting together this sorry excuse for an NFL offensive line.

it's been an issue all season.

[Troubadour]

The problems with this team are deeper than the O-line alone.

well obviously

it starts with the o line

[bawlmerbob]

Ozzie said that improving the O-Line was the highest priority in this past off-season. It wasn't done. We lost Grubbs. He was never adequately replaced. The Line, which was bad last year, is worse.
There are so many needs for this team in terms of re-building, but the O-Line is probably the greatest need.

It's been an issue for years.

I agree 100%

I can't believe that THIS TEAM has NINE wins - they look like the worse team in the league.

There are about 20 guys on this team that are good enough to come back. The rest of them should go to work for a living like the rest of the country.

Here's the guys I'd bring back

Justin Tucker, Koch, Flacco, Yanda, Osemele, Pitta, Torey Smith, Tandon Doss, Rice, Pierce, Nagta, Pollard, Webb, Upshaw, Kruger, McClellan, Ellerbe, Jones, Gradkowski, Graham.

Maybe a couple more - but not many.

i don,t think we have been good all season.there no protection for Flacco at all. we are in a bind with so many injured players. and RAY RICE up the never seems to work.no end arounds nothing new here. out played and out coached.

You can blame Ray Rice and his agent for part of that. If Ray signs earlier than the Ravens have the cap space to sign Grubbs.

There wasn't going to be any signing of Grubbs. Grubbs stated it wasn't about the money; it was about the fact that the Ravens were all about the Defense, and he didn't want to re-sign with this team under those conditions. (Please don't ask for a "LINK", okay? He was quoted as having said that at the time, and if you want some "link", go search for it.)

very interesting if true. i could think a few million other reasons though

Again...it was not about the money, according to Grubbs himself.

yeah but...............come on.....lets be real

But what? What's more real than a player's own accounting of his choice? It DOES happen that not EVERY player is all about the money, you know. Right? Some players want to be on a team that they feel is committed to winning, especially at their position. Grubbs plays on the OFFENSIVE line. N.O. is all about the offense. The Ravens are not. Look at where 40% of all the cap money is locked up. Pretty simple, no?

[Omaha Beach]

Anytime someone says it is not about the money it is ALWAYS about the money. I also believe Grubbs family is from the New Orleans area which might have had something to do with him going there. What is apparent is that they sure miss him. Is McKinnie still on the team? If so any reason from John Boy as to why he has not been in the lineup?
