I didn't call it a hot take. I just think it's going to happen. Clearly you agree there's a real chance of it too.

So what's your point?

Huge chance of it based on what we saw last week with Crosby.

 

Ravens should be running at him.

I was thinking the same thing because you know Parsons is going to be crashing inside with a vengeance.  I don't even know if the Ravens have a trap/running play in the book but that would be a perfect counter.  I do think they're going to run heavy in this game, although the Saints had their way with them in all facets of the offense.  Outside of Parsons, this Cowboy defense is very average so there shouldn't be any reason not to put up at least 24 points.

Harbaugh said you probably will see different guys at different spots along the OL Sunday. “It’s still competition. It’s still up in the air at certain spots.”

it’s week 3. That’s Spanish for, this roster was very poorly constructed IMHO.

I think I'll be OK with anyone besides Falele. He just doesn't have it.

I'm also not a huge fan of musical chairs on the OL. How are they supposed to gel and figure how to work together when they're constantly being jerked around? Let Rosengarten get comfortable at RT. Let Mekari or Cleveland settle into RG. They seem fine from Linderbaum left.

Falele is a classic Harbaugh example of trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. We've seen if time and time again. Phillips, Hurst, all the way back to the dreadful Gino Gradkowski / AQ Shipley days.

The OL is a problem.  And it won't get any better despite Harbaugh's spin.  Stanley has played well for the first two games.  Hard to see that continuing as he has not gone a season without being banged up for quite some time.  

 

Whatever happens this season is on DeCosta.  I still question why you sign Henry while your Oline is disintegrating.  I have no problem with Henry, but it is hard to play him to his strength when you have allowed your Oline to degrade the way he did.  

 

Harbaugh and Jackson will no doubt get blame if this season flames out, but if the Ravens fail to go as far as they did last year, the real culprit is a GM that did nothing to help his OL.

The biggest problem was Faalele and if he's not on the field today, then I'll give Harbaugh credit for at least realizing what a disaster he was.  I wish he'd just put Cleveland at guard, leave him there and let him and the rest of the starters develop a chemistry over time.  So, I'll hold out hope that it will get better.  If it doesn't, they have no chance of getting back to the post season.

If only we were as smart as John. Falele at RG is 4D chess.

The line may be awful all year, or it could be fine by midseason and this was just a temporary hiccup. There is a reasonable world where Voorhees and Rosengarten grow into the job a little, Stanley and Linderbaum remain good, and somebody takes the RG job and is alright. That is a lot of ifs though, and I wish EDC would have kept one more surer thing.

[BaltBird 24]

I've got faith in Vorhees and Rosengarten. They've both looked solid enough. I've got faith they can make the RG spot solid with Mekari/Cleveland. Please just end the Falele experiment.

Forgot FOX is the Dallas hype network.

[Ravens2006]

Ugh. Have to watch Harbaugh's face occasionally pop up on the screen, while ALSO listening to Tom Brady. The next 3 hours have all the makings of a vomit fest...

[BSLChrisStoner]

Dallas receives.

Flag out. Holding on Dallas.

[BaltBird 24]

Good to see Wiggins back out there.

[BSLChrisStoner]
