Probably one of the worst seasons in terms of start of year expectations in a very long time.

 

Get healthy Joe

 

TBH as soon as I saw how the OL was playing I knew it would take some luck to get him through the season, then he started the year already hurt..

How they continue to miss out on guys for years at this point is hard to watch

Should see that rectified after draft.

 

Sure, now that they're desperate for a starting RT.  Would've been nice to have that guy pushing Jonah or maybe even claiming that spot by now.  At least he'd have a year of NFL conditioning instead of being penciled in as a starter before the pick is even made. Worst case they'd know if they had another bust before it mattered (though from what we've seen they'd probably start him anyway.)

 

Good times draft for the long term, not with their upcoming season hanging in the balance.

She seems enamored with herself.

Hope this isn't another Kelcce-Swift

In game show.

Then again he may not be here next yr .

 

It's ok to admit you think she's hot, bro :D

 

Seems like every other 20-something woman with an Instagram. At my age yeah that's a huge red flag but would you rather be him or one of the 100 dudes simping in her DM's? He's probably got a lot of selfies online, too.

 

Don't hate; congratulate. :drinks:

All true.

Id rather go with a true college RT than re-sign Jonah again.

 

Not all rook OTs are busts .😎

With not a single 2023 draft pick invested in that OL.  It's hard to understand, let alone watch.

Plenty of big holes on the roster. They need a DT every bit as much as they need an OT. You won't even make it out of the AFC North unless you can slow down the run. They couldn't do it this year even when they had Reader. Gave up the most division rushing yards in AFC North history.

Ideally we'd have someone of Jonah's level for that rookie to fight it out with but I suspect you'll get your wish.  Jonah is likely to get overpaid by someone desperate for anything resembling an NFL LT.  It's going to be hard to find a decent RT for competition that'd be ok knowing the plan is to replace him & face being cut before the season starts.  Basically looking at someone rehabbing an injury, on the outs with their old team for questionable reasons, or an aging vet taking a victory lap.

 

So while not all rook OT's are busts, the ones here lately have been & the free agents haven't been a whole lot better.

It's obvious we need to upgrade 

the Dline.

How fast will they pull the trigger on one?

Or a RT for that matter..

Think that had more to do with young safeties being slow to react than anything up front.  The injury made it a definite need, though.

I don't really understand this thinking. If they took a guy to compete with Jonnah this past year, then you're likely looking at a 2nd round pick at worst. Which means they wouldn't give up on that guy after one year, and your looking at having to start a 2nd year guy who may not be good vs starting a rookie next year who may not be ready. At some point the guy who is inexperienced is going to have to get a start when you lose as many guys as we are likely to lose in the next 2 years, that's just the nature of the beast. 

 

Right now I do not expect us to win the division next year either. We have too many question marks right now. That said we should be back on top the following year. The Ravens will have their own turnover and the Steelers and Browns don't have a good QB to be anything other than a wild card.
