DJB Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Dont worry. I'm sure the media will say Lamar doesn't need an oline to repeat as MVP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan17 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Massive hit to their line, but they are a very good drafting organization. Obviously Yanda will have immense shoes to fill, but again, the Ravens draft well... Will be worth keeping an eye on how they patch that hole.

When the Ravens lost their center Matt Skura and rookie Mekari took his place, the OL did surprisingly well. A couple of our Ravens visitors expressed that Yanda was helping Mekari with the protection calls and that's one reason why they did so well. 18 minutes ago, BillsFan17 said: Massive hit to their line, but they are a very good drafting organization.

If they get Skura back from his knee injury, they may try to slide Mekari over? He played well for them at center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skura was playing some of his absolute best football before the injury in week 12. However, like you mentioned Mekari filled in extremely well. Considering they have some legit talent all along the line, losing Yanda will hurt, but they may be able to plug the hole with what they already have on the roster. They only have around 30 million in cap space if I'm not mistaken. Idk how Yanda's retirement factors into that figure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can ask him to repay the 2020 amortized portion of his signing bonus which is another $4M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Big loss, but the Ravens seem to do well with player personnel acquisitions, as well as John Harbaugh plugging them in. I wouldn't be too concerned if I was a Ravens fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronxbomber21 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Buffalo should've moved up for Yanda instead of drafting Edwards. But it was a good draft getting Lynch & Poz even though we didn't keep ether Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blokestradamus Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 About five years ago, I spent the offseason just watching the modern day greats on the O-line. I really don't think I'll ever see anyone better on the interior than peak Yanda & Osemele. Congratulations to Marshal on a tremendous career. First ballot HOF'er for me, no question. I hope he just gets to enjoy his retirement without too much pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corta765 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Can't emphasize enough how much this will impact the Ravens. He was a stabilizing force and when those go on O-line it takes a bit to get things back together. Buffalo lucked out that Dawkins has emerged as such a leader and quality player after Eric Wood left. Ravens will still be a very very good team but this will make their road a bit tougher.
