And we thought our O line was bad!

Maybe this is what it would look like if Big Ben had our O-line in front of him?

How did we lose to this embarrassment. 

Rather then asking this question about our week one loss to to a healthy Steelers team how about being a Ravens fan asking that question tonight?

You know what an interesting stat would be -  sacks from missed assignments by RBs vs Oline.  Or even just sacks that are blown assignments vs a guy that beats his block.    Another one would be coverage sack.   Something to the extent of QB held ball after x amount of time.    
 

I think it would give you an idea of whether it’s scheme, talent, both, or maybe nothing.    
 

Sort of like calling the Strahan sack on Favre a sack….when Favre flopped to give him the credit.    Find out what’s a sack and what’s someone else’s bs.    Not worth anything other than….I’d find it interesting anyway.

Did you watch the Jags game?

Or the Houston game when both DT's broke through unblocked and Allen turned it into a 30 yard pass to Diggs.

I did.  Nothing like what Ben is catching this game.  Not even close.  He is getting destroyed immediately 

 

3rd Q and already 5 sacks—getting ROCKED on each one.Josh only 4 while Jags game.

The number of sacks is sort of irrelevant with respect to comparing Allen & Big Ben given that one is a freak athlete and the other is an old guy playing a statue.

I like that play in the 1st half when the Stillers LT started a half second early (no call) and still double teamed inside and let the blitzer (H Smith?) get a free run on Ben before he could set. I don’t know if it’s physical incapability as much as they are indisciplined and/or don’t know their assignment.
