M.10.E Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 If he can pass protect in the playoffs it's worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalvadorsDeli Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 For that pricetag it looks like they were choosing between Villanueva and Houston rather than necessarily being able to fit both in. Sort of seems like an odd fit compared to Dennis Kelly given his apparent strength is pass protection and he struggles in run blocking. Maybe not a bad thing though - you could argue Roman's scheme will make him better in the run game regardless and that his individual qualities in pass pro are more important. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or they were seeing how the draft shook out. If they had drafted a 1st round OT instead of Oweh, they probably would have signed Houston. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravens5520 Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 I read yesterday that there is a lot of talk about wanting to sign both still. I wonder with this contract, if we can fit both players under the salary cap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was coming here to say something similar. His skill set may incentivize us opening up the passing game more in 2021. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baltimoreRebel Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 I don't mind the signing. Still hoping we can sign Houston or someone like Kerrigan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are expecting a turnstile and an easy run at the QB every snap. He allowed 3 sacks on 800 drop backs with a statue at quarterback last season. They just mad we plucked a compensatory from them! Lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SalvadorsDeli Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 (edited) Guessing he meant Cleveland at LG, not LT. I'm sort of out of my element a little bit when it comes to some of the intricacies of OLine play but does this projected lineup suggest we're going to see some tweaks in the running scheme? Cleveland and Villanueva both seem to be more of 'strength' vs. 'mobility' linemen. I'm unsure of what Zeitler's exact skillset is. Bozeman was our primary pulling linemen last year too so maybe it's just a matter of building the scheme around having the center on the move. But the complexity in Roman's running game seems largely to come down to moving blockers around after the snap to create unique holes. Do we expect any significant differences in terms of overall skillset/scheme if the above ends up being the starting line?

Meh, that's not particularly crazy as he was pretty clearly our best pass coverage LB (inside or out/edge). Not 100% sure that's man coverage or if he has the shallow zone / flat responsibility and it was clear they were going there with the motion.
