coordinator0 Posted September 19, 2017 Author Share Posted September 19, 2017 Joseph is interesting. He's an undrafted free agent from this past draft, but fits the mold of a developmental lineman. More along the lines of what you would expect on the practice squad but that's where the Ravens signed him from. Chicago's to be specific. I like this. No real hardship to keep him stashed on the active roster with how man injuries the team has been hit with thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danand Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 This will most likely be a revolving door on oline, where they will try to figure out, not who is the best player, but who fits the best into what the coaching staff want them to do. I expect some heavy shuffling. Also, what is the chance of moving Howard inside and have someone with a bit quicker feet on the right tackle considering how we roll Flacco out to that side more often this year?

I highly doubt we find anyone better than Howard at RT during the season (that is not to say that Howard is good, more that OL talent in the league seems to be quite low) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wackywabbit Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Agree, we aren't doing better than Howard outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coordinator0 Posted September 19, 2017 Author Share Posted September 19, 2017 The alternative to Howard is Hurst. So no. At left guard James hasn't gotten Joe killed yet so that's something. Austin is pretty slow at right tackle though. I really hope he's not the starter next season. He's gotten the job done thus far but I don't trust that archetype of linemen, especially at tackle.

From what I saw from him so far, if he doesn't wall off his opponent, they basically run right past him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RavensDefense3 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 So whats the news on Zadarius Smith? He was playing really good before getting injured in week 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

berlin calling Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 i am really curious to watch if Brandon Williams indeed is key to our DLine / run defense or if they will not miss a beat against a talented runner in Fournette who you know will get at least 20 carries. With ZSmith back they should be at full strength besides #98 if i'm not mistaking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wackywabbit Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 With Za'darius back, I'm hoping we can put 2 OLBs on the field in addition to Tyus Bowser. The ILB next to Mosley is a talent hole that we don't need to have out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drd23 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 You can move players directly to IR from the practice squad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a separate injured reserve list for the practice squad. I thought there was but couldn't find anything about it, and now it's updated on the Ravens' main site.
