Did what we were supposed to do. Went in, beat them up, got the important guys out early, and came out healthy moving onto next week. This team is best when they're having fun and that's exactly what is happening right now. Keep the momentum and take it to Tennessee or Indianapolis.

As a random aside, it was weird to see a #17 out there playing CB
I'm not even sure when #17, believe his name is Brooks, was signed.

He's been on the PS for a couple of months now. Sounds like he only got the call today because Desir was out of free callups and they didn't want to lose him, so Brooks got the nod.

that was probably our 11th or 12th CB going up against AJ Green lol

Who played Center most of the game? I saw we started UDFA Trystan Colon-Castillo over Skura but I was pretty sure Skura came in at some point. It seemed we didn't miss a beat running the ball even with Trystan in instead of Skura.

i am almost 100% sure that TCC played every single center snap

announcers kept calling him skura though so that might be where the confusion comes from

Crazy how far Skura has fallen. Not sure what is going on with his snaps, but seems he even lost his role as the extra blocker today, too. I saw Bredeson out there a lot more.

Ah ok that's probably it. Pretty crazy that with a UDFA at Center we didn't miss a beat and fell 22 yards short of a NFL rushing record. Skura is going to be an interesting decision this offseason.

So who do we play? Or are we still waiting to see?

tbf they like Bredeson as the 6th OL - he's got some nice mobility

skura and TCC are pretty similar guys in terms of profile - obviously skura has the experience which might matter next week (or it might not) but TCC been good snapping and not obviously an issue (got called for a false start double clutching on a snap one time but otherwise no penalties i think)

not interesting at all - skura's gone lol - the hope has to be that someone gives him a decent contract to play for them and we maybe get a comp pick out of him

not sure why anything else would be on the table - looks like he's not even the backup C let alone a threat to start right now

Oh agreed. If Mekari can get healthy, I wouldn't be shocked at all if he and TCC are the active Cs in the playoffs with Skura in street clothes. Feel bad for the guy because he was doing so well last year and was on his way to a nice contract. And now, he could fizzle out of the league with what he's shown this year. Probably best for him to move on and hope to rehab his value in a system with a QB who spends most of his time under center, unless he can get his yips under control.

It's so hard to beat a team twice in a season, let alone twice in a week. But I just think so little of the PIT offence, that I'm picking CLE to win that game

It's only interesting because then that leaves another hole on the offensive line to fill unless TCC takes over which he may have just won the spot with his play that helped us get 404 yards rushing.

hopefully there's a buyer because there's no way he's starting here next year with the way Mekari had played before his back and with the way TCC has done I'd say there's no reason for the Ravens to bring him back

And I really like Skura, but TCC is such a better fit now that he's had some time to work in the weight room. Such a nasty streak and fits right in with the other guys there.

have you forgotten about Mekari?

I hope we're adding an IOL at some point in the draft anyway

Oh yeah I forgot about him lol. Either way we need to add an interior OL like you said.

Skura is definitely gone though, I think he could find a home somewhere else but not good enough of a contract for a comp pick.
