Tua is a junior and a kind of guy that might just go back to school for senior year.Its pretty much Tua to Miami at this point

But now these players have the reputation of being quitters when the going gets tough. The more-talented players on that squad may get some leeway but that's about it.
The dolphins hired Flores to be the scapegoat and nothing more, they probably agreed to pay him a little extra under the table after the tank is finished for him to basically destroy his HC chances, otherwise who the hell would want that jobI just think that the organization as a whole is responsible for this. How do you ask players to work their asses off during the off season, training camp, and preseason just to “tank” for draft picks in 2020. Risking career ending injury. The idea of playing for draft picks is bad business IMO. It just breeds this kind of stuff. It would be a little different if they were out of contention at mid season or beyond, but starting a season under these conditions is not good for players, and especially not good for a rookie HC who is responsible for keeping the locker room together.
It looks like players are blaming Flores for bad coaching scheme here but the problem is bigger then that. The GM has done a f’d up job trying to transition this team to rebuild IMO.

exactly. No one would want this and the Dolphins are going to need more than one year of a rebuld. I don't care how many picks they have, they need much much more than a QB.Yeah I don’t know. It’s more likely they failed to tell him all of their plans, because like you say, who the hell would walk into that situation.

I get why the players are mad but I don't think they made an awful plan on defense. The strength of that defense is SUPPOSED to be the secondary and so they tried to lean on them.
Its also not like the Ravens were not still pounding the rock against a weak front 7 so if they want to be the strength of the team show it, and if they aren't a good enough unit to do so then that says a lot when 2nd contracts come around.
so far id honestly say orlando brown jr had the worst game of any of the ravens starting OL - not a bad game but not a great game either for him
the breakdown of snaps by quarter for all our offensive skill position players here is more instructive than simply looking at the snap counts - says a lot about usage and what the ravens might do moving forwards

Brown I get, he is still injured (not getting into this again), but why Boykin? In a vacuum, you would think so long as Lamar is out there you want your rookies out there.
i dont get the issue - this to me says boykin's clearly a starter - he's got 18 snaps but that was 2nd on the team in the 1st half behind only snead
ive reviewed this statement and i can say i was not just slightly wrong but completely wrong - orlando had possibly the best game of any of the starting OL - maybe even better than Yanda albeit im not read to say that for sure yet lol
As I scored it, Brown had his best game as a Raven and it was slightly better than Yanda although I graded both as As.
The play of Brown in week 1 was the biggest relief on the OL, given his poor play in the preseason. Here's my writeup for the OL:
