Props to Quay, and refreshing to see. Not many people these days willing to admit they were wrong. All we can do is try to get better!
 
Brandon Stephens posted an IG story of himself in the hospital in Cincy. Whatever illness he missed practice with on Friday must have hit hard when he got there. Hope he recovers soon.

Felt like the refs didn't even want to throw the flags initially. Lions running back almost got his head taken off. If a qb was ever hit like Swift(?) was on the play flags would have been out so damn fast but nothing. I still don't get why Quay got so mad at the trainer.

they didnt even throw a flag for the hit which they 100% should have
that guy should have been thrown out the game with Quay

Been a really good run stopper at a minimum. Was on IR for a portion of the season as well so not a great year with that in mind, but he looks like he'll be a good one going forward.

Eagles defence took a quick nose dive the first week he was out injured
doesnt have sacks, but as expected pre-draft, he's a chess piece that makes everyone around him better - they brought in linval joseph and ndamukong suh to try and mitigate some of the loss felt in his absence

pretty sure he's off I/R now though

Remember when I said by pff Kyle Hamilton had to be the highest graded rookie we've had in a looong time. Well he is not. Because Linderbaum is lol.

So the usual "pause" with PFF rankings is that they tend to overvalue run blocking compared to pass blocking. While I've loved when I've seen from Linderbaum and think he's a future stud, 30th in pass blocking is terrible. It's a subjective measurement so its not gospel, but something to keep in mind. Him being an excellent run blocker doesn't surprise anybody, and the fact that the Ravens run the ball so often certainly helps.

Yeah makes sense. He should continue to improve in pass pro, but may never be elite there. Run blocking has been a revelation though

I gotta admit - that strip sack definitely relieved some frustration about this exact situation lmao. Dude looked good as hell out there besides that too
