I didn't catch the Vorhees stray initially. I think he's doing fine. Him and Roger will have their bumps and bruises but by the end of the season i think we can have a capable line. Big Fail needs to sit and if there's a game to do it its here before we go back to conference/division play. If Cleveland looks like ass in a national game now you've proven your point. But boy if he shines...

Faalele is catching most of the attention, and rightly so, but Vorhees has been cheeks so far. Arguably more so than Faalele. He just has the benefit of playing between Stanley and Linderbaum rather than Linderbaum and Mekari.

Voorhees has shown more improvement than Faalele though. It helps that he plays near Ronnie Stanley for sure but he definitely has shown more promise.

He was absolute cheeks against the Raiders, arguably worse than Faalele, so I don't know how we can say that.

Can you explain your thoughts? I did not think he was good vs Raiders. But I didn't see him on his ass as much as Faalele. I also didn't see him not get a single hand on his guy. Also when we became left handed running it was way better than right.

I thought he looked like a bad NFL guard. I thought Faalele was actually insulting to fans

I think he whiffed on quite a few blocks, but Lamar has been decently heady about getting the ball out fast. He also hasn't been great as a run blocker, which is something Faalele has been okay at when the Ravens just run behind him in a line.

I think Faalele is drawing so much ire that people are being more lenient with the issues at other positions.

Faalele has been a terrible run blocker

Vorhees and RR are going to be good ones here for a long time. As you said there will be a period of inconsistentcy, but we have a great, young foundation with them and Lindy.

Ravens Ring of Honor
Our secondary after two games is ranked one of the worst in the NFL.

I thought this was going to be our strength on D this year.

WTF is going on??

As a puller? Absolutely. When the Ravens run right behind Faalele? They've had success.

For anyone curious, someone made a chart that they'll cumulatively update of Henry's rushing stats by direction:
