That's also with splitting time...
He's played better than this. So idk why he totally squandered his starting opportunity

He’s looked really bad, they’re not even touching guys, they’re just whiffing

Remarkably, the pass blocking has been better than most teams. If you look around the league many teams’ QBs are running for their lives, including Minshew yesterday.
I would argue having Lamar does a lot to make pass blocking look better than it is.
Wasn’t everyone on here saying Mekari should get all the snaps over the rookie? How has he given up that many pressures?
That's the thing that kills me. It's one thing to get bested by max crosby, totally get it. It's another to not even get a hand on him and delay it for one second. Lamar doesn't even get a chance to scramble or use his best assets because he's getting dropped the second the ball reaches him. Falafel isn't a remotely competitive NFL player. Doesn't even delay the pressure

He was a lot worse vs Crosby than Jones if my memory serves. Maybe thags a stylistic thing fkr him. But either way, he's been disappointing.

I’m also calling him Falafel until he earns the right to have me lookup how to spell his name

His opportunity should've been squandered in the first quarter yesterday, if it wasn't for someone aiding and abetting his opportunity to last this long as the starter.

I don't know about everyone here, but I figured RR should've gotten way more playing time yesterday and let him go through his growing pains. He looked promising.
I know we played well on all sides of the ball in the Super Bowl, but it is funny to me the only time we were able to not shoot ourselves in the foot and blow the game was against Greg Roman and Jim Harbs. I'm saying John can only beat his own family style of play in the 4th Q
I don't think it matters if we don't have a NFL player at RG, any combo is going to wreck that side up. Of course, getting a starting gaurd at this point is pretty impossible, but I don't see why we don't at least try Cleveland.
At the very least we can get some move in the run game with him.
Probably helped that while as dominant as Jones is, he was still a DL playing Edge. Benefits a T who gets beat because he doesn't have that insane change of direction ability to get to a QB a la Crosby.He was a lot worse vs Crosby than Jones if my memory serves. Maybe thags a stylistic thing fkr him. But either way, he's been disappointing.

@JAAM , you weren't lying. Holy shit. Other from Orlovsky, I've lost interest in NFL talk on First Take. NFL Live does a better job with their analysis.
I don't think he's worse than Faalele and honestly I think Cleveland was the coaching staff ideal starter at right guard but its possible they didn't like something. Could be he didnt show up to camp in better shape or maybe he didnt take on practice duties serious enough than Faalele
I'm sure that's part of it, and I even gave them the benefit of the doubt. But we've now seen 5 games of Faalele at RG and the good moments are so few and far between. I can't buy that a guy that can't process nor move quickly enough is ever going to be anything useful. Cleveland may be a lazy piece of shit but we've at least seen him play well. Just feels like playing Faalele is malpractice at this point with not much hope of getting better.

This would imply that Harbaugh is not completely full of shit about his vendetta against Cleveland
Sorry about yesterday. I believe the Ravens can turn this around and make the playoffs.
