Wasn’t everyone on here saying Mekari should get all the snaps over the rookie? How has he given up that many pressures?

From the start I've said give RR the snaps. I also didn't think Faleele would be this bad. They need to stop the bullshit and play the rookie. Gotta admit I'm shocked Mekari has looked this bad.

@UPennChem I didnt even know i was spelling his name wrong and sure as hell don't care to learn it now.

@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 agree with him, it’s insane for Lamar not to turn around and just play the ball against Adams, don’t give the ref a reason to call you for DPI on a desperation 3rd and long

I don’t understand this season so far. The Saints and Vikings look like really good teams. The teams I expected to be really good are struggling.

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

we nearly lost that game in the 4th quarter...

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.

like even if they hate cleveland's guts and think he sucks, play Josh Jones instead, or play Mekari at RG and put RR in at RT

they kept Sala too... if Faalele is this bad and Cleveland's worse, then wtf is the point of having Sala who's orders of magnitude behind Cleveland

That’s what I don’t get. If you’re telling me that Faalele is one of the best 5 OL on this team, we’ve majorly fucked up.

I’m sure Cleveland is more than just on field play based on those comments, and it’s not a good look to excuse bad habits. But I also don’t think it’s a good look to excuse bad play and put your franchise QB at continued risk. Give me the guy that may be lazy but plays solid over a guy that may work hard but plays like shit 10 times out of 10.

i just dont understand how mekari or josh jones could be worse than faalele at RG - i know jones is better playing left-handed, but Mekari has successfully played all across the line

and ben cleveland has played absolutely fine at RG, fine enough that we all had him pencilled in as the starter for this year until training camp started
 
I want to know how many 4th quarter 10 point leads we have had over the last 5 years and the percentage of the ones we have still won.
 
The main point of Harbaugh's press conference that resonated with me today was when he spoke about the player's performances to earn being the starter: "SHOW ME!" I've had this attitude about the Ravens, in general (especially their offense) for years! I'm sick of all the hype about this team! Enough!

To all the players. You say you are a good team...a Superbowl contender? Then, starting with our 2x MVP Lamar Jackson......SHOW ME!
