With Flacco coming from a small school, he needs time to adjust to pro-level defenses. Boller should give it to him. It’s a good thing to do for Kyle too, who may be able to earn his way onto an NFL roster next year with some passable performances, and hopefully an away win. I’ll be more than content rooting for Kyle Boller for the next year, knowing that Joe is on his way.

The Oline I believe will improve I believe, despite the expected loss of Ogden. With Chris Forester gone (anyone really think he’ll find another job coaching in the NFL?) our Oline should gel a lot better. I believe Forester was one of the big problems with our Oline last year. The Ravens love David Hale in the fourth, christening him one of our “red star” players. Great size and technique, less than desirable athleticism, at the least, he should make a great backup. Oniel Cousins is raw, but great athleticsm, and could start on this team. Jason Brown and Ben Grubbs are already stud players. This means our big question marks are at Center, where Chris Chester is still a shaky project, and LT, due to the importance of the position. Adam Terry and Jared Gaither could both step up into a starting role at LT this year, however.
