Ravens' Oniel Cousins Wants RT Position

The Ravens opted to put in man-sieve Chris Chester and pull a Pro Bowl-caliber guard out of position instead of playing Cousins at RT. Unless he’s miraculously discovered how to play tackle, my money is on practically anybody else on the roster starting at RT before him.

no doubt he was missed last year! What is his health status so far this year?

I do hope the Ravens bring back Gaither but if not the Ravens may have to work with what they got some ravens fans may not feel comfortable with Oniel Cousins at the starting right tackle position becuase of what happen in the steelers game but stuff like that happen. Look at micheal oher he totally allow troy p to get pass him which cost us the game but nobody is talking about that situation.

it was reported that oniel cousins & Ramon Harwood are training with former raven right tackle orlando brown and he said:

"Cousins needs more reps and confidence, but the more reps he gets, the confidence will come," Brown said with a knowing chuckle. "He also needs to work on his flexibility. Ramon is coming along, too. My main thing with him is his attitude. Not like me when I played, but tone it down just a little bit from there. He told me that he was going to play with an attitude.

"I said, ‘When you play offensive line, you can’t ever relax. As soon as you do that, you’re giving up a sack."

News of Harewood’s mobility is surely a positive for the Ravens. The 2010 sixth-round draft pick never saw a snap as a rookie, as he needed surgeries on both knees and needed all season to rehabilitate.

Now – after several workouts over the past few weeks – Brown is impressed with his pupil’s mobility.

"He’s got full motion, side-to-side, shuffling, all that. He’s looking real good compared to the first week," said Brown. "When we started, his knee would get tight and sore. We took it easy then. But now, for the last month, he’s doing good."

Brown was known for his nasty demeanor. On the field, the 6-foot-7, 360-pound "Zeus" was an imposing beast, solidifying the Ravens at right tackle from 1996-98 and 2003-05 and adding toughness up front.

I’m really hoping Harewood show’s something in camp. He is somebody that obviously needed work because he hasn’t played football all that long, but he has all the physical tools and is an extremely hard worker. I remamber when the lockout was lifted temporarily that four players showed up to the facility and one of them was Harewood. I’m hoping he made some big strides over the year and can at least compete for the spot. If we don’t retain Gaither I am a little nervous though about our RT spot. There is certainly potential there, but I think that is an area we should look to fill in free agency. We can’t afford to go through the same line problems as last year and that also means Oher needs to play better as well.
