Northern Territory is a new series at Baltimore Beatdown that is similar to the Ravens Nest, a collection of links to stories across the NFL internet landscape. Northern Territory will focus exclusively on news and stories surrounding the Ravens’ rivals in the AFC North.
Cincy Jungle - Cincinnati Bengals
Bengals positional comparison from 2016 to 2017: offensive guard
The Bengals set out to make some major changes to the offensive line this offseason, following such a poor performance in 2016. But, the changes that took place were likely not what we all had in mind. How does the unit compare from 2016 to 2017?
Dawgs By Nature - Cleveland Browns
Can Cody Kessler take advantage of an improved Browns offensive line?
But the Browns weren’t blind; with or without significant upgrades at the quarterback position, nothing would truly bring about improvements if the offensive line wasn’t more talented. Thus, Cleveland brought along a pair of free agents—center J.C. Tretter and guard Kevin Zeitler—while at the same time getting guard Joel Bitonio back from a foot injury that cost him all but five games a year ago.
Behind the Steel Curtain - Pittsburgh Steelers
Making sense of the Steelers wide receiving corps heading into 2017
Eli Rogers established himself as a viable no. 3 receiver. Sammie Coates briefly became Martavis Bryant version two before vaporizing half of the bones in his right hand. Cobi Hamilton and Demarcus Ayers both caught touchdown passes. Darrius Heyward-Bey did little to diminish his employability. Then, this offseason, Pittsburgh signed Justin Hunter, a former second-round draft choice, and used their own second-round pick on Juju Smith-Schuster, an All-American at USC and one of the top receivers in the draft.
