The Baltimore Ravens are sorely missing continuity on the offensive line
The Ravens’ offensive line was borderline awful against the Bengals. With Marshal Yanda, Kelechi Osemele and Eugene Monroe all shuffling in and out due to injury, though, can you blame them?
The problems were two-fold. First of all, Eugene Monroe looked a little rusty and Marshal Yanda did not look the same after missing a few plays with a knee injury. Second, the chemistry was clearly not there, as the Bengals’ blitzes got home too often.
Pay close attention to the injury report this week. The Ravens need their first-string offensive line to get some practice reps together to regain that chemistry, as it was a major issue this week.
