    I don't think they know yet.

    I don't know is a legitimate answer. Just because we're used to being lied to, doesn't mean it's always a lie. I think the biggest problem is Titus being frustrated early after his move to LG and concluding he wanted to go back to RT where he'd had more success. But I hear he made significant progress at Guard and might be persuaded to remain there. So it's going to require a little work beyond just technique if I'm reading the tea leaves right. We don't even know what our new offense will look like, so we can't know who fits and where.

    I think just based on the guys in the room, it seems pretty likely, barring several injuries.

    The goal I believe, it to be able to attack the weaknesses of the opponent, whatever that is. But that takes flexibility we have not shown in the last few years. We have the beginning of being able to attack bigger defenses with bigger OL which also adds to the gap blocking ability against the Ravens, Chiefs and Philadelphia's and to some extent, the Jaguars. But we have to get ahead of the adaptation curve rather than be constantly behind it. But this is definitely easier said than done.

    Could be an option if center doesn’t figure itself out -


    Tyler Linderbaum, C, Baltimore Ravens
    Pick: 25 | Option declined: $23.403 million

    Linderbaum was a Pro Bowler in 2023 and 2024. He has been a crucial part of Baltimore’s run blocking — in his three seasons as a starter on the offensive line, the Ravens have finished second, first and first in rushing yards

    No one is paying $20 million for a center.

    Ravens & Linderbaum will figure something out (prolly). They saved some $$$ by cutting Tucker IIRC.

    Could have just drafted him instead of Green.

    Man it's like Schultz didn't even try to block. Give me an UDFA that will at least try to block > Schultz.

    .
    There's a place for pass first TEs. It's just not blocking on running plays.
